UNPAID INTERNSHIPS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND THE HOPE THAT IS HOUSE BILL 5081

I think I speak for every medical technology intern in the Philippines that the system is demoralizing. To get the degree, our final year in college include a grueling one 16-hr shift, and two 8-hr shifts per week. We work like actual employees with not even a single incentive. I dare say that it's abuse, in the guise of "preparing us for the real-world". Thankfully, there exists a bill in the Philippines, House Bill 5081. It's a bill the humanizes the system by incentivizing student interns in the Philippines. And I quote: House Bill 5081, seeks to mandate fair pay (75% of minimum wage/entry-level salary), benefits, and humane conditions for student interns in both government and private sectors, aiming to stop exploitation by requiring formal contracts, limiting hours, and ensuring meaningful training, with similar bills filed in the Senate to create a national framework for paid, protected internships.
Although there's a slim chance that I would get to experience it (I would already have my degree before it passes) - the only sense of comfort I can draw in is that my juniors could get to have fair pay once they're in their final year in college.
