𝙂𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙇 𝙇𝙐𝙉𝘼, 𝙎𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙡 𝙉𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙚 — More than 50 employers in Siargao Islands committed to strengthening compliance with wage regulations, workplace safety standards, and worker-focused operations after participating in a two-day labor education drive that equipped them with updated guidance on labor laws, occupational safety, and employee welfare programs on May 20-21, 2026, at Isola del Sole, General Luna.

The first day featured the Employers’ Forum on Enhancing Digital Compliance and Labor Practices, conducted in partnership with the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) XIII through its “Usapang 2P’s” (Pasahod at Productivity) session.

Mr. Earl Dela Victoria and the RTWPB team discussed key provisions of Wage Order No. RXIII-20, wage distortion concerns, and enterprise support programs designed to help employers comply with labor standards while improving workplace productivity.

The forum also provided participants with updates on the Department’s online reporting portal under DOLE Department Order No. 252-25. Discussions covered Rule 1020 registration, occupational safety and health requirements, wage compliance, and measures to promote sound labor-management relations.

An open forum allowed employers to raise compliance concerns directly with DOLE personnel and seek clarification on labor regulations affecting their operations.

The activity concluded on May 21 with a Labor Education Seminar at Happiness Resort, attended by participants from Spread the Happiness PH Inc. The seminar focused on the 10 Dimensions of Family Welfare Program, establishment of workplace Family Welfare Committees, and occupational safety and health requirements in the workplace.

In his message, DOLE Regional Director Atty. Jason P. Balais, emphasized that worker well-being remains essential to sustainable enterprise growth, noting that workplaces perform better when employees are protected and supported.

DOLE Provincial Head May C. Velonta highlighted the role of the Dapa Satellite Office in making labor services more accessible to Siargao-based employers and workers, allowing them to process compliance requirements and address labor concerns locally without having to travel to Surigao City.

The initiative is part of continuing efforts of DOLE to promote safe, compliant, and worker-responsive workplaces across Siargao while strengthening engagement with the island’s growing business sector.

𝘚𝘜𝘙𝘐𝘎𝘈𝘖 𝘊𝘐𝘛𝘠, 𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦— Government agencies and private sector partners joined forces to provide livelihood assistance, emergency employment, educational support, and social services to vulnerable families during the Information and Service Caravan on Child Labor Prevention and Elimination Program, organized by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Surigao del Norte Field Office on May 14, 2026, at the Maradjaw Events Center.

The caravan highlighted a collective effort to address child labor not only through immediate assistance but by confronting the economic hardships that often force children into work at an early age.

The initiative directly benefited 50 profiled child laborers from various barangays in Surigao City, along with their parents and guardians, through a combination of livelihood opportunities, employment assistance, skills training, educational support, and welfare services.

For one 16-year-old beneficiary, the caravan represented hope beyond the assistance received.

“𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘋𝘖𝘓𝘌 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥,” 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥. “𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.”

Mining companies and private organizations played a key role in the activity by donating grocery packages, school supplies, and financial support for the beneficiaries. Among the partners were Platinum Group Metals Corporation, Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation, Taganito Mining Corporation, Hinatuan Mining Corporation, Pacific Nickel Philippines Inc., CTB Construction and Development Corporation, Charlz Construction Inc., Julz Gold Ore Mining, and CTS Household and Labor Services.

McDonald’s Surigao also joined the initiative by facilitating games and interactive activities for the children, bringing moments of joy and normalcy to beneficiaries who have experienced the burden of labor at a young age.

While the children received immediate assistance, the program placed strong emphasis on helping families become economically stable to prevent child labor from recurring.

Twenty-nine parents of child laborers received salaries under DOLE’s Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program, amounting to ₱6,825 each for 15 days of community work. Another 50 parents received Certificates of Guarantee for livelihood assistance under the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP).

Several government agencies also delivered frontline services during the caravan. The Department of Social Welfare and Development distributed ready-to-eat food packs and conducted Sustainable Livelihood Program orientation sessions, while the City Health Office provided vitamins and dental hygiene kits.

The Public Employment Skills and Development Office facilitated registration for various skills training opportunities for parents, while the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority conducted an on-the-spot squash ice cream-making demonstration to encourage small-scale livelihood ventures.

DOLE Surigao del Norte Provincial Head and Chief Labor and Employment Officer May C. Velonta said the activity demonstrates how collaboration among government agencies and private stakeholders can create more meaningful and sustainable interventions against child labor.

“𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵, 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦,” 𝘝𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥.

The successful conduct of the caravan underscored the importance of sustained partnerships between government and the private sector in protecting children’s rights and addressing the root causes of child labor through community-based and family-centered interventions.
