Budget nga gipangayo sa DOLE sa 2027, gibara!

GIBARA ni Kamanggagawa Partylist Rep. Eli San Fernando ang gipangayo nga budget sa DOLE alang sa 2027!
Human ang init nga argumento tali Labor Secretary Francis Tolentino kalabot sa nahunong nga implementasyon sa 85-pesos daily minimum wage hike sa Metro Manila.
Matud ni San Fernando nga kung dili kaya sa DOLE nga depensahan ang mamumuo, wala kini katungod mangayo og budget.
Mi-intervene usab si Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez ug miklaro nga ang basehan sa buhatan sa nahunong nga wage hike implementation ang kamandoan sa korte suprema.
Mi-object usab kini sa mosyon ni San Fernando nga i-defer ang committee consideration sa budget sa DOLE alang sa fiscal year 2027, lakip niini ang TESDA.

“..You know, we can wait. But minimum wage earners who steal 60 pesos a day, even if it’s a small amount, it’s a big deal for the lives of minimum wage earners. That’s the reason why we’re getting angry.
Because we can hear it from the DOLE, you can’t stand what your mandate is. The explanation is too long. But you can’t just stop the minimum wage earners.
So if you can’t stop the workers, you have no right to ask for a budget. It also comes from the sweat, blood, and sacrifice of the minimum wage earners. And with that, Mr. Chief, I move to defer the committee consideration of the budget of DOLE for the fiscal year 2027, excluding TESDA, Mr. Chief.
Objection, Mr. Chairman. Despite my good friend’s very impassioned, he’s always a champion for our workers. And he has a right stand, and he really is for the workers.
Except that the Secretary is just telling us that there is a court, and there is a court order. There is already a, Mr. Chairman… Vice Chair Rufus. Yes, so I object, therefore.
Because we should also file an administrative case against that judge who issued a writ without the bond required. Move to object, despite my good friendship with Elijah. First of all, there’s no second from Elijah, so I cannot act on it.
I second, Mr. Chair. So now my objection, after he seconded my objection. Okay, so there’s a motion from Kong Eli for the deferment of the budget duly seconded by Cong Perci Cendaña with the objection from Vice Chair Rufus Rodriguez.
Mr. Chair, move to suspend, please..”
