“So makukumpleto na po ‘yung SSL 3. Perhaps, one month earlier than originally planned,” he added.
The President added that he would be meeting with labor leaders and stakeholders on May 1 to discuss ways and means to improve employee-employer labor relations.
“Yes, there’s a dialogue. We’ve prepared for it …and will be fine-tuning the questions and answers and their recommendations,” the President said.
