TRANSCRIPT
T he Department of Labor and Employment-
Regional Office 1 has set in place a Rehabilitation
Program to provide relief and assist workers affected
by super typhoon Juan.
The Rehabilitation Program, which has been designed
specifically for workers in the informal sector, i.e. fish-
erfolks, farmers, and self-employed, consists of three
phases which aim to provide emergency employment,
restore means of livelihood, provide entrepreneurship
and skills trainings and working capital.
Phase 1 includes emergency employment assistance for
the period October to November 2010. The interven-
tion will facilitate the employment of affected workers
in small infrastructure projects of local government
units.
“The DOLE 1 will shoulder the wages of workers who
will be employed in the small rehabilitation infrastruc-
ture projects identified by the concerned municipalities.
The LGUs shall screen the beneficiaries of the program
which shall come from the official list of typhoon Juan
victims. The workers’ salary shall be based on the pre-
vailing hiring rate of the LGUs,” DOLE 1 Director
Henry John Jalbuena said.
Phase 2 will involve restorative efforts, as the DOLE 1
will provide tools, jigs, skills training and entrepreneu-
rial development trainings to affected workers to help
them restore their lost livelihood.
For Phase 3, a follow through program will be imple-
mented to help beneficiaries under phase 2 upgrade or
expand their livelihood projects.
“The idea is to first provide immediate relief to affected
workers by means of short-term employment, and to
help them rebuild their livelihood through long-term
interventions,” Jalbuena said.
Official reports disclose that damages in agriculture
and infrastructure in the region are estimated at P1.4
billion and P46 million, respectively. No damages in
business establishments were reported. – asv
Dole 1 Assists Workers Affected by Juan
A m on thl y Pu bl i cat i on of De p ar tm en t o f L a bo r an d E mpl o ym ent - R eg i on al Of f i ce 1
C ity of San Fernando, La Union - The Department of
Labor and Employment-Regional Coordinating Com-
mittee 1 recently convened at the DOLE-Regional Office 1
to harmonize the implementation, by DOLE offices and
attached agencies in Region 1, of Department Order No.
107-10, which prescribes the guidelines on the Single En-
try Approach (SENA) 30-day mandatory conciliation-
mediation services for all labor and employment cases.
DOLE 1 Director and DOLE-RCC Chair Henry John Jal-
buena called on the members of the body to finalize the
brass tacks of the new system and start its implementa-
tion, which aims to give life to the constitutional mandate
on the preferential use of voluntary modes of dispute set-
tlement, as laid down in Article 211 of the Labor Code.
Jalbuena said the SENA partly fulfills President Benigno
S. Aquino III’s thrust of bringing reforms in labor case
adjudication by streamlining procedures, removing red
tape, and at the same time, restoring integrity and fair-
ness in the system. (see page 5)
DOLE – RCC 1 Gears Up for SENA
All poised and ready. DOLE 1 Director and RCC 1 Chair Henry
John S. Jalbuena meet the committee members to finalize the de-
tails of the SENA 30-day mandatory conciliation-mediation for all
labor and employment cases
The month of October was a month of
many firsts for the Department of
Labor and Employment’s vision-
mission of creating globally competent
Filipino workers, decent employment,
and industrial peace based on social
justice, seen in light of President Be-
nigno S. Aquino III’s 22-point labor
and employment agenda.
Early this month, the first ever school-
based Public Employment Services
Office in La Union was established in
Lorma Colleges, Inc., City of San Fer-
nando, La Union. A week after, a
PESO was institutionalized in
Rosales, Pangasinan. Realized through strengthened coordination
between DOLE and its social partners, these feats are a headway to
the government’s goal of eradicating the perennial labor-mismatch
problem.
Alongside these efforts in employment facilitation, the Single-Entry
Approach (SENA) 30-day mandatory conciliation-mediation services
for all labor and employment cases was pilot tested in all DOLE Field
Offices with the creation of Single Entry Approach Desks. Substan-
tially, the SENA provides speedy, impartial, inexpensive and accessi-
ble settlement services for unresolved issues/complaints arising from
employer-employee relations by encouraging amicable settlement
between parties. The system will be further institutionalized in
DOLE attached agencies, i.e. National Labor Relations Commission,
National Conciliation and Mediation Board, Philippine Overseas
Employment Administration, Overseas Workers Welfare Administra-
tion, Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board, Professional
Regulation Commission, and Technical Education and Skills Develop-
ment Authority. The SENA is one of the labor reforms contemplated
by the Department to restore integrity and fairness in the system.
