DOLE Working Child Permit Application

Akala ko dati, kapag content creator lang at hindi naman artista ang anak, hindi na kailangan ng Working Child Permit (WCP). Pero ayun, may mga projects pala na kailangan din nito, of course, paid naman ang mga campaigns na ganito. Huwag ka papayag na required ang WCP kung hindi paid ha. Dati, puwedeng online application lang, pero ayon sa bagong memo ng DOLE, kailangan na face-to-face na ang pag-apply ng permit. And this is my experience for DOLE Working Child Permit Application, hopefully makatulong sa mga mommies or daddies na first time gagawin ito.

Step 1: Prepare the DOLE Working Child Permit Requirements

The agency I’m working with for this campaign is very helpful. Sila talaga ang nag provide ng mga kailangan ko and helped me sa bwat step by step ng application. Always checking on me and making sure na walang hassle on my part. Kaya shout out guys!! I super duper love working with your TEAM!!!

2 passport-size pictures ng bata
PSA Birth Certificate ng bata
Government issue ID ng parent
Medical certificate (must be within 1 month ng application)
School certificate (proof na enrolled ang bata)
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the company – dapat naka-state doon ang salary at notarized
Filled-out application form for the Working Child Permit – notarized din
Bank certificate – required only kung renewal na, hindi na kailangan for first-time applicants

Pro tip: prepare extra copies just in case may kulang o nagkaproblema sa printing.

Based on my experience applying for DOLE Working Child Permit sa DOLE PAPAMAMARISAN office, may photocopy na sila doon, so kahit hindi original docs ang dala mo at wala ka extra copy, they will make one for you at no cost.

Step 2: Submission at the DOLE Office

Para sa mga taga Pasig, Pateros, Mandaluyong, Marikina, at San Juan, ang DOLE PAPAMAMARISAN office ay nasa Floro Printing Building, Meralco Avenue corner EDSA, malapit sa Estancia Mall. PAPAMAMARISAN is Pasig, Pateros, Mandaluyong, Marikina, San Juan.

Pagdating sa office, ipapasa mo lang ang application with complete DOLE Working Child Permit requirements. Mabilis lang ang process kung kumpleto ka.

Step 3: Zoom Orientation

The next day after submission, may Zoom orientation si DOLE para i-discuss ang rules sa child employment at reminders sa mga parents. Maganda rin kasi very informative at malinaw ang explanation nila.

Step 4: Payment and Releasing of Permit

After ng zoom orientation, wait for confirmation kung ready na ang Working Child Permit ID ng anak mo. You need to go back sa DOLE PAPAMAMARISAN office to pick up and pay 100 Pesos.

Timeline and Expenses

Monday: Submitted application form and other documents
Tuesday: Zoom orientation
Wednesday: Permit released

Documents Processing Time:

Medical certificate – same day
School certificate – 1 day
Bank certificate – 2 days

Expenses:

Notary (2 docs): ₱300

Final Thoughts

Sa totoo lang, akala ko hassle ang pagkuha ng DOLE Working Child Permit, pero naging smooth ang process dahil kompleto ako sa requirements (again salamat sa agency for this) at maayos ang system ng DOLE. Very accommodating din si Sir Abbu from DOLE. Sulit naman ang pagod.

Kaya sa mga parents na may anak na may modeling, commercials, or film projects — siguraduhin nyo munang kumuha ng DOLE Working Child Permit. Simple lang ang process basta kumpleto ang documents.

Cheez Whiz Strong Kids Camp 2025

Last May 31, me and my Facebook mommy community, MPMC, together with some of our fellow mommy influencers, were invited to the much-awaited Cheez Whiz Strong Kids Camp 2025 held at the Obstacle Course, Bridgetown, Pasig City. It was truly a memorable day filled with fun, learning, and meaningful bonding not just for the kids, but for us moms as well. ????

From the very start, we already felt how well-prepared and thoughtfully organized the event was. The venue was perfect for the activities — safe, spacious, and very comfortable. Despite the summer season, the timing of the event was considerate enough that it wasn’t too hot for the kids to play and enjoy. Plus, the big tent and fans provided extra comfort for everyone. I also truly appreciated the safety measures, with plenty of marshals around making sure everyone — kids and moms — felt secure throughout the event.

