VISION
Attainment of full, decent and
productive employment for the Filipino
workforce.
MISSION
To promote gainful employment
opportunities, develop human
resources, protect workers and promote
their welfare, and maintain industrial
peace.
On January 1977, Presidential Decree 879 mandated the creation of DOLE Regional Office IV (DOLE RO IV). The Regional Office was
based in Quezon City with jurisdiction over the towns of Rizal and the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Aurora, Quezon, Romblon, Palawan,
Marinduque and Mindoro.
On October 1, 1998, in order to efficiently and better serve the public under its jurisdiction, the DOLE RO IV was relocated in Calamba
City, Laguna - the present site of government offices in Region IV-A.
Five years later, with Executive Order No. 103, signed by Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Region IV was divided into Region IV-A and
IV-B. The mainland portion of the Region is now known as CALABARZON (IV-A) composed of the provinces of Cavite, Laguna,
Batangas, Rizal and Quezon. The island provinces of Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan are collectively known as
MIMAROPA (IV-B). However, Aurora Province was turned over to Region III due to its immediacy to Central Luzon.
At present, DOLE Regional Office IV-A has a manpower compliment of 92 personnel with five (5) field offices - Cavite Provincial Office,
Laguna Provincial Office, Batangas Provincial Office, Rizal Provincial Office and Quezon Provincial Office; and with three(3) main
support offices namely Mediation Arbitration and Legal Services Unit (MALSU), Technical Support and Services Division (TSSD), and
Internal Management Services Division (IMSD).

2012 has been a remarkable milestone for Cavite on its
implementation of the program benefitting 54 former child
laborers who are now in school. Project Angel Tree does not
only gather the wishes of these children, but gave them a
chance to reach their dreams through educational
assistance from their benefactors and sponsors as well as
livelihood assistance for their parents. The project was
sustained for 5 years which started in 2007 and looking
forward to end the cycle of child labor towards a child
labor-free Philippines. On April 2012, a child scholar

year 2012-2013, eight (8) former child laborers are enrolled
in college under the scholarship program of San Miguel
Foundation, Inc. while there are still enrolled in elementary
and high school levels.
To sustain the educational support of these children, DOLECPO together with its program partners conceptualized a
fund raising project entitled “Donate A Used Can: Send a
Child Laborer to School Project.” This fund raising project
aimed to collect used beverage cans and the sale proceeds
is utilized to support the educational needs of the children.