Consistent with this, we have made accessible, through our website,
the status of pending cases enrolled under the Speedy and Effective
Disposition of Labor Cases (SPEED2) for the concerned parties or the
public to be well-informed.
Partly fulfilling our commitment to work with the private and labor
sector to strengthen tripartite cooperation and promote industrial
peace, the first ever Basic Occupational Safety and Health (BOSH)
Training in Ilocos Norte was held in the third week of this month at
the Asian Garden Grill and Restaurant, Laoag City. The support of
various delegations from different industries in the said province, as
well as others from the whole region, to the OSH program is a key
towards elevating the standards of safety and health in the work-
place.
A leap from its mandate, the DOLE 1 was apt to assist workers in the
informal sector affected by typhoon Juan through a 3-phase Rehabili-
tation Program. Phase 1, which also gives life to the marching order
of the President to revive the Emergency Community Employment
Program, consisted of emergency employment in local government
unit infrastructure projects. Phase 2 involves restorative efforts, like
provision of tools, jigs, skills training and entrepreneurial develop-
ment trainings to affected workers to help them restore their lost
livelihood. Phase 3 is a follow through program to help beneficiaries
under phase 2 upgrade or expand their livelihood projects.
A month’s worth of public service has put us a step closer towards
concretizing our commitment with the President’s labor reform
agenda. In the days to come, our valued clients can expect greater
services as we strengthen tripartite cooperation, improve systems,
formulate action programs, align our labor policies with international
standards and open our communication channels with the public in
order to deliver fully our mandate.

The title is a play of the Department’s name and the numeral
number 1.
The numeral number 1 signifies Region 1 and oneness of the
DOLE Regional Office 1 and its attached agencies in program
implementation.
Normally, the acronym DOLE 1 is used. However, as this newslet-
ter debuts at the dawn of a new administration’s strengthened
coherent policy and program complementation under a 22-point
labor platform, we deem it more emphatic to affix the number 1
before DOLE to represent both purposes.

L aoag City (Ilocos Norte) - Representatives of construction firms,
manufacturing/industrial companies, hospitals and manpower
service providers from the province of Ilocos Norte attended the first
ever Basic
Occupational
Safety and
H e a l t h
(BOSH) Train-
ing on October
18-22 held at
the Asian Gar-
den Grill and
R e s t a u r a n t
located in this
City.
The five-day
training was
conducted by
the Depart-
ment of Labor and Employment-Ilocos Norte Field Office in partner-
ship with the PEME Consultancy, Inc., an accredited safety training
organization of the DOLE Bureau of Working Condition, and the
Laoag City Ilocos Norte Association of Constructors (LINAC) as a
strategy to institutionalize the DOLE’s OSH program in establish-
ments by building the capacities of qualified personnel to carry out
occupational safety and health standards at the plant level.
“This collaborative effort of the DOLE and various partners from
the private sector translates into action the President’s marching
order of elevating the standards of safety and health in the work-
place to achieve better productivity and profitability,” DOLE 1 Di-
rector Henry John Jalbuena said.
He said, with the conduct of another BOSH training, the govern-
ment is moving closer toward its goal of obtaining broader support
from tripartite partners to its OSH program.
Citing latest official data from the International Labor Organiza-
tion, Jalbuena said that an average of 6,000 people die everyday,
equivalent to one every 15 seconds, due to work connected ailments
or injuries.
He said for the past five years, a total of 13,886 work-related acci-
dents, manufacturing industry being the highest with 5,843, have
been recorded.
“Accidents at the workplace can be prevented, or at least lessened,
by enabling companies to be OSH compliant,” Jalbuena said.
As an offshoot of the training, the representatives of the participat-
ing establishments crafted their respective OSH re-entry plans.
The implementation of these plans will be monitored and evaluated
by the Occupational Safety and Health Center and the DOLE 1. –

Based on the PESO Act’s implementing guidelines, an insti-
tutionalized PESO is in existence by virtue of a Sanggunian
Resolution/Ordinance provided with regular plantilla for staff
and appropriate funds.
