Labor Day

" Labor Day "

    Labor Day is a holiday celebrated on May 1st each year in the Philippines. This holiday may be traced back to the late nineteenth century, when workers' rights movements were gaining traction across the world. Labor Day in the Philippines is not just a simple holiday; it represents the struggles and achievements of Filipino workers.

    This Labor Day, we want to take a moment to celebrate the contributions of Filipino workers in all industries. Labor Day today serves as a reminder of the struggles and sacrifices made by employees to guarantee improved working conditions and fair salaries. More than that, it provides an occasion to recognize workers' contributions to the economy and society. Moreover, we are grateful for the hard work and dedication of our Filipino employees, who help us provide compassionate and respectful services.

    Furthermore, recognizing Labor Day serves as a reminder that we may continue to push for policies that encourage fair job opportunities and improve working conditions not only locally, but also internationally. As companies develop globally, our lobbying must be matched by efforts from governments responsible for preserving the wellbeing of their citizens, particularly those working overseas, such as OFWs and mariners.
