About us 

Why this Web site?
If you meet nice friendly people who serve you and other guests, at beach resorts, from early in the morning till late in the evening, 15 hours a day, seven days a week, for less than half of the minimum wage. You have to react.

We like to spread knowledge about this and about the existing labour standard of the Philippines.

Visitors from Europe, US and Australia know very well what a standard of working conditions is and how important it is for the wellbeing of man, that there is a fair division between time of your own, sleep and work, under decent conditions.

We are also sure that the employers at these beach resorts are quite aware of this minimum standard. Why many of them don’t follow these standards we don’t know. We hope the employers give these matters some thoughts and ask themselves - why? 

Since it’s hard for the employees at these beach resorts to act, this web site can work as an eye opener for these matters.


Who are we?

We are friends of the people of this beautiful island. We know how important it is to work under decent conditions, with a decent salary. We also know how important it is to have a chance to spend time with family and friends.

This Web site is a non-commercial and non-political site.

We welcome beach resorts to declare that you live up to these standards, of minimum wage and hours of working. If you do, you will be mentioned at this web site. 

Contact us

Let us know your opinion and your experience regarding these matters in an e-mail or at the Forum above.

Employers who declare that they follow this standard will be mentioned at this site.

 

Welcome!

Visitors from….               ….Australia, Europe and US know very well what decent conditions are. Working conditions like 15 hours a day all days of the year, for only one ore two US-dollar a day are hard to find in Europe, Australia or US.

Conditions can not be changed over one night but with some help from visitors, courage from the Philippine people and some decent employers, there will be a change.

Resort owners from abroad, who already know what good conditions are, can set a good example.

Give this some thought
