COTABATO CITY – To provide equal protection to the informal workers and ensure the delivery of assistance from the government, some members of the Bangsamoro Parliament are pushing for the institutionalization of the registration and database of all members of the informal economy.
The authors of Parliament Bill No. 109, or the “Informal Economy Registration and Bangsamoro Database Act”, noted that it is important to establish a database that will address informal workers’ employment quality and assist local government units (LGUs) in having a standardized identification of recipients for relief assistance.
Under the measure, the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MOLE), in coordination with the Bangsamoro Planning and Development Authority (BPDA), shall establish and maintain the said database.
It covers all workers and economic units in the informal economy, including enterprises, entrepreneurs, and households throughout the region.
Moreover, the database will secure information about self-employed workers, cooperative members, home-based workers, workers in domestic settings, workers in unrecognized and unregulated employment, farmers and fisherfolks, among others, which will be acquired from the local development councils on informal workers of each LGU.
It will also serve as the official registry and basis of the Bangsamoro Government during the distribution of assistance and intervention to the said beneficiaries.
If passed, the MOLE shall publish a report every three years on the informal economy’s status and growth of employment and economic activities. (PUBLICATION AND MEDIA RELATIONS DIVISION / MINDANAO EXPOSE’)
