00:48.7
We come here today with a focused sentiment
00:52.4
We acknowledge the interrelated roles that each critical sector in the industry assumes
00:58.6
The ultimate objective is neither personal nor selfish
01:03.0
as we stand to maximize artists' productivity and overall welfare of the workers across the board
01:09.8
That way, from a social and economic standpoint
01:13.7
lahat po ng mga industry participants including workers, artists and employer producers
01:19.8
stand to gain much to the satisfaction
01:22.4
of our nation as a whole
01:23.8
Mga kasamahan po, as co-creators in the art of storytelling
01:28.7
we passionately reiterate our call for the implementation of effective
01:34.1
and responsive labor laws and regulations
01:37.3
Ito pa ang mga measures nito are essential to ensure not only optimal performance
01:42.9
but also to safeguard the physical and mental well-being of our dedicated workforce
01:49.0
The timely laws we endorse and compass
01:52.4
include contractual reliability, rationalized wages and benefits, work hazard prevention,
01:59.5
thoughtful consideration of the work environment and reasonable limitations sa working hours
02:05.1
We have submitted po our detailed position paper
02:07.5
but please allow me to run down the salient points for the purpose of the discussion
02:12.6
Una po, regarding working hours and rest period, we stand united in advocating for the regulated working hours,
02:22.3
supporting an 8-12 hour work period exclusive of pill breaks
02:28.3
and a maximum allowable working day of 16 hours
02:32.9
This aligns with the Inter-Guild Alliances proposal and excludes minors and seniors who must adhere to specific limitations
02:41.9
Pangalawa po, on rest periods, we concur with the proposed 10-12 hour rest period
02:48.1
with a minimum of 10 hours for lock-in shoots
02:50.9
as determined by the Tripod report.
02:52.1

Pangalawa po, on rest periods, we concur with the proposed 10-12 hour rest period with a minimum of 10 hours for lock-in shoots as determined by the Tripod report.
02:54.3
Thirdly, we are thankful for the strengthened inclusion of the OSH or Occupational Safety Health requirements
03:01.3
and the need for OSH officers on set ensuring a healthy working environment
03:07.3
And fourthly, ACTOR places a strong emphasis on mitigating sexual harassment within our industry
03:14.3
by formalizing measures in contracts to respect actors' boundaries
03:19.3
This includes the establishment of
03:22.1
intimacy coordinators,
03:24.1
strict reporting mechanisms,
03:26.1
and clear contractual language.
03:28.1
We also propose the creation of an easily accessible help desk
03:33.1
to assist industry workers in addressing such issues
03:36.1
and support the inclusion of a PINAR provision to enhance accountability.
03:41.1
And lastly po, we champion performers' rights to fair remuneration
03:46.1
and we fully support the establishment of a tripartite council
03:50.1
as outlined in the existing bill.
03:51.9
This council, we believe, is pivotal in fostering collaboration
03:55.9
and ensuring the overall well-being of workers in the industry.
03:59.9
It also provides a platform for industry stakeholders, including workers, producers,
04:04.9
and even government representatives to collectively address the peculiar,
04:09.9
the very peculiar safety concerns, labor conditions, and industry standards.
04:14.9
Together, we can strengthen our industry, ensuring it thrives habang pinaprioritize natin ang well-being of workers.
04:19.9
Habang pinaprioritize natin ang welfare of all those who contribute to its success.
04:25.9
Bilang pong worker-artist, wholeheartedly po united po kami in the goal to raise the quality of our industry even further, Mr. Chair.
04:34.9
However, we need to start by lifting each other up because we believe that we all share a common destination.
04:40.9
And with the success of the entertainment industry in mind po,
04:43.9
we highlight the value of establishing the right standards and safeguards to govern it.
04:48.9
And by that, we expect the delivery of captivating performances that breathe life into the stories we tell.
04:55.9
Because in the long run po, we can also expect sustainability and growth in the industry that makes ours truly world-class.
05:03.9
Kaya bang panghuli, it is our hope for us to strike a harmonious balance between creative output and the well-being of all the performers
05:13.9
for the growth and success of the industry and our nation's awareness.
05:17.9
Aktor po and all our stakeholders are very grateful, Mr. Chair, Mr. Senator,
05:23.9
and honored for the opportunity to be heard in the process of developing these bills.
