and that is why that is why 

63
00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:59,333
we need to ensure that we need 
to ensure that the weather and 

64

of course, we’re of course for 
the gender as another year as

66
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:11,400
efforts with social justice, 
social justice development, 

67
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,800

that everyone is. everyone is 
at the current technology.

our our supporters, we’re doing

right now, we’re all the 
technology perhaps, it is great

and passion in our

our policy responses should is 
these. This strategy puts the 

73
00:08:10,599 --> 00:08:15,667
back of interest in the center 
and this entails a fundamental 

74
00:08:15,667 --> 00:08:19,767
right of the right for social 
dialogue. Dialogue history has 

75
00:08:19,767 --> 00:08:22,767
taught us history. morals are 
more effective, and more there 

76
00:08:22,767 --> 00:08:28,667
is collectively, collectively 
indeed.

gained popularity and provided 

85
00:24:44,666 --> 00:24:48,233
opportunities, it is not 
without criticisms Will 

86

advocates argue that that work

00:27:07,066 --> 00:27:14,933
of Mr Speedy Philippines, Mr 
Gene Angelo. P Gene. Hi, 

109
00:27:14,933 --> 00:27:18,267
Raymond. Can you hear me? Yes. 
Hi. Thank you for having me 

110
00:27:18,267 --> 00:27:22,367
today at Draymond. Uh I’m 
excited but I think after I 

111
00:27:22,367 --> 00:27:25,600
heard the talk of A and the 
foundation, I think my 

112
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,800
presentation is is more of a 
overview rather than something 

113
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:37,033
that is focused specifically on 
the uh on the works. 

114
00:29:04,267 --> 00:29:08,766
see me with less hair in this 
video. 

115
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:16,333
I’m Gene Ferrer, Country 
Manager of Mr, Speedy 

116
00:29:16,333 --> 00:29:20,200
Philippines. Mr Speedy is an 
on-demand last mile delivery 

117
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,300
service for businesses. We are 
what you call a third party 

118
00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:27,967
logistics. We came from Russia 
from our mother company which 

119
00:29:27,967 --> 00:29:31,900
is Gusta Vista and are present 
in over ten countries already. 

120
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:36,433
We are basically a on demand 
and last mile delivery but we 

121
00:29:36,433 --> 00:29:41,300
also allow advanced booking. It 
is delivery for every 

122
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:46,966
individual but moreover, it’s 
tools for business 

123
00:30:15,299 --> 00:30:18,467
trucks. for example, using the 
Mr Speedy apps is very simple. 

124
00:30:18,467 --> 00:30:22,433
Once you download it, you open 
it. There are three boxes. 

125
00:30:22,433 --> 00:30:26,367
There’s a request, an order. 
there is a public service and 

126
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:29,933
there is an order tracking. I 
think the easiest and the most 

127
00:30:29,933 --> 00:30:32,866
common way to use it is it goes 
straight to request an order. 

128
00:30:32,866 --> 00:30:35,967
There are drop-down links. so 
you can just simply put cash on 

129
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:39,766
delivery. You can choose a 
public service or you can have 

130
00:30:39,766 --> 00:30:43,333
special instructions for your 
career once you place an order. 

131
00:30:43,333 --> 00:30:47,867
There are already prompts and 
messages that tell you, we’ve 

132
00:30:47,867 --> 00:30:51,700
found a prettier tractor and 
even when the order is 

133
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:54,700
delivered and then, you can 
already see that automatically. 

134
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:58,267
what is the price of that 
delivery? So, it is really a 

135
00:30:58,267 --> 00:31:01,267
convenient application so that 
you yourself don’t have to 

136
00:31:01,267 --> 00:31:03,866
worry about the deliveries that 
you want to be sent. The number 

137
00:31:03,866 --> 00:31:07,533
one thing that we could look at 
are the benefits that we extend 

138
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:11,167
to our riders. So, we recently 
launched an emergency financial 

139
00:31:11,167 --> 00:31:14,967
assistance benefits. we find 
part who could give benefits 

140
00:31:14,967 --> 00:31:18,900
such as how to save more during 
the day, especially on the cost 

141
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:23,800
such as gasoline, text 
messages, motorbike, and 

142
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,367
vehicle maintenance. So, all of 
these, we are trying to 

