LAOAG CITY- Consistent with President Aquino’s Labor and Employment Agenda, the Labor Department in the Ilocos Region lines up today a Job and Livelihood Fair at the SM City in Rosales, Pangasinan where 8,000 job slots are up for grabs.
LAOAG CITY- Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) Undersecretary Manuel Quezon III arrived in the province yesterday and sat down with the Ilocos Norte media for an hour of discussion dwelling on various areas.


The jobs fair, which is happening simultaneous nationwide, showcases livelihood counseling, franchising opportunities, skills training, and livelihood skills demonstration.
The topicss ranged from President Aquino’s economic agenda, the existence of supposed opposing blocs among Cabinet members, his relationship with the media, and more.


The government has been marking Labor Day celebrations every year with job opportunities in partnership with the private sector as part of its mandate to close the gap in the country’s unemployed.
Quezon said his office has been touring around the country engaging the public and the media to amplify the President’s programs and the national government’s work agenda.


This year’s Labor Day theme: “Pagtutulungan, Pagbabago, Disenteng Trabaho,” seeks to provide Filipinos local and overseas employment.
“I am here to answer any questions that you might have about how the President works, his leadership style, and how he has been stirring the country since he assumed the presidency,” he said.


In Region I alone, some 75 employers gathered together offering various positions that include: Customer Service and Technical Support Representatives, Sales Promoters, Production and Finance Supervisors, Restaurant Supervisors and Managers, HR Assistants, Service Crew, Web Developers, Clerks, Accounting Staff, Systems Engineers, IT Personnel, Drivers, Cashiers, Credit Collectors, Office Secretaries, among others.
He said he chose to engage the media to a discussion as a feedback mechanism on whether or not government programs have made an impact on the public.


President Aquino’s labor agenda is focused on investing in human resource to make it more competitive and employable while promoting industrial peace based on social justice.
Quezon said the President has been working on obtaining the public’s trust in the government by doing his assignment before facing the media for any information that they might want to ask.


On the other hand, the Department of Labor and Employment’s “Package of Reforms” has been crafted to give meaning and substance to the President’s policy agenda. It is anchored on the President’s social contract with the Filipino people and inspired by his vision of a transformed, just, and righteous Philippines.
“He doesn’t just read the news caps (news bullets) that we provide for him. He reads all papers making sure that he absorbs all the necessary data presented. He is good with data and numbers,” he said.
