III. RATIONALE:
In 1889, the Marxist International Socialist Congress adopted a resolution for a great
international demonstration in which they demanded that the workers should not be made to
work for more than 8 hours a day. After this, it became an annual event and May 1 was
celebrated as Labor Day.
In the Philippines, International Labor Day is remembered every first of May to mark the
centuries-long struggle of the proletariat and honor their bravery for demanding better
working conditions.
Labor Day is also a day for unions to bring attention to current issues affecting workers. In
1886, unions in the United States were successful in demanding an eight-hour working day.
In the Philippines, which was under United States colonial rule, workers organized a rally at
the American Governor-General’s residence demanding fairer working conditions. This is
officially recognized as the country’s first Labor Day. However, it wasn’t until after 1913
when eight-hour days, as well as other workers’ rights, were granted to the people.
To commemorate this part of our history the Team TUKLAS of Kaunlaran High School
conducted an activity to enhance the knowledge of our students about Labor Day and be part
of honoring our beloved workers which is the heart of our country.The activities and
programs crafted in this proposal are mandated under the DepEd Order No. 029 s. 2021,
School Calendar and Activities for S.Y. 2021-2022.