143
00:31:26,367 --> 00:31:29,433
incorporate so that everything 
that they earned during the day 

144
00:31:29,433 --> 00:31:33,133
is actually already take home 
for them. Mr Speedy was built 

145
00:31:33,133 --> 00:31:37,200
by our 2 years and they’re 
actually the lifeblood and the 

146
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,633
foundation of the company. So, 
what we actually do is build 

147
00:31:40,633 --> 00:31:45,267
trust and confidence between Mr 
Speedy, the 2 years, and the 

148
00:31:45,267 --> 00:31:48,567
businesses because what we are 
trying to achieve here is that 

149
00:31:48,567 --> 00:31:52,466
2 years would be taking care of 
our clients as if they were 

150
00:31:52,466 --> 00:31:56,333
their own. So, through Mr 
Speedy, we’re able to create 

151
00:31:56,333 --> 00:32:00,400
this environment where 2 years 
and businesses work together 

152
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,066
and make sure you know, on a 
day in, day out basis, there’s 

153
00:32:03,066 --> 00:32:06,833
no need to worry for our 
business partners. we call them 

154
00:32:06,833 --> 00:32:10,366
right now. our new heroes. so 
we call them and be a hero and 

155
00:32:10,366 --> 00:32:15,033
I hope that through Mr and 
other platforms we give people 

156
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:18,766
who work for companies like us, 
Pride that they can call 

157
00:32:18,766 --> 00:32:23,133
themselves couriers in the 
Philippines 

158
00:32:27,266 --> 00:32:33,000
Next time In summary, uh 

159
00:32:33,766 --> 00:32:37,200
Okay, sorry about that. In 
summary, mister is the last 

160
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,467
mile on demand, same day 
delivery service. So, we do 

161
00:32:39,467 --> 00:32:43,433
Door-to-door delivery and we 
target, we hope to be the MSM 

162
00:32:43,433 --> 00:32:48,366
Es of choice. We help them grow 
by decreasing logistical costs 

163
00:32:48,366 --> 00:32:52,666
and outsourcing logistics 
process. We are also on the 

164
00:32:52,666 --> 00:32:55,667
web, you know, and we are 
available in all apps. Apple 

165
00:32:55,667 --> 00:33:00,366
App Store, Google Play Store, 
and the App Gallery. What makes 

166
00:33:00,366 --> 00:33:07,066
Mister Speedy a business in the 
platform economy, Mister Speedy 

167
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,433
I get into platform economy per 
se. The first thing I want to 

168
00:33:38,433 --> 00:33:43,400
explore and define is the word 
business model or two words for 

169
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,600
any business. This is the 
answer to the question. How do 

170
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,267
you make money The most basic 
of business models have three 

171
00:33:51,267 --> 00:33:55,267
questions. First, what does the 
business need to make 

172
00:33:55,267 --> 00:33:59,200
something? So, this includes 
labor development materials, 

173
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,300
manufacturing design, and so 
on. Second question, what does 

174
00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:06,500
the business need to sell? that 
said thing? So, online 

175
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:09,400
marketing, traditional 
marketing channels of 

176
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,699
distribution, 

177
00:35:38,834 --> 00:35:43,766
economies a title and I quote 
the platform economy is a 

178
00:35:43,766 --> 00:35:46,767
complex phenomenon that is 
significantly disrupting the 

179
00:35:46,767 --> 00:35:51,766
general concept of normal jobs. 
It is any type of digital 

180
00:35:51,766 --> 00:35:54,900
platform that uses the internet 
to connect this person. 

181
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:59,767
Networks of individuals to 
facilitate Digital interactions 

182
00:35:59,767 --> 00:36:04,166
between people within the 
platform economy. There is a 

183
00:36:04,166 --> 00:36:10,499
triangular relationship between 
three parties. The platform 

184
00:37:38,733 --> 00:37:42,734
logistical support as an open 
platform. Meaning, anyone can 

185
00:37:42,734 --> 00:37:46,933
use Mr Speedy. We are also 
allow individuals or non 

186
00:37:46,933 --> 00:37:50,733
business to use the platform 
and let me further demonstrate 

187
00:37:50,733 --> 00:37:53,833
how the platform economy works 
As mentioned earlier, a 

188
00:37:53,833 --> 00:37:58,767
platform economy based business 
model has three components. The 

