Manila, Philippines – In celebration of the Institute for Labor Studies (ILS) 30th founding anniversary, the “Luna Lecture Series” and Design Thinking Olympics were formally launched last July 25 at the iLearn Conference Room, DOLE, Intramuros, Manila.

Designed as a forum event, the “Luna Lecture Series,” will be conducted in partnership with various universities and colleges around the country.

Manila, Philippines – “For this occasion, you have succinctly suggested the need for ‘masusi, makbago, at makabuluhang pananaliksik.’ This is at the very least, an appropriate theme on account of the enormous tasks that the Department must undertake. I expect no less than the best from the men and women of the ILS to accomplish our agenda, especially in the field of policy research and advocacy.”

Another batch of INTERNi graduates successfully completed their Internship Program from the Institute for Labor Studies in July 2017

The following interns for this semester are: Adrian Paul C. Catalogo, Rachel Hannah D. Lugtu, Gene Allen A. Rodriguez, and Billy D. Solano, Bachelor of Arts in Social Science-Area Studies from the University of the Philippines, Manila; Herschel Louise M. Barcelon, AB Political Science from the University of Santo Tomas; Cesar Clarence D. Contreras, Juris Doctor from Ateneo Law School; and Ezekiel John M. Evardo, Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

The training reiterated the importance of research ethics and protocol, especially in conducting researches that entail participatory approach.
