As part of the commemoration, DOLE personnel, partner agencies, and stakeholders proudly displayed the symbolic red card bearing the message "Red Card sa Child Labor," sending a strong and unified call to end child labor in all its forms.

By raising the "Red Card sa Child Labor," the agency joins the nationwide movement advocating for a future where every child is free from labor exploitation and empowered to reach their full potential.

The World Day Against Child Labor is observed annually on June 12 to raise awareness and encourage action toward the elimination of child labor worldwide.
