MANILA\u00a0<\/strong>— President Rodrigo R. Duterte on Monday sought for a compromise on labor contractualization or \u201cendo\u201d stressing how difficult it was to force employers to abolish the practice completely.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that I can really give them all\u00a0kasi hindi naman natin mapilit \u2018yung mga kapitalista na\u2026 kung walang pera o ayaw nila o tamad<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(because we cannot force capitalists\u2026if they don\u2019t have money or if they\u2019re lazy),\u201d Duterte said during the inauguration of the newest shooting range of ARMSCOR Shooting Center, Incorporated (ASCI) in Davao City.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t make it hard for them to run the business the way they like it because that\u2019s their money. So something of a compromise must be\u2026 maybe acceptable to everybody,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Duterte also pointed out that there were only a number of companies in the country that absorb human resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in other countries, be it Hong Kong, America, you work for a certain guy and if he does not like the quality that you produce, you get out, you get paid, separated and that\u2019s it,\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGanun lang sana<\/em>\u00a0(It could have been like that) but because there are few businesses to absorb the human resource,\u00a0kaya<\/em>\u00a0(that\u2019s why) they want some radical changes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Last Feb. 7, Duterte also sought for more time to sign an Executive Order\u00a0(EO)\u00a0to abolish labor endo\u00a0after meeting with labor groups in Malaca\u00f1ang.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was made to understand that he asked for more time to issue the Executive Order on endo,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. said in a Palace briefing. \u201cThat\u2019s all that I was informed by head of protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roque\u00a0said the President needed more time to review the documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is studying the matter more thoroughly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Labor groups earlier called for an end to labor contractualization through the issuance of an\u00a0EO that would give them security of tenure, self-organization, collective bargaining and peaceful concerted activities.<\/p>\n

During their meeting, Duterte assured that the government will do its part to forwarding labor rights.\u00a0(PNA)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
