THE DEPARTMENT of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Tuesday directed barangays to implement the registration of domestic workers, which is intended to provide them with access to social services and protection from exploitation.
Interior Secretary Eduardo M. Año said only 8% or 3,359 out of the 42,046 barangays nationwide have rolled out a registration program, with the Bicol region having the most registrations under 627 barangays.
“Our barangay officials are integral in realizing the full effect of Batas Kasambahay or the Domestic Worker’s Act in the communities,” Mr. Año said. This despite the Philippines being the only country in Asia and the Pacific that ratified the Domestic Worker’s Convention in 2011, according to the International Labor Organization .
