15 Dec 2024 – Nine participants (seven women) hugged their framed certificates in their graduation from the challenging 11-Saturday 3rd Cluster learning course (CLiCK 3) conducted by the NTUC Phl Leadership Institute (LEADNtI). They were joined in celebration on Dec 15 by graduates from the first two CLiCks in 2023 and 2024. NTUC CLiCK’s training for women and young workers for leadership uses improved modules from CLiCks 1 and 2 and the ITUC AP/DGB BW/ATUC leadership modules and mentoring manuals. The in-person course took place at the ObreNa Center in Quezon City. The teaching team, led by President Jhing Ogalinda, comes from NTUC Phl. Participating federations fully supported the program and participants’ expenses. There are now a total of 30 graduates (from 44 starters) of the three CLiCk courses. The next CLiCK starts in March 2025.
18 Aug 2024 – NTUC Phl President Jhing Ogalinda stressed “Ganyan talaga ang patuloy na mangyayari [sa economy] dahil inde naman kasama ang ating workers and their families dyan. Inde inclusive ang Philippine economy. Paano makaaahon ang bansa kung patuloy na depressed ang real wages, at lalong lumalalim ang inequality.” In the blended NTUC Phl 6th anniversary celebrations on Aug 18, she said that slowed consumption caused by depressed real wages and inequality is holding down what the economy could be. While noting that NTUC Phl and its affiliates have resumed normal operations despite global uncertainties, President Jhing cited continuing Covid in 84 countries, conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and elsewhere, harsh demonstrations from climate change, among multiple crises.
