These sectors shall sit as sub-committees of the Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (TIPC). The sectoral council members and other participants were also given information regarding the Department Order 18-A, Series of 2011, Labor and Standards and Occupational Safety and Health focusing on Construction Safety.

The officers of the two Industry Tripartite Councils (ITCs) are JT Gamolo as chairman; JORVIVS Construction, vice-chairman; KEZ Construction, treasurer; M.M. Enterprises Incorporated, secretary; Z & L. Construction, auditor; Petrina, PRO; Mafil, Myrmidon, SCV, LLV, RRN, Domugan for Construction ITC, committee members.

For Manpower, Trucking, Security and Other General Services ITC, the officers are Pepeng Mutia, chairman; Ging Mamawag, vice chairman; Eleanor Ligan, secretary; Elvira Doydora, treasurer; Jo Umbal, auditor; and Junard Camacho and Lovejoy Alojado as PROs.

During the workshop on Department Order 18-A, S. 2011, the main issue raised by the participants was the abrupt increase of registration fee from P100 to P 25,000. The P3,000,000 capitalization was also considered too high by the small contractors operating in the province. They recommend a review of the Department Order to make it affordable to small contractors.

Meanwhile, the Oath of Office of the two ITC offices will be administered by Regional Director Johnson G. Cañete in a separate meeting on February 20 in Malaybalay City.
