PROPOSAL:

THE CREATION AND INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE PROVINCIAL TRAINING &

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES OFFICE (PTESO), INTEGRATING THE EXISTING

TRAINING NETWORK & PLACEMENT PROGRAM (TPNP) AND THE PUBLIC

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES OFFICE (PESO).

PROVINCIAL TRAINING & EMPLOYMENT SERVICES OFFICE (PTESO)

MANDATE

The State’s policy to promote full employment and equal work opportunities for all is encapsulated

in Chapter 1, Article 3 and Book 1, Article 12 of the Labor Code of the Philippines.

Art. 3. Declaration of basic policy.

The State shall afford protection to labor, promote full employment, ensure equal work

opportunities regardless of sex, race or creed and regulate the relations between workers

and employers. The State shall assure the rights of workers to self-organization, collective

bargaining, security of tenure, and just and humane conditions of work.

Art. 12. Statement of objectives.

(a) To promote and maintain a state of full employment through improved manpower

training, allocation and utilization;

(b) To protect every citizen desiring to work locally or overseas by securing for him

the best possible terms and conditions of employment;

(c) To facilitate a free choice of available employment by persons seeking work in

conformity with the national interest;

(d) To facilitate and regulate the movement of workers in conformity with the national

interest;

The same policy is also contained in Book 1, Title 1, Chapter 2, Section 16 of the Local

Government Code of the Philippines.

SECTION 16. General Welfare. –

Every local government unit shall exercise the powers expressly granted, those necessarily

implied there from, as well as powers necessary, appropriate, or incidental for its efficient

and effective governance, and those which are essential to the promotion of the general

welfare. Within their respective territorial jurisdictions, local government

units shall ensure and support, among other things, the preservation and enrichment of

culture, promote health and safety, enhance the right of the people to a balanced ecology,

encourage and support the development of appropriate and self-reliant scientific and

technological capabilities, improve public morals, enhance economic prosperity and

social justice, promote full employment among their residents, maintain peace and

order, and preserve the comfort and convenience of their inhabitants.

Enacted in 1991, the Local Government Code (Republic Act 7160) has vested on local government

powers that were previously exercised by the national government alone. The Code effectively

devolved local government administration to the LGUs guided by the State’s policy to ― provide

for a more responsive and accountable local government structure instituted through a system of

decentralization whereby local government units shall be given more powers, authority,

responsibilities, and resources. In particular, Section 17 (b) (2) (v) tasks LGUs at the municipality

level to provide basic services and facilities in job placement information systems. Section 17 (b)

(4) also requires cities to provide the same services.

Given these enabling laws, the LGU has the power to create and grant legal status to an LGU-

based PTESO. Normally, this goes through a series of processes culminating in the grant of full

legal status to the proposed PTESO by local lawmaking bodies such as Sangguniang Panlalawigan

(Provincial Council). Through such a measure, the PTESO will be ascertained of an annual budget

for staff and operations sourced from the funds of local governments which, at the very least,

would mean regularity and continuity of services pertains to manpower development and

employment.

On top of these legal mandates, Republic Act 8759 (the PESO Act of 1999) institutionalized a

National Facilitation Service Network comprised of Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs)

spread throughout the country. RA 8759 is the most comprehensive law, to date, promoting and

maintaining a public employment service network in the Philippines.