The Spark of DOLE and TESDA
Partnership
“Skills and Livelihood Trainings for Batangueños”
OLE Region IV-A believes that in addition to the
knowledge gained from formal education, technical
know-how gained from actual training also plays a
major factor towards the attainment of a full decent and
productive employment. And, the Batangas Provincial
Office, in partnership with the Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is successful in
providing such skills and expertise through the Training for
Work Scholarship Program-Special Program for the
Employment of Students (TWSP-SPES). The program aims
to equip qualified youth with the competence in their
chosen field. In 2012, the DOLE-BPO – TESDA-Batangas
collaboration was able to make possible the aspiration of
100 young Batangueños when they graduated from the
program. They were awarded National Competence II
Certificate and their skills profiles are posted on the PhilJobNet.
Twenty-five (25) out-of-school youths from each
municipality of Laurel and Agoncillo benefitted from the
first batch of the program.
12
The student-beneficiaries underwent training on Computer
Hardware Servicing for forty-nine (49) days. In addition to
the knowledge and skills, each beneficiary received a total
of P5,556.60 allowance. The realization of a gainful
employment came very soon to some of the studentbeneficiaries when they failed to personally receive their
certificates and checks because they are already working in
an electronic company.
Meanwhile, the 2nd batch, wherein each participant
received P5,876.00 for their fifty-two (52) days Consumer
Electronics Training. The beneficiaries came from the
municipalities of San Nicolas and Tingloy.
No to Illegal Recruiters!
DOLE CALABARZON warns jobseekers and OFWs to be
vigilant against illegal recruitment
n 2012, DOLE Batangas Provincial, armed with its desire
to eradicate illegal recruiters in the Province and with
the assistance of Philippine National Police (PNP)
Batangas City, had arrested two (2) illegal recruiters on
separate occasion.
The first incident happened on April 28, 2012 during the
pre-registration for the annual May 1 Job Fair when the
DOLE-BPO learned of the complaint of four residents of
Ibaan, Batangas filed at PNP-Batangas City against Mr.
Joseph Santos Cañada for allegedly collecting P5,000 from
each applicant in exchange for deployment to SM Batangas
City. The mall management however denied having any
connection with Mr. Cañada, as employee or recruitment
officer. The DOLE-BPO, on the other hand, issued a
certification that Mr. Cañada had no authorization to
conduct recruitment, thus, he was arrested for illegal
collection of fees.
On October 2012, Misses Jehma Macaraeg, Angelica
Madillo, Jonalyn Sabando, Leny Macasaet, Marlyn Eizel
Madrigal and Roselle Dela Cruz and Mr. Jeffryl Peña,
all registered nurses, informed the DOLE-BPO of the
allegedly recruitment activity of a group of individuals
operating in the Province, demanding P50,000 from each
nurse-applicant on the promised of an overseas
employment. An entrapment plan with the PNP Batangas
City and Misses Macaraeg and Madillo was immediately
executed which resulted to the arrest of Ms. Gina Burog.
According to the nurse-complainants, Gina Burog together
with a certain Emie Gabi and Levy Paca, guaranteed them
nursing jobs in Singapore and is demanding P50,000.00
from each applicant for processing of documents. Some
applicants who either paid the full amount or made partial
payment had already undergone medical exams but neither
receipt nor medical result was given to them. As cases
progressed, additional four (4) complainants came in the
open, Misses Celeste De Castro, Florence Aguilar, Charissa
Manalo and Aireen Baes. Misses Macasaet and Madrigal
testified that they were able to go to Singapore through
Ms. Burog’s group with a tourist visa at hand, hence, failed
to work as nurses.
Both Mr. Cañada and Ms. Burog are facing large scale
recruitment and estafa cases at the Regional Trial Court of
Batangas City while accomplices of Ms. Burog are still at
large.

CHILD LABOR PROGRAM: A Race to Freedom
ear 2012 marks the 4th year of the Department’s
perseverance to end child labor in Quezon Province.
With its strong partnership with International Labor
Organization (ILO-FAO), it is perceived that Quezon shall be
Child Labor Free province. Continuous and sustainable
projects, developed through various in-depth action
programs of the Provincial Child Labor Committee (PCLC)
headed by DOLE-QPO were successfully implemented.
“Taking Children Out of Child Labor through a Functional
and Institutionalized Child Labor Monitoring and Integrated
Services Delivery System in the Communities”—guides the
Committee for its program implementation.
Lucena City, Calauag and Catanauan, being the priority
areas conform to different policies for the elimination of
about 2007 profiled child laborers. Launching of Child Labor
Monitoring and Integrated Service Delivery System (CLMISDS) encompassed 18 barangays from Lucena, Calauag
and Catanauan respectively wherein the CLM Volunteers
were identified to strictly and closely monitor the
development of the program.
One of the major breakthroughs was the rescue of 22 child
laborers who work as “tahahila ng banyera ng isda at yelo;
tagabuhat ng bagahe; nasama sa bangka at tagasisid” in
Dalahican Fish Port in Lucena City last March 2, 2012.
Action-packed activity headed by Mr. Virgilio Magsino
(DOLE-QPO), Col. Ramon Balauag (PNP), Ms. Rhadzma
Umilin (CSWDO) and other concerned individuals brought
the Sagip Batang Manggagawa (SBM) of the Department to
success. In relation with the rescue, the parents of the child
laborers were awarded with livelihood assistance worth
Php176,000.00 during the visit of Usec. Lourdes Trasmonte
last September 10, 2012 in Dalahican, Lucena City to serve
as subsistence for their living. 72 child laborers were also
given educational packages as initial support for them to
return to school.
The annual celebration of Project Angel Tree was held last
December 8, 2012 at Lucena East I Elementary School. OICARD Milagros Mata graced the event in partnership with
the PCLC, private individuals and Philippine Dental
Association (PDA) that put smiles among the 157 child
laborers.
With the viable efforts of the Department and its partners,
children will be freed from child labor.
