By Olga Virginia A. Demata

BUTUAN CITY, May 1 (PIA) – The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Caraga is once again spearheading this year’s 114th Labor Day celebration with various activities regionwide.

The Philippines’ annual Labor Day celebration commemorates the advocacy of Union Obrera Democratica de Filipinas on rights of labor force during the American occupation. Today, Labor Day is not only celebrated through parades, job fairs, bazaars and the likes, but also with rallies and demonstrations of the labor sector.

On Sunday, the celebration started with a foot parade from Guingona Park to the main venue at Robinsons Place Butuan. Part of the festivity was a thanksgiving mass and a short program that included the reading of the message of the Honorable Secretary of DOLE Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz and the launching of the Employee of the Year Award.

A job fair was conducted by DOLE Agusan del Norte province at Robinsons Place Butuan. A total of 20 local employers and five overseas employers participated with 2,684 and 5,290 vacancies, respectively.

Simultaneously, the field offices in Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Province of Dinagat Islands also conducted activities for the Labor Day celebration with the informal sector through orientation on the different programs and services of DOLE, among others.

The DOLE regional office hopes to highlight the reality that the country’s workers continues to prove to be partners of the government for economic development and positive social changes.

The 114th Labor Day celebration is anchored on the theme “Kinabukasan Sigurado sa Disenteng Trabaho.” (DOLE-13/PIA-Caraga)
