Around 33,000 Filipinos now have jobs; thanks to the special employment visa issued by the government to more than 400 businessmen and their dependents from 34 countries.
According to the report of Bureau of Immigration (BI) Legal Officer Cris Villalobos submitted to Commissioner Marcelino Libanan, Jr., 425 foreigners were given the recently introduced special visa for employment generation (SVEG). From the 425 foreigners, 271 were principal applicants and 144 were dependents.
Aside from job-generation, the government was able to collect more than P5 billion in fees from the foreigners who availed of the said visa that entitles the foreign holder to stay indefinitely in the country for as long as his or her investment subsists.
Officer Villalobos, who also heads the BI-SVEG one-stop-shop also reported that Koreans topped the list of the SVEG recipients with 120 visas, followed by the Chinese, 41; Taiwanese, 17; Americans, 16; Britons, 11; and Australians, 10. Nine employers from Japan and India, seven from Malaysia and six from Singapore were given SVEG.
Statistics by regions showed the SVEG generated almost 20,000 jobs in Metro Manila. A total of 6,862 Filipinos were employed in Region IV, while approved applicants in Region VII created a total of 1,806 jobs. Central Luzon, which hosts the Clark Freeport Zone and the Subic Bay Economic Zone, netted a total of 1,519 jobs.
Under the rules, the SVEG is issued to a foreigner with an interest in a company or entity that employs at least 10 full-time and regular Filipino workers either for managerial, executive, professional, technical, skilled, or unskilled positions.
A foreigner applying for the visa shall certify that he or she maintains a lawful immigration status in the Philippines; is engaged in a viable and sustainable business; exercises managerial acts with authority to employ, promote and dismiss employees; and evinces a genuine intention to indefinitely remain in the country.
The SVEG was launched pursuant to Executive Order 758 signed last November 17, 2008 by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The SVEG was created to attract foreign investors to the country and at the same time generate job opportunities for Filipinos.
