Kurtina sa Bintana

Dear insansapinas,
Kahit anong ganda ang kurtinang isasabit sa bintana, kung ang bahay naman ay unti-unting gumuguho, wala ring kwenta. Mahiwaga ba?  Kunwari naman mahiwaga. Nahihiwagaan kasi ako sa mga numbers ngayon.

Good news, bad news. Good news Balita ay tumaas ang bilang ng mga nagkaroon ng trabaho sa Pilipinas ng halos doble.. Aleluya,

MANILA, Philippines—Unemployment in the Philippines hit a four-year low of 6.4 percent in October, the government said Thursday.
Bad news:
However, concerns remained as the number of unpaid workers grew.

 

Sabi nga ng mga experts:

“It is not enough that unemployment decreased. The real concern is whether quality employment improved. It’s also a cause of concern that the number of unpaid family workers actually increased. This will not help efforts to lessen poverty,” Rene E. Ofreneo of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations said in a phone interview.
Benjamin E. Diokno of the UP School of Economics said in an e-mail that two million new jobs were created in October 2011 as unemployment fell from 7.1 to 6.4 percent and underemployment improved to 19.1 percent from 19.6 percent. However, 500,000 of these new jobs were in the nature of unpaid work in family-owned businesses.
“More bad news: Average hours worked declined, as the number of part-time workers soared. Those who worked for less than 20 hours per week rose by 1.5 million, those who worked more than 40 hours rose by half a million,” Diokno said.
Says me who is not an expert:
Matagal na yang mga family members na nagtatrabaho sa kanikanilang negosyo at di nirereport na mga trabahador. Kahit nga yong nasa farm, buong pamilya nagtatrabaho lalo pag taniman at harvest time. Pag isinali mo nga naman yan, dadami ang number of employed.
Dahil October nakita ang pagtataas--hindi ba nila alam na pag October naghahire ng mga temporary employees para sa dating na Pasko. Kahit dito sa States, ganon din.  Tapos pag January, inaalis din. 

Kaya nga kahit na lace pa ang kurtinang isabit para decoration sa bahay o itago ang mga ayaw makita, kung ang loob ng bahay ay walang laman, wala rin.
