TAGAYTAY CITY, October 15 โ€“ The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has once again recognized the vital role of Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs) in advancing employment facilitation at the grassroots level and translating national employment goals into local action during this yearโ€™s National PESO Congress.

The event marked the 25th anniversary of Republic Act No. 8759, also known as the PESO Act, which institutionalized a nationwide employment facilitation network through the establishment of PESOs in every province, key city, and other strategic areas across the country.

As the 25th National PESO Congress neared its close, newly appointed Assistant Secretary Joel M. Gonzalez delivered a powerful synthesis of the day's fruitful and productive discussions. He emphasized that even as new technologies and AI transform employment services, the DOLE and PESOs strength will always be in its people.

Asec. Gonzalez highlighted key national strategies such as the Trabaho Para sa Bayan Plan and the PESO Five-Point Agenda, aligning labor supply, demand, and governance to build a future-ready workforce. He also underscored the importance of collaboration with global partners, inclusive employment for all sectors, digital transformation, data-driven decision-making, and the responsible use of AIโ€”enhancing efficiency while preserving ethics, empathy, and accountability.

Employment, he affirmed, is the foundation of national progress, and PESOs play a vital role in empowering workers and communities.

The path ahead calls for stronger institutions, bold innovation, and an unwavering commitment to uplift jobseekers and transform employment servicesโ€”proving that even in the age of AI, people will always lead the way.

In the final plenary of the 25th National PESO Congress, delegates explored how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can revolutionize public employment services while upholding fairness, transparency, and inclusivity.

In her presentation, Ms. Michelle Alarcon, President of the Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Association of the Philippines, emphasized the need for strong governance and human oversight in adopting AI tools for job matching and labor market analytics.

Still on Day 2 of the 25th National PESO Congress, delegates explored how governments and communities can champion inclusive employment for persons with disabilities (PWDs).

In his plenary presentation, Mr. Jeong-Jin Ryu, Executive Director of Employment Promotion of the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities (KEAD), shared Koreaโ€™s strategies in building a society where persons with and without disabilities work together. From mandatory employment quotas to digital upskilling programs, he emphasized that true inclusion thrives when public and private sectors work hand in hand โ€” and when business leaders take the lead in empowering PWDs.

The discussion was further enriched by a panel moderated by Ms. Honorina D. Baga, DOLE Regional Director, featuring Ms. Caroline Dadivas (PESO Roxas City, Capiz โ€“ Region 6), Ms. Gloria Exelza Pamugas (PESO Davao del Norte โ€“ Region 11), and Ms. Sheila B. Llasos, RGC (San Francisco Institute of Science and Technology โ€“ Region 5, JPO). They shared local initiatives and success stories that move beyond compliance โ€” from awareness and skills training to creating workplaces that celebrate ability over disability.

Together, these insights underscored a shared commitment: to make inclusion not just a policy, but a practice that transforms lives and workplaces across the Philippines.

Day 2 of the25th National PESO Congress continued with Plenary Session 2: โ€œGlobal Innovations in Public Employment Services: Insights from International Partners,โ€ featuring Ms. Minako Takasaki, Project Coordinator of the World Association of Public Employment Services (WAPES).

Ms. Takasaki shared valuable insights from the Japanโ€“WAPES Joint Project for the Philippines, emphasizing how Japanโ€™s โ€œHello Workโ€ system โ€” a nationwide network of employment service offices โ€” ensures consistent, high-quality support for jobseekers through strong collaboration among government, schools, and employers. These global lessons, she noted, can help strengthen the PESOs' implementation of their Five-Point Agenda.

The session was followed by a dynamic panel discussion moderated by Regional Director Imelda E. Romanillos (CAR), featuring Atty. Marla Alom (PESO Pasay, NCR), Mr. Mario Esquillo (PESO Olongapo, Region 3), Ms. Imelda Pascual (PESO Alfonso Lista, CAR), and Mr. Vincent Alcantara (University of Batangas, Region 4A).

On Day 2 of the 25th National PESO Congress, delegates took a closer look at how Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs) are leading the rollout of the Trabaho Para sa Bayan Act (TPBA) โ€” the countryโ€™s roadmap for inclusive and sustainable employment.

In his plenary presentation, Director Patrick P. Patriwirawan, Jr. of the Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) underscored the vital role of PESOs as the TPBA's implementing arms โ€” bridging national strategies with local realities.

This was followed by an engaging panel discussion moderated by Regional Director Jason P. Balais (CARAGA), featuring PESO managers and Job Placement Officers who shared their innovative practices in strengthening employment facilitation and community partnerships: Ms. Alma Timtiman (PESO Marinduque, MIMAROPA), Mr. Kim Francisco (PESO Lapu-Lapu City, Region 7), Ms. Loyda Saboy (PESO Tabuk City, CAR), and Ms. Margie B. Janda (Zamboanga Peninsula Polytechnic State University, Region 9).
