Referring to its observation, the Committee notes that the Department of Labour and Employment has adopted rules to implement Article 135 of the Labour Code (as amended by Republic Act 6725) which are also intended to serve as procedural guidelines for labour inspectors. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply a copy of these rules.
