MISAMIS ORIENTAL โ Reinforcing its commitment to promoting voluntary compliance with labor laws and occupational safety and health (OSH) standards, the Department of Labor and Employment Regional Office X โ Misamis Oriental Provincial Field Office (DOLE-X MisOr PFO) successfully conducted a series of Technical and Advisory Visits (TAVs) across various localities in Misamis Oriental from July 30 to 31, 2026.
On July 31, a total of 123 micro-establishments participated in a Technical and Advisory Visit held at Pick and Grill Restaurant, Brgy. 23, Gingoog City, in partnership with the Local Government Unit of Gingoog City. The activity aimed to strengthen employers' understanding of labor laws and promote voluntary compliance through technical guidance and capacity-building initiatives.
Participants were oriented on key labor and employment topics, including General Labor Standards, Occupational Safety and Health Standards, Child and Family Welfare, and the Productivity Toolbox. The program also featured an open forum, where employers were given the opportunity to raise labor-related concerns and clarify compliance requirements, followed by a workshop on the TAV Checklist (Assessment) and Action Plan Formulation to assist participating establishments in identifying compliance gaps and developing practical workplace improvement measures.
The activity was facilitated by DOLE labor inspectors Marc Ian O. Clam, Sr. LEO; Emmie Lou C. Sensis, Sr. LEO; Ralph O. Labnao, LEO III; Ruel Ray S. Omahoy, LEO III; Geraldine Achumbre, LEO III; and Franco Juri Fuentes, LEO III, who provided technical assistance and practical recommendations to help employers foster safe, healthy, and productive workplaces.
Meanwhile, from July 30 to 31, DOLE-X MisOr PFO also conducted on-site Technical and Advisory Visits to 15 establishments in the municipalities of Laguindingan, Initao, Claveria, and the City of El Salvador. The visits were spearheaded by Hanna Rhea A. Macarayan, LEO III, who engaged employers and establishment representatives in discussions on labor standards, occupational safety and health, and other workplace concerns while providing advisory services tailored to their respective establishments.
The Technical and Advisory Visit forms part of DOLE's preventive and developmental approach to labor inspection, emphasizing technical assistance, capacity-building, and collaborative partnerships with employers and local stakeholders to achieve and sustain compliance with labor standards. Through these initiatives, establishments are better equipped to address compliance gaps, strengthen labor-management relations, and uphold the rights and welfare of workers.
Through initiatives such as the Technical and Advisory Visit, and in line with the Department's continuing commitment under the leadership of Secretary Francis N. Tolentino, DOLE-X MisOr PFO remains steadfast in promoting decent work, strengthening workplace compliance, and advancing a culture of safe, healthy, and productive workplaces across Misamis Oriental.
