                    [Summary] => The Department of Labor and Employment in coordination with Plan International, a non-government organization, recently recorded more than 1,000 children working in the sugarcane industry in the municipality of Medellin.


Bernie Alverio, project coordinator of Plan International, said that these children are working along with their parents under the "pakyaw system."

As a result, Alverio said that, "most of these children have not finished their studies and their physical growth stunted for lack of food under heavy works."
