The Problem and the background of the study

Introduction

Covid- 19 pandemic brought a massive disrupt to labor market, majority of

employees reported their job was suspended, hours and pay reduced, or were forced to

take unpaid leave. Shutdown of business establishment has led to the country’s highest

– ever unemployment rate. This situation pushed to do massive layoff of workers from

companies that turn to closure. During COVID-19, it is likely that the owner/managers

are finding themselves at a crossroads for their hotel. On the one hand, they should have

to find a way for their hotel to survive the crisis. On the other hand, they need to make

humane decisions for their employees. Due to various quarantine measures imposed by

the government around the world, certain industries, businesses or establishments have

been affected much more than others. Fear of financial loss may lead to rash decisions

that will ultimately cost a company to abandon the well-being of its employees. As only

business establishments and services involved in the value chain of essential services are

operational that needs to respond to unusual situation and to address the fast changing

variables presented by Covid- 19. (Citation)

Palawan is a province in the Philippines situated in the MIMAROPA grouped

under the Luzon island group. The province has a land area of 14, 649.73 square

kilometres or 5, 656.29 square miles. Its population is 939, 594 as determined by the

2022 Census. It has 23 municipalities, with 367 barangay; Puerto Princesa serves as the

provincial capital. It is located at the westernmost of the Philippines (Philippine

Statistics Authority, 2021).

 Dealing with retrenchment or an unexpected loss of income can be challenging

for many people, causing significant financial and emotional hardship. According to

Ralph Rivas, Covid- 19 plunges to its news blows where the country’s unemployment

rate increases until December 2021, showing that 3.16 million were jobless in the

Philippines. Relatively, increase of unemployment leads to suicide, depression,

separation and other factors of anxiety and breaking down due to losing a job. This will

show the data in finding out the alternative way to overcome retrenchment, the

significant difficulties and the matters of providing the needs of the families and people

who constantly relies for financial strain is the major reason of the retrenched

employees along with the challenges and the endurance in overcoming the situation all

throughout two years and a half almost.

Hence, this study will identify the alternative source of income of the selected

retrenched employees of the hotels in the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan to provide

recommendations or potential alternative sources of income for the unemployed people

in the city and bring improvement to their lives, also, the government and other officials

to use this study to conduct a program for their people, especially amid the pandemic.

government to provide more assistance and develop an alternative strategy that would

provide opportunities to the impacted individuals in the tourism and hospitality

industry.

Businessman, the input of the study will also serve as wake-up call for the

businessmen to pursue alternative income generating activities that they could offer to

their employees to be able to retain them and help them survive during the pandemic.

Planners, in charge of policy formulation will benefit from the findings of this study

because they will be aware of the necessity to design appropriate. Policies and plans

directed toward the development of potential or alternative income-generating

activities.

 CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Rapid expansion in modern employment was strong enough to pull workers

away from the informal sectors in such big numbers that in reality employment was

shrinking for the first time in the Philippines. Unemployment rate in the Philippines can

be crucial in both helping the citizen in coping with the stress of job loss as well in

finding a new job. (Lanzona, 2006).

According to National Economic and Development Authority the relationship

between the work and social identity in that individuals’ self-perception is often linked

to their jobs and/or work identities. These statement represent the cognitive and

behavioural attempts to deal with unemployment. (Cesario, 2022)

According to Jorge V. Sibal on Globalization and changes in Work and

Employment Conditions, pandemic had triggered a large reallocation of jobs across

sectors. While job losses have occurred across, the hardest hit sectors on personal

contact such as accommodation, food services, transportation and recreational services.

In contrast, the sectors that recovers quickly and present positive job growth are those

that tend to absorb lower shares of labor such as communications and technology and

several higher- skilled service sectors.

Cited from Mcbride and EisenDP (2020) the outbreak of the Covid – 19

hampered the economic status of one’s sate hugely affecting private sectors companies

particularly those into providing services and transportation due to the unexpected

10
shutdown. The dilemma of jobless growth underlines the impact of globalization in the

Philippine labour market, alongside persistent underemployment, mismatch in skills

and jobs demanded, growth in short term employment and expansion of the informal

sectors. Employers emphasize the need to survive, compete and succeed in global

competition. Companies resort to relentless organizational changes to achieve the best

results.

