Signed recently by President Rodrigo Duterte, the new law classifies those whose income falls below the poverty threshold as defined by the National Economic and Development Authority , and cannot afford their minimum basic needs of food, health, education, and housing as poor.
Leody De Guzman BMP chairman claimed the law will “fail miserably” in aiming for the reduction of poverty and or even increasing the poor’s access to social services as state policies continue to favor the economic elite. He argued that a mere reiteration of the administration’s innate duty to advance the interests of the poor was pointless without properly identifying the root causes and the policies that contributed to its catastrophic rise.
He cited the continued practice of contractualization and circumvention of constitutionally guaranteed labor rights and the regionalization and municipalization of wages in industrial hubs as the obstacles to achieving the law’s objective.
