Cotabato City —The Labor and Employment Committee of the Bangsamoro Parliament has established a Technical Working Group tasked to review the proposed eight-book Bangsamoro Labor and Employment Code.
In a meeting held on March 5, the Bangsamoro Labor and Employment Committee presented the mandate of the newly constituted Technical Working Group. The TWG was formed after a series of consultations and inter-governmental dialogues.
Member of Parliament Romeo Sema, the principal author of the proposed bill, stated that BTA Bill No. 59 was meticulously analyzed and crafted in line with the context of the Bangsamoro.
