KORONADAL CITY, Feb. 1 (PIA) --  Chona Mantilla,  labor attaché  to Rome,  today  begins her new  assignment  at the Department of Labor  and Employment  in Soccsksargen Region (DOLE-12).
Mantilla  takes the place of  Atty. Ma. Gloria  Tango, who  is re-assigned  as  regional director of  DOLE  in Central Visayas in accordance to the  order of Labor and Employment  Secretary Rosalinda  Baldoz for the  department-wide reshuffling of regional  directors and  assistant  regional  directors to strengthen the delivery of services  and to maintain transparency in all DOLE offices.
Assistant  Regional Director  Joel  Gonzales  is also transferred as ARD Caraga  Region (Region 13). In his lieu,  former  Zamboanga Peninsula  ARD Yahya  Centi now  serves as  ARD of  DOLE-12.
Mantilla,  a  graduate  of  AB Journalism and  Bachelor of Laws  from Silliman University  and Master of Social Sciences  from  the University of Tasmania  in  Australia,  was  labor attaché to Rome  from 2009 to 2011.
She  was  regional  director of DOLE in Caraga Region  from  2005  until  2009.
During the turn-over ceremony on  Monday,  Mantilla  said, she is ready to  immediately  begin  with  her  new assignment.
“I am  very fortunate because I am ushered  into  a  regional office with  veteran leaders  like RD Tango and  ARD Jong (Gonzales),”  she  said.
One of her  most  immediate  activities, she added,  is to  look into the  work and  financial plan  prepared  by the regional  staff under the  leadership of  Director  Tango.
“We will try to continue  what has  been  done  before  and with the  help of  the regional  staff,  as  well as  our partners in the agency, our  private partners  and the media we will be  able to work  out  more development for the region,”  she  said.
She  assured  that she  will continue the  agency’s  focus on  employment  facilitation,  labor relations, and  welfare of the labor force.
“I would also like  to  strengthen  relationship with local government  units as well as  our private partners,”  she said.
Immediately after the  turn-over ceremony,  Mantilla scheduled a meeting with  the  Regional Coordinating  Council,  provincial  heads  and  division  chiefs  to  validate  plans  and programs.
She said she  will  also meet  with local officials  in  Soccsksargen Region, which  covers the provinces  of Sarangani, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and North Cotabato and the cities  of  Cotabato, Kidapawan, Tacurong, Koronadal, and General Santos.
Regarding  her  predecessor, she said,  Atty. Tango  has  been  her  role model. “An institution,” she described. 
“Mahirap  pantayan ang  previous  leadership, talagang  crème dela  crème,”  she said.
In her stay as  chief of  DOLE  12,  Tango was credited  for  leading in the promotion of industrial  peace  in the  region  as  evidenced  by zero strike in her entire five-year stint here. It was  also  during her leadership that DOLE 12  achieved ISO 9001-2008 certification for its  quality management system. 
Mantilla  is  confident that  her administration  will succeed  with the  help of the regional team  and the network of  partners.
“Let us help one another,”  she asked the participants  of the turn-over ceremony.
Meanwhile, Carlito  Uy,  vice chairman for management of the  Regional Tripartite Industrial Peace  Council said  Director Mantilla  can  expect  full  support  from their group.
“We are  ready  for  whatever program  that  she will introduce in line with  labor and management relationship,”  he said  “especially  in the promotion of industrial  peace.”
“I am  sure,  given her  experience as  regional director  of Caraga and as  labor attaché, she knows what would be best  for both labor and management,” Uy added. (DEDoguiles/PIA 12)
