Exploitations in the Midst of Economic Growth


Exploitions to Employer

By: Rev. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso


           It is difficult to detect if the employee abuse their employer to the extent of exploitations. This means, the utilization of another person or group for selfish purpose under in one corporate or company. This always happens I guess, many of the corporate here in the Philippines. This is injustice, and the government did not periodically check up these corporate who abused their employers. Well, if employers does not know their rights provided by our Philippines constitution under in DOLE (department of Labor and Employments) then they failed to challenge their rights. This blog will provide you guidance on your legal rights opinion and suggestions on how you will contest your rights against exploitations.

          Recently, I have a counselee telling me about the incident happened in their company. It was their day off and their boss by force call them to report in the office, while she (boss) send other workmates to vacation on the same day. Another incidents, they reduce workers and add loads of job-works with limited time or timetable that is stressful without increasing the salary. The task that was turn over to him was good for (3) three persons with salary that is good for single person. They call this a multi-tasking and talents expressions and threaten them for "firing" from the job if they will not comply. This is somewhat similar to forced labor and abused, that our government tolerated. The proportion of job-loads and salary is not in equal equilibrium "in the salary and bonuses they received". This is also a common abuse in the corporate that our government should take time to examine. Our economy is growing ahead of China, however, we do not feel the increase of the economy, if this abuse of some of the corporations cannot be lifted. Few years ago, many of the corporate in the Philippines made a cost-cutting due to economic downfall in the country. This results many of the workers being fired and turnover the task and maximising some employers to handle the job/task of the fired workers. The outcome was, the employers handle two to three tasks receiving salary good for one task only with minimal increase of salary. Today, we're not in the economic downfall, the corporate who practice this (exploitations) should be punish by our government.

           I would also suggest to our employers that they should study their rights and privilege in the corporate provided by our government. provided on our law Labor code Article 83[1], Article 91.1, and Article 91.2. If you are not satisfied with your compensations over your job description, you can also ask the DOLE, but the basic challenge to your employee is to go back to your signing contract of what job descriptions you signed over your salary and privileges from the company. 

          I would like also to appeal to our brothers and sisters who owns corporate and have many employers that they should practice justice over their employers, giving them right salary over their task.    We should avoid to practice materialisms in the expense of exploiting people by giving them overload task and under salary. We should not take advantage of those who are in need, and we should not make our selves extremely rich at the expense of (stealing the money) rightful salary and privileges to our employer. In practicing this, this is also a worship and giving glory to God. This will also set justice and equality in the company that encourage honesty and love. 
      I would also appeal to our brothers and sisters who are employed to give glory to God by complying task not because of the boss but for God alone. Do your task honestly, quality and precessions. In this we will help eradicate corruptions not only in the government but also in the corporate. Here is the site for salary system in the Philippines.(2)

        I would also suggest that our beloved President PNoy will organise a dialogue with the workers to really examine the salary system over the job and load for our employers. God bless.

Philippine Christians Voted Gay Marriage By Default

By: Ptr. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso           Imagine in a few years from now, we Born Again Christians, Pastors including Roman Catholic Priest and any church leaders here in the Philippines officiating GAY MARRIAGE in our respected churches? Yes! You read it right, gay marriages in our churches, and by force will be implemented. What would you feel and what might your reaction is? My initial answer to that might be the same with yours, of coarse a big “NO WAY”! Yes it's a big “NO WAY”! Unfortunately the House Bill 634 is on its way to be approve, they're now on " Second Reading" a few or last readings then it will be a law. Last July the another law "Reproductive Bill 5043" was approved and by next year “SEX EDUCATION in grade Five will be implemented. Churches has divided and has different views regarding this, no wonder this Bill passed. Then a few years from now House Bill 634 will be implemented. What is House Bill 634 by the way? This is ANTI-DIS...

Tips on How to survive from Tsunami and Flash Flood

Image
               I noticed that there is no body gives us tips on how to survive on the currents of flood, since Philippines is a  country. Last night, as I watched the News, I saw a woman swept away  from the flood in Isabela. I think of myself, in my personal evaluation she has a very slim chances of surviving on the water based on how she position herself. Therefore, I am passionate to share my personal experiences on how I survived on different hydro currents. I was able to cross with about 200 meters distance with one-meter high waves, with extra ordinary under current when I was about four year old. This experienced made me a swimming champion in our place, and I was able also to rescue my neighbor drown in the water; it was a life and death situation. That’s what made me a “hero” in our place during my childhood days, probably about six year old? Since then, I had no fear in wat...
