00:00The number of Filipinos who lost their jobs has decreased, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority.

00:07This is a result of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s efforts to increase the number of jobs, especially this holiday season.

00:16This is Joshua Garcia's report.

00:19The situation in the Philippines continues to deteriorate and improve.

00:24This is based on the data of the Philippine Statistics Authority, or PSA, which they estimate for the month of September this year.

00:30According to the PSA, the unemployment rate of the country decreased by 3.7% from 4.5% last year in the same month and 4.0% in August 2024.

00:42This is equivalent to 1.89 million unemployed, which is lower than 2.26 million in September 2023 and 2.07 million in August 2024.

00:54At the same time, the employment rate increased by 96.3% from 95.5% in 2023,

01:01which is equivalent to 49.87 million Filipinos who have jobs this September, which is higher than 47.67 million in 2023 in the same month and 49.15 million in August 2024.

01:15The labor force participation rate also increased by 65.7% compared to 64.1% in September 2023.

01:24According to National Statistician Undersecretary Dennis Mapa,

01:27this is equivalent to the increase in the number of unemployed workers this holiday season, despite the calamities experienced in the past few months.

01:34Yes, of course. Because of the holiday season, more wants to work. That's why our employment rate increased in terms of both the rate and the numbers.

01:44But not all of them absorbed us full-time. Thus, you have also a substantial increase in the underemployment.

01:53Mapa is asking if there is an effect of the typhoon on the employment rate.

01:57It really has an impact. Normally, the storm we see has an effect on the agriculture.

02:02Remember, our agricultural sector accounts for almost 20% of our workers.

02:07Even so, they are still positive about this improvement because of the entry of skilled workers in Vermont,

02:13particularly in retail, accommodation, supermarkets, which receives seasonal workers.

02:18Meanwhile, according to National Economic Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisacan,

02:22the government's priority is to improve the quality and better income of Filipino workers.

02:27In addition, their implementation of Supply and Demand Side Interventions to meet the Quality Employment Targets

02:34included in their Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028.

02:39According to PASANEDA and Department of Labor and Employment, or DOLE,

02:42their projects and programs continue.

02:44This program is brought to you by the Philippine private sector,

02:46particularly in the pursuit of more quality jobs and capacity building for Filipino workers.
