President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has created a presidential body, as recommended by an ILO fact-finding mission that visited the country in January, to address the spate of killings and harassment of trade unionists during the Duterte administration.
“We can’t have the solution tomorrow or next week. These are issues for the past 15 years that have been there when we assumed office. We will not point fingers at who is at fault but we will look into that,” he said.
“A single presidentially mandated body should be established and empowered to comprehensively identify and address through a specified plan of action, including time frames, resources and accountability, all outstanding cases of alleged labor-related extrajudicial killings and abductions,” the ILO mission said in its report.
“The roadmap shall be subject to regular review and should consider the consolidated reports and recommendations from the concerned agencies and inputs from other relevant stakeholders,” the EO said.In February last year, the ILO released its report on the state of labor standards in various countries, with its committee of experts on the application of conventions and recommendations urging the Philippines to investigate and punish those behind the attacks on unionists.
