Underpayment of security guards deplored

SAYING that security guards are severely exploited because they are overworked and underpaid, a labor leader called on the Duterte Administration to implement labor laws, specifically Article 280, which pertains to the regularization of workers.

Fred Bentulan, president of Alas-Guwardya, said the Philippines has 500,000 registered security guards who are practically working as contractuals because their job is based on the contract of their agency with the business companies.
