AN ACT ESTABLISHING A ONE-STOP SHOP FACILITY FOR GOVERNMENT 
EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS OF NEW GRADUATES, PROVIDING FREE 
PROCESSING FOR INDIGENT APPLICANTS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Each year, thousands of new college graduates step into the labor force with high hopes 
of beginning meaningful careers. However, many are immediately confronted with bureaucratic 
hurdles 
as they attempt to secure essential government documents required for 
employment—such as a tax identification number (TIN), NBI and police clearances, PhilHealth 
and PAG-IBIG membership, Social Security number, and documents from the Philippine 
Statistics Authority (PSA). 
These requirements, though necessary, impose a significant burden on first-time job 
seekers. Many young graduates, especially those from low-income backgrounds, must travel to 
various offices, queue for long hours, and shoulder financial costs—sometimes at the expense of 
pursuing job interviews or opportunities. 
To ease this transition from education to employment, this measure seeks to establish a 
One-Stop Shop—a centralized facility in key cities and university hubs where new graduates can 
obtain all their government employment documents in one location. It also mandates the creation 
of a digital one-stop shop portal to further streamline the process and ensure broader 
accessibility.

Importantly, the bill provides for free processing of government documents for indigent 
graduates, recognizing the State’s duty to remove economic barriers that limit access to 
employment. 
This proposal is aligned with the government’s commitment to reduce youth 
unemployment, eliminate job mismatch, and promote inclusive growth. Based on the 2015 data 
of the Philippine Statistics Authority, youth aged 15 to 34 account for around 80% of the total 
unemployed population. Many are unable to gain employment not because of lack of skill, but 
because of delayed compliance with basic hiring requirements. 
By simplifying the documentation process and offering public employment support 
services, this legislation aims to empower young Filipinos, reduce unemployment, and foster a 
smoother school-to-work transition. 
The passage of the bill is earnestly sought.