In the case of the Municipality of Rosales, the PESO was institu-
tionalized after its Sangguniang Bayan passed SB Ordinance
numbers 3 and 4, respectively creating a PESO and the position
of Labor and Employment Officer III to serve as the PESO man-
ager.– asv w/ report from DOLE-Rosales Field Office
R osales, Pangasinan – The Department of Labor and
Employment-Regional Office 1 has institutionalized
here on October 18 an LGU-based Public Employment Ser-
vices Office, strengthening further long-time partnership
between the Department and the municipal government of
Rosales in the area of employment generation and facilita-
tion.
Happening on the occasion of DOLE-Regional Coordinating
Committee 1 meeting at the DOLE-Rosales Field Office, the
signing of Memorandum of Agreement between Mayor Ri-
cardo V. Revita and Director Henry John S. Jalbuena offi-
cially sealed the commitment of the two entities in promot-
ing gainful employment and in addressing the perennial
problem of job mismatch.
“This milestone is in keeping with President Benigno S.
Aquino’s thrust of creating local job opportunities by facili-
tating exchange of labor market information at all levels,
and with the marching order of Labor Secretary Rosalinda
Dimapilis-Baldoz to intensify public-private partnership as
strategy to solve the labor-mismatch problem,” Jalbuena
said.
According to Jalbuena, their office is committed, under
President Aquino’s 22-point labor and employment agenda,
to establish or institutionalize PESOs in key cities and mu-
nicipalities, as it puts premium on the country’s top re-
source, human resource, to make Filipino workers more
competitive and employable while promoting industrial
peace based on social justice.

OWWA Names Model OFW Families in Region IOWWA Names Model OFW Families in Region I
A dministrator Carmelita S. Dimzon of the Overseas
Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) an-
nounced, on October 4, 2010, the awardees for Model
OFW Family (land-based) and for Model OFW Family (sea
-based) for 2010 in Region I.
The awardees are the families of Mr. CECILIO GAMIT
RAHON, SR. (sea-based) and MANUEL PRESTO
CABRERA (land-based).
Administrator Dimzon made the announcement after
OWWA RWO I OIC ESPERANZA C. COBARRUBIAS
formally submitted the choice of an independent panel of
judges. The panel reviewed the nominations, verified the
qualifications of nominees, and selected the awardees
based on criteria. The screening and selection committee
was composed of the representatives from the TESDA,
POEA, DFA, OWWA, Diocese of San Fernando, La Union,
and headed by the DOLE.
The model OFW families, Dimzon said, deserve acknowl-
edgement for wholesomeness as an OFW family, civic and
community involvement, success in children’s or family
members’ education, and success in managing family fi-
nances in savings or investments.
The RAHON and CABRERA families received, on October
5, their trophies, certificates, prizes, and recognition from
Deputy Administrator Delmer R. Cruz during the award-
ing ceremonies at The Event Center, SM Rosales Pangasi-
nan.
As a young man, OFW Cecilio, now 74 years old, already
possessed the qualities of a hard working man. He worked
as Mess Boy to 3rd Engineer of Sea King in Chittagong
City, Bangladesh. In his work, he developed the enduring
qualities of courage and industry. These qualities also
proved romantically useful for the young Cecilio, as these
enamored his wife, Esther E. Rahon.
Esther, 63 years old, is a very supportive wife. She pa-
tiently raised their six children during the long absence of
her husband, and worked as persistently to support their
family, especially in a place like Manila. They won the
trust and confidence of the employer of Mrs. Rahon, who
entrusted to them their house when they migrated to
America. With their love and support to each other, their
children were able to pursue their education.
In his free time, Cecilio also pursued his studies.
When the couple and their young children moved to Pinili,
Ilocos Norte, Cecilio was recommended to take the exami-
nation for Seaman of Marina Shipping Lines. Lucky
enough, he joined the company International Routes. His
training from the San Miguel Lines made him an excel-
lent Seaman.
To provide a good life for their family, Cecilio braved the
seas while his wife took care of their children. Husband
and wife shared in the responsibilities of rearing their chil-
dren and managing their resources. Esther, though from
Sorsogon, soon learned the Ilocano trait of being thrifty,
which paid off, because the couple was able to buy parcels
of land despite their sundry expenses.
Just like other couples, Cecilio and Esther also went
through rough times. Once, bad elements took from them
valuables like television set, their harvest of garlic and
groceries. But their strong faith in the Lord gave them
strength to continue.
The couple’s strong sense of responsibility has been passed
on to their children who, at young age, learned to balance
household or field work and education. Esther recounts
how she always felt pride going up the stage to pin the
awards received by her children for excelling in school.
