Estrada noted the dangers of physical and mental strain of overworked people which also reduces work performance and results in productivity loss due to illness or occupational injuries. β€œMr. President, this measure was put forward to ensure that workersβ€”especially those who work behind the camera and work tirelessly even beyond normal working hoursβ€”are provided opportunities for gainful employment and decent incomes, and are protected from abuse, extended working hours, harassment, hazardous working conditions, and economic exploitation,” Estrada said Tuesday, December 05, 2023.
