(File photo) MANILA - Addressing child labor woes in the country requires strong political will from leaders and collaborative efforts among key sectors, an official of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) said Wednesday. In a statement, CHR executive director Jacqueline Ann de Guia lauded the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for rescuing 90,000 minors from child labor "since they began their child laborers profiling initiative in 2018." "The Labor Department, through its Bureau of Workers with Special Concerns (BWSC), aimed to create a database detailing the demographic, as well as appropriate services and interventions, necessary to save a child from harmful labor or economic activity," de Guia added. The human rights chief said the initiative is a "fulfillment" of the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 goal of reducing child labor cases by 30 percent. So far, the DOLE has collected information on 454,520 child workers across the country. Of
