I'm not against Duterte, i'm against the whole Philippine political system.
It's true, Duterte has made Davao a premier city. Davao is safe from petty criminal, drug addicts, smugglers kidnappers and every other felons that TV Patrol has no doubt made a headline of.
Here's the thing, last time I checked contractual employment is still practiced in SM City Davao. For me contractual employment is just as evil as drug pushing, it's just that the former is within the confines of "our" law.
I'm not from Davao so i'm curious about the how Duterte plans to solve that problem.
can you expound as to why contractual employment is evil? last I checked, pag contractual employment, you are at least guaranteed the correct minimum wage and basic benefits like SSS, philhealth and pag-ibig. kasi may contract kaya anytime pwede ka magreklamo. now compare that with majority of other businesses in the country and not just the big time corporations. you will see na mas ok pa ang mga contractual compared to them. there are lots and lots of businesses that do not comply with minimum wage laws nor do they give their employees benefits. and ano ang katapat bakit hindi nagkakaproblema? the employees agree to it, pumipirma sila, wala magawa ang DOLE kasi may consent
I can say na yung mga nagtratrabaho as contractuals on big companies like SM, mas maganda pa kita nila compared to other businesses. I know some businesses only pay like 100-150 per day to employees, ang consolation lang nila is libre tirahan, libre kain. but thats not what the minimum wage law says, it says regardless of position, tenure, etc, dapat ganun ang pay ng tao. yung mga carenderia, while their minimum wage is lower, most still pay lower than the minimum wage. bakit? kasi hindi kaya, maliit lang kita nila so they can only pay their employees a lower amount per day. now compare that with the contractuals of SM, sino mas malaki ang take home pay, sino ang mas nakakaprovide sa family?
I have interviewed hundreds of people and one of the common answers I have heard as to why they left their previous job is mababa ang sweldo. I have come across very few na galing sa mga contractual employment like SM. When I asked why they accepted the job even if mababa ang sweldo, its always the same answer - its better than having no job at all. Kung ako man maging presidente, I would probably devote my time instead to finding people jobs rather than ensure people have a comfortable job, a crappy job is better than no job. sobrang dami ang walang trabaho and they get more and more each year, konte lang ang trabaho na available
I think the problem is not the contractual situation but rather work conditions, yung mga tao sa SM hindi ata sila allowed umupo while on duty. Yan ang reason na naririnig ko during interview kung bakit umaalis sa mga tulad ng SM. nakakapagod daw masyado ang work, sobrang overworked daw sila. I never heard a reason na kulang ang sweldo as a reason kung bakit sila umalis sa mga tulad ng SM
