No voting power (for one GA). 160 Ortiz: Member/s on a probation is/are voided from commenting/sharing insights or ideas. 161 Chairperson Hona: No voting power is enough.

257 STRAW COMMITTEE 258 259

1.) Councilor de ramos: Wala pa akong gaanong idea sa komiteng ito. 260 Chair Hona: Ang bias mo ay dapat sa estudyante. Mga concern ng estudyante. 261

Councilor Alberto: read the drafted CVM SC statement. 90% ng workers ay contractual at bawal sila 299

gumawa ng asosasyon. 5 days force leave at sapilitang pagpapapirma. Sahod ay base sa two tiered wage 300

system Sahod, safety, bawal ang asosasyon, 301

Chair Hona: First time in history na magka asosasyon ang mga kontraktwal. 302

Councilor Obia: Dating 15 hours nagging 8-10 hours mga napagtagumpayan . 303

Councilor Alberto: Discussed the amount needed to survive per day. 304

Chair Hona: May comment si Jewel. 305

Councilor Obina: Idagdag ang pandarahas 306

Councilor Ortiz: Madaming nasaktan? 307

Councilor Alberto: Madami, at marami ding goons. 308

Councilor Alberto: Walang ginawa ang pulis at local government. 309

Chair Hona reads on the 1st comment of Councilor Macalos on the statement drafted by the Education 310

and Research Committee Head (Councilor Alberto): 311

Statement: "It is clear that they (DOLE, etc) are on the side of the two illegal 312 recruitment agencies..." 313

Comment: We need to establish a balance, objectivity. Good leaders weigh things 314 and don't make baseless assumptions. Did we get the statement/stand of the government 315 agencies? They may seem deaf but as student leaders we have to remain open minded and 316 try understand both sides. 317

318

Councilor de Ramos: Wala tayong direct involvement. Kailangan malaman ang both sides (company, 319

DOLE, workers). May company kami dati at nabuwag dahil sa protesta. Mas effective ang contractual 320

workers dahil mababa ang satisfaction rate ng mga Filipino. Bakit contractual workers, bakit may 321

regular? 322

Councilor Ortiz: Ang foul play ay may dahas. 323

Councilor Tronco: Mas i-prioritize ang HRV issue 324

Councilor Alberto: DOLE ang may pinaburan. May mga dialogues na nangyari dahil mismong agency ang 325

pabago bago. 326

Chair Hona: LOC o Labor Only Contracting Policy. Kontra sa batas na employee. Nasa batas kasi na dapat 327

maging regular ang isang manggagawa pagka lumagpas na sa anim (6) na buwan itong nagtratrabaho sa 328

kumpanya. 329

Councilor de Ramos: Paanong mas bias ang DOLE? 330

Councilor Alberto: Walang ginawa ang DOLE, kaya hanggang ngayon patuloy pa din yung welga ng mga 331

Tanduay worker. 332

Chair Hona: 3 dialogues ang ginanap na. Pero wala pa ding aksyon ang DoLE para dito, tikom sila sa 333

issue. Nauuwi lagi sa wala ang mga dialogue dahil madalas ay tauhan lang ng mga ahensya ang 334

ipinapadala nila, at hindi mula sa Tanduay. 335

Councilor Alberto: Human Rights Violation ang pagtutol sa pagbuo ng organisasyon, o ng unyon sa loob 336

ng isang kumpanya. 337

Councilor Ortiz: HRV at dahas na hindi naman dapat. Playsafe si Lucio Tan at gumamit sya ng dahas. 338

Councilor Obina: nakalagay ito sa constitution at batas paggawa. 339

Councilor Alberto: Php 51 billion na di binabayaran sa BIR, na kung tutuusin dapat at nagbabayad din ng 340

buwis si Lucio Tan. Resulta din ito ng special treatment sa mga banyaga at business tycoons dito sa tin. 341

