                    [Summary] => 

Some 26,000 workers may be laid off if four of the country’s largest sardine processing and canning factories close, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) reported yesterday.


In a report to Labor Secretary Patricia Sto. Tomas, the DOLE regional office in Zamboanga City said that four sardine factories operating there filed notices of temporary closure.


The four companies — Mega Zamboanga Universal Fishing, Miramar, YL Fishing and Ayala Foods — employ a total of 26,000 workers, including those working at fishing ports and as tuna canners.

Tomas sa media na kumukober sa kanya subalit mukhang kabaligtaran naman ang ginagawa ng ‘‘tatlong angels’’ sa Information Department niya. At kung hindi kikilos si Sto. Tomas, maaring ang pagkainis at pagkayamot ng mga reporters na naka-assign sa Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) sa ‘‘tatlong angels’’ ay babagsak sa kanya. Pag nagkataon, magugulat na lamang si Sto. Tomas kung bakit binabanatan siya ng mga reporters eh wala naman siyang kasalanan, di ba mga suki?

Earlier, Sto. Tomas had belittled the enforcement of "localization" policies in some countries in the Middle East, saying that the Philippines has managed to continue deploying workers to the area even as these policies have been in place since 1982.
