The search seeks to
recognize deserving workers in the city aimed at promoting strong morale and
efficiency of workers.
“We are here to recognize
ordinary but important members of the society,” said Nellie R. Saberon, TIPC
Vice-chairman for Management Sector.
“There are three sectors given importance in
tripartism. We have the worker, employer and the government,” explained Angelita
S. Collyer, head of the Livelihood and Skills Development Enhancement Center
(LSDEC).
The search has five
categories, namely, the sales clerk category sponsored by the Dipolog Chamber
of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), utility worker category sponsored by Rural Transit
of Mindanao Inc. (RTMI), tricycle driver category with TVI Resource Development
Inc. as sponsor, food attendant category sponsored by Rural Bank of Rizal, and
the household service worker or kasambahay sponsored by city government of
Dipolog.
Awardees shall receive
P5,000.00 and a plaque of recognition.
All nominations will be accepted
until May 6, 2013 and the winners will be awarded on May 30, 2013 during the
“Pasidungog ug pasalamat (Tribute to the Workers) night,” which is the
culminating activity of the Labor Month celebration.
The nominees will be
judged based on their work performance, impact of their behavioral performance
and character, social responsibility, and promotion of good labor and
management relations.
Mr. Roberto P. Reyes of
Dipolog Chamber of Commerce & Industry was acknowledged for his brilliant
idea to include the “kasambahay category in the search.”
When asked to give a
statement, Dr. Dino Joey Cordova of the Rural
Bank of Rizal said that the said search would keep the workers motivated and be
on the right track of righteousness, integrity and productivity.
Mayor Evelyn T. Uy expressed her
deep gratitude to all sponsors for always being supportive of the activities
pursued by the city government.
“Employers and employees are just
like family wherein they grow together,” Mayor Uy declared.
She shared that her three
original employees when she started her business in the 80’s are still with her
until now.
“I have the confidence entrusting
to them the management of my business even if I’m always out of town,” Mayor Uy
added.
Chief Labor Employment Officer Mr. Henry P. Tianero of DOLE Zamboanga del Norte field office was also commended for his initiative and active role in the promotion of gainful employment opportunities throughout the province. (PIA9)