189
00:37:58,767 --> 00:38:03,334
platform, a customer, and a 
worker or service provider or 

190
00:38:03,334 --> 00:38:08,332
product provider at times. In 
our case, you the customer and 

191
00:38:08,332 --> 00:38:12,133
our mister Speedy couriers are 
your service providers. Excuse 

192
00:38:12,133 --> 00:38:17,633
me. how most platforms make 
profit is by charging a 

193
00:38:17,633 --> 00:38:21,466
platform fee or a commission 
from transactions that happen 

194
00:38:21,466 --> 00:38:24,899
within their environment but 
again, let me remind everyone 

195
00:38:24,899 --> 00:38:29,266
that this is not the only way. 
There are other business models 

196
00:38:29,266 --> 00:38:33,566
based on the platform economy 
that are unlike Mr Speedy or 

197
00:38:33,566 --> 00:38:38,732
the logistics application of 
the platform. I call it just as 

198
00:38:38,732 --> 00:38:41,966
mister Speedy embraced this new 
business model, the platform 

199
00:38:41,966 --> 00:38:46,799
economy provides much more 
opportunities. So mobility We 

200
00:38:46,799 --> 00:38:51,767
have Uber and class. We have 
new marketplaces, Shoppe, 

201
00:38:51,767 --> 00:38:56,266
Lozada. We have entertainment, 
Netflix, YouTube, and even 

202
00:38:56,266 --> 00:39:01,332
payment Gateways, GA, Maya. All 
of these are here to stay. All 

203
00:39:01,332 --> 00:39:05,566
of the all of these are digital 
and all of these are types of 

204
00:39:05,566 --> 00:39:09,567
companies in the platform 
economy. Let me go to part two 

205
00:39:09,567 --> 00:39:14,966
of my presentation. Why is the 
platform economy thrive? I have 

206
00:39:14,966 --> 00:39:20,232
two answers for you. in the 
advent of the digital world. A 

207
00:39:20,232 --> 00:39:24,533
research report by McKenzie 
suggests that more than 30% of 

208
00:39:24,533 --> 00:39:29,833
Global economic activity around 
sixty 60 trillion US dollars 

209
00:39:29,833 --> 00:39:35,333
could be mediated by digital 
Platforms in 6 years time their 

210
00:39:35,333 --> 00:39:40,367
experts estimate that only 3% 
of established companies have 

211
00:39:40,367 --> 00:39:44,467
adopted an effective platform 
strategy. So, there’s so much 

212
00:39:44,467 --> 00:39:48,433
more to look forward to in 
terms of business innovation in 

213
00:39:48,433 --> 00:39:51,466
this 

214
00:44:27,333 --> 00:44:31,233
much more applications exist 
from the mister Speedy 

215
00:44:31,233 --> 00:44:35,466
perspective. The service that 
we aggregate are delivery 

216
00:44:35,466 --> 00:44:39,833
service providers. We treat our 
courses as independent business 

217
00:44:39,833 --> 00:44:44,000
owners trying to get clients to 
use them instead of the 

218
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,466
traditional knocking at the 
door advertising themselves and 

219
00:44:47,466 --> 00:44:51,366
trying to get their own 
clients. Mr Speedy provides the 

220
00:44:51,366 --> 00:44:55,633
demand for these independent 
individuals. Mr Speedy spends 

221
00:44:55,633 --> 00:44:58,667
on developing our app, our 
platform, and spends on 

222
00:44:58,667 --> 00:45:04,199
marketing to increase the user 
base in effect 

223
00:45:49,834 --> 00:45:54,733
Let me talk about innovation. 
Secondly, the main difference 

224
00:45:54,733 --> 00:45:57,767
between platforms and 
traditional business models is 

225
00:45:57,767 --> 00:46:01,433
that platforms are 
multifaceted. Platforms cater 

226
00:46:01,433 --> 00:46:05,233
to multiple users by bringing 
the consumer and businesses 

227
00:46:05,233 --> 00:46:08,200
together to create 
relationships, Platforms 

228
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:13,433
facilitate the exchange of 
value and they create again a 

229
00:46:13,433 --> 00:46:18,766
bond between seller platform 
and consumer The internet 

