In this episode, we shed light on the pivotal Department Order No. 238-23, a comprehensive directive detailing regulations for enforcing labor standards as outlined in Article 128 of the Labour Code of the Philippines and enhanced by the provisions of Republic Act No. 11058.

This order represents a significant step forward in fortifying labor rights and ensuring workplace safety and health standards across the nation.
