Sa espesyal na pulong ng National Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (NTIPC), hinikayat ni Kalihim Francis N. Tolentino ang lahat ng sektor na unahin ang kapakanan ng bansa at ng sambayanang Pilipino sa bawat pagpapasya.

Binigyang-diin niya ang kahalagahan ng paggalang sa karapatan ng bawat isa at ng patuloy na pagsusulong ng tripartism at social dialogue, kung saan nababalanse ang mga lehitimong interes ng mga institusyon at ang karapatan ng mga manggagawa na magtatag ng unyon at makipagnegosasyon bilang susi sa matatag, makatarungan, at mapayapang ugnayang paggawa.

Nakipagdiyalogo si Kalihim Francis Tolentino sa mga labor leader upang pakinggan ang kanilang mga hinaing at palakasin ang tripartismo—ang pagtutulungan ng pamahalaan, mga manggagawa, at mga employer sa pagsusulong ng makatarungan, maayos, at mapayapang ugnayan sa paggawa.

Mas malinaw na direksyon, mas mabilis na serbisyo, mas maraming oportunidad para sa manggagawang Pilipino.

Sa DOLE-Wide Mid-Year Performance Assessment, inilatag ni Secretary Francis Tolentino ang walong pangunahing direksyon ng Kagawaran na magsisilbing gabay sa pagpapatupad ng mga programa at reporma para sa natitirang bahagi ng taon.

Alinsunod sa layunin ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na maiangat ang buhay at mapangalagaan ang dignidad ng bawat manggagawang Pilipino, patuloy na isusulong ng DOLE ang mga inisyatibang magbubukas ng mas maraming dekalidad na trabaho, magpapalawak ng proteksiyong panlipunan, magpapabilis ng access sa labor justice, at magpapahusay sa paghahatid ng serbisyo publiko.

Bagong direksyon. Mas matatag na DOLE. Mas maunlad na manggagawang Pilipino.

Cagayan de Oro City - In line with the continuing implementation of labor reforms under the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the DOLE Northern Mindanao formally convened the organizational meeting and reconstitution of the Agribusiness Industry Tripartite Council (ITC), and Manufacturing ITC on August 4, 2026, here.

The undertaking was conducted pursuant to DOLE Department Order (DO) No. 256, Series of 2026, otherwise known as the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 10395, which mandates the strengthening and reconstitution of ITCs to ensure that their composition, membership, and sectoral representation are aligned with the updated provisions of the Revised IRR.

The ITC serves as a continuing mechanism for industry-specific tripartite consultation and meaningful social dialogue among government, employers, and workers. Through the ITCs, industry stakeholders collaboratively address labor and employment concerns, formulate consensus-based recommendations, promote decent work, strengthen labor-management cooperation, and advance industrial peace and productivity within their respective industries.

A major highlight of the organizational meeting was the election of the chairpersons who will lead the newly reconstituted councils.

For the Agribusiness ITC, the elected chairpersons are Rimart R. Ritazo, Independent Union President of Woodland Farms Independent Labor Union (WOFAILU) representing the labor sector; and Mae Allyn Linaac, Plantation HR Head of Del Monte Philippines, Inc.–Camp Phillips Plantation, representing the employer sector.

For the Manufacturing ITC, the elected chairpersons are: Erwin M. Bernabe, Union President of the Mindanao Sugar Workers Union–National Congress of Unions in the Sugar Industry of the Philippines–Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (MSWU-NACUSIP-TUCP) from Busco Sugar Milling Co., Inc., representing the labor sector; and Henedine Hope Namoca, HR Business Partner of Nestlé Philippines, Inc., representing the employer sector.

During the meeting, both councils unanimously approved ITC Resolutions "𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥–𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐨; 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨. 𝟐𝟓𝟔, 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔; 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐬' 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧."

The resolution formally designates the elected chairpersons as the official representatives of their respective ITCs to the Regional Tripartite Industrial Peace Council–Northern Mindanao, while reaffirming the councils' commitment to strengthening tripartism and supporting the implementation of DOLE's labor and employment programs.

DOLE-X Assistant Regional Director Norman L. Uyvico emphasized that the reconstitution of the ITCs represents a renewed commitment to collaborative governance and stronger labor-management relations in the region.

The organizational meeting likewise reinforces the policy direction of DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino, who continues to champion tripartism as a cornerstone of effective labor governance. Under his leadership, DOLE DO No. 256, revitalizes ITCs as dynamic platforms for consultation, cooperation, and consensus-building, ensuring that labor and management actively participate in shaping responsive labor policies, resolving industry concerns, enhancing productivity, and promoting decent work across all sectors.
