DOLE-Caraga brings Project Angel Tree to child
log haulers
By Naomi Lyn C. Abellana
BUTUAN CITY, May 25 (PIA) -- Labor and
Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz said the Department of Labor
and Employment (DOLE) Caraga regional has scored against the worst forms of
child labor when it brought a package of DOLE assistance to some 30 children
working as log haulers, as well as to their parents who used to haul logs
themselves, in Jabonga, Agusan del Norte.
Quoting a report of DOLE-Caraga Regional
Director Ofelia Domingo, Secretary Baldoz said the DOLE regional office's fast
action on a report of Philippine Star and Goldstar Daily reporter Ben Serrano
about the prevalence of child laborers allegedly hauling off logs in Bagang, a
remote barangay of Jabonga, demonstrates the DOLE's resolve to stamp out child
labor in its worst forms in the region.
Dir. Domingo reported that she created a Quick
Action Team for the child laborers of the barangay after reading Serrano's
report. A Quick Action Team is one of the mechanics under the DOLE's Sagip
Batang Manggagawa program, an inter-agency quick action mechanism which aims to
respond to cases of child labor in extremely abject conditions. A Quick Action
Team detects, monitors, and rescues child laborers in hazardous and
exploitative working conditions.
"My instruction to the Quick Action Team
was to bring the DOLE's Angel Tree program and a package of livelihood
intervention for the child laborers' parents," Domingo explained in her
report.
On 28 April, regional director Domingo,
Assistant Regional Director Joel Gonzales, members of the Quick Reaction Team,
visited the area to launch DOLE's package of assistance for the child laborers
and their parents. Also with the DOLE team was Sangguniang Panlalawigan Lorito
Maraganas who represented Agusan del Norte governor Erlpe Amante. For security
reasons, the launch was held in nearby Brgy Baleguian, not in Brgy. Bagang
where the beneficiaries reside.
Each of the 30 children received from the DOLE
team shirts, slippers, and meals. Domingo and Gonzales delivered messages that
the government is ready to help the children and their parents improve their
lot.
On his part, SP member Maraganas pledged that
the provincial government will extend livelihood assistance to the child
laborers in coordination with the DOLE.
Secretary Baldoz has instructed Domingo to
coordinate with the Department of Social Welfare and Development to return the
children to school.
"It is in school where these children must
belong, not in the back-breaking work of hauling off logs. If necessary,
implement our DOLE programs to provide their parents livelihood so that we can
help them wean their children away from child work," Baldoz ordered
Domingo.
A profile of the children done by the Quick
Reaction Team showed that 10 of the 30 children are in school while 20 are
drop-outs, with a few reaching only third year high school.
"Almost half of them are between the age of
9 and 12; three are 6-10 years old; six are 13-15 years old; and eight are
16-18 years old," said Domingo.
"Most of the children started as log
haulers at the age of seven. The work of a log hauler is a back-breaking one,
for involves strapping a rope around a child laborer's body to pull or drag a
log to a place where it can loaded onto a truck. This is a worst form of child
labor," lamented Domingo.
On the other hand, the children's parents are
all informal farm workers with no formal schooling. A few of them were log
haulers themselves. Most of the mothers are stay-at-home housewives also with
no means of income.
To prepare the parents for the DOLE's livelihood
intervention, the Quick Action Team, composed of Naomi Lyn Abellana, chief
labor and employment officer; Arnhaim Ravelo, sherrif; Gavino Santa,
administrative officer, and three personnel of the Regional Tripartite Wage and
Productivity Board, had already conducted a social preparation seminar on 27
April.
It has tapped the help of Pastor Emmanuel Ansihagan
, a community worker in Jabonga, who talked about the topic, "Essence of
Man as God’s Prime Creation." Another resource person, Manassas Benedict
Serrano, discussed the topic, "Value and Dignity of Labor", while
Director Domingo explained the dangers and risks of hazardous labor to a
child's total development.
"We have already received the commitment of
the parents that they will stop their children from hauling logs. They also
committed to be advocates of our Anti-Child Labor Program," said Domingo. (RER/NCLM/DOLE-13/PIA-Caraga)

DOLE Caraga steps up Philjobnet advocacy
BUTUAN CITY, May 25 (PIA) -- Five hundred more
public utility vehicles (PUVs) in the city were posted with Philjobnet stickers
last April, and a memorandum of agreement (MOA) was forged on Labor Day between
the Caraga regional heads of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and
the Department of Education (DepEd), to intensify the public’s awareness of
DOLE’s online job matching facility, the Philjobnet system.
About a week before Labor Day, a follow-up
operation was conducted near the city hall, to post philjobnet stickers to PUVs
who have not been posted with the stickers during the launching of the project
last year.
Butuan City Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr. issued an
executive order a year ago requiring all PUVs plying the city’s main
thoroughfare to post the said stickers, to make the public aware of the
employment services offered by the Philjobnet system.
The operation was spearheaded by DOLE-Caraga
Regional Director Ofelia Domingo and Butuan PESO Manager Ronnie Azura to
oversee posting of the philjobnet stickers by the traffic enforcers in the
tricycles and jeepneys.
In another development, RD Domingo signed a MOA
with DepEd Caraga Regional Director Dr. Gloria D. Benigno, a memorandum
requiring all secondary schools to register all their graduating high school
students to the Philjobnet system. Last year, a similar MOA was also forged
with the regional director of Comission on Higher Education – Caraga.
With the two MOAs in place, RD Domingo is
anticipating that this strategy will help achieve the regional office’s goal of
a 100-percent registration rate of all graduating students into the Philjobnet
system. (DOLE-13/NCLM/PIA-Caraga)
