Three months after he first made the claim, columnist turned special envoy Ramon Tulfo stands by his comment that Filipino workers are lazy.
In a televised interview, Tulfo clarified that he was referring to construction workers.
“Construction workers ang sinasabi ko talagang tamad. And basically, ‘pag kinumpara natin sa dito mga Chinese workers, eight months nagawa nila, ginagawa ng Filipino ng isang taon,” he said on CNN’ Philippines' "The Source".
(I was referring to construction workers as lazy. And basically, if we compare them to Chinese workers, in eight months, they can finish the work that takes Filipinos a year)
Tulfo said that Filipino construction workers take work lightly while Chinese workers take breaks but go right back to work.
