1.0 Our Organization

The Department of Labor and Employment started as a small bureau in 1908 under the then
Department of Commerce and Police. It had, for its principal functions, the registration of
laborers, the compilation and analysis of statistics pertaining labor market situation, the
organization of employment agencies, and the settlement of disputes.

On December 8, 1933, the Bureau of Labor was constituted as a Department by virtue of


Republic Act 4121. Since then, it has continuously evolved its thrusts and strategies to
respond to emerging socio-political and economic challenges while keeping as primary
concern the protection and promotion of the welfare of local and overseas Filipino workers
(OFWs).

Today, the DOLE is the national government agency mandated to formulate policies,
implement programs and projects as well as serve as the policy-coordinating arm of the
Executive Branch in the field of labor and employment.

It serves over 43 million workers comprising the country’s labor force, covering those in the
formal and informal economies. On top of this, the DOLE clients also include workers’
organizations, employers and/or employers’ groups, non-government organizations (NGOs),
and other government agencies, the academe, other stakeholders, international
organizations (e.g. ILO, IOM, UNDP, UNICEF), and the international community including
the host countries of our OFWs.

To carry out its mandate, the DOLE has 16 Regional Offices, 83 Field Offices with 4 Satellite
Offices, 36 Overseas Posts, 5 Bureaus, 7 Staff Services and 10 Agencies attached to it for
administrative supervision or for policy and program coordination.

About the Logo

The DOLE Citizen’s Charter logo depicts the unremitting collaborative effort of the
government (upper– left corner), and the public (the citizens) (down-right corner) in
cutting the bureaucratic red tape so as to efface graft and corruption; and promote
transparency in line of service delivery of the Department.

Lower portion of the logo symbolizes the underlying support and enjoinment of the
DOLE to the nation in its endeavor to establish effective practices towards
advocating and cultivating integrity and accountability in carrying out its frontline
services.
