DoLE asks employers not to punish absent workers after Cebu quake
Business World Philippines
|October 03, 2025
LABOR Secretary Bienvenido E. Laguesma urged employers to show understanding towards employees struggling to return to work in the wake of the 6.9-magnitude Cebu earthquake.
-
“The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) reminds employers to be compassionate and understanding of the plight of their workers and to provide them needed assistance,” he said via Viber.
He added that employees unable to report to work due to family obligations or safety issues should not face disciplinary action.
The DoLE made the announcement after at least 10 business process outsourcing (BPO) companies in Cebu City ordered their employers to keep working after the quake struck late on Sept. 30, as alleged by the Cebu chapter of the BPO Industry Employees Network (BIEN).
