GREEN COLLAR JOBS: Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara, acting chairman of the Committee on Labor, Employment and Human Resources Development, discusses with officials of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) led by Assistant Secretary Joji Aragon, the promotion of green collar jobs during a public hearing Wednesday. Green collar jobs refer to employment involving environment-friendly products and services. ”It is indeed crucial for our government to form policies geared towards greener jobs since the country’s location is a hotspot for disasters caused by climate change that adversely affect the country, especially in agriculture and food security,” Angara said.
