Duterte reiterates order against contractualization
President Rodrigo Duterte has restated his stance against endo (end of contract) and agreed to certify as urgent a bill seeking job tenure for workers. The president also directed Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III to amend a department order that will end all forms of contractualization. Duterte reiterated his administration's policy against contractualization when he met with representatives of various labor groups in Malacañang. The president is also inclined to certify as urgent House Bill 444, a measure that aims to secure regular jobs by amending certain provisions of the Labor Code of the Philippines that allowed subcontracting or outsourcing labor through third party agencies.
