MANILA, Philippines - Let’s leave it to the judgment of President-elect Aquino on who he will appoint as Labor Secretary. It is wrong to conclude that just because one is a management lawyer, he will not be a good labor secretary.
In fact, the late Bobbit Sanchez was a management lawyer who turned out to be a good DOLE secretary.
Also, Acting Secretary Lagman, who issued the PALEA decision, was former labor lawyer of TUCP, and not a management lawyer. — Atty. JIMMY MIRALLES, President, Alliance of Genuine Labor Organizations (AGLO)
