RIGHTS OF THE WORKING PEOPLE. Socioeconomic backwardness and the chronic crisis results in the systematic violation of the rights of the working people and the gross neglect by the state of their welfare. Neoliberal policies of liberalization, privatization, and deregulation have exacerbated these. The Filipino people contribute the most to the economy but suffer the worst from it and the majority are deeply impoverished. The semifeudal and semicolonial economy does not create enough jobs and livelihoods for the people. Tens of millions of Filipinos face massive unemployment, scrape an erratic living as semi-workers in the cities or the countryside, or are driven over- seas into difficult circumstances. Those able to find employment grapple with meager wages, scant benefits, contractualization, oppressive work conditions, and violations of their democratic and basic labor rights such as to organize and strike. Peasants, farm workers and fisherfolk are denied land and other rural assets which forces them to sell their labor and produce at exploitative prices. Yet they are constrained to buy overpriced goods and are captive to usurers. Foreign and domestic elites plun- der natural resources in the communities of national minorities. Neoliberalism has worsened the state’s neglect of the respon- sibility to ensure that all Filipinos have the basic social services and public utilities needed for minimum standards of decent liv- ing. Commercialized education, health and housing is increasingly unaffordable for the majority. Privatized electricity, water and transport are more and more expensive aside from inaccessible for those in poor hence unprofitable rural and urban communities. Women are discriminated against and in worse socioeconomic circumstances than men, aside from carrying the additional burden of reproductive tasks and attending to household needs. Children and elderly from the working people are denied the special protec- tion, welfare and care they need. The state does not give sufficient attention to the working people who are most vulnerable to and affected by disasters.
