MANILA - The Philippines could not afford business closures that could lead to a decline in job opportunities, Malacañang said Friday as it defended President Rodrigo Duterte's rejection of the security of tenure bill.
Panelo added that the measure's passage could "discourage investment and remove the great potential of providing employment to our unemployed." "The President’s resolve to put a stop to the practice of exploiting the working class is undiminished as exemplified by the regularization of 462,428 workers from August 2016 to May 2019," he said.
