In celebration of Labor Day: More than 20,000 jobseekers register for JOBapalooza ’09
More and more new graduates and jobseekers are riding on the wave of opportunity by registering with the country’s biggest jobs fair dubbed “Tayo Na! Trabaho Na! JOBapalooza ’09″ Labor Day approaches, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) today reported.
Labor and Employment Secretary Marianito D. Roque said that based on the latest DOLE preliminary report, more than 20,603 jobseekers have already registered for JOBapalooza ’09, which shall be held at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City on May 1, 2009.
More than 1,000 local firms and overseas recruiters would offer more than 250,000 productive job opportunities to new graduates and jobseekers.
Following the ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:45 a.m., the main Labor Day program will commence at 9:00 a.m. at the SMX Hall, followed by the launching of the DOLE Hotline and the reading of Labor Day Manifesto, and the awarding of livelihood and training certificates/vouchers to disadvantaged sectors and workers under various DOLE and government thrusts (WIN AP, DOLE-AMP, Phil-Health, Ye-Ye, PGS, and OWWA).
Simultaneously, a Livelihood Display and Sale, complemented by entrepreneurship slideshows, training/livelihood seminars, and medical missions, will proceed in the area from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The day will be capped by the launch of Hatid Saya (Alay sa Manggagawang Pinoy sa Ibayong Dagat) courtesy of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, the Trade Unions concert, a spectacular fireworks display in honor of the Filipino worker, and finally, the JOBapalooza ’09 Concert dubbed “Alay sa Manggagawang Pilipino” featuring Gary Valenciano and Rivermaya.
Roque said that JOBapalooza ’09 is a collective offering of the Philippine Labor Movement comprising the country’s labor federations and the country’s Three Plus (3+) Social Partners (which include management, government and other sectors). He cited the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), Federation of Free Workers (FFW), Philippine Transport and General Workers Organization (PTGWO), All Workers Alliance Trade Union (AWATU), Trade Union of the Philippines and Allied Services (TUPAS), Alliance of Filipino Workers (AFW), Philippine Organization of Labor Unions (POLU), and Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), for presenting the Labor Day jobs fair in partnership with major sponsors Globe, Banco de Oro (BDO), SM Shoemart, PHIL-JobNet (www.phil-job.net), JobStreet.com, STI, Philippine Online Chronicles (POC), the City Government of Manila, and the City Government of Pasay City, as well as the DOLE’s National Capital Region (NCR) Office, which is supervising the event.
As this developed, the DOLE’s Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) continues to encourage new graduates and jobseekers to avail of the available opportunities by registering for the JOBapalooza ’09 using the Internet links at http://www.phil-job.net, or the DOLE’s website at http://www.dole.gov.ph. Walk-in applicants are also welcome at the SMX on the Labor Day itself.

How come that our nurses here in the philippines are not paid? Even volunteer nurse has the right to get some benefit for their service rendered. I think that the government should also focus on this matter.

I’m working as a volunteer nurse for 6 months and sad to say im working without salary or even allowance. although khit papanu worth it dn kc nkakatulong ka.But i think its so unfair for nurses na mgvolunteer na lng just to have experience,we deserve to receive some benefits kc my family dn kmi na umaasa smin.I think the government should also focus on this matter.

Nurses should be given jobs here in the Philippines…it’s too unfair for us to have volunteering jobs without just compensation and sad to say that it’s not even credited in Canada….I don’t know why?But i think wala namang difference ang volunteer sa staff e tsaka mas marami ngang tutuusin na ginagawa ang mga volunteer kesa sa staff e…..the fact don’t lie….
i am a nurse June 2009. i would like to gain some local experience. How can i get one?
bakit ganun ung mga taong nagkakaedad na 25 pataas ay halos hirap ng umpaly dhil langing ang hanap dito sa pinas ay mas bata at mas nakatapos dapat..\eh bakit sa ibang bansa khit may edad ka na as long na capable ka pan magwork u can work..sana mapgtuunan ng pansin iyan ng bayan..

Hindi naman siguro. Maybe some companies prioritize those that are fresh grads so that mabawasan ang mga fresh grads na walang trabaho. Give them a chance ika nga since bago lang sila sa work force.
Not to say that 25+ are not qualified. I am 25 years old. And never had problems applying for a job if I need one. As long as you’re qualified and you never stop looking.
Good luck and more power to all.
I am a batch 2009 graduate who passed the boards last june, I am looking for a male staff nurse job. Are there any known vacancies or job openings now?
Thank you.