230
00:46:18,766 --> 00:46:22,833
enhances innovation by enabling 
firms to exploit economies of 

231
00:46:22,833 --> 00:46:27,033
scale through online platforms 
and services. compete with the 

232
00:46:27,033 --> 00:46:30,000
conventional business model 
According to a report of 

233
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:35,233
Google, Tessa, and and company 
2018, the Philippines has grown 

234
00:46:35,233 --> 00:46:38,733
remarkably in the online media 
sector comprising of 

235
00:46:38,733 --> 00:46:41,433
advertising, gaming, 
subscription, music, and video 

236
00:46:41,433 --> 00:46:47,266
on demand at an annualized rate 
of 42% per year from 2015 to 

237
00:46:47,266 --> 00:46:52,333
2019. Aside from online media 
sector for sectors also group 

238
00:46:52,333 --> 00:46:57,633
online travel flights, hotels, 
vacation, 

239
00:48:00,799 --> 00:48:06,300
as well as online spending 57%. 
The report also stated the 

240
00:48:06,300 --> 00:48:09,834
shift was most rampant in 
Filipinos aged Thirty-five to 

241
00:48:09,834 --> 00:48:14,433
Forty-four data indicated that 
4040 44% of Pinoy in that age 

242
00:48:14,433 --> 00:48:19,166
group but more items online 
during the quarantine from the 

243
00:48:19,166 --> 00:48:21,966
entertainment industry 
specifically Netflix and 

244
00:48:21,966 --> 00:48:26,633
Youtube Netflix at the total 
net income of over 2.6000000000 

245
00:48:26,633 --> 00:48:30,300
US dollars. The company’s 
annual revenue reached 

246
00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:34,466
Twenty-five US 25 25 billion 
and it’s streaming Subscribers 

247
00:48:34,466 --> 00:48:40,467
grew to over 204 million in the 
fourth quarter of 2020 as for 

248
00:48:40,467 --> 00:48:45,033
YouTube, it generated 19.7 
19.7000000000 US dollars in 

249
00:48:45,033 --> 00:48:51,466
revenue which is 30.4% increase 
year on year over 2.3000000000 

250
00:48:51,466 --> 00:48:55,633
People access Youtube once a 
month for online payments here 

251
00:48:55,633 --> 00:49:00,633
in the country over 1 Trillion 
pesos in Sanchez in 

252
00:49:00,633 --> 00:49:07,200
transactions have passed Cash 
in 2020 Peak at 7.5000000000 

253
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,333
Pesos Daily Gross transaction 
value and with more than 6 

254
00:49:11,333 --> 00:49:15,767
million transactions in a day, 
the mobile wallet company also 

255
00:49:15,767 --> 00:49:22,266
grew its users from 33 Million 
which is a 65% growth versus 

256
00:49:22,266 --> 00:49:26,332
last year. On the other hand, P 
Maya Philippines has reached 28 

257
00:49:26,332 --> 00:49:30,366
million users across Platforms 
through 2020 and these are the 

258
00:49:30,366 --> 00:49:33,767
top two 

259
00:50:04,267 --> 00:50:07,933
to which I think are most 
important to which I think are 

260
00:50:07,933 --> 00:50:10,900
also faced by my present 
company. For this part, let us 

261
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:15,933
limit our scope. Uh I think 
this would be more relevant uh 

262
00:50:15,933 --> 00:50:19,900
to the platform economies that 
provide connection to customers 

263
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:24,100
to service provider, service 
providers. So, the first 

264
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:28,300
problem is the regulation or 
lack thereof and second is the 

265
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:32,867
relationship of the platform 
and it’s service providers. So, 

266
00:50:32,867 --> 00:50:37,334
let talk about the regulation 
in the platform economy who 

267
00:50:37,334 --> 00:50:41,767
regulates company like Mr 
Speedy? Is it DTI? Is it dip? 

