Secretary Laguesma led the signing of the MOA that aims to strengthen the inter-agency connection between DOLE, DTI, and PEZA on labor and employment concerns in ecozones, especially in the areas of labor education, employment facilitation, dispute prevention, and settlement, and compliance with labor laws, social legislations, and occupational safety and health standards.
The MOA provides for the establishment of a Tripartite Advisory Council (TAC) and Ecozone Tripartite Working Committees (ETWC) consistent with Republic Act No. 10395 and Section 38 of Republic Act No. 7916.
