    DLSU Questions: Is all fair in the gig economy? (Part 1 of 3)

    With the pandemic, our country has seen an increased need for on-demand apps, which meant an influx of delivery riders in gig-work platforms. While these apps give access to alternative sources of income, workers are inevitably exposed to various work and health hazards. Workers from the gig economy are at risk due to the lack of labor laws in the country. In return, they fail to receive support and protection from unfair labor practices.  In this 3-part special of DLSU Questions, we talk with Dr. Cheryll Ruth Soriano, the Principal Investigator of Fairwork Philippines and our current Communications Department Vice Chair of De La Salle University, to guide us as we embark on the journey of understanding the industry and economy of gig work here in the Philippines.
