President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. visited the Trabaho para sa Bagong Pilipinas upon his arrival in Iloilo City.

Spearheaded by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and other government agencies, around 2,500 people registered in the job fair participated by employers from various sectors.

“Kasama na rin po diyan yung tinatawag na matching dahil po kung minsan ang nagiging problema sa naghahanap ng trabaho, yung kakayahan ng tao ay hindi bagay dun sa trabaho na ina-aplayan nila. Kaya tinutulungan namin sila para naman ay babagay doon sa kanilang kakayahan, sa mga, yung kanilang tinatawag na skill set na mapupunta sila sa tamang trabaho,” President Marcos Jr. said in brief remarks.

Aside from the job fair, the DSWD conducted a distribution of financial assistance to the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) while the Department of Agriculture (DA) facilitated the Kadiwa ng Pangulo, selling basic commodities and agricultural products at affordable prices to consumers.

“Isipin po ninyo na lagi ang pamahalaan po ninyo ay laging nandito at nakikinig sa inyong mga hinaing, sa inyong mga pangangailangan at gagawin po namin ang lahat upang tumulong,” President Marcos Jr. concluded in his remarks.
