MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. on Friday vowed that the government will regularly hold job fairs that will not only provide employment but also address job mismatches in the country.
Speaking at the “Trabaho at Serbisyong Pangkalusugan sa Bagong Pilipinas” fair in Pili, Camarines Sur, Marcos highlighted that it is important to provide employment opportunities that match the skills of job seekers.
“Alam niyo po ay napakaimportante na makapag-matching ng trabaho. Ano ‘yung kakayahan ng isang nais magtrabaho ay kailangan makahanap siya ng trabaho na bagay sa kanya,” Marcos said in his speech.
(You know, it is very important to match jobs properly. A job seeker must find work that suits his or her skills.)
“Kailangan ang hinahanap natin ‘yung trabaho na tatagal, ‘yung makakapagbigay talaga ng magandang hanapbuhay sa bawat mga – sa lahat ng ating manggagawa para naman sila ay makapagbigay ng kaunting ginhawa sa kanilang sarili at sa kanilang mga pamilya, at sa kanilang komunidad,” he continued.(What we are looking for are long-term job opportunities that can truly provide a good livelihood for every worker, allowing them to bring some comfort to themselves, their families, and their communities.)
Marcos also expressed hope that the initiative would help Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries in the province.
“Marami po tayong mga participant dito galing sa mga private na korporasyon. Sila po ay naghahanap din ng manggagawa, at ‘yung matching na na ating ginawa. Maraming salamat sa inyo sa inyong pakikilahok dito sa aming ginagawa na job fair,” he said.
(We have many participants here from the private setor who are looking for workers, and the job matching we have conducted is essential. Thank you all for participating in this job fair.)
