Exploited workers now have a champion to fight for their rights

For decades, it has been the shame of this country, that despite having a progressive labor code in its statute books, our government has been unable and unwilling to stop the illegal business practice of contractualization.

While many have railed against contractualization, the practice has become more entrenched in our private sector. Some business leaders swear by it. And there are even some business tycoons who have the temerity to declare on national TV that contractualization is good for workers and for the nation.
