Workaholic Day

 Every year on May 1, Filipinos nationwide celebrate Labor Day to honor their commitment to hard work. 'Araw ng mga Manggagawa' is how it is referred to in Filipino. In the Philippines, people unwind and spend the day with their loved ones. Labor movements and parades are components of the festivities in Malacanang (the former American Governor's mansion, now the Presidential palace), as well as in significant cities like Manila. Their complaints, which include the minimum wage, cruel working conditions, and other problems that impair employee rights, are brought to light by these activities. On this day, every diligent Filipino is honored, regardless of their line of work.

It provides a moment to reflect on the battle-won rights of employees. Unions use Labor Day as an opportunity to draw attention to current problems impacting workers. In 1886, American unions were successful in their demand for an eight-hour workdayLabor Day as an opportunity to draw attention to current problems impacting workers. In 1886, American unions were successful in their demand for an eight-hour workday. Workers in the Philippines, a colony of the United States, organized a march near the home of the American Governor-General to demand more equitable working conditions. The first Labor Day in the nation is recognized as occurring on this day. However, eight-hour days and other workers' rights weren't made available to the public until after 1913.

Labor Day in the Philippines has many of the same values as other Labor Day festivities throughout the world. Many unions frequently stage protests at Malacaang (the former American Governor's residence, now the Presidential Palace) and major cities such as Manila to draw attention to their grievances. The government is still being challenged on issues such as raising the minimum wage and terrible working conditions.
