Senate aspirant Teodoro “Teddy” Baguilat Jr. expressed his all-out support for the covenant between the Alliance of Labor Leaders for Leni (ALL4Leni) and Vice President Leni Robredo.
“The covenant calls for actions that I have backed throughout my many years in public service, especially during my tenure as Congressman,” Baguilat said.
ALL4LENI leaders and Vice President Robredo signed the covenant on November 29, the eve of Bonifacio Day.
Baguilat stressed that he has consistently advocated for reasonable wages and expanded social protection for workers, as exemplified by his championing of such measures as the Expanded Maternity Leave Act and legislative proposals like various magna carta for specialized labor sectors.
“I especially support the covenant’s call to promote green and climate jobs, especially now that the whole world is in the eleventh hour of a climate disaster,” Baguilat added.
Baguilat emphasized that the country needs to wean itself away from a fossil fuel-driven economy and shift to clean energy options, while abandoning polluting and wasteful consumer practices.
“This shift entails the creation of green jobs and the development of new technologies and materials. We need to train and prepare our workforce for the challenges of the green economy so we can ensure that everyone contributes to arresting climate change and no one is left behind,” Baguilat explained.
“I look forward to making the aspirations in the covenant a reality through laws that will be closely consulted with stakeholders,” Baguilat said.
Baguilat is running for the Senate in the 2022 elections under the unified ticket of Vice President Leni Robredo. He aims to bring to the Senate the platform of indigenous peoples and the indigenous mindset which nurtures and promotes rights, culture and the environment. #