268
00:50:41,767 --> 00:50:48,333
Is it LT LT FB based on our 
current laws, it is really 

269
00:50:48,333 --> 00:50:51,500
unclear. However, this 
government agencies need to 

270
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:55,366
continue to address and support 
this growing industry. as in 

271
00:50:55,366 --> 00:51:00,966
most cases of disruption, we 
are forced to evaluate laws and 

272
00:51:00,966 --> 00:51:05,233
regulations admittedly in 

273
00:51:32,933 --> 00:51:37,966
worker’s safety standards in 
employment benefits, taxes, 

274
00:51:37,966 --> 00:51:41,732
compliance, protections of 
right competition to name a few 

275
00:51:41,732 --> 00:51:46,432
needs to be discussed Central 
to this point, however, is the 

276
00:51:46,432 --> 00:51:50,000
question, should we treat the 
platform economy differently or 

277
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,933
the same from the regular 
economy? That’s a question I 

278
00:51:52,933 --> 00:51:57,067
will leave for our lawmakers. 
Secondly, and something that 

279
00:51:57,067 --> 00:52:00,000
also has been already in 
Philippines, the power 

280
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,500
structure or relationship 
between 

281
00:53:08,766 --> 00:53:12,833
dependent workers empowered or 
exploited by Platforms. Does 

282
00:53:12,833 --> 00:53:16,000
the platform economy create any 
of redistribution of wealth or 

283
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,966
is it just accelerating 
inequality and does it lead to 

284
00:53:19,966 --> 00:53:23,234
the production of social 
inequality? Our platform 

285
00:53:23,234 --> 00:53:26,300
workers independent 
contractors, or employees, How 

286
00:53:26,300 --> 00:53:29,466
do we classify the range of 
people that fall in the green 

287
00:53:29,466 --> 00:53:34,267
area in the middle? What is the 
reality? The platform economy 

288
00:53:34,267 --> 00:53:37,466
still relies on one of the 
oldest economic principle 

289
00:53:37,466 --> 00:53:41,332
supply and demand. what 
platforms have done and 

290
00:53:41,332 --> 00:53:45,367
probably unintentionally is to 
dramatically increase 

291
00:53:45,367 --> 00:53:49,366
competition or increasing the 
supply. Hence, raising the 

292
00:53:49,366 --> 00:53:53,466
biggest question how do we 
ensure platform workers are 

293
00:53:53,466 --> 00:53:57,433
protected? Meaning to say, can 
they still earn decently in the 

294
00:53:57,433 --> 00:54:01,333
platform gig economy when 
prices become more competitive 

295
00:54:01,333 --> 00:54:06,867
in business, Tok means cheaper 
and the cheaper the price, the 

296
00:54:06,867 --> 00:54:10,867
smaller the profit both for the 
platform and the platform 

297
00:54:10,867 --> 00:54:14,766
worker. Then, where does that 
leave? the bottom line? More 

298
00:54:14,766 --> 00:54:20,767
people available. More workers 
demand remaining constant 

299
00:54:20,767 --> 00:54:25,232
cheaper. The service will be 
again, the law of supply and 

300
00:54:25,232 --> 00:54:28,800
demand. So, now, we’ve come to 
my conclusion. Hopefully, we’ve 

301
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,800
brought in our understanding of 
the platform we call him 

302
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,967
understood it’s opportunities 
and accepted its challenges 

303
00:54:35,967 --> 00:54:39,500
What should your takeaway be 
for it is that business will 

304
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:43,132
continue to thrive. innovate, 
correct themselves to address 

305
00:54:43,132 --> 00:54:47,266
any current market condition. 
COVID, a new pandemic, 

306
00:54:47,266 --> 00:54:51,233
recession, etcetera but beneath 
these businesses are 

307
00:54:51,233 --> 00:54:54,900
individuals whom we see on a 
daily basis, trying hard to 

308
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:59,066
make ends meet. Many 
individuals are doing what they 

309
00:54:59,066 --> 00:55:03,100
can but real success, real 
growth can only come if there 

310
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:07,167
is a change in our society, in 
our economy, and in our 

311
00:55:07,167 --> 00:55:11,233
politics as 

312
00:56:11,300 --> 00:56:16,999
the discussion and have a nice 
day. Thank you very much. 

313
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,166
your presentation really gave 
us, you know, the basic and the 

314
00:56:23,166 --> 00:56:27,000
better understanding of our 
platform economy but the 

315
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:34,300
business activities and digital 
platforms and also your 

316
00:56:34,300 --> 00:56:41,432
principles, efficiency, and 
innovation at a participants 

317
00:56:42,300 --> 00:56:47,200
uh open forum, stand by and 
let’s proceed to our second 

318
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,432
presentation. 