Of course, the real highlight was seeing the kids experience the obstacle courses. And for my son Marius, the A-Frame quickly became his favorite! Watching him confidently climb up and balance down was such a joy to see. This activity was not only exciting for him but also incredibly beneficial for his coordination, body control, and muscle strength — engaging both his arms, legs, and core muscles all at once while building his confidence and focus.

Since Marius is already a bit older, he was able to navigate most of the obstacles on his own. But even for younger kids, it was heartwarming to watch how moms and kids worked together to overcome each challenge. I could also see how much the other mommy influencers and their kids enjoyed every single station. It’s experiences like this that give us valuable takeaways as parents — reminding us of the importance of encouraging active play in our kids’ daily lives.

Aside from the activities, Cheez Whiz really went above and beyond in making sure everyone was well taken care of. The food spread was surprisingly generous — we were expecting light snacks, but we were served filling meals, and hydration was well provided with plenty of water for all the guests, which is super important especially for active play under the sun.

Of course, the experience was made even more special with thoughtful tokens from Cheez Whiz like towels and flasks — super useful and cute! And as a little thank you from me and our MPMC community, we also prepared cookies and our exclusive MPMC eco bags as additional tokens for our mommy attendees. ????

I also want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing team behind this event for their superb organization and warm assistance all throughout. It was such a pleasure working with a team that truly values both the kids’ enjoyment and the moms’ experience.

At the heart of the Cheez Whiz Strong Kids Camp 2025 is a very important reminder for us parents: Active play is essential for our kids’ physical, emotional, and social development — but proper nutrition is just as important to support their growth. This is where Cheez Whiz plays an important role, with its Calcium, Vitamins A & D, and Phosphorus, providing the essential nutrients that help strengthen bones, support healthy muscles, and fuel every move our kids make.

✨ If you’re a mom who wants to be part of events like this — to experience fun, learning, and community together — we would love to have you in our mommy group in Facebook: MPMC! Join us and be part of many more exciting activities for moms and kids. ????

Jollibee Fun Camp 2025

This summer was extra special for our family, especially for my son, Marius. We discovered the Jollibee Fun Camp 2025 (JolliKids Summer Fun Camp), and it quickly became the highlight of his school break. If you’re a parent like me looking for a fun, meaningful summer activity, let me share why this camp is a must-try for your little one!

A Behind-the-Scenes Adventure

The is a 2-day program designed for kids aged 4 to 12 years old. It gives children a peek into how their favorite Jollibee store operates, but with a fun, interactive twist. From learning how to take orders to preparing favorites like the Yumburger, Spaghetti, and Sundae, kids enjoy hands-on activities while learning valuable life skills.

Marius was thrilled when I told him he’d get to make his own burger and serve “customers” like a real crew member. And of course, the chance to meet Jollibee himself made everything even more unforgettable!

Is Jollibee Fun Camp 2025 Worth the Price?

As a parent, cost is always a factor. The best part? The Fun Camp 2025 price is only PHP 620. This already includes all the activities, materials, the official uniform, and even a certificate of completion. For the amount of fun, learning, and confidence Marius gained, it was absolutely worth every peso.

2025 Schedule in the Philippines

The camp runs from April 21 to June 14, 2025. Since it’s only a 2-day program, it’s easy to work into your family’s summer schedule. We signed up early to ensure Marius secured a slot — something I highly recommend, since spots do fill up fast!

What Kids Get in the Jollibee Fun Camp 2025 Uniform

One of Marius’s favorite parts was wearing the official JolliKids Summer Fun Camp uniform. The bright red cap, crew shirt, and milestone booklet made him feel like a real part of the team. As a mom, I couldn’t help but take lots of photos — he looked so proud and adorable!

How to Register for the Jollibee Fun Camp 2025

We registered at our nearest participating Jollibee store. Not every branch offers the program, so it’s a good idea to check with your local Jollibee to confirm if they are part of the Jollibee Fun Camp 2025 participating stores list.

Why I Highly Recommend Jollibee Fun Camp 2025

As a mom, I’m always searching for activities that are fun, educational, and build my child’s confidence. The JolliKids Summer Fun Camp 2025 ticked all the boxes. Marius made new friends, learned new skills, and created amazing memories. Seeing him beam with pride during the Level-Up Ceremony was one of my favorite moments this summer.

If you’re considering enrolling your child, don’t wait — this camp is absolutely worth it!
