12-by-12 CAMPAIGN: Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada (third from right), together with organizers and participants of National Trade Union Conference on Decent Work for Domestic Workers led by Federation of Free Workers National President Atty. Sonny Matula (second from right), wears an apron with 12-by-12 logo to signify his support to the worldwide campaign which aims to get 12 countries in 2012 to ratify the International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention 189. The treaty establishes labor standards and comprehensive set of protection for all domestic workers. The Philippines became the second country to ratify the convention upon concurrence of the Senate last August. Also, an important part of the campaign is to support the passage of an enabling law on the protection of household service workers, particularly the “Batas Kasambahay,” as prescribed by ILO Convention 189.
