Around 1,300 job vacancies are expected to be filled in a job fair held by the City Public Employment Services office (City PESO) and SM mall from May 21 to 22 in Puerto Princesa. The said fair offered a large bulk of the employment opportunities in the said national mall, which is due to open its first branch in Palawan this September.

Officials are also optimistic that the said fair, which was jointly organized by the SM Mall-Human Resource Development Management, Department of Labor and Employment, and the City PESO, will contribute in increasing the employment rate in the city.