319
00:59:52,766 --> 00:59:56,766
The self-employed, informal, or 
non regular employment and gig 

320
00:59:56,766 --> 01:00:04,267
work. and so on that digital 
intermediary. As mister Gene 

321
01:00:04,267 --> 01:00:06,332
said, that brings together 
various parties through the 

322
01:00:06,332 --> 01:00:12,299
internet to interact thereby 
matching supply and demand for 

323
01:00:12,299 --> 01:00:19,533
for labor work on work where a 
platform like upwork or online 

324
01:00:19,533 --> 01:00:24,466
jobs at PH or Freelancer.com 

325
01:01:22,966 --> 01:01:25,366
cloud work for the past 5 years 
and we’ll be happy to answer 

326
01:01:25,366 --> 01:01:28,400
questions regarding that but my 
presentation will focus on fair 

327
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:34,299
work in relation to location 
based apps, Workers do not 

328
01:01:34,299 --> 01:01:36,433
possess formal employer 
employee relationship in these 

329
01:01:36,433 --> 01:01:40,300
platforms. they are often 
considered freelancers, gig 

330
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:43,832
workers, sometimes service 
delivery partners, or 

331
01:01:43,832 --> 01:01:49,299
independent contractors paid 
per gig or service delivered 

332
01:01:49,299 --> 01:01:54,533
the status of independent 
contractors 

333
01:10:22,900 --> 01:10:26,966
that hopefully labor Platforms 
can consider upholding while we 

334
01:10:26,966 --> 01:10:30,800
wait for regulation or policy 
to be be enacted. I think it’s 

335
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:35,966
important because uh given uh I 
think uh uh the uh the ILS also 

336
01:10:35,966 --> 01:10:42,266
have has seen this now 
variations, the standards 

337
01:10:42,266 --> 01:10:47,733
Platforms, decent 

338
01:12:50,233 --> 01:12:56,866
with a three methods. research 
uh in terms and conditions 

339
01:12:56,866 --> 01:13:03,500
Platforms, platform design, Uh 
we invite uh platform managers 

340
01:13:03,500 --> 01:13:09,000
for interviews also to ask them 
for evidence 

341
01:13:09,834 --> 01:13:14,000
uh platform based on the 
Fairwork principles at uh in 

342
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:20,533
the interview workers uh in 
terms of the experiences 

343
01:16:32,732 --> 01:16:40,766
So, work related. causes 
workers so work related causes. 

344
01:16:40,766 --> 01:16:44,900
This can vary depending on the 
service that a worker provides 

345
01:16:44,900 --> 01:16:49,033
but um I think we all know that 
the pandemic has compounded the 

346
01:16:49,033 --> 01:16:53,967
costs but also the risks to 
workers. So, a motorcycle 

347
01:16:53,967 --> 01:16:59,000
delivery and internet data 
costs 

348
01:24:22,866 --> 01:24:27,033
established and organizations 
of their own choosing without 

349
01:24:27,033 --> 01:24:33,267
previous authorization. So, um 
the workers as a platform 

350
01:24:33,267 --> 01:24:36,533
worker, 

351
01:24:37,367 --> 01:24:42,334
they feel that the platform is 
unfair They’re easily 

352
01:24:42,334 --> 01:24:47,733
replaceable So, collectively, 

353
01:24:47,900 --> 01:24:53,233
and organized Grupo and um 

354
01:29:24,367 --> 01:29:28,599
he was able to share to us that 
platform based business models 

355
01:29:28,599 --> 01:29:32,700
create their value uh by 
connecting users in an online 

356
01:29:32,700 --> 01:29:36,367
network. You know, he noted in 
this presentation or in his 

357
01:29:36,367 --> 01:29:39,332
presentation, the strength of 
platform economy lies in its 

358
01:29:39,332 --> 01:29:44,366
ability to eliminate human 
trade barriers using increased 

359
01:29:44,366 --> 01:29:48,767
information information sharing 
between different layers and uh 

360
01:29:48,767 --> 01:29:53,967
also uh it it it makes it 
easier for consumer and sellers 

361
01:29:53,967 --> 01:29:57,799
to interact As for the 
challenges he pointed out that 

362
01:29:57,799 --> 01:30:02,533
uh uh he thinks not that we can 
emphasize here Una regulation 

