The laying out is still on-going as the task to build the structure never stops, given the dynamism of the labor relations environment. The untimely demise of our original architect, KA BLAS F. OPLE, the Father of Philippine Labor Laws, gives us more reason to continue building the structure of labor relations in the Philippines.
