Former Senator Panfilo Lacson says the proposed paid menstrual leave will only put women's jobs at risk, arguing that some companies may not have the budget for it.
“Instead of benefiting the female workforce in general, it may have a negative effect on the economic and political stability of the country,” Lascon said. “It is good to be perceived as pro-labor, especially among the 49% women population, but we should also take into consideration the long-term effect on the country’s investment climate in particular and the economy in general."filed by Gabriela Women’s party-list Rep.
But for Lacson, paid menstrual leaves may just lead to layoffs, the closing of some factories, and discourage long-term investments by prospective employers. On Saturday, Lacson posted on his social media account that the next legislative measure may soon propose to mandate “menopause and andropause allowances to increase the testosterone levels of workers.”