When their older children were employed, they committed
themselves to help their younger siblings in their school-
ing. Some of them have their respective families now.
When the time came for Cecilio to retire, he found good
quality and ample time to be with his wife, children and
farm work. He continues to raise cattle, carabao and goats.
He was also able to set up a rice mill.
Cecilio is also an active member of the following Pinili-
based organizations: Zanjera Pinili, Senior Citizen, and
Couples for Christ.
The 62-year-old Mr. Manuel P. Cabrera started out as a
teacher before he became an OFW in London, England,
and later on, a politician.
He is married to Rosita T. Borromeo, a Midwifery graduate
at Marian Colleges in Manila. As an OFW, she worked as
a chambermaid, assistant housekeeper and nursing auxil-
iary in England. She is now managing the family business,
Jackville Rice Mill located in Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
Manuel and Rosita have 3 children. The eldest, Marvin B.
Cabrera, is a working student at the Greenwich Univer-
sity, London, England. He and his wife Gina Mae are both
based in London.
The second child, Manuel B. Cabrera Jr., was born with a
physical disability. He finished secondary education at
Gobowen College for the disabled. Notwithstanding his
physical disability, Manuel Jr. is able to help in their farm
and rice mill. He is touted as the “lucky charm” of the
family.
Roma B. Cabrera, the only daughter, finished her BS Psy-
chology course at the Saint Louis University, Baguio City,
and went on to pursue higher studies at the Institute of
Psychiatry, King’s College, London. At present, (see page 5)

“The very essence of SENA is to prevent labor and employ-
ment issues between and among workers and employers from
ripening into full-blown labor cases by encouraging the ami-
cable settlement of these issues,” Jalbuena explained.
Earlier, Labor Chief Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz declared:
“The 30-day mandatory conciliation-mediation system is the
way to go towards industry self-regulation and “de-
judicialization”. It will lessen government intervention, de-
clog case dockets, and equip ITCs with capability to amicably,
peacefully, and speedily settle labor disputes, thus, avoiding
expensive litigation that could erupt into all-out, debilitating
strikes and lock-outs that benefit no one.”
The SENA 30-day mandatory conciliation-mediation is appli-
cable to cases falling under the administrative and quasi-
judicial functions of all DOLE offices and attached agencies,
in particular: 1) termination or suspension of employment
issues; 2) claims for any sum of money, regardless of amount;
3) intra-union and inter-union issues, after exhaustion of
administrative remedies; 4) unfair labor practice (ULP); 5)
closures, retrenchments, redundancies, temporary lay-offs; 6)
OFW cases; and 7) any other claims arising from employer-
employee relationship.
Jalbuena said, in case the parties fail to reach an agreement
within the prescribed period, the unresolved issues shall be
referred to the appropriate agency which has jurisdiction over
the dispute, or if both parties agree, to voluntary arbitration.

she works as Independent Mental Capacity Advocate with the
IMCA Team in London.
In terms of Community Involvement, Manuel organized medical
missions in the barangay; organized sports tournament like bike
racing, basketball and other ballgames both for the youth and
adults; gift-giving to his indigent constituents, and sponsoring of
prizes during Pa-Bingo Socials.
As President of the Kalikasan IPM Farmers Federation, he initi-
ated a livelihood project called Mushroom Culture Demo, where
seeds were distributed to the farmers.
Manuel owns the following businesses: Roseman Apartments lo-
cated at Malabago, Mangaldan, Pangasinan; Juan A. Cabrera
Village, a new residential development also located in Malabago;
Jackville Rice Mill and M. Cabrera’s Farm located at Pugaro,
Manaoag, Pangasinan.
He held positions as officer and member in various socio, civic and
religious organizations, such as Farmers Association, Mangaldan
IPM Farmers Federation, Pangasinan Provincial IPM Kasakalika-
san Federation, Holy Name Society, Parish Pastoral Council St.
Thomas Aquinas, Malabago Mangaldan Multi-Purpose Coopera-
tive, Malabago Barangay Pastoral Council, Mangaldan Federation
of NGOs, Punong Barangay Malabago Mangaldan. At present, he
is a Municipal Councilor of Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
The Rahon and Cabrera families qualify for the national Model
OFW Family of the Year Award 2010. The national awardees will
be chosen from 17 regional MOFYA (sea-based) and 17 regional
MOFYA (land-based) candidates.