363
01:30:02,533 --> 01:30:08,267
or the lack of regulation. Now, 
economy and second power 

364
01:30:08,267 --> 01:30:12,500
structure or the relationship 
of uh the platform and it’s 

365
01:30:12,500 --> 01:30:16,333
service our product providers. 
lastly in the last part of his 

366
01:30:16,333 --> 01:30:21,733
presentation uh significant 
question on whether or not 

367
01:30:21,733 --> 01:30:25,966
platform economy addresses 
social inequality and perhaps 

368
01:30:25,966 --> 01:30:29,067
viewers 

369
01:31:04,666 --> 01:31:09,666
in recent years now and uh also 

370
01:31:10,333 --> 01:31:15,267
uh objectives Fairwork 
Philippines Project Uh they 

371
01:31:15,267 --> 01:31:18,200
want to understand the 
characteristics of emerging 

372
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:22,332
local labor, Platforms. um as 
alternatives to global platform 

373
01:31:22,332 --> 01:31:27,366
and also examine their labor 
brokerage role and also explore 

374
01:31:27,366 --> 01:31:31,267
how these local initiatives 
emerging design and organize 

375
01:31:31,267 --> 01:31:34,000
their platform and intern 
facilitate labor um arrangement 

376
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,500
at a very distinct 

377
01:44:26,700 --> 01:44:32,233
Thank you for sharing. How 
about you? Uh uh I think I 

378
01:44:32,233 --> 01:44:37,300
would first come with uh uh I 
guess the I just wanted to 

379
01:44:37,300 --> 01:44:42,367
share the uh what’s the word 
I’m looking for. I would like 

380
01:44:42,367 --> 01:44:46,900
to share the journey of of uh 
of a platform of or most 

381
01:44:46,900 --> 01:44:51,799
digital uh companies there is 
what we call the minimum viable 

382
01:44:51,799 --> 01:44:56,133
product. Meaning, as an app 
company, as an app developer, 

383
01:44:56,133 --> 01:44:59,767
you don’t 

384
01:47:01,733 --> 01:47:06,367
their own business. downsizing. 
I think our training to improve 

385
01:47:06,367 --> 01:47:09,700
the competency of our workers 
and in the case of our service 

386
01:47:09,700 --> 01:47:14,833
delivery right there, and 
entertaining. For example, 

387
01:47:14,833 --> 01:47:19,867
customer service, proper food 
handling, proper parcel, um 

388
01:47:19,867 --> 01:47:23,900
packaging, or handling 
competency 

389
01:54:34,766 --> 01:54:39,033
for that. Um no, I think just 
to close this, I think one last 

390
01:54:39,033 --> 01:54:41,800
question to the Professor, 
Cheryl, uh do you think that 

391
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:45,733
digital labor Platforms can 
create fair competition and 

392
01:54:45,733 --> 01:54:48,366
these jobs for example, 
including the promotion of 

393
01:54:48,366 --> 01:54:53,366
social dialogues among our 
workers in that platform? My 

394
01:54:53,366 --> 01:54:56,666
answer, my quick answer is yes 
and we have seen this happening 

395
01:54:56,666 --> 01:55:01,900
in other countries. So, uh uh a 
dilemma because many of the 

396
01:55:01,900 --> 01:55:04,433
platforms as I mentioned, 
they’re also startups, right? 

397
01:55:04,433 --> 01:55:06,733
And uh in a lot of ways they 
also support the economy 

398
01:55:06,733 --> 01:55:10,300
especially in the 

399
01:56:55,800 --> 01:57:00,000
Okay. So, actually, I’m I’m I’m 
most easy to reach on YouTube. 

