Apostolic Administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo and retired Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes issued the appeal in time for the Labor Day celebration on Saturday, May 1.
“The appeal is to give subsidies to workers who have lost their jobs due to the lock downs,” Pabillo, head of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on the Laity, said in an interview.
“My special appeal to the government on Labor Day is to consider the plight of so many people deprived of work because of the pandemic. Perhaps the government should subsidize the households of laid-off workers with monthly allocation of some amount of cash and goods such as rice and other food stuffs,” said Bastes.
