Tulfo threatens to block DoLE budget over Camanava wage underpayment
Senator Raffy Tulfo threatened to defer the Department of Labor and Employment's (DOLE) 2026 budget if negligent field inspectors are not dismissed.
He cited complaints about manufacturing companies in Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela allegedly underpaying workers, some receiving as little as PHP280 daily.
Tulfo criticized that field inspectors failed to consult workers during their visits, limiting interactions to closed-door meetings with HR representatives.
He argued that if DOLE inspectors were performing their duties, they would have identified companies violating wage regulations.
Labor Secretary Bienvenido E. Laguesma assured that the DOLE will address problems concerning its field inspectors.
