00:00 Christmas season and economic downturn are not the only reasons for happiness.
00:05 The so-called seasonal jobs are also suffering.
00:09 Bernadette Reyes is a witness.
00:11 Along with the spread of the Christmas songs,
00:19 the number of people who buy, and the income of Christmas meetups are also increasing.
00:24 Expenses are increasing, but there is also more work for the many.
00:28 Because of the increasing seasonal jobs during Christmas, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority.
00:34 This coffee shop is hiring students every Christmas.
00:41 The owner is also a student who started selling coffee on the streets.
00:47 To help those like me who need work,
00:52 to provide the daily needs.
00:54 It helps with the school fees, and also helps with the household needs at the same time.
01:04 Seasonal workers are also hiring their small business,
01:09 like those who make cookies and pastries, which are in demand as gifts during Christmas.
01:16 Around this month, we are hiring to keep up with the orders.
01:22 We also like the idea that we are not the only ones earning,
01:27 we are also helping others.
01:29 According to an economist, some of the jobs related to retail services and tourism
01:35 are in demand during Christmas.
01:38 During the holiday season, retail, of course, the various stores,
01:45 because suddenly there are a lot of people who will buy.
01:48 Leisure places, events, because of course there are a lot of Christmas parties,
01:54 a lot of catering, it's hard to book venues.
01:59 So those are there, those are hiring.
02:03 Even if there is an increase in income, remember that you don't need to spend all your money during Christmas.
02:09 The savings are still there, of course, the rationalized spending,
02:14 that's the most important expense.
02:17 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your witness.
