The Labor Divina Compendious, a comprehensive bar reviewer on Philippine labor law, was officially presented to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) during a recent book turnover ceremony at its Central Office in Manila.

 

The books were formally received by DOLE Secretary Hon. Francis N. Tolentino and Assistant Secretary Atty. Julie Ann V. Chang-Lim. The turnover was led by the book’s contributing authors: Atty. Jacqueline O. Lopez-Kaw, Atty. Jarodelyn N. Mabalot, Atty. Marifelle L. Isip, Atty. Iyla Marie D. Ferrer, and Atty. Maria Frances Faye R. Gutierrez. They represented the distinguished collective of co-authors, which includes Dean Nilo T. Divina, Atty. Alden Francis C. Gonzales, Atty. Harly Jayson U. Reyes, Atty. Bianca Isabel D. Soriano, and Atty. Clarissa Joyce R. Gorreon.

 

The event underscores a shared commitment between the legal academe and the government to advance labor law education. Designed primarily to help aspiring lawyers navigate the complexities of the country’s legal frameworks, the Labor Divina Compendious breaks down current labor policies, jurisprudence, and worker empowerment principles into an accessible format for bar examinees.

 

Beyond its vital role in bar preparation, the book serves as a valuable reference for legal practitioners and the nation’s primary labor authority, ultimately supporting the shared goal of building a more informed, equitable, and empowered Filipino workforce.
