In particular, Villanueva said he wants to find out the outcome of the Security of Tenure bill, or popularly known as the “End Endo” bill which seeks end the practice of illegal labor contracting. ADVERTISEMENTPresident Rodrigo Duterte asked Congress to pass the bill at last year’s Sona, certifying the measure as urgent. “Thus, the Security of Tenure bill manages to strike a balance between contrasting interests of labor and employers,” he added. Villanueva, who chairs the Senate committee on labor, employment, and human resource, expressed hope that Duterte would sign the measure into law. He also expects the President to tackle other measures that will advocate for the interest of Filipino labor.