400
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,333
So, I have a channel. So, I 
think one of the things I’m 

401
01:57:03,333 --> 01:57:07,732
trying to discover and discuss 
is how do I help uh you know, 

402
01:57:07,732 --> 01:57:12,333
um more people understand 
financial thoughts, financial 

403
01:57:12,333 --> 01:57:16,300
literacy. I think when we talk 
about finances, it’s somehow 

404
01:57:16,300 --> 01:57:19,933
taboo even at times in your own 
family to discuss this and I 

405
01:57:19,933 --> 01:57:23,000
think that leads to many people 
falling in that recurring trap 

406
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:26,966
of not having 

407
01:57:54,433 --> 01:57:59,700
information. that ILSS II. Love 
that Fairwork has all of these 

408
01:57:59,700 --> 01:58:03,799
information because I think 
what is one thing that tech 

409
01:58:03,799 --> 01:58:07,800
companies are good at? Is it 
that we are good at making 

410
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:13,799
data-driven decisions So, the 
fact that if I saw maybe in a 

411
01:58:13,799 --> 01:58:17,799
year’s time that mister Speedy 
is doing poorly in this 

412
01:58:17,799 --> 01:58:23,267
Fairwork category. uh 
categorical uh analysis for our 

413
01:58:23,267 --> 01:58:28,967
company then it will demand 
change. So, what 

414
01:58:57,700 --> 01:59:03,500
Um I hope um we can find a 
balance between helping support 

415
01:59:03,500 --> 01:59:08,332
um entrepreneurialism and this 
uh startups ly Platforms while 

416
01:59:08,332 --> 01:59:13,233
at the same time standing for 
decent and fair work in the 

417
01:59:13,233 --> 01:59:15,466
platform economy. We in 
Fairwork Philippines, we 

418
01:59:15,466 --> 01:59:18,767
believe that this is possible. 
We can find a balance between 

419
01:59:18,767 --> 01:59:21,967
promoting profitable um 
startups and at the same time 

420
01:59:21,967 --> 01:59:25,132
promoting decent work. I think 
this is a challenge that all of 

421
01:59:25,132 --> 01:59:29,499
us will need to sit together 
and 

422
02:01:17,967 --> 02:01:22,866
and for Professor, uh This 
certificate of appreciation is 

423
02:01:22,866 --> 02:01:26,732

I went back to you. Yes. for 
for um giving the digital 

430
02:01:58,933 --> 02:02:01,967
event 

431
02:02:02,934 --> 02:02:07,200
Zoom or Facebook Live. Also, we 
would like to invite you to our 

432
02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:12,399
upcoming webinars. Just like 
our Facebook page at ILS Dole 

433
02:02:12,399 --> 02:02:15,433
official 

434
02:03:25,267 --> 02:03:29,233
favorite principles. This led 
me to three important things 

435
02:03:29,233 --> 02:03:33,533
and learnings. First, digital 
labor Platforms have reshaped 

436
02:03:33,533 --> 02:03:36,866
the way we see that our mobile 
phones and internet connection 

437
02:03:36,866 --> 02:03:39,033
are already invented for 
communication and personal 

438
02:03:39,033 --> 02:03:42,367
convenience. Whatever 
technological products we 

439
02:03:42,367 --> 02:03:45,300
possessed right now, we should 
understand that these are not 

440
02:03:45,300 --> 02:03:48,400
only Mr tools but our 
essentials drivers in the 

441
02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:50,832
improvement of economic 
inclusion in the society and in 

442
02:03:50,832 --> 02:03:57,033
creating descended productive 
employment opportunities to all 

443
02:04:24,233 --> 02:04:26,833
salmon conditions of work and 
how employment relationships 

444
02:04:26,833 --> 02:04:30,867
are structured. We are one with 
uh professor in her advocacy of 

445
02:04:30,867 --> 02:04:34,999
promoting um human dignity in 
digital icons in the digital 

446
02:04:34,999 --> 02:04:37,967
economy. Finally, as many 
Filipinos turn to platform work 

447
02:04:37,967 --> 02:04:41,333
for their livelihoods, there’s 
a growing recognition that 

448
02:04:41,333 --> 02:04:45,800
whatever regulation enforcement 
or compliance there is a need 

449
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:49,833
for a balancing act to ensure 
protection of workers and at 

450
02:04:49,833 --> 02:04:53,733
the same time to also protect 
the interest of fair 

451
02:04:53,733 --> 02:04:57,966
competition and for those This 
is again, thank you very much 

452
02:04:57,966 --> 02:05:01,366
for joining us in today’s 
webinar. We look forward to 

453
02:05:01,366 --> 02:05:02,999
having more meaningful 
conversations with you in the 

454
02:05:02,999 --> 02:05:06,167
future. 

455
02:05:06,766 --> 02:05:09,900
Thank you. 

456
02:06:30,600 --> 02:06:35,533
