Allow me to congratulate the distinguished men and women of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines on your Luzon Island Cluster Conference. Cheers to National President Mayor Ma.

One such important program is the Public Employment Service Office or the PESO. Republic Act 10691, the amended PESO Act of 1991 was enacted in October 2015, pursuant to the policy of the State to promote full employment in the country. This was authored by the then Chair of the Senate Committee on Labor and Employment, Senator Jinggoy Estrada, who happens to be with us today. Ito ang mahalagang legacy ni Senator Jinggoy sa ating mga LGUs. The Department of Labor and Employment has embarked on several initiatives to address unemployment and underemployment.

  • State of Land Rights and Land Governance in Eight Asian Countries
    State of Land Rights and Land Governance in Eight Asian Countries Forty Years after the World Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) Founded in 1979, the Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) is a regional association of national and regional networks of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Asia actively engaged in promoting food sovereignty, land rights and agrarian reform, sustainable agriculture, participatory governance, and rural development. ANGOC member networks and partners work in 10 Asian countries together with 3,000 CSOs and community-based organizations (CBOs). ANGOC actively engages in joint field programs and policy discussions with national governments, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), and international financial institutions (IFIs). The complexity of Asian realities and diversity of CSOs highlight the need for a development leadership to service the poor of Asia—providing a forum for articulation of their needs and aspirations as well as expression of Asian values and perspectives. ANGOC is a member of the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR), Indigenous Peoples’ and Community Conserved Areas and Territories (ICCA) Consortium and the International Land Coalition (ILC). Land Watch Asia (LWA) is a regional campaign to ensure that access to land, agrarian reform and sustainable development for the rural poor are addressed in national and regional development agenda. The campaign involves civil society organizations in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines. LWA aims to take stock of significant changes in the policy and legal environments; undertake strategic national and regional advocacy activities on access to land; jointly develop approaches and tools; and, encourage the sharing of experiences on coalition-building and actions on land rights issues.
