MANILA – A lawmaker on Tuesday stressed the need for Congress to swiftly act on education reforms that would effectively address the jobs-skills mismatch and support enterprise-based education to ensure that Filipino graduates are work ready.

In a statement, Davao City (1st District) Rep. Paolo Duterte noted that Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) president Benedicta Du-Baladad has expressed alarm over the current education crisis in the country and has urged the government to transform the education system to allow it to better adapt to a “changed workplace in a technology-driven world.”

FIRST District Rep. Paolo Duterte underscored the need for Congress to do its part in making Filipino graduates “employment-ready.”

He said lawmakers must act swiftly on proposed education reforms that would effectively address the jobs-skills mismatch in the country and bolster enterprise-based education.

Filipino graduates must be "employment-ready” when they step out of school as far as Davao City 1st district Rep. Paolo Duterte is concerned.

“Millions of students that will graduate or have recently graduated from senior high school or college will either get a job that suits their skills or one where they are overqualified or underqualified. But many will still find themselves jobless because their skills are not commensurate to the demands in the job market,” Rep. Duterte said in a statement.

MANILA, Philippines — Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte urges the House of Representatives to pass bills aimed at improving the education system, especially now that the K-12 system has been getting flak for allegedly not helping its graduates get good jobs.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Duterte said the House should act on three bills — House Bill Nos. 8069, 7400, and 7370 — to avoid wasted opportunities for graduating students.

Binigyan-diin ni Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte ang mahalagang papel ng Kongreso para matiyak na handa ang mga graduate sa pagpasok ng trabaho at matugunan ang job-skills mismatch sa bansa.

Ayon kay Duterte, maraming graduate ang walang trabaho dahil hindi angkop ang kanilang kakayanan sa kailangan ng mga employer.

NAGHAIN ng panukalang batas sa mababang kapulungan ng Kongreso na pupuntirya sa mga abusadong kolektor ng online lending apps o OLA
Base sa “Fair Debt Connection Practices Act” na nakapaloob sa House Bill (HB) 6681 na inakda ni Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte, sinabi nito na kailangang tapusin na ang pagiging abusado ng mga debt collector at pagsasamantala ng mga OLA.

“More victims have continued to come out to report being harassed, shamed, threatened, and forced to pay usurious interest charges. Both the Executive and Congress need to act fast to put an end to these inhumane debt collection practices,” ayon sa mambabatas.

Isang nakakabahalang pangyayari ang patuloy na pagdami ng bilang ng mga batang napipilitang tumigil na mag-aral para makapagtrabaho. Sa kanilang murang edad, sila ay nasasabak sa mga gawaing hindi naman dapat trabaho ng mga bata.

Marami sa mga magulang ng child laborer ay hindi gusto ang kalagayang ito para sa kanilang anak.

DAVAO CITY Rep. Paolo Duterte on Monday urged Congress to immediately pass a bill that would regulate the online lending industry and expressly prohibit unfair, deceptive and shameful debt collection practices.

Duterte said House Bill (HB) 6681 would protect financial borrowers from public shaming, extortionate interest charges and other "vicious" online lending practices.

LAWMAKERS have underscored the urgency of passing a law to shield borrowers from public shaming, extortionate interest charges and other vicious online lending practices despite a supposed government crackdown against abusive moneylenders.

Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Z. Duterte seeks bills seeking to regulate the online lending sector when Congress resumes session in two weeks’ time. Duterte said prioritizing the discussion of these bills would speed up the passage of a law that would expressly prohibit the unfair, deceptive, and shameful practices resorted to by online loan sharks.
