[Title] => DOLE: Auction won’t lead to closure of Int’l School
[Summary] => The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) assured foreign businessmen yesterday that the International School Manila (ISM) would not close down despite an impending public sale.
Ricardo Martinez, DOLE-National Capital Region (NCR) director, said the possibility of ISM’s closure was an "unfounded" fear because it was highly unlikely for the new owners to consider such an option.
He pointed out that even if ISM is awarded to the teachers in case no business group bids for the property, they are still expected to continue the operations of ISM.

Labor Undersecretary Manuel Imson said based on data reaching DOLE, about 30 percent of the recorded 6.7 million drug users nationwide are young, educated workers.
Citing data from the National Statistics Office, Imson said the typical Filipino drug user is 25 years old, single, employed, lives in an urban area and has an average monthly income of P4,726.

[Title] => Dole backs tax relief call for minimum wage earners
[Summary] => The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has expressed support for calls to exempt low-salaried workers from their tax burden.
"Our discussion with the employers and workers’ groups led us to a consensus that the government should look into a congressional amendment of existing laws to possibly exempt all minimum wage earners from (paying) income tax," Labor Undersecretary Manuel Imson said.
The DOLE recently hosted a forum with various employers and labor groups for the purpose of coming out with a new tax system that is less burdensome for workers.

[Title] => Pinoys still want to work abroad despite Angelo’s abduction
[Summary] => The abduction of truck driver Angelo de la Cruz has failed to dampen the desire of many Filipinos to work abroad, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) said yesterday.
POEA chief Rosalinda Baldoz said statistics show that the country’s average daily deployment even increased during the period De la Cruz was held hostage by Iraqi militants.
For this month alone, 2,713 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) left the country for jobs abroad, 10 percent higher than the 2,461 deployed daily in July last year.
