When I was having a sink and flooring fixed I came to meet two construction workers. They were not lazy at all. They arrived on time and were not so demanding of how much they should receive. I bought them lunch and snacks.
Another worker I know fixed the ceiling of my mother's house and even suggested how to make it sturdier using bigger pieces of wood that would not be readily eaten by termites. He was a government construction worker. I also met a tilist, a worker who placed tiles on the flooring and his work is superb. Walang bingkong.
Now I don't know why a representative of our president in PR China should generalize how lazy construction workers are based only on two instances, and worse yet would compare them with the Chinese workers. Is this the way a representative of our country should act in his position? He must be in the wrong post.
Before anyone should generalize about workers the premises should be solidly true and plenty enough to merit the conclusion. How many construction workers are there in the Philippines? Next question, what percentage should we use in order to be able to generalize about them?
I think that this person needs to go back to subjects on statistics and philosophy in order to understand what is meant by " it does not follow...."
Folks, we are in hot waters once an official acts like this one. We shall be the laughing stock of the world and no one would take us seriously anymore when we start talking about human rights, workers' rights, and all other rights all contained under the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Any student of law would know this elementary rule of being logical when making a conclusion.
Oh my God! Save us from the fires of illogical thinking and traitorous statements.
