It is with great pride and a deep sense of purpose that I extend my warmest greetings to all of you as we host this very significant training on the Roll-Out of the Rules of Procedures in the Adjudication of Cases of the Department of Migrant Workers.
Dagupan City is honored to serve as the venue for this important undertaking. Your presence here today reflects a shared commitment to strengthening our systems, enhancing institutional competence, and most importantly, upholding the rights and welfare of our Overseas Filipino Workers—our modern-day heroes.
As a local government, we in Dagupan City stand in full support of national efforts that aim to protect and empower our workers, both here and abroad.
We are equally honored by the presence of distinguished leaders and partners who grace this event: Undersecretary Bernard Olalia (Licensing and Adjudication Services), Assistant Secretary Jerome Alcantara, Ms. Marieta Labong-Dela Cruz (OIC-Director IV, Adjudication Bureau), Director III Maria Bernadine Madamba (Adjudication Bureau), Regional Director Christian Rey Sison of Region I, Dagupan PESO Manager Ms. Joy Siapno, along with Regional Directors from various parts of the country.
Allow me also to commend the leadership of the Department of Migrant Workers for continuously enhancing your systems and processes. This roll-out reflects your dedication to institutional excellence and your responsiveness to the evolving needs of our migrant workforce.
