Senator Raffy Tulfo has raised alarm over the continued "5-5-5" scheme, which practices firing and re-hiring employees to prevent them from being regularized.
During Wednesday's Senate Committee on Labor, Employment and Human Resources Development hearing, Tulfo called on the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to take stronger action against such illegal practice that he said is being used by employers to evade employee regularization and deny them benefits and job security.

00:00Let's talk about 5-5-5. You know that? You're 5-5-5?
00:05So, mag-hire sila ng empleyado, at dapat imbis na six months,
00:12kasi pag six months, magkakaroon ng benefits.
00:14Pagdating ng five months, sisibakhin, and then i-rehire,
00:20then another five months.
00:23And then after that, sisibakhin ulit, and then i-rehire.
00:26That has been a practice of so many, especially sa service industry.
00:34Are you aware of this? Are you doing anything about this?
00:37Especially sa manufacturing ganun din.
00:41Sa mga fast food, example, Jollibee.
00:47Ginago ayan.
00:50What are you doing about it, sir?
00:53Maraming salamat po.
00:54Una sa lahat, Senator, kami nagpapasalamat dito sa committee ninyo,
00:59at makasama kami dito sa mahalagang usapin ng security of tenure.
01:06Iyon pong 5-5-5 ay hindi dapat nangyayari yun.
01:13Nandoon na po sa...
01:14Kung hindi na dapat nangyayari, bakit nangyayari?
01:17Why are you allowing it to happen?
01:19There are already rules that are in place that prohibit yung practices na yun.
01:29Pero kung nangyayari po ay ang unang intervention po ng Department of Labor and Employment,
01:36kung nandoon pa po sila, ay inspection.
01:40Pwede pong makita yun sa inspection.
01:43Pangalawa po, kung wala na po sila doon, pwede po silang tumakbo sa aming SENA,
01:50yung Single Entry Approach, para naman makapagsilbi kami sa kanila through conciliation and mediation po.
01:57At kung wala pong settlement doon, ay pwede po silang maghabla dito po sa National Labor Relations Commission.
02:07Easily said than done, ika nga.
02:09Kasi I did my inspections last year.
02:13Nag-ikot po ako sa maraming mga malalaking manufacturing company.
02:17And the video will show to you what happened after my visit, during my visit,
02:23and even before my visit.
02:26Ang problema kasi sa inyo, Tagadole, hindi ka nag-inspect.
02:31Kung mag-inspect man kayo, nakatakip yung mata nyo.
02:37Sinasabi ko na ito ilang beses, paglabas ng compound, may bitbit ng envelope.
02:43Yun yun eh.
02:44At ang nangyari, ang kinakausap nyo lang sa inyong inspection, yung HR,
02:48I'm not talking to you, Yusek.
02:50Yusek, look at me please.
02:52Please look at me.
02:53Don't look at her.
02:54Ang ginagawa nyo kasi, when you get into that company, when you're there,
03:03hindi po kayo ha, I mean your people.
03:06Ang kinakausap nyo, HR, you talk to the management.
03:11Why not talk to the workers instead?
03:14Close door.
03:15Tawagin nyo mga workers, ano mga problema nyo rito?
03:18Huwag kayo mag-alala.
03:19Lahat sila.
03:20Isa-isa magsasabi sa inyo kung ano yung problema.
03:22Go to the mismong lugar na pinagtatabuhan nila.
03:26Walang electric fan, walang exhaust fan, madulas, wala silang proper working gear,
03:33nakachinelas lang as opposed to dapat nakasapatos.
03:35Those things na nanotice ko.
03:37And ang masakit sir, nung ako'y mag-inspeksyon,
03:40malaman lamang ko na yung Dole Inspector was just there a month ago.
03:46Na hindi nakita yung nakita ako a month ago.
03:51So, yun yung sari, na mag-inspect man yung mga tao ninyo,
03:57hindi ko alam kung sila ba ay nakapiling talagang mata, literally,
04:01or sinasadyang magmaang-maangan.
04:03Kaya nga sabi ko kanina, when you do your inspections,
04:07talk to the workers.
04:09Kasi siyempre, the management will always lie.
04:12Of course, they have two sets of documents.
04:14Ito yung dokumento na ipapakita sa Dole na everything is okay.
04:20Pero the real document, doon may kita mo yung mga kakulangan nila,
04:25pangaapi nila sa mga magagawa.
04:26You're not doing that, right?
04:28Sa mga inspectors, no?
04:30This is what I need you to do, sir.
04:35Dapat, lahat ng inspekto ninyo,
04:38imbistigahan ninyo.
04:41Quality, not quantity.
04:44Na siguraduhin, dapat merong evaluation, assessment,
04:49yung mga labor inspekto ninyo.
04:54Na ibang pinupuntahan nila,
04:56merong kayang gumagawa ng counter follow-up
04:59or counter check
05:00na kung talagang ginawa niya ng tama.
05:02Only then, may kita nyo na marami talagang violations
05:05na napakarami ng company.
05:06Of course, I don't have anything against companies.
05:11Siyempre, gusto ko rin marami mga kumpanya
05:14dahil yan ang driver na economy natin.
05:18Pero dapat magnegosyo lang tama.
05:20So, what kind of programs do you have right now in place
05:25to ensure that all your labor inspectors
05:29that goes to the company,
05:32so whatever company that is,
05:35or especially if it's being complained,
05:37what kind of programs do you have to ensure
05:39na maayos na yung gagawin inspeksyon
05:41at wala na ang wishy-washy?
05:44Tama po kayo dun sa binanggit nyo na kailangan may follow-up.
05:48At yung follow-up inspection po,
05:52ginagawa na po namin.
05:54At yun po siguro ang papalakasin pa na namin.
05:58Ibig sabihin po niyan,
06:00ay po pwedeng i-double check ng ibang inspector
06:03yung establishment na na-inspect na po.
06:07Whether or not may findings o wala.
06:09And then gusto ko po sir mag-sample kayo.
06:12Really, I'm dead serious.
06:15I want a dolly inspector
06:20na hindi ginawa ng tama ang kanyang trabaho
06:22o nakipagsabwatan sa mga kumpanya
06:25na maraming violations.
06:27Gusto ko masampulan nyo.
06:28It's either siya ay nasibak o nakasuhan.
06:31Only then titino ang ilan sa mga inspektors.
06:33Sa ngayon, wala na sa sampulan.
06:34Galing na mismo sa iyo.
06:36Diba?
06:37Gawa silang gawa ng kalukuan
06:38because hindi silang nakatanggap ng parusa.
06:42Pero kung meron ka mga naparusahan dyan,
06:44tatanim sa isip ng mga kasamahan na
06:46uy, baka ako masunod.
06:47Ayusin ko ng trabaho ko.
06:50So umbisa nyo na po mag-imbestiga
06:52at yung mga tamad o nagikipagsabwatan
06:55sa mga kumpanya
06:58na maraming labor violations.
07:00Kasuhan nyo, sibaki nyo.
07:02And then give it to me,
07:03ipapublish natin
07:05para mapahiya sila
07:07at magkakaroon na ng fear
07:11among their colleagues
07:13to do what
07:16yung mga ginawa ng mga kasamahan nila.
07:18Okay, sir?
07:19Gagawin po namin.
07:21Okay.
07:21Okay.
07:34You
