A peaceful settlement has been reached between 92 plantation workers from Compostela and Sumifru (Philippines) Corp. in a conciliation mediation sanctioned by the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) Region 11 (Davao Region) early this month.

In a single entry approach that is a settlement procedure of all labor issues brought forward by Nagkahiusang Mamumuo sa Suyapa Farms (Namasufa) PP90 leader Vicente Barrios to DoLE Region 11 Senior Labor Employment Officer (LEO) Isidrick Paqueo, the workers manifested their desire to claim separation pay in lieu of reinstatement, and to move forward in mutual agreement with Sumifru.
