00:08They were going to be better.
00:12Well, it's better than nothing, but it could have been better.
00:16Objection?
00:17Objection.
00:18They know that the worker will work better if he's paid better.
00:26So, okay naman yung mga employers nyan.
00:30Kasi kung mababang sweldo mo, yung energy mo to work is limited.
00:36Pero kung magandang income mo, maganda rin ang trabaho mo.

00:47they are also aware that in order to motivate your workers,
00:52you have to make them happy.
00:54And what is their source of happiness?
00:56Aside from better treatment,
00:58kailangan din ang better wages.
01:00Well, siguro, ma-realize.
01:02Pwede pa siguro kung mag-push pa yung mga labor groups,
01:04na kung ma-repakan.
01:06Although, sabi ko nga, better than nothing.

01:25I'll have the power to us.
01:26I would do that a little bit.
