Cebu, Philippines – March 25 to April
14, 2025
The Young
Christian Workers (YCW) Philippines conducted a field mission in Cebu to strengthen
its base groups, develop new leaders, and deepen the organizing work among
young workers. The visit comes at a critical time as Cebu’s young workers face
worsening poverty, job insecurity, and exploitation.
YCW Cebu has
been identified as a priority area for organizing because of the serious
challenges confronting its base groups. Many young members have stopped
participating, often due to full-time work, family duties, or migration in
search of better opportunities elsewhere. The last national visit to Cebu was
in 2023, and this recent mission aimed to revive the groups and refocus on
leadership development.
Young Workers in Cebu: Exploited and
Struggling
Cebu’s economy
may be booming, with industries such as BPOs, tourism, and manufacturing, but
young workers continue to face challenges. Most jobs in economic zones offer
only low wages, long working hours, and no security due to rampant contractualization.
In rural areas like Candulawan and Kabankalan, many young people work as
habal-habal drivers, construction workers, handicraft makers, or in small
eateries—earning barely enough to survive. Informal workers have no social
protection, no benefits, and no safety nets in case of accidents or sickness.
Worse, poverty
forces some young people to take desperate measures just to find work, while
others fall victim to the illegal drug trade, which continues to plague their
communities. Many families live in overcrowded housing with poor sanitation,
making them vulnerable to disease and disasters.
Organizing for Change
Despite the
challenges, the YCW National Team Secretariat and with the assistance of the
IYCW-ASPAC Coordinator, along with former members and collaborators, launched
house visits, workplace visits, and group meetings in Candulawan, Kabankalan,
and nearby Muhon. These efforts aimed to reach new young people, introduce
YCW’s mission, and encourage collective action to address their issues. Some
former members offered support but emphasized the need for stronger commitment
and new leaders who can push the work forward.
The team also
held a Basic Orientation Course in Naga City, attended by around 35 young
workers from different sectors—call center agents, riders, construction
workers, salesclerks, and working students. They shared their struggles:
illegal deductions, abusive manpower agencies, low pay, and lack of benefits.
The group discussed how YCW’s See-Judge-Act method can help analyze
their reality and plan collective actions.
Voices from the Ground
Enen, a
habal-habal driver, struggles to provide for his family on daily earnings of
₱200-₱300. Myla, a young mother, was forced to quit her call center job because
of childcare duties. Jason, a delivery rider, worries about accidents since he
has no insurance or benefits. Anafe, unemployed, feels hopeless without a
diploma. Warren suffers from illegal salary deductions at his job through a
manpower agency. Carrien left her restaurant job due to abusive conditions.
Jamaica weaves folding beds—a traditional craft that no longer provides a decent
living.
These stories
are just a few examples of the daily hardships young workers in Cebu face. But
they also reflect the urgency for action. The YCW mission called for continuing
outreach, organizing, and advocacy to demand higher wages, secure jobs, and
government support for informal workers. The field mission team stressed that
only through unity, education, and collective struggle can young workers change
their conditions.
The Call to Action
The mission
concluded with renewed plans to build stronger base groups, develop young
leaders, and prepare for national and international YCW gatherings. The group
called on all young workers:
“Let us unite, organize, and fight for our rights! Together, we can build a
future where young workers are respected, protected, and empowered.”
