Villanueva: Don t burden workers with PNP clearance to transact with DOLE
Senator Joel Villanueva voiced opposition to the Philippine National Police (PNP) proposal to require workers to first present police clearance when transacting with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), saying it was like a gate pass.
Villanueva, chair of the Senate labor committee, said the PNP proposal was not only incredulous but ran counter to President Duterte s instruction to government offices to cut red tape. What the President has ordered and what the people want is less red tape and not more of it. What the PNP is proposing goes against this, Villanueva said.
