As per DOLE’s report, only 158 out of the 2,029 made it to the cut; 154 got hired by the 33 participating local companies while four (4) passed the interview for overseas work.

Twenty-two (22) overseas companies participated in the Jobs Fair while nine (9) took part via the online platform.

During the short program, DOLE Secretary Sylvestre Bello conveyed his message to all participating agencies and job seekers thru DOLE Bicol Regional Director Zenaida A. Campita.

“Sa lahat ng manggagawang Pilipino, sa loob ng bansa at sa buong mundo, matinding hamon ang ating hinaharap sa nakalipas na dalawang taon, marami dito ay ating napagtagumpayan dahil sa ipinamalas na tapang at katatagan ng manggagawang Pilipino,” Campita reads.

Princess Dela Torre, 22 years old and a resident of Cararayan, Naga City said that the Jobs Fair is a big help to people like her who are trying to bounce back after the economic setback caused by the COVID 19 pandemic.

“Maganda po itong aktibidad na ito dahil madami silang matutulungang tao na nawalam ng trabaho lalong lalo na ngayon na panahon ng pandemic, madaming walamg pera, walang hanapbuhay,” Princess said.

Campita said that the 2022 Labor Day Trabaho, Negosyo, Kabuhayan activity, in celebration of the Labor Day is DOLE’s way of reaching out to all workers who continue to fight the chain of poverty by never giving up despite the challenges brought by the COVID 19 pandemic.

“Para sa ating mga jobseekers, huwag po kayong makontento sa isa lang yung a-aplayan. Maaari po kayong mamili hangga’t maaari gusto ninyong mga employers na nandyan. Huwag nyo i-limit sa isa lang. Mag apply po kayo at mag tiyaga. Lahat po ng mga paraan ay ginagawa ng ating pamahalaan upang kayo ay matulungan na magkaroon ng disente at matatag na trabaho,” Campita added.
