We focused our accomplishments and best practices on five (5) Major Final Outputs of our Office Performance Commitment and Review which are Employment Facilitation and Manpower Development, Employment Relations, Standard Enforcement and Protection, Employment Enhancement, Empowerment and Welfare, as well as Social Partnership Promotion, and Institutional Support. For in the midst of limited resources, unbeatable deadlines, hectic schedules, and everything that goes with the attainment of our goals, we have surmounted these encounters and achieved more than what was expected of us. Even our five-month journey towards ISO 9001:2008 has encouraged us to go the extra mile in accomplishing our targets and ended the year with a bang through our ISO 9001:2008 Attestation. These feat were realized through the efforts of my DOLE-X regional and provincial teams particularly the unwavering support and commitment of our partners and stakeholders, like the LGUs, NGAs, private/business sector, Labor and People’s Organizations. Our convergence made a difference in the lives of the people of Northern Mindanao. The Single Entry Approach collaboration with the Regional Coordinating Committee added meaning to teamwork, and synergy. I and my staff are always grateful to the Central Leadership for motivating us to exceed our objectives in the name of public service.
