DOLE - Bureau of Labor Relations This is the official page of the Bureau of Labor Relations (BLR) We promote collective negotiations (by advocating the right to self-organization).

The 𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗨 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 is a staff agency under the direction of the Department of Labor and Employment that covers the important aspects of labor relations. It sets the environment for a healthy relationship by making the employer and the employee aware of their rights and obligations (using LEES). We provide mechanisms to fix strained relationships through adjudication. Most of all, we foster an environment where employers and employees can reach a compromise regarding their issues and contribute to policy-making (through the TIPC). We embody the President’s overarching goal of promoting industrial peace based on social justice.

𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓: DOLE-Bureau of Labor Relations Director Arturo Alfonso J. Herbosa paid homage to the work of the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines (CHR), recognizing its enduring commitment since its establishment in 1987 through an Executive Order issued by then President Corazon Aquino to investigate human rights violations and promote human rights.

“The work is heavy and oftentimes dangerous, but the Commission and its employees have remained steadfast and true to their role as the country’s perennial Human Rights Defenders,” Dir. Herbosa emphasized.

He delivered these remarks on 20 February 2026, during the closing ceremony of the Trainers’ Training on Freedom of Association and Workers’ Rights for the CHR that ran from February 16 to 20, 2026, at Clark City, Pampanga. The activity is a joint initiative of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), sponsored by the Canadian Government.

Director Herbosa also highlighted the strong kinship between the CHR and DOLE, rooted in their shared mandate to promote, protect, and fulfill human rights. While the CHR advances human rights in general, DOLE focuses on safeguarding freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.

In this regard, both agencies will continue to collaborate with government institutions, civil society, workers’ and employers’ groups, and the ILO to uphold the rights of every individual, particularly the right of workers to freely form and join unions for purposes of collective bargaining.

Director Herbosa also served as one of the trainers in the program, wherein he discussed Key Philippine Laws and Policies on the Exercise of FOA and Related Labor Rights and the National Enforcement and Monitoring Mechanisms on FOA and Related Labor and Human Rights.

The training program forms part of the outcomes of the High-Level Tripartite Mission conducted by the ILO in 2023 and serves as a comprehensive resource designed to educate and equip various sectors of Philippine society in promoting and protecting workers’ fundamental rights to organize and bargain collectively without fear or intimidation.

The Online Union Registration System (OURS) may experience occasional performance lags due to an ongoing security testing by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). This process is intended to identify and resolve possible system vulnerabilities and may take approximately two weeks or more to complete, depending on the findings.

While the OURS will generally remain functional, you may also visit the nearest DOLE office to register your labor organization or collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) dedicated a portion of the 3- day National Tripartite Conference (NTC) to recognize and honor outstanding beneficiaries of the Workers’ Organization Development Program (WODP) who graduated with academic distinction or passed professional board and licensure examinations from 2022 to 2025.

A total of 22 WODP scholars were recognized, with 10 awardees personally present during the ceremony. The honorees were formally acknowledged on stage, alongside DOLE Senior Officials, Regional Directors, and WODP regional program implementers.

Among those recognized were Ms. Frenette Guiab of DOLE Regional Office No. 2, who graduated Cum Laude in 2023 and later passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers; Engr. Angelica Garcia, a beneficiary of DOLE–MIMAROPA, completed her degree in 2024 and successfully passed the 2025 Civil Engineering Licensure Examination. Also from MIMAROPA, Ms. Jarisca Corpuz, who graduated in 2024 and passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers in the same year.

The ceremony also honored Atty. Melchor Abbarientos of DOLE Regional Office No. 5, who completed his law degree in 2024 and passed the December 2024 Bar Examination. Ms. Aira Altar from DOLE Regional Office No. 6 was also recognized for graduating in 2022 and passing the 2024 Licensure Examination for Teachers.

Other awardees included Ms. Lunefe Saldasal of DOLE Regional Office No. 7, who graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Physical Education in 2025; Ms. Elaiza Polentisima of DOLE Regional Office No. 9, who graduated in 2024 and passed the March 2025 Licensure Examination for Teachers; and Ms. Jumelyn Aluyen of DOLE Regional Office No. 10, who earned her degree in Technology Communication Management in 2024, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

Also recognized from DOLE Regional Office No. 10 was Ms. Zairah Ayon-ayon, who completed her degree in 2023 and passed the Medical Technology Licensure Examination. Completing the list of awardees present was Ms. Maebhret Mabida of DOLE Regional Office No. 11, who graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Social Work in August 2025 and placed 9th in the September 2025 Social Workers Licensure Examination.

Awardees who were unable to attend the celebration were likewise acknowledged, with tokens of recognition distributed through their respective DOLE Regional Offices.

The awardees represented a wide range of academic disciplines, including education, engineering, law, social work, medical technology, communication, and physical education, reflecting the range of opportunities supported by the WODP Scholarship Grant across regions and professions.

Over the 31 years of its implementation, the WODP Scholarship Grant has benefited 6,763 students under the scholarship grant, 110,940 workers, and 21,939 labor organizations through its training component.

The Workers Organization Development Program (WODP), a flagship program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) under the Bureau of Labor Relations (BLR), aims to strengthen workers’ organizations by enhancing their capabilities as independent and active partners in national development. The program empowers workers and their legitimate dependents through access to education, training, and capacity-building interventions.

WODP is implemented through two major components: the Training Grant, which supports the development and upgrading of workers’ organizations through leadership, labor relations, organizational management, and other skills-based trainings; and the Scholarship Grant, which provides educational assistance to officers and members of workers’ organizations as well as their legitimate dependents under the Isabelo Delos Reyes Scholarship.

𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓: Once again, the importance of giving platform workers the appropriate Government support took center stage with the holding of the ASEAN High Level Forum on Decent Work in the Platform Economy last 03-05 February 2026 in Cebu City.

DOLE-Bureau of Labor Relations Director Arturo Alfonso J. Herbosa highlighted three key challenges that the platform economy faces, that the tripartite sectors must focus on to achieve decent work for platform economy workers. Referring to the challenges as a “trilemma” to emphasize that the dilemma is shared by the Government, workers’, and employers’ organizations. For trade unions, the independent contractor status of platform workers prevents them from forming or joining unions for collective bargaining.

For employer organizations, digital platforms and algorithms are not business organizations that have legal personalities, and while some persons serve as employers of online professionals, they are overseas.

For Governments across the globe, the current legal and policy frameworks do not seem to be adequate anymore to fully cover and protect platform workers from “algorithmic decision making” that does not fully recognize due process and prevent existing dispute resolution processes from being fully utilized, and provide platform workers with comprehensive social protection.

The delegates from the ASEAN member states participating in the high-level forum were unanimous in resolving these concerns through social tripartite consultations and social dialogue at the national level and by sharing experience and best practices at the international level.

The platform economy was also one of the important items on the agenda of the National Tripartite Conference which was held from Jan. 28-30, 2026 in the City of Manila.
