SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Monday said he joins the nation in greeting its workers, acknowledging the sacrifices they make for their families and the country, and in celebrating their day.
“Our workers are the backbone not only of their families but of the economy and the nation. The economy would not be running if not for their tireless toil,” Speaker Romualdez said.
“This is the reason why we in the House of Representatives always make it a point to attend to their concerns. We are committed to continue working on measures that protect their rights, promote their welfare and preserve their jobs and incomes,” he said.
He stressed that recently-enacted laws that aim to enhance economic growth and improve the investment climate in the country are geared toward job and income preservation.
Among these pieces of legislation are liberalization amendments introduced in the Public Service Act, Retail Trade Law and Foreign Investments Act, which are intended to attract more foreign investments.
“The investment-diplomatic missions of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his economic team, joined by a small group of House members, are all aimed at sustaining economic growth,” Speaker Romualdez said.
“If we can keep the economy on the high growth path, our workers’ jobs and incomes are not only preserved but we create more economic opportunities for them and their families, and our people in general,” he said.
