Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Philippines (Ratification: 1953)

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government's report that the advisory committees on the employment service have not been officially organised. With reference to its comments over many years on the same subject, the Committee would like to recall that these Articles of the Convention require the setting up of national, and where necessary regional and local, advisory committees ensuring the co-operation of employers' and workers' representatives, appointed in equal numbers, in the organisation and operation of the employment service and in the development of the general policy of this service. The Committee trusts that the Government will not fail to adopt necessary measures in order to give effect to the provisions of these Articles and requests the Government to report any progress made in this connection.
