President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said he hopes that job seekers trying their luck at the Trabaho sa Bagong Pilipinas fair in Dumaguete City on Thursday, Feb. 20, get employed so they could have a better future.
This was after Marcos congratulated the 27 applicants who were hired on the spot during the job fair in Dumaguete.
“The job fair is there to find jobs. When I entered, there was one already wearing a HOTS T-shirt. That means, hired on the spot. That means someone here got a job. Congratulations to you,” he said.
“Some are still looking for a job. Good luck to you. With the talent of our workers, you will somehow find good jobs,” he added.
Marcos also said the government would continue providing assistance to the Filipino people, especially those still in need of help.
He said he is committed to empowering the poor and vulnerable sector by providing new employment opportunities.
“Your government is doing everything to help those who need help. We are also helping those who are having difficulty finding a good job, not just an ordinary job. I hope that you will be given a job with a future,” Marcos said.
“I hope that what we are doing would help improve your livelihood, improve the lives of your families, and in that way, make our beloved Philippines better,” he added.
