MORE THAN a hundred participants from labor groups in the region joined the Bangsamoro Labor Summit organized by the Office of the Member of Parliament Romeo Sema.
The two-day summit, which is in
partnership with the International Labour Organization, aims to provide a venue
for development partners to discuss, clarify, and address concerns on the
proposed Bangsamoro Labor and Employment Code and other labor and
employment-related measures.
In his video message, Bangsamoro
Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim called for the immediate passage of the proposed
bills, which include the Bangsamoro Magna Carta for Workers in the Informal
Economy; Bangsamoro Tripartism and Social Dialogue; the Bangsamoro Public
Service Eligibility Equivalency Act; and the Bangsamoro Labor Justice
Administration Act.
"The government of the day
is one with the committee in calling for the immediate passage of the
much-needed legislation to make the lives of the labor force much better,"
Chief Minister Ebrahim said.
MP Sema, chair of the Committee
on Labor and Employment, reiterated the importance of the active involvement of
Bangsamoro workers in exercising their rights to participate in policy and
decision-making as enunciated in the Bangsamoro Organic Law. (LTAIS-Public
