A total of 26 jobseekers were hired on the spot during the jobs fair held at the Harbor Point Ayala Mall on Labor Day, as part of the Labor Day celebration of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA).
21 applicants were hired by Da Tian Subic Shoes Inc., manufacturer of popular shoe brands here; while two of them were hired by YZ Consultancy Services Incorporated, and the other three were hired by Coffee & Tea Connection.
SBMA
Chairman and Administrator Eduardo L. Aliño said that the agency is
aggressively attracting more businesses to locate in the Subic Bay Freeport
zone and generate not only revenues for the national coffers, the agency and
neighboring local government units, but also job opportunities for residents of
nearby communities.
Around 71
Freeport locators participated to offer a total of 4,463 job opportunities for
the job seekers.
Out of
the 4,463 total manpower needs of participating Freeport locators, 2,146
applications were received from 500 applicants. 1,157 were interviewed before
the job fair ended.
Earlier
that day, a three-kilometer fun run was held to kick-off the Labor Day events
prepared by the SBMA Labor Department, where Freeport workers from various
locators participated together with their family members.
The Labor
department also launched the online Labor Tiktok Dance Challenge, where worker
participants filmed themselves at their workplaces.
Last
Friday, participants of the Zumbathon formed a human cross in support of the
World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
Meanwhile,
a Symposium will also be held on May 8 at the Labor Training Room that will
tackle the Department of Labor and Employment’s Department Order number 175,
series of 2017 for locators engaged in Manpower Services/Agencies (MPD-SBMA)
