The convention, led by Philippine Association of Labor Management Council (PalmCo) president Jesus Beltran and National Convention chairperson Jovito Matias, is a tripartite affair designed to work for the professionalization and accreditation of LMC management as a major function in corporate management and as an essential tool in sustaining a workplace-based industrial peace.
