The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) have sealed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the renewal of the latter’s satellite office at Clark Freeport.
The agreement aims to enhance the collaboration and the ability to offer meaningful services to Clark locators and stakeholders, as well as to strengthen the partnership between CDC and DOLE, officials said.
Under the agreement, DOLE shall retain its office space and training room where it conducts and administers its many functions and services at the ‘One Stop Shop’ located at the Clark Skills and Training Center.
CDC president and CEO Agnes Devanadera signed the agreement with Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma, Pampanga Governor Dennis Pineda and Pampanga Vice Governor Lilia Pineda.
“This partnership with DOLE, with the local government, especially with the provincial government, CDC, and the private sector – the business sector, can make a difference,” Devanadera said.
“We’re moving forward after the pandemic. We’re moving forward because we are here doing the convergence and doing a whole of government approach,” she added.
