As the country’s independent national human rights institution, the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) joins the nation this Labor Day 2025 in honoring all Filipino workers—both at home and abroad—for their invaluable contributions to the country’s progress and development.

This day stands as a symbol of Filipino workers’ remarkable dedication and spirit, and a reaffirmation of our collective commitment to continually uphold workers’ rights, ensure their full recognition, and empower them by promoting dignified working conditions.

The Commission emphasizes that decent and dignified work is not a privilege, but a fundamental human right. In line with our mandate to uphold the rights of all, the CHR stands firm in advocating for policies and practices that protect workers’ rights, promote social justice, and ensure equitable opportunities for all.

True recognition of Filipino workers extends beyond symbolic gestures. While acknowledgment is important, it is through concrete lasting actions that we truly honor their contributions. This includes implementing inclusive labor policies, ensuring fair and livable wages, and providing safe and dignified working conditions—critical steps in safeguarding and empowering our workforce.

Today, as we honor the hands that build, heal, serve, and move the nation forward, we also call upon all sectors of society to renew their commitment to respecting and upholding the rights of every worker.
