The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines -Nagkaisa (TUCP-Nagkaisa) has called on the national government to draw up contingency plans for about 800,000 to one million agriculture sector workers who stand to lose their jobs within the next six months of an intensified El Niño dry spell.

The largest labor group in the country said the workers should be included in the livelihood and assistance programs of the government and in the mitigation plans being drawn by various national and local government offices.

Our field and farm workers would be the one that must become very affected in the said phenomenon. It’s really hard for them to find ways to sustain their living. The solution there is that, the government must help them to give budget to sustain their life while the drying season is ongoing. The government must give focus to those workers because they contribute much for our country.
