CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, March 7 (PIA) — The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Regional Director Johnson G. Cañete disclosed in a media interactive forum held on Monday at the DOLE-10 Regional Office that they recently launched the “Child Labor-Free Bukidnon” campaign as part of its child labor prevention and elimination drive.
He said the campaign was piloted in Barangay Butong in the town of Quezon as a survey conducted by the Xavier University revealed that child labor is rampant in the area due to the presence of sugar plantations.
A groundbreaking ceremony of a four-classroom building donated by Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines was held during the launching.
These classrooms will be answered by another four classrooms from the BUSCO Sugar Milling Co. Inc., and the Sugar Industry Foundation Inc. (SIFI), he added.
Cañete emphasized that putting such structures and providing other interventions towards developing a child will help in the prevention and elimination of child labor. He also reiterated that DOLE-10 is continuously monitoring the other provinces for child labor and strengthening its anti-child labor drive to realize a child labor-free Northern Mindanao.
