English: "I have repeatedly asked the government to explain why it fails to fill its authorized permanent positions while also hiring thousands of workers without steady or regular contracts. This is unacceptable more so as the government admits that more Filipinos will be unemployed in the coming years due to the expanding labor force," Villanueva said.
Filipino: "Paulit-ulit na po tayong humihingi ng paliwanag kung bakit nabibigo itong punuan ang mga permanenteng posisyon habang libo-libo naman sa mga empleyado nito ay walang regular na kontrata. Hindi po ito katanggap-tanggap lalo na't inamin pa ng pamahalaan na dadami pa ang Pilipinong walang trabaho dahil sa patuloy na paglaki ng ating labor force," sabi ni Villanueva.
