MANILA, Philippines — The Department of the Interior and Local Government urged all 42,046 barangays around the country to institute a registration system for kasambahays and ensure compliance of employers to protect helpers’ rights as members of the labor force.

 

DILG Secretary Eduardo Año said in a statement that the small number of barangays with registered kasambahays of 3,359 out of the more than 42,000 barangays nationwide indicates noncompliance with the provisions of Republic Act No. 10361 or the Domestic Workers Act.

 

“There is more work to be done in the barangays in imploring better kasambahay registration turnout only. We direct our Punong Barangays to be more proactive in instituting a registration system for our helpers as it is critical to ensuring that they are accorded the full protection of the law,” Año said.
