Snippet:
I am employed as a factory worker at a manufacturing plant located in Balagtas, Bulacan. Last month, all employees were informed of management’s decision to streamline the company’s operation due to low market demand. We were told that some of us would be placed on forced leave and a work rotation for two months starting August 2026.
