‘Rediscovering joy at work’ movement pushed
MANILA, Philippines — A House of Representative hopeful vows to propel the “rediscovering joy at work” movement, riding on the emerging concept overseas.
Such a move is needed to create a paradigm shift in the way Filipinos view and experience their jobs, said Trabaho party-list spokesperson Mitchell-David Espiritu.

“Drawing inspiration from global practices and the emerging concept of ‘rediscovering joy at work,’ Trabaho seeks to create a paradigm shift in the way Filipinos view and experience their jobs,” Espiritu said in a statement on Wednesday.
Meaningful employment, Espiritu said, goes beyond just financial compensation but about aligning workers’ skills and passions with their daily tasks, making them feel more connected and motivated in their roles.
David emphasizes “individual’s connection to their work”, which the spokesperson said will only be realized in an environment that fosters inclusion, personal growth, and well-being.
For her part, Trabaho’s first nominee Johanne Bautista noted that “many workers feel disconnected from their jobs due to the pressures of the modern economy” which the party-list wanted to address should they get a House seat.
