The Termination of Endo

Introduction
Endo it is a form of contractualization which involves companies’ worker temporary
employment it has been the most problematic schemes concerning labor relation in the
Philippines sonce the wonder is deprived certain rights and security. The agents involved
in the prevelance of contractual work or subcontracting are the private forms of Human
Resource Department. The contracting agency and contractual employees themselves.
There is widening gap between the workers in the formal and informal sectors in the
Philippines. On the other hand, the contractual worker is part of the informal sector when
they do not have a security of tenture, are not qualified to be given benefits; and are not
allowed for representation in their lives of work. The termination of “endo” (End of
contract) as a campaign promise of president Rodrigo Duterte will create varies
repercussions to the Philippine Economy. The labor force sees as a tool of the capitalist
to manipulate and exploit of the labors. The laborers is an prolonged unemployed and
uncompetitive. While endo has deprived many laborers, would rather accept a below
employment with full benefits enjoyed by a worker that have no paid employment. Since
the initial drafts of the Philippine Labor Code up until today, there has been no drastic
action on contractualization. This topic on Endo has been the subject of many debates
ranging through various presidencies each promising to end this exploitative labor
practice with each president contribution being a minute change to the Philippine Labor
Code. Cancellation of endo would be most likely post requirements for the
employees before new regular employees may be hired.
People tells that you cannot make anyone or force anyone especially the employers to
give what they do not have. To escape from the responsibility of carrying the load and
additional of hiring regular manpower, firms would rather their current roster of employees
work in lieu of hiring regular employees. With the current date on unemployment which
stands at 5-8 percent, that the incoming administration under the leadership of president
duterte that stands to inherit around 3.48 million people who are unemployed. The growth
component was focused on consumer- driven fueled primarily by election spending to be
in the high of 10-20 billion pesos. This amount of fund injection created temporary
employment opportunities that to an income that contributed to the quarter rate. This,
however is an short term “economic bliss” also known as bliss point is a quantity
of consumption where any further increase would make the consumer less
satisfied, that will go back to its previous dilemma of exclusive growth. That
countless growth have been experienced but the people who considered
themselves poor remain silent, the number of unemployed are remain at more than
at 3 million. Graft corruption remain unmoved, putting in the most corrupt country
in the world.
According to Senator Marcos that he is also have given the provisions and grounds
for the contractualization of workers of course in the Philippines. That he stated to allowed
hire people under the contract of 6 months. That these 6 months are used on trial period
of the employee. If the employee allowed to work after he time period of 6 months, he or
she will be considered as a regular employee in reasonable and accordance made known
by the employer to the employee at the time of engagement. If the employee unable to
show or have the talent to keep his or her job, he or she will be terminated from
employment immediately.
According to Corazon Aquino "In cases of regular employment, the employer shall
not terminate the services of an employee except for a just cause or when authorized by
this Title. An Employee who is unjustly dismissed from work shall be entitled to
reinstatement without loss of seniority rights and other privileges and to his full
backwages, inclusive of allowances, and to his other benefits or their monetary equivalent
computed from the time his compensation was withheld from him up to the time of his
actual reinstatement." That failed to recognize the current situation of those employed to
those probationary statuses. Employees could have not their services be terminated in
just a cause, but in order in a probationary employee to attain regular status. That he or
she will work more just than 6 months.]
According to Current President of the Philippines Rodrigo Roa Duterte that he
stands against the endo, promising to sign an executive order against it. However, the
marawi crisis ends postponing the signing. As of 2018, no executive order has been
signed by our president regarding the complete abolishment6 of contractualization. That
on March 15, 2018 in protest against the president delay of the EO. Eventually on May ,
President duterte signs the EO that would put to end to contractualization, although Labor
groups would criticize the presidents for his action since the one signed was not the draft
agreed upon with them.
There is no denying that the endo is a means for companies to get people when
they totally need it to dispose of them when they see fit. This has been become an
accepted to reality for the most partr that some companies have built their business. Of
course there are positive things that businesses had gain when endo been eradicated.
By giving benefits, business can be assurd of a more productive workforce. A person who
has job security will be more precise to success than someone who dread the day the
contract ends. Incentives can also be used to productivity and motivation, bringing forth
a more active work. At the pace that the president is handling its project, we can sure to
hear more news about this. But hopefully we can all look forward to a brighter future for
our work and our businesses.
