Scholarship Program (TWSP) offers scholarship to poor and marginalized individuals to train in
skills needed by industries (e.g. agri-business, tourism, IT-BPM, semiconductor and electronics,
automotive, manufacturing industries, logistics, general infrastructure). The program is a key
strategy in improving the reach of quality TVET to the grassroots.
This is implemented in coordination with private sector partners who work with government in
identifying skills, developing training standards and actual training of beneficiaries. The TWSP
scholars are entitled to free training and competency assessment delivered through the
participating tech-voc institutions.

Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications
The Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications aims to enhance the mobility of
professionals through exchange of information on the educational systems and the registration
and licensing policies and procedures in different countries. The process requires foreign
professionals to possess the professional qualifications, valid licenses, compliance to
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements, number of years in active practice
and a declaration that there are no pending legal or administrative proceedings against them.
The ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework (ASEAN QRF) is the common reference
framework for national qualifications frameworks across ASEAN countries. It enables
comparisons of qualifications across countries that will support recognition of qualifications,
facilitate lifelong learning, promote and encourage credit transfer and learner mobility, promote
worker mobility, and lead to better understood and higher quality qualifications systems.
The Philippines Qualifications Framework (PQF) is the country’s National Qualifications
Framework (NQF) in the ASEAN context. It is a national policy that describes the levels of
educational qualifications and sets the standards for qualification of knowledge, skills and
values. The PQF was established in 2012 to:
(a) establish national standards and levels for outcomes of education and training, skills and
competencies;
(b) promote quality by ensuring standards are met by education and training providers or
authorities who issue qualifications;
(c) facilitate comparison among levels and contents of qualifications; and
(d) promote access to learning and transfers to higher levels of education and training by
clarifying the entry points to qualifications.
The PQF is composed of eight (8) level of basic education, technical-vocational education, and
higher education.

The Labor Laws Compliance System reformed the inspectorate system by combining
developmental and regulatory approaches toward fostering a culture of voluntary
compliance under Department Order No. 131 – 13 or the new Labor Laws Compliance
System.
This departs from the old inspectorate system where Labor inspectors were seen as
“police” and avoided by establishments. The new Labor Laws Compliance System has
an ISO-type assessment of compliance with corrective actions and free technical
assistance, using electronic checklists of various laws applicable to companies and an
online system of generating reports. The online system enables real time reporting of
results of company assessment visits to avoid manipulation of findings and incidence of
corruption.

Conciliation-mediation is a mode of dispute settlement that brings together two
disputing parties to negotiate and settle their differences. It is a process of rational and
orderly discussion of differences between the parties to a dispute under the guidance of
a Conciliator-Mediator.
The DOLE, through the National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB), promotes
conciliation-mediation as the preferred mode of resolution of unfair labor practices and
bargaining deadlock issues to prevent notice of strikes/lockout and preventive
mediation cases from maturing into actual work stoppages. In case of actual work
stoppage, conciliation-mediation mode services continue to settle the disputes at the
earliest possible time to prevent or minimize its effect to the workers, company and the
economy.

Single Entry Approach is a reform measure institutionalized through Department Order
No. 107-10 to effect a faster, fairer and less expensive settlement of labor issues and to
prevent such issues from maturing into actual labor cases.
It is an option provided by the DOLE for workers in the filing of cases with conciliation
as the entry point. If settlement is not reached within 30 days, the parties can elevate
the issue to the appropriate offices of the Department.
SenA institutionalizes the 30-day mandatory conciliation-mediation of all labor cases
that is being implemented at the regional and provincial offices of DOLE, as well as in
other offices and agencies, particularly the NLRC, NCMB, ECC, POEA and OWWA.

To promote better labor market governance, the DOLE continues to enhance and expand
workers and management participation in labor and employment policy formulation through
tripartism and inclusive social dialogue.
From an executive order issued by the late and former President Corazon Aquino,
tripartism has become a law which recognizes the National Tripartite Industrial Peace
Council as an institution, including its sub-committees in the regional and industry level.
Industry tripartite councils draft and review policies rules and regulations on labor and
employment, promotion of productivity improvement programs, decent work principles and
serve as sounding board on industry issues particularly in Key Employment Generators
(KEGS). ITCs also develop VCGPs to promote industry self regulation.
The VCGP is a set of voluntary minimum standards on the social and employment aspects
of the industry. It may deal with hiring and firing of employees, education and training,
health and safety, enforcement of labor standards or improvement of working conditions,
dispute settlement, or social dialogue. It allows the industry social partners to voluntarily
self regulate their engagement and for government to assume a facilitative role.

The DOLE, through the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) and the Philippine
Overseas Labor Offices (POLOs), intensifies its efforts to ensure that OFWs, particularly those in
vulnerable occupations, are properly documented as a form of protection.
The POEA evaluates and processes the documents of applicants for overseas employment to ensure that
their contracts conform to the standards and requirements governing the employment of Filipino workers
overseas; and issues the Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) to certify that they have valid
overseas employment contracts to work overseas.
To facilitate faster processing of documents, the POEA implements the following:


New Hires Online Services for Recruitment and Manning Agencies. These involve the
submission to the POEA by licensed agencies recruiting land-based and sea-based workers of their
new hires’ employment documents using the Internet, and paying the processing fees online. The
online services, which promote paperless transactions, save time, track updates, and costs less,
include the e-Payment System for Agency-Hired Workers, Online Recruitment Application on Special
Recruitment Authority (SRA) and Letter of Authority.
Balik-Manggagawa (BM) Online Processing System. This is a web-based facility that enables the
Balik-Manggagawa (BM) or vacationing OFW to apply online for Overseas Employment Certificate
(OEC) and have the approved OEC printed by him/her anywhere, anytime. The system aims to
expedite the issuance of OEC to vacationing OFWs who will return to their respective foreign
employers/ principals. The opening page of the system contains an instructional video that will guide
the BM in using the facility.
OUTCOME 3
Strengthened Social Protection
for Vulnerable Workers
Documentation of OFWs
OFWs on vacation returning to the same employer/principal and jobsite, with employment
visa/work permit, have a record in the POEA database, and previously issued OEC/E-Receipt under
the same employer/principal may avail of the BM Online Processing System.
On-site, the POLOs conduct verification of overseas employment documents to ensure that the Job
Orders are authentic and sufficient, and the terms and conditions of employment in the individual
contracts are fair, decent, and just, in accordance with the Philippine Laws, ensuring that labor and social
welfare laws in the receiving country are fairly applied to migrant workers and other overseas Filipinos.

barangay, the basic geo-political unit --- the campaign against child labor, foster common
understanding on, and gain public support. It aims to free identified barangays from child labor,
and also to influence change, identify allies, and solicit commitments of support of stakeholders,
specifically government agencies, non-government and faith-based organizations, local chief
executives, private sector establishments, and the parents of child laborers themselves.
The Child-Labor Free Establishment campaign, on the other hand, promotes compliant and
socially responsible business practices. The DOLE has stepped up its campaign against
employment of minors by offering incentives to business that get certified as Child Labor-Free
Establishment. Businesses that get the seal will be entitled to incentives like certificate or
marker of recognition as a child labor-free establishment zone, endorsement for participation of
their employees in the DOLE’s livelihood programs, guaranteed booths in job fairs and exhibits,
slots for training courses of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, as well
as exposure and promotion on DoLE’s Web site.
