Brgy. San Isidro Optimistic about Eliminating Child Labor

On September 11, 2015, the Barangay Council of San Isidro in General Santos City was able to listen to the programs of DOLE in the matter of eliminating Child-Labor activities in the area. An orientation regarding the awareness of local government unit in the barangays was given by the DOLE held during the Barangay Council Session of San Isidro at the Barangay Hall.

The Philippine Program against Child Labor is a DOLE program mandated to eliminate child-labor activities by prevention advocacies, protection of children, to include prosecution of those found to be in violation on RA 9231 or the Anti-Child Labor Law.

Hon. Brgy. Kagawad Pedro Lacap, Chairman on Committee on Social Services was positive that because of the interventions that DOLE and converging partners will implement, there will be more informed constituents transforming into lesser child-labor activities within their barangay.

Barangays San Isidro, Lagao and City Heights converged on September 12 to continue strengthening advocacies of the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children in their cluster.

Barangay San Isidro has been included in the list of New Frontier and Continuing Barangays in pursuit of inclusive growth through effective Anti-Child Labor mechanisms.