Councilor Ortiz: Baka galamay nya. 342

Chair Hona reads on the 2nd comment of Councilor Macalos on the statement drafted by the Education 343

and Research Committee Head (Councilor Alberto): 344

Statement: "DOLE remains dumb..." 345

Comment: Dumb is not becoming of student leaders. We have to set a standard 346 of professionalism as early as now if we are to become the leaders of the 347 country. Please change the term into a more decent one and non-derogatory 348 term. 349

350

Chair: Lets use the word silent then. 351

Chair Hona reads on the 3rd comment of Councilor Macalos on the statement drafted by the Education 352

and Research Committee Head (Councilor Alberto): 353

Statement: "Two-tiered system" 354

Comment: Please explain what the system is to the body before we release a 355 statement against it showing a unified stand of the council. 356

357

Councilor Alberto further explained Two-Tiered Wage System that this is brought about by the Two-358 Tiered Wage System, a scheme that was first implemented under Aquino administration wherein the 359 wage of worker is divided into two the floor wage and the productivity wage. This wage system is not 360 applicable to the Philippine labor situation, since the productivity wage, which will be given by the 361 employer, could be subject to unjust situation such as low level of productivity and technology of the 362 country and subjective control of employers. 363

364

Councilor de Ramos: In favor ako dahil tamad ang state ng Filipino workers. Nakabase dapat ang sweldo 365

sa kasipagan, kaya siguro inimplement ang Two Tiered Wage System. 366

Councilor Mariano: In favor ako. 367

Councilor de Ramos: Improvement na ang 200. Whole different issue ang two tiered sa issue ng 368

Tanduay. 369

Councilor Alberto: Hindi hiwalay na issue. Right ang organisasyon. Hindi ito kawalan kay Lucio Tan. Hindi 370

tumaas ang sweldo (data from Ibon Foundation). 371

Chair Hona: Mas nagsisikap ang kontraktwal kesa sa regular. Base sa mga kwento ng mga kontrwaktwal 372

na manggagawa, minamanipula di umano ng kumpanya ang records ng performance nila. Ang nangyari, 373

ang regular workers ang gumagawa kahit pa ang contractual workers ang talagang nagawa. 374

Councilor de Ramos: Ilagay kung bakit, pero wag yung stand. No to contractualization, pag nag graduate 375

tayo ayaw mo naman agad ng permanent. 376

Chair Hona: Blue collared jobs ay dahil sa contractualization. Objective condition ay tanggalin ang 377

contractualization. 378

Chair Hona: In general ay sobra-sobrang Human Rights Violations ang ginawa at patuloy na ginagawa ni 379

Lucio Tan. 380

Councilor Alberto: Yung sa No to union busting. Yun din kasi talaga yung pinaka-issue sa mga 381

manggagawa. 382

Councilor de Ramos: 2nd paragraph, leaning on side. Formality. Blind and deaf more of did not appeal to. 383

Subjective, explain pa. 384

385

Chair Hona reads on the 4th comment of Councilor Macalos on the statement drafted by the Education 386

and Research Committee Head (Councilor Alberto): 387

Statement: "Working conditions of the country..." 388

Comment: Let us draw from reviewed literature and statistics to support such 389

claims of worsened working conditions 390

391

Chair Hona: Supporting details pa sana para mas malakas ang claim ng statement. At tsaka mas 392

maganda kung mayroong mga ipapakitang figures or statistics sabi nga ni Jewel (Councilor Macalos). 393

Councilor Mel: Bahala na ang USC siguro sa unity statement, mas maganda na maglabas din tayo ng 394

statement natin para may say din tayo sa issue. 395

Chair Hona reads on the 5th comment of Councilor Macalos on the statement drafted by the Education 396

and Research Committee Head (Councilor Alberto): 397

Other comments: Who are the other councils that have joined in the same call? 398

We cannot generalize all the councils because each one is an autonomous unit. 399

