00:00 Due to the severe poverty, Cherilyn could not finish her studies.
00:05 And this is her dream to become a teacher.
00:08 She was forced to work at the age of 13.
00:12 And now, she is a single mother.
00:14 She is forced to do any job.
00:17 I am just temporary.
00:20 I am just waiting to get a job if the salary is high.
00:26 I have 6 children and I am the only one who supports them.
00:32 Cherilyn is one of the 5.63 million under-employed Filipinos in August.
00:38 Those who have a job but the income is not enough or the income is not enough.
00:44 According to the data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA,
00:48 the number of unemployed Filipinos in August reached 2.21 million.
00:54 This is lower than 2.68 million in the same month of the previous year.
01:00 The 3.44 million unemployed Filipinos in August also reached 48.07 million.
01:08 According to the National Statistician Dennis Mapa,
01:11 the decline of the employment situation in the country in August
01:15 was seen in the sectors of agriculture, retail trade, and education.
01:20 But the quality of the work still needs to be improved.
01:24 The number of unpaid family workers increased to 1.89 million
01:29 while the number of self-employed Filipinos in August reached 1.85 million.
01:34 According to Mapa, it is possible that the labor force in the country
01:39 will be better than in the remaining months of 2023.
01:41 The seasonal job creation will increase every bare month,
01:44 especially during Christmas.
01:47 The markets and bazaars will start to have seasonal workers.
01:53 There were spikes in participation rate and employment during the last quarter.
01:59 Our household financial consumption expenditure is usually high during the fourth quarter.
02:04 Just like this carnival in Marikina.
02:07 Our employees' salary here is a percent.
02:11 So if the sales of the business is high, their salary is also high.
02:16 According to the National Economic and Development Authority,
02:19 the government's target is to boost the business climate in the country.
02:24 The labor market data, unemployment rate has been quite low.
02:31 So that signals to us that the situation in 2023,
02:39 especially during the bare season, is likely to be much better than the previous three years.
02:45 We are working to ensure that we will go to that target of 2 to 4 percent.
02:50 From 6.1, we need to gradually move there.