President Benigno S. Aquino III has been invited to preside over
the national MOFYA awarding ceremony in December 2010. The
sponsors in Region I for the 2010 MOFYA are Globe Telecom,
Banco de Oro, and SM Rosales. - owwa

New officials Head DOLE 1 INFO and IMSD
T he Department of Labor and Employment-
Regional Office 1’s Ilocos Norte Field
Office and Internal Management Services
Division has new heads in the person of
Engracio “Bong” Q. Bailon and Veronica
“Vecs” A. Corsino.
By virtue of Office Order No. 20, se-
ries of 2010, Bailon, Chief Adminis-
trative Officer and former IMSD
Chief, assumed post on September
23, 2010, a day before the last report-
ing day of DOLE-INFO’s former pro-
vincial chief, Atty. Querubin P.
Valentin. Valentin, who already
reached the compulsory retirement age
of 65 smoothly passed on the buck to
Bailon in simple rites held at the DOLE-
INFO.
Having been in the Department for 27 years,
Bailon’s stint in DOLE includes comprehensive experience
in handling administrative concerns, labor relations and
labor standards, developmental programs such as liveli-
hood, and provincial operations.
Foremost, Bailon is an Administrative
Officer, but before becoming such, he
was first a Project Evaluation Officer
and a Supervising Labor and Em-
ployment Officer at the DOLE 1’s
now-defunct Workers Amelioration
and Welfare Division. For more or
less than a year in each assign-
ment, he had a chance to head the
Labor Relations Division, Dagupan
Field Office, La Union Field Office
and the Technical Services Support
Division.
On even date, Ms. Veronica A. Corsino,
Senior Labor and Employment Officer,
also took over the Internal Management
Services Division as the Officer-In-Charge.
In her 14 years in the Department, Corsino worked her
way up from Senior Clerk to her present post. Her exem-
plary performance and competence in all positions she
held have effortlessly obtained the confidence of manage-
ment in her ability to manage the affairs of the IMSD. -

which lay down the basis for the creation of the school-based
PESO. Back, left to right: Fiorello B. Surell, Head of the DOLE La
Union Field Office, Teresa N. Bonavente, DOLE Supervising Labor
and Employment Officer, and Carmen Jo-an Viloria, Lorma
Human Resource Manager, witness the signing of the agreement..
T he first school-based Public Employment Services
Office in the province of La Union, and the second
in region 1, has been established recently after De-
partment of Labor and Employment-Region 1 Director
Henry John S. Jalbuena signed a Memorandum of
Agreement with Lorma Colleges, Inc., Executive Di-
rector Jose P. Mainggang.
Jalbuena said that this latest development is in har-
mony with President Benigno S. Aquino III’s 22-point
labor and employment policy agenda which seeks to
address the labor-mismatch problem through better
and strengthened coordination among various social
players.
He said the presence of the PESO within the school
will facilitate the registration of its college graduates
in the Skills Registry System (SRS), which was
launched by President Aquino at the opening of the
10th National PESO Congress held from October 5-7
in Tagaytay City.
The SRS will capture the available skills and qualifi-
cations of jobseekers in a national registry which will
be posted in the PhilJobnet, the country’s official job
portal, where employers can easily find the needed
manpower for their industries.
“For years now, the Lorma Colleges, Inc. has been an
active partner of the DOLE in carrying out its man-
date of achieving full, decent and productive employ-
ment. It has already hosted several job fairs, and as
an academic institution, it continually strives to be a
center of excellence in the north, especially in its
medicine-related courses,” Jalbuena said.
As outlined in the agreement, the Lorma Colleges,
Inc. will provide office space, equipment and supplies
for the operation of the PESO; appoint/designate a full
-time PESO manager and other personnel to manage,
operate and maintain the PESO; maintain an up-to-
date Manpower Registry and Skills Profile of its col-
lege graduates; and submit to the DOLE-RO 1
monthly accomplishment reports.
The DOLE-RO 1, for its part, will provide technical
assistance, training services and other related assis-
tance necessary to enhance the operational capacity of
the school-based PESO in its employment facilitation
services.
“So far, our office has already established 125 munici-
pal, 4 provincial and 2 school-based PESOs, or a total
of 131. The establishment and institutionalization of
PESOs is one of our strategies to assist jobseekers in
their search for the right job and to promote employ
ment,” Jalbuena said. – asv
