During the PiliPinasDebates2022, presidential candidate and labor leader Leody de Guzman said that real change in the Philippines needs someone who is among the masses to be able to solve the issues in the country's elite-dominated government. READ:
MANILA, Philippines – Presidential candidate and labor leader Leody de Guzman pushes for 30% extra pay for workers if the proposed four-day work week pushes through.Dapat gawin ‘yong four days ay [may] overtime pay, may 30% increase. Hindi dapat parang one and a half days lang ‘yon”The labor leader’s suggestion was supported by fellow candidates Vice President Leni Robredo, Senator Panfilo Lacson, and Faisal Mangondato.
During an earlier debate organized by the CNN Philippines, De Guzman vowed to implement his “Labor First Policy” if he wins. The policy includes raising minimum wage and ending contractualization. On the question whether President Rodrigo Duterte’s “Build, Build, Build” program was a success, De Guzman said the government has become “worthless” because the infrastructure program did not solve the country’s basic problem.
