Pilipino Star Ngayon</strong></p>
<p>Nilinaw ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) na pinapayagan nang magtrabaho ang mga kabataang nasa edad 15 hanggang 18 taon, kahit pa wala silang work certificates at permits mula sa departamento.</p>
<p>Ang paglilinaw ay gi­nawa ng DOLE bilang tugon sa mga idinudulog sa kanilang katanungan ng mga employer at mga kabataan hinggil sa work certificates ng mga nasa pagitan ng 15-18 anyos na nais nang makapagtra­baho upang makatulong sa kani-kanilang pamilya.<span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p>Sa ipinalabas na Department Advisory 01-08 ng DOLE, nilinaw nito na hindi inoobliga sa ilalim ng batas ang pagkuha ng DOLE certificates ng mga nasabing kabataan bago sila makapagtrabaho.</p>
<p>Ayon kay acting Labor Secretary Arturo Sodusta, dahil dito, hindi dapat na ipagkait ng mga employer ang oportunidad sa mga kabataang nais na magtra­baho nang dahil lamang sa wala silang bitbit na DOLE work permit.</p>
<p>Pinayuhan rin naman ni Sodusta ang mga kaba­taang nasa nabanggit na edad na kumuha ng kopya ng DOLE advisory number 01-08 na maaari nilang gamitin at iprisinta sa mga kompanya na kanilang pinag-aaplayan ng tra­baho.</p>
<p>Ayon pa kay Sodusta, ang mga kabataang nasa edad 15 hanggang 18 ay pinapayagan na ng DOLE na makapagtrabaho bas­ta’t masusunod ang mga kondisyon na isinasaad sa ilalim ng RA 9231 o An Act Providing for the Elimination of the Works Forms of Child Labor and Affording Special Protection for the Working Child) at ang isinasaad ng Labor Code.</p>
<p>Sa ilalim aniya ng RA 9231, walang kabataan ang maaaring pagtraba­huhin sa pagitan ng 10 ng gabi at 6 ng umaga.</p>
<p>Kailangan din umanong mahigpit na sundin ang walong oras lamang na pagtatrabaho sa isang araw para sa mga kaba­taan at hindi lalagpas ng 40 oras kada linggo.</p>
<p>Alinsunod pa rin umano sa nasabing batas, kina­kailangang kumuha ng work permit ang mga kaba­taan na mas bata sa 15 taong gulang na nais mag­trabaho, na pinapayagan sa exceptional situations.</p>

<p>THE government will mark this year’s celebration of the World Day Against Child Labor with the implementation of a four-year project aimed at sending child workers to school, particularly in areas with high incidence of child labor.</p>
<p>Labor Secretary Marianito Roque said the DoLE will sign today an agreement with the World Vision Development Foundation and the Christian Children’s Fund to give child workers access to education.<span id="more-11"></span></p>
<p>The project, dubbed ABK2 (Pag-aaral ng mga Bata Para sa Kinabukasan) or TEACh (Take Every Action for Children), was launched at the DoLE head office in Intramuros, Manila last February.</p>
<p>The DoLE chief said child workers often drop out of school to work and supplement family income.</p>
<p>“To help the children sustain their schooling, the ABK2 project would provide resources and access to relevant education programs to targeted beneficiaries.  Project activities would focus on reducing child workers’ barriers to attending formal school and expanding skills and business based learning opportunities for children ages 15-17 years old,” he said.</p>
<p>“Educating the children while providing their parents with income sources are the long-term solutions seen to break the bondage of poverty that ties child workers and their families to the cycle of child labor,” Roque said.</p>
<p>Parents of the beneficiaries will also be oriented to pro-poor programs that provide wage and livelihood opportunities to improve their economic status. The project will be implemented in the National Capital Region, Bulacan, Camarines Norte, Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Cebu, Leyte, Davao del Sur, and Compostela Valley.</p>
