Sinaluduhan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang lahat ng mga manggagawa sa bansa.
Sa mensahe ng Pangulo ngayong araw, Mayo 1 o Labor Day, sinabi nito na patuloy na pagsusumikapan ng administrasyon na mabigyan ng patas na oportunidad ang lahat ng mga mangagawa.
“I join the entire nation in honoring all our mighty Filipino workers through the celebration of this year’s Labor Day,” pahayag ng Duterte.
Sinabi ng Pangulo na bagamat ilang araw na lamang at patapos na ang kanyang administrasyon, sinabi nito na patuloy niyang isusulong ang kapakanan ng mga manggagawa.
“This administration, even if it is coming nearly to a close, shall remain committed to providing the people with the opportunities they need to realize their full potential. It is my hope that this day recharges everyone as you continue to work for yourselves, your families and our nation,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
Biniyang pugay ng Pangulo ang mga manggagawa dahil sa kanilang “great passion, integrity at professionalism.”
Isang paalala aniya ang Labor Day para kilalanin ang karapatan ng mga manggagawa.
“Our people have been known worldwide for the great passion, integrity and professionalism they demonstrate in everything that they do. These qualities have not only brought economic gains to our country but have also been a source of immense pride and encouragement among our people,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
“For these reasons, I welcome this yearly occasion with much fervor. On this day, we are given the chance to celebrate all the triumphs and progress that the labor movement has accomplished over the years. We are likewise reminded to overcome the challenges by recognizing the rights of our workers and reassessing the systems that may hinder their growth and development,” dagdag ng Pangulo.
