Manila to keep hosting job fair
Provision of employment for the jobless residents of the city is part of the local government’s efforts towards a ‘Magnificent Manila.’
Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna vowed to continue hosting job fairs in an effort to provide employment to the needy Manilans.
Lacuna made the announcement after a "PESO Mega Job Fair" was successfully held anew by the Manila city government yesterday.
The lady mayor said the job fair was held by the Public Employment Service Office — City of Manila in coordination with the Department of Labor and Employment — National Capital Region and the DoLE-NCR Manila Field Office.
It was held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the San Pablo Apostol Parish Church, along Velasquez Street in Tondo, Manila.
Lacuna lauded the PESO personnel headed by Fernan Bermejo and thanked all the companies that participated in the said job fair and all other similar job fairs in the past.
She said the provision of employment for the jobless residents of the city is part of the local government's efforts towards a "Magnificent Manila."
It is part of the city's program dubbed, "Marangal Na Trabaho Para Sa Bawat Manileño."
Apart from separate job fairs, Lacuna said employment opportunities are also being offered each time a "Kalinga sa Maynila" forum is held as scheduled in various barangays in the city.
