The Department of Labor and Employment Regional Office No. 2 (DOLE RO2) through its Cagayan Field Office (CFO) has identified Tuguegarao City as its pilot area for the implementation of the Technical and Advisory Visit (TAV) in the Province of Cagayan. Representatives of the Local Government Unit of Tuguegarao City and DOLE-CFO staff met on May 17, 2023 to discuss the details of the activity.

The meeting was done to solicit the support and assistance of the City for the TAV, one of the agency’s new approach in the Inspectorate Program under Department Order 238 Series of 2023 entitled Rules on the Administration and Enforcement of Labor Standards Pursuant to Article 128 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, As Renumbered, and Republic Act No. 11058 issued last April 12, 2023.

TAV aims to boost the compliance of micro-establishments employing 1 to 9 workers by inviting them and imparting knowledge on Labor as well as Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Standards.

Through the TAV, micro-establishments can determine their gaps in GLS and OSH compliance and can readily formulate their action plan, leading to an increase in the compliance rate of micro-establishments. ###
