ACT-CIS Partylist Rep. Erwin Tulfo slammed the Employers Confederation of the Philippines for saying that they do not agree with the proposed law that would oblige private companies to hire Persons with Disabilities .Under House Bill 8941 filed by Tulfo and colleagues Reps. Edvic Yap, Jocelyn Tulfo , Eric Yap, Ralph Tulfo , and Wilbert Lee, two percent of a company with 1,000 employees should be PWDs, while one percent of workers for small businesses with 100 workers or less should be PWDs.
'That is your excuse, additional training and facilities which would lead to increased costs to the employer. Of course you will hire a PWD who is an expert in his work, like in the front desk or information technology personnel,' Tulfo said.'Bakit ka magha-hire ng PWD na hindi niya kaya? Kasalanan mo if kumuha ka ng PWD na hindi niya kaya ang trabaho dahil sa kanyang kapansanan ,' Tulfo added.He became even more irritated when he learned from Agusan del Sur Rep.
