Labor and Employment

Last year, the number of unemployed Filipinos rose to 2.5 million. Definitely, labor and employment is a major issue that candidates need to focus on. Read up on what they have to say.
Eddie Villanueva
Bangon Pilipinas
The manifesto of a common man shall be heeded: the State shall promote an environment where job and business opportunities will make it possible for every Filipino to have a decent and affordable housing by rationalizing all government agencies involved in housing, leveraging on the resources of the GSIS and SSS or a new provident fund system with stronger terms of reference.

We will develop skilled and smart labor by, among others:
(1) Granting government scholarships for poor but talented minds
Increasing the mandate and budget of TESDA
(2) Establishing Entrepreneurial High Schools that can develop family and community enterprises with the view of also developing skilled and smart labor within the families and communities involved in these enterprises

Overseas employment must be seen as an option, not a necessity. Our goal must continue to be the provision of maximum gainful employment within the country, which can only be achieved with increased investments, both domestic and foreign. In recent years, bad governance has been the primary deterrent to investment in the country. We believe that with the good governance that Bangon Pilipinas will ensure, most of the needed solutions to the impediments to increased investment and job generation will fall into place.
