In this era of modernization (with great faith and faithful vision), the Filipino
labor is on the verge of becoming a towering industrial edifice. Every worker sets
their eyes on a horizon to conquer: its take-off stage to a successful labor
evolution from that of Marx’s time to a paradigm of happiness – a paradigm void
of alienation, oppression and non-recognition. With towering hope and aspiration,
workers in this era wants what their forbearers has wanted since man started
working for his fellow man; happiness with his work and actual providence for his
family.
Given this scenario, a question remains: what can labor actually do to
meet this, given the resources and paradigm he is in?
After hearing both studies done by the speakers, it came to me the
realization that in addressing this question, two views are in order: (aa) the Micro
(individual workplace) and (bb) the Macro (national) perspective. Having these
views, I have realized the need of inculcating Diversity and Inclusiveness in the
lives, value even, of the obrero.
CONCLUSION:
There are two key areas that are highlighted with both studies: Diversity and
Inclusion. We Filipinos are blessed to have these two values inculcated in our
culture. We as Filipinos practice these values in our everyday lives, one way or
another. With grapevine, there is value of pakikisama. The same is a tool for
Monopoly representation.
Our role, being students of the field is to have a profound understanding of these
paradigms, and from us, the education of the labor masses for the development
of labor stance in the triadic paradigm, our own individual organizations, the
Philippine economy, and ultimately, the betterment of the lives of our workers.
