An official of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) told congressmen that Filipino workers at Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) won't get the same compensation if they're left to 'regular local employers'.
An official of the Department of Labor and Employment has admitted to congressmen that Filipino workers at Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators won’t be able to get the same level of compensation that they’re enjoying if they’re left to “regular local employers”.
During the hearing, a curious Antipolo 2nd district Rep. Romeo Acop asked for Pineda’s “personal opinion” as to whether or not she would allow POGOs to operate in the country.“Sa personal stand po kasi, if we would weigh yun pong mga 17,000 Filipinos po na nagwo-work ngayon [sa POGO] and siguro po yung help or assistance na maibibigay ni DOLE may not be sufficient because I’ve heard some interview already ,” she said.
“And some of the brokers and HR managers that I have interviewed prior to the Senate hearing malaki din daw po kasi yung sinusweldo nila na hindi din nila makukuha sa regular local employer ,” Pineda said.
