As the country commemorates Labor Day, President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Thursday vowed to provide concrete measures to address the needs of workers and their families. ''Nararapat lamang na ang pagdiriwang na ito ay gawin nating pagkakataon upang bumuo ng mga kongkretong hakbang upang matugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng bawat pamilya, matiyak ang kaligtasan sa lugar ng trabaho, at mapangalagaan ang karapatang makamit ang magandang kinabukasan,'' Marcos said in his message.
(It is only fitting that we take this celebration as an opportunity to develop concrete steps to meet the needs of every family, ensure safety in the workplace, and protect the right to a bright future.) ''Ang mga patakarang ating ipinatutupad ay dapat sumasalamin sa paninindigang ang tunay na yaman ng bansa ay hindi nasusukat sa kita, kung hindi sa dangal ng taong nagsusumikap,'' he added. (The policies we implement must reflect the conviction that the true wealth of a nation is not measured by income but by the dignity of the hardworking person.
) Marcos ensured that his administration would be a partner in crafting ''Bagong Pilipinas.'' He also acknowledged that workers have a significant contribution in the country's progress. ''Taimtim ang aming paninindigang kayo ay hindi pababayaan, bagkus ay higit pang itataguyod-hindi bilang tungkulin lamang, kung hindi bilang pasasalamat at pagkilala sa inyong tunay na halaga at sakripisyo,'' he said.
(We sincerely affirm that you will not be abandoned but rather will be further supported—not just as a duty but as gratitude and recognition of your true value and sacrifice.) —VAL, GMA Integrated News.