05:28.9
We pledge our commitment and assistance in seeing that these bills are enacted into the Eddie Garcia Law.
05:36.9
The Eddie Garcia Law would not just ensure safety in the workplace,
05:39.9
but confer to all workers in front and behind the cameras a dignity fitting to the industry we serve,
05:46.9
the industry where Eddie Garcia spent most of his life.
05:50.9
Maraming salamat po.
05:52.9
Thank you, Mr. Dingdong Dantes.
05:58.9
Pandagdag lang po.
06:00.9
Since we are in the creative industry, sa totoo lang po yung mga performers,
06:06.9
mas marami pong oras ang pahinga namin versus yung mga mas maraming tao sa set na literally and figuratively
06:14.9
mas mabibigat at mas malalaki sa set.
06:15.9
Sa totoo lang po yung mga performers, mas marami pong oras ang pahinga namin versus yung mga mas maraming tao sa set na literally and figuratively mas mabibigat at mas malalaki sa set.

06:26.9
Doon po sa taong na kung pakiusapan ay papayag ba mang eksen.
06:48.3
You're talking about
06:49.7
yung artista na papayagat po
06:52.0
Opo, everyone po eh, everyone.
06:57.7
papayag, di syempre lahat po
06:59.2
damay-damay na. So, gusto po namin
07:01.4
yung protection na ito, yung 16
07:03.2
hours, kung ano po mang number yun.
07:05.2
In fact, huwag lang po sanang mabalik
07:07.3
sa dahatim practice. Whatever the committee
07:09.4
agrees on, is a win for us.
07:12.1
Para lang, across
07:13.5
the board, mula sa
07:14.6
first person in or any
07:17.4
person, part of the crew across the board,
07:19.6
whether artista po man or crew
07:25.4
itong working hours po na ito.
07:27.7
Do you know what was the
07:28.8
previous practice before?
07:35.5
yung best and worst na aming lahat?
07:41.3
ko po yata ay umabot ng 36
07:44.0
36 hours straight?
07:45.9
Yes, palipat-lipat po ng location.
07:49.9
Ano ito, TV or shooting?
07:54.4
I mean, walang pahinga,
07:59.4
Madam, madam, madam,
08:03.9
Ang magiging pahinga
08:06.1
po lang po, kung halimbawa,
08:07.9
bumaklas, travel, kasi
08:12.0
I think I've experienced that twice.
08:14.0
Yung 36 hours, ma-artista.
08:19.9
36 hours, what more
08:24.2
Mga production designer.
08:27.9
kaya po yun talagang
08:29.9
hinihiling namin na
08:31.2
ang dating nakagawian
08:33.7
ay iiwanan natin sa nakaraan.
08:36.0
Sir, 36 hours is a...
08:39.3
Ang bayad sa inyo isang araw?
08:44.0
Sir, strike of the record yung...
08:50.0
huli nga, pandagdag na lang po.
08:53.4
Totoo po yan, may mga gandong
08:54.8
realities po on the ground.
08:58.7
pero ito pong mga
09:02.0
pinapropose namin ay base
09:04.1
sa mga best practices.
09:06.1
Dahil napatunayan po na
09:07.7
it is possible na kung ganito po
09:09.9
ang ating window ay merong
09:11.8
decent amount of creative output.
09:14.0
For as long as efficient po ang lahat
09:17.5
Yung sinabi po ni Mr. Coco Martin,
09:19.7
totoo po yan, na possible po yan.
09:21.8
At maganda pa rin ang kinalalabasan.
09:23.4
Everybody is safe and happy across the board.
09:26.1
Even the 16 hours has basis
09:28.2
na it has been done.
09:30.1
In fact, nung pandemic po,
09:31.6
mas naging very, very strict po ang lahat.
09:34.5
At nagkaroon din naman po
09:36.4
ng mga magagandang output.
09:37.8
Although, syempre, pag mas
09:39.9
hinabaan pa natin yan, mas marami
09:41.9
pa po tayo magagawa. So, again,
09:43.8
ang point ko lang po, yung these recommendations
09:45.6
are based on the best practices
09:47.9
na pwede po siyang mangyari
09:50.0
kahit na may mga limitasyon pong ganito.
