SNAPSHOTS | The Public Employment Service Office (PESO) of Kalinga and the PESO offices of Mountain Province conducted a benchmarking activity on Thursday, October 22, at the Kalinga Provincial Capitol Conference Hall to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and learn strategies for improving employment services in their respective provinces.

The activity provided an opportunity for PESO managers and personnel to discuss their experiences in implementing employment programs, assisting jobseekers, facilitating job matching, and strengthening partnerships with employers and other government agencies.

The session also emphasized the importance of guiding learners toward appropriate career pathways, whether through higher education, technical-vocational education and training, employment, or entrepreneurship. By integrating reliable labor market information into career development programs, school-based career guidance advocates can better help learners make informed decisions about their future.

As public servants, our commitment to serve the people does not end with the regular workweek. Even on Saturdays, we continue to serve with dedication and purpose, working hand in hand with our partners to empower learners and help prepare them for future employment opportunities.

๐‹๐Ž๐Ž๐Š | DOLE-CAR Welcomes Atty. Erwin N. Aquino as Regional Director

DOLE-CAR looks forward to a bright future as it officially welcomes Regional Director Atty. Erwin N. Aquino. A turnover ceremony was held at the Newtown Plaza Hotel on September 30, 2026, which also served as a tribute to outgoing Director Jesus Elpidio B. Atal, Jr., MNSA, for his invaluable leadership and service to the Cordillera.

Hailing from Cagayan, Atty. Aquino brings with him over 30 years of stellar public service. His journey with DOLE began in 1996, steadily rising through the ranks from a Labor and Employment Officer to becoming a Mediator-Arbiter in 2014.

This appointment is a homecoming for Director Aquino, who previously served as the Assistant Regional Director of DOLE-Cordillera from 2014 to 2015.

A seasoned leader, he was also designated as Assistant Regional Director at the DOLE MIMAROPA, Region II, and NCR. He was officially assigned as Regional Director during his tenure at DOLE Region X (Northern Mindanao), and most recently worked as the Regional Director of DOLE IV-A (CALABARZON).
