Department of Labor and Employment(DOLE)

To whom it may concern:

I would like to know the compliance of Clark-based hotels since the pandemic started. I've observed that some of the hotels in clark doesn't impose minimum health and safety protocols which is supposed to be acted upon by a safety officer (which is a DOLE requirement) 

Hope you can help me clear this one out. 

Thank you.
