Amid whispers of a possible stab at the senatorial race in the May 2022 national polls, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello III appears to be eyeing an active stint as chairman of the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) Government Group instead.

A statement from DOLE Sudnay, July 18, said Bello was “set to take on the challenge” of heading the group representing both the powerful and the small governments of the world in the ILO.
“I think all previous labor secretaries had wished of getting elected chairman of the ILO group. Our chairmanship this year is unprecedented, the first in the history of the century-old ILO,” Bello said.
