Less than 5% comply with laws

After the previous post on International Labor Organization (ILO) citing the Philippines on child labor, here comes a real shocker.

Only 24 of 500 members of the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) or less than 5 percent comply with laws on child labor.

To correct his problem, ECOP is launching a campaign "Child Labor-Free and Child-Friendly Recognition Program." The project is in partnership with guess who - ILO.