Let us specify which councils are part and have them sign to show that they 400

support the same thing. 401

Yes, we may be against such conditions, but don't we have any action that 402

would seek to have a dialogue with key people from parties concerned? The 403

situation seems to be out of hand but leaders find ways to achieve win-win 404

situations through a well-mannered dialogue/discussion. We cannot be 405

constantly opposed to norms and not open to exhausting diplomatic means of 406

achieving an outcome that can be well for all parties involved. We cannot shut 407

our minds as is if what we know is the only solution. Being student leaders 408

means that we have to be role models to students on how we deal with such 409

situations. 410

411

Councilor de Ramos: Autonomous tayo. Let them make them make their own statement. 412

Chair Hona: Base sa napag-usapan sa ASCA (All Student Councils Assembly), gagwa ng unity statement 413

ang USC at CSCs. Nagpaabot pala ng pag-cocosign ang CHE Student Council sa gagawin nating statement. 414

Councilor de Ramos: How would it affect the students of the veterinary medicine. Ano bang objective? 415

Chair Hona: Lider estudyante ay pang inform. To serve the people, pang labas na issue. To break barriers 416

in the real world and from the student. This is to enlighten the people of the basic human rights for we 417

are ought to know the basic human rights that we are all supposed to have. 418

419

Councilor Alberto: May due process dahil nagpa register naman na sila sa DOLE nung March pa. 420

Councilor de Ramos: OK lang sa akin,but we need to be critical sa ano ba talagang sinasabi natin. 2 is 421

upon releasing this statement, how would this affect us. Paano kung ibang company? It can affect our 422

employment. Ano bang actions natin dito? 423

Councilor Obina: Collective action ito. 424

Chair Hona: Dito na tayo magkakaroon ng campaigns na dadalhin ng council, alam natin ang problema at 425

ang solution. So whats next next? 426

De Ramos: Meron ba tayong gagawin? Agree ba ang council na gagawa din tayo ng action at the same 427

time. Ano yun, hanggang stament lang tayo? 428

Chair Hona: Tama yung sinabi ni Adrian (Councilor de Ramos), at commendable yun. Di tayo dapat 429

natatapos sa pagaabas lang ng statement. Di ningas kugon, di lang parliamentary. 430

Councilor de Ramos: Dapat agree lahat lalo na sa after part. 431

Chair Hona: Di naman ako nagkulang sa pag iinform. Kailangan consensus pero objective naman na ito. 432

We have the privilege to stand up. What is the say of the body? 433

Councilor de Ramos: Dapat panindigan natin to 434

Obina: Payag ako. 435

Councilor Mariano: Nagmamatter yung opinion nung iba. I upload at ipaba sinabi sa sa iba. Critical. Mag 436

ingat sa sasabihin at sa statement. 437

Trongco: OK sa akin. Pang inform. 438

Alberto: dispensa, first time ko to gumawa. I coconsider ko naman yung mga sin stabi nyo. Kung kayang 439

mas maaga. Kailangan maglabas ng statment at konseho tayo. Iinform ang students at ipakilos sila. Wag 440

isipin ang pansariling interest. 441

Councilor Obina: Magbotohan na lang. 442

3 voted for YES, and 2 voted for NO 443

Councilor de Ramos: Sana mas mag-focus tayo sa kung anong sector ang dapat pag uusapan. 444

Agriculture, veterinary concern. Yun kasi yung nabanggit din natin sa GPOA natin nung tumatakbo pa 445

lang tayo. 446

IT WAS DECIDED BY THE MAJORITY OF THE BODY TO RELEASE THE STATEMENT AS A SUPPORT FOR 447

THE CONTRACTUAL WORKERS OF TANDUAY WHO ARE ON STRIKE. 448

Other Matters 449

Chair Hona: OM, earist student na nagpakamatay. Tuition fee increase ang issue. Kristel Tejada, Rosanna 450

sanfuego. Kailangan din nating gumawa ng stand at statement para dito. Kausapin ko na din si Mel 451

(Councilor Mariano, StRAW Committee Head-elect) para dito. 452
