TINANGGIHAN ni Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III ang hiling ni outgoing Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Debold Sinas na hingan ng police clearance ang mga kawani na may transaksyon sa kagawaran.
Sinabi ni Bello na magdudulot lamang ito ng perwisyo sa mga manggagawa.
“While good-intentioned, requiring DOLE’s clientele to secure NPC to avail of our services will do more harm than good,” saad ni Bello sa liham kay Sinas.
Idinagdag ng kalihim na 94 porsyento ng mga employer at employee ay hindi pabor na gawing requirement ang police clearance base sa survey na ginawa ng kagawaran.
“It is a form of a red tape to all and an additional financial burden to many. It is also not aligned with the policy of the President as embodied in the Republic Act No. 11032, also known as the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018, and Executive Order No. 129 dated 13 April 2021,” dagdag niya.
Sinabi naman niya na katuwang ng PNP ang DOLE sa paniniguro ng kaligtasan ng mga Pilipino.
“We are with the PNP in building a safer place for the Filipino. We can achieve this without adding burden to the transacting public and the people we serve,” ani Bello. –A. Mae Rodriguez
