A 48-year-old fisherman was rushed to a hospital on Good Friday after he was severely injured in a dynamite explosion in Barangay Pansian in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.
LAOAG CITY- The Department of Labor and Employment-Ilocos Norte Field Office (DOLE- INFO), together with the city government of Batac and Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) conducted recently a jobs fair for the university's newly graduates.


The injured victim, identified as Esteban Malabo, is now in stable condition at Ablan Hospital.

He can move his body but cannot speak.
The activity aimed at providing immediate work for the young graduates so as to minimize unemployment in the country.


Doctors said his vision may also be affected because of the blast.
A total of 663 job vacancies, were offered by the 14 participating local employers who participated in the event.