In Portugal, unemployment often leads to negative life changes so that people

must adopt coping strategies to deal with this stressful event. It is not just an individual

problem; job loss impacts income and involves social and emotional dimensions that

should be addressed by the researchers and policy maker. (Walsh and Gordon, 2020)

According to Chandra (2015), retrenchment causes the person and the family to

perceive negatively with their life due to traumatic effect. This showcases their holistic

development that some of the retrenched employees experienced insignificant weight

loss, anxiety, and restlessness and other associated health issues after experiencing

retrenchment.

Reforms in Philippine labour market policy attempt to fill the gaps by providing

among others public employment service centers to cater the standards of enforcement

framework. According to the Philippine Institute for the Development Studies (Abrigo et

al, 2020) the Philippine may suffer economic losses between 276.3 billion and 2.5

trillion due to the Covid- 19 pandemic. The most affected businesses sectors will be

manufacturing with losses between wholesale and retail and 150 billion given the

11
decline in household consumption. And assuming to control economy in the second half

of 2021.

Department of Tourism (2021) stated that the tourism industry in Puerto

Princesa, Palawan is most affected when the outbreak happened, since the city is known

for its tourist destinations, natural beauty, but the Department of Tourism (2021),

specified that before visiting Palawan's paradise, people should be aware of all key travel

warnings and rules to keep both tourists and locals protected and it is subject to General

Community Quarantine (GCQ) and is therefore not available for tourism.

According to Dessler (1984) as cited by Wandera (2013), Dessler (1984), Crane

and Miner (1995), downsizing is the process of drastically lowering the number of

people currently employed. It happens when organizations strive to make their

workforce more competitive or when a firm significantly lowers the number of its

personnel through mass layoffs, expedited retirements, and other means. The studies of

Chandra (2015) and Jobs.co.za (2021) found the social-economic impact of an

unexpected and involuntary loss of employment retrenchment on workers. It shows that

retrenchment damages one's life and the lives of his or her family, and the consequences

of being retrenched may be catastrophic for a retrenched individual.

Moreover, the “Economic Profile” (2021), indicate that Puerto Princesa is mostly

based on agriculture, notably fishing, tourism, trade, and commerce, with tourism

becoming a significant economic basis, and Emotive (2021), found out that the city

doesn’t want to rely on fishing and agriculture only, that is why they intended to create

an alternative income-generating activity since according to the studies of Wandera

12
(2013), and ILO-OECD (2020), COVID-19 pandemic affects a lot of employees and were

retrenched.

Theoretical Framework

The researchers used theories to deepen the understanding about the study to

further explain the relationship of the variables in terms of economic, social and

personal aspect of the selected retrenched employees in the study.

Economic Theory

Retrenchment in informal sector contributes greater value to the economy.

Workers in the informal sector lack protection, rights, and representation. It is a major

challenge for Philippine unions to organize and provide representation for workers in

the informal sectors such as hotel establishments. There is a need to strengthen the

capacity of the labor inspectorate including occupational safety and health support

services to employees who are subjects of involuntary retrenchment (Maragtas, 2005).

There is no doubt that the economy as a whole is now on the brink of a recession.

Several business industries have taken a much slower pace due to the global pandemic

affecting the flow of supply and employment status of every citizen especially those who

are affected by the retrenchment period (Salonga, 2020).

13
Social and Personal Theory

Retrenchment may sometimes be a necessary part of securing future employment

for large sections of workforce. On personal view, loss of job may affected by many life

events such as financial hardship, health and mental negative reaction. The distress

associated with job loss and financial stress can lead to the development of common

mental health conditions (Rivas, 2020). It shows that it is very important that this

factors that contribute in a sever reaction of retrenchment, there should be a

reinforcement in dealing with some alternatives to surpass the situation of financial

hardship brought by the pandemic.

The potential impact of retrenchment appears to have been recognized in a

number of studies examined the experiences of the victims and survivors of

retrenchment. In the majority, it has been found that the negative experiences in the

case of survivors translate into lowered work attitudes, work performances, increased

job security, feelings of organizational unfairness, distrust and betrayal, depression,

emotional stress, work overload and fatigue, reduced risk taking and social,

psychological and medical consequences of unemployment in the case of the victims

(Bruckner, et al., 2020)
