Palace welcomes results of latest Labor Force Survey
December 11, 2015
Malacañang on Thursday welcomed the results of the latest round of
the Labor Force Survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA), which showed another decline in unemployment.
In a statement, Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda noted that from 6 percent in October 2014, the unemployment rate further decreased to 5.7 percent, which is the lowest figure recorded in the past decade.
“We are pleased to announce that the latest round of the Labor Force Survey, as released today by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), registered another decline in unemployment. From 6.0 percent in October 2014, the unemployment rate further dropped to 5.7 percent—the lowest figure recorded in the past decade. Coupled with an improvement in employment and a decrease in underemployment, this serves as an indication of our economy’s robust growth. Our employment rate is currently estimated at 94.3 percent—an increase from last year’s 94.0 percent—while underemployment decreased to 17.6 percent from 18.7 percent in October 2014,” said the Palace official.
Secretary Lacierda said that according to the PSA report, employment growth was led by the services and industry sectors, which hired an additional 440,000 and 169,000 workers, respectively over the past year.
“The report also indicates that our youth unemployment rate decreased to 13.6 percent from 14.2 percent in October 2014, and that this decline in the number of unemployed was recorded across all educational levels,” he added.
“In the interest of comparability, the above figures exclude data from the province of Leyte. Due to the devastation caused by Typhoon Yolanda, Leyte was not included in the October 2014 round of the Labor Force Survey,” he further said.
Lacierda attributed the results of the October 2015 labor force survey to the Aquino administration’s Daang Matuwid platform that seeks to translate good governance into good economics.
“This encouraging report once again reflects the positive fruits of Daang Matuwid. Indeed, a government that invests in its people is bound to reap rewards for future generations. By pursuing policies and programs that widen opportunities for our citizens, the administration lays the foundation for a better future marked by increased access to education and health services. Given all these improvements, we trust that the Filipino people will make the right choice during next year’s referendum and vote for continuity, prosperity, and inclusivity—an accelerated Daang Matuwid,” said Lacierda.

During the celebration of Juvenile Justice and Welfare Week, the Department of Education (DepEd) emphasized the need to ensure protection for children-at-risk and children in conflict with the law especially those vulnerable to exploitation.
“Hindi pwedeng mawala ang Department of Educaton sa child protection. Tayo ang tulay sa reintegration ng mga children at risk at mga children in conflict with the law,” Undersecretary for Legal and Legislative Affairs Atty. Alberto Muyot said during the workshop on the guidelines and procedures on the management of children-at-risk and children in conflict with the law as detailed in DepEd Order No. 18, s. 2015.
The seminar workshop, which gathered Education Program Supervisors and Regional Guidance Counselors from the National Capital Region, is part of the celebration of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Week.
Usec. Muyot highlighted the need to protect children from early pregnancy, prostitution, drug use, smoking, alcoholism, violence, and suicide. These behaviors have been identified by the University of the Philippines Population Institute, through the Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study in 2013, as risky and exploitive among adolescents.
The said DepEd guidelines are anchored on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and promote non-discrimination, the best interest of the child, the child’s survival and development, and child participation. The guidelines provide detailed procedures on case management of children at risk and children in conflict with the law.
Children-at-risk behave in a way that can be harmful to themselves or to others. They also run the risk of being exploited to come into conflict with the law. Children in conflict with the law are those under the age of 18 who are alleged as, accused of, or adjudged as, having committed an offense under Philippine laws.
“We have to understand that adolescents are naturally curious. Everything adults do, they would want to try without thinking of the consequences; that is how they are and that is completely normal. This kind of curiosity—reckless as it may be—is part of their development. We cannot hinder them from their self-discovery, but it is our duty to minimize the risks and to protect them from harm,” Muyot said.
Muyot said that DepEd, as a member of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC), should ensure that children are protected whatever their backgrounds are. “We have no room for discrimination in DepEd, we have reintegration programs for children in conflict with the law,” he added.
Aside from the presentation of the salient features of DO 18, s. 2015, the two-day seminar workshop included comprehensive discussions and exchange of ideas on Alternative Delivery Modes, psycho-social interventions, restorative justice strategies and practices, and incident reporting and monitoring guidelines.
