Ping, Suportado ang 4-Day Workweek Para Makabawas sa Epekto ng Pagtaas ng Presyo ng Langis

Sinuportahan ni Senador Ping Lacson ang panukala na magpatupad ng 4-day workweek para makaluwag ang mga Pinoy sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis.

Ani Lacson, makatutulong din ito para mas magkaroon ng oras ang mga empleyado kasama ang kanilang pamilya.

“As long as daily wage earners will be compensated for their extended hours of work which should be equivalent to five days,I will support that four-day workweek para matipid ang gamit ng fuel. Magandang suggestion and I think we should support that,” ayon kay Lacson.

Lacson: Suspend Fuel Excise Tax Now

With fuel prices expected to shoot up yet again, threatening to further raise the cost of living, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson called for the immediate suspension of excise taxes on fuel products even on a temporary basis until such time that the international price of oil stabilizes to a manageable level.

Lacson, who chairs the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security, said this will provide the much-needed breathing space not just to motorists but also to virtually all sectors affected by the upward trend in fuel prices.

But he also stressed that in the meantime, the government must draw up long-term solutions to the crisis, including the use of renewable energy.

Ping: Balanseng Minimum Wage, Kailangang Repasuhin Bunsod ng Pagtaas ng Presyo ng Langis

Ipinahayag ni Senador Ping Lacson nitong Huwebes na napapanahon na para repasuhin ang minimum wage bilang tulong sa mga manggagawa na apektado ng pagtaas ng presyo ng langis bunsod ng sigalot sa pagitan ng Russia at Ukraine.

Ayon kay Lacson na kasalukuyang tumatakbo bilang Pangulo sa ilalim ng Partido Reporma, kadalasang isyu na naririnig nila ng kanyang Vice Presidential bet na si Senate President Tito Sotto mula sa kanilang mga kumustahan at town hall meeting ay ang pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin.

“Napaka-timely ang panawagan ni Labor Sec. Silvestre Bello III na mag-meet ang tripartite wage board para pag-usapan kung kailangan na bang i-adjust ang minimum wage ng ating mga kababayan,” ani Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa Bombo Radyo.

Lacson: ‘Balanced’ Minimum Wage Review Needed Amid Fuel Price Hikes

A review of minimum wages is timely and necessary to help laborers cope with the surging costs of fuel amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.

Lacson, who is running for President under Partido Reporma, said one of the most common complaints he and Vice Presidential bet Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III have heard from people during their town hall meetings involved the rising costs of living.

“Napaka-timely ang panawagan ni Sec. Bello na mag-meet ang tripartite wage board para pag-usapan kung kailangan na bang i-adjust ang minimum wage ng ating mga kababayan (It is timely that Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III called for a meeting of the tripartite wage boards to discuss possible adjustments to the minimum wages of our workers),” he said in an interview on Bombo Radyo.
