CABARROGUIS, Quirino, Febrary 18 (PIA) -- The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Region 2 - Quirino Field Office with assistance from the municipal PESO Managers of Quirino has embarked on an intensified career coaching advocacy in majority of high schools in the province for the year 2012.  
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) urged residents in four Luzon provinces on Tuesday to take the necessary precautions against possible flash floods and landslides due to the tail-end of a cold front.
   
   
Guillermo Tan, head of DOLE Quirino, said the move is in response to the growing problem of labor mismatch in the country.  
"The tail-end of a cold front will continue to bring mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in Northern and Central Luzon becoming widespread rains over the provinces of Quirino, Aurora, Isabela and Cagayan," PAGASA said in its 11:00 a.m. advisory.  
   
   
“Labor mismatch which has been defined as a distinct mismatch between education and what the market demands in terms of worker skills and competencies contributed substantially to the perennial problem of unemployment and the government’s efforts to formulate and adopt measures in order to minimize and, ultimately, eliminate it were considered slow and extremely inadequate,” Tan was quoted as saying.
PAGASA said residents living in low-lying areas and along mountain slopes should be on alert for possible flash floods and landslides.
   
   
Tan said to avert the possibility of the situation reaching the stage of being irreversible, measures and strategies were speedily formulated and implemented to cushion its effects.  
Meanwhile, PAGASA forecaster Connie Dadivas said the weather in Metro Manila may start to improve, although there will still be rain in other parts of the country.
   
   
He likewise said coordination are being undertaken with various private and public schools based in the province for the conduct of various advocacy activities such as career selection orientations, dialogues with parents and students and meetings with school officials and representatives through the Provincial Tripartite Industrial Peace Council for Private Educational Institutions (TIPC-PEI).
Dadivas added Northern Luzon can expect rain on Tuesday but the weather there may start improving by Wednesday.
Tan likewise urged members of school management and personnel most especially guidance counselors to participate and be involved in the said endeavor. (TCB/RBE/PIA 2)
