SHOULD he win again in the May 2022 polls, Senator Joel "Tesdaman" Villanueva said he would seek an end to "Endo" or "end-of-contract" among the labor sector by refiling the bill in the 19th Congress.
Villanueva, who was in Pampanga Monday, February 21, 2022, said in an interview that one of his important moves in the next Congress is to file the “Ending Endo” Bill and have it passed. The bill was earlier vetoed by President Rodrigo Duterte.
"The 'End Endo' Bill will allow workers to efficiently work as they would not be bothered with their tenure. It is a big thing to give workers peace of mind because if they are assured, they will be able to perform their duties and responsibilities far more efficiently, and when they are efficient, the work results would be good," he said.
Villanueva added that it will also work to the benefit of employers.
"The employer would benefit from it. They will have more profit. The employee would be more beneficial," he said.
Villanueva, a labor advocate, is seeking a second term in the Senate. He is a guest candidate in presidential hopeful Vice President Leni Robredo’s senatorial slate. (JTD)
