PNoy Stressed RP Government's Commitment to Business Sector, Job Creation

President Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III stressed the Philippine Government's commitment to help the business sector as well as make more jobs available to the Filipinos in the coming years.

During the last day of the 36th Philippine Business Conference and Expo held at the Manila Hotel, President Aquino thanked the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industries (PCCI) for launching its Business Matrix Program, which aims to develop the countryside by promoting their livelihoods and opening up more opportunities for both micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to sell their goods and services to large corporations.

"With a computerized networking system that bridges the gap between producers and sellers with their potential buyers and financial resources, you have shown once again, your commitment in empowering our people through the partnership of the private sector with the community," President Aquino said. We are all aware of the enormous problems we inherited, but we continue to work to improve the overall business climate," he added.

Furthermore, he again shared that companies such as Coca-Cola, Pfizer, AES, Hewlett-Packard, JP Morgan Chase, Sutherland Global Services, Inc., General Electric, Headstrong Corporation, SPI Global and Affinity Express have all expressed strong interest in investing in the country.

"We secured over $2.4 billion U.S. dollars worth of investments, covering a wide range of investment areas, from power generation to garments and leather goods, and of course the BPO industry. This translates to at least 43,600 new jobs and as much as 200,000 indirect jobs owing to the multiplier effect in the next three years...More jobs shall come our way as we implement projects under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) system which we hope to launch by the next month," President Aquino said.

The PPP Center aims to give businesses advisory services, technical assistance, training, and capacity development in the preparation of their ventures into government undertakings.

President Aquino said, "we are simplifying the process of establishing a business, and in stamping out red tape, as well as in improving infrastructure, and relaxing regulations on air travel to and from the country. All of these reforms are being undertaken in order to create a business-friendly atmosphere that will benefit you and the entire nation in the long run."

More Job Opportunities Made Available in Canada through Renewed MOU

Department of Labour and Immigration of Manitoba, Canada signed a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) which aims to help recruit more overseas Filipino workers (OFW) and continue to ensure their protection.

DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz signed the MOU on behalf of the Philippines while Premier Greg Selinger signed on behalf of Manitoba in a simple function held in Makati City. Under the MOU, both parties will work together to enable Filipino workers to enter Manitoba under a process that is effective and clearly communicated to employers and workers alike.

The shared priorities for collaboration and cooperation under the new MOU include, but are not limited to, the following:
  1. Ensure that the need of Manitoba employers for Filipino workers with appropriate skills are met through training and credential-recognition activities;
  2. Expedite the approval of selected workers for employment opportunities in Manitoba, including efforts to support the work of the Canadian visa office in Manila in the processing of worker workers' permits and visas;
  3. Promote sound, ethical, and equitable recruitment and employment practices;
  4. Share information to support initiatives, subject to privacy laws of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Government of Manitoba, Canada; and
  5. On prior agreement, explore the role for the International Organization for Migration to support the foregoing initiatives.
According to Sec. Baldoz, due to the low birth rate and aging population of Manitoba, they will need 20,000 new workers annually by 2016. Possible jobs involve carpentry, plumbing, and electricity. Salinger added that this will also open opportunities for other professions like engineers, accountants, medical professionals like doctors and nurses, among others.

Sec. Baldoz added that with the new RP-Manitoba agreement and the improving world economy, more OFWs may be deployed to Manitoba starting this year, adding Filipino workers from the health, agricultural production, hotel, and restaurant and construction sectors will continue to be in demand in Manitoba.

DOLE Warned Jobseekers about Malaysian Online Recruitment Scam

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issued a warning to Filipino jobseekers looking for work in Malaysia about an online recruitment scam.

In a statement, DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz aired the warning after receiving a report from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Kuala Lumpur saying that there are emails circulating, apparently from the Immigration Department of Malaysia. It is an alleged notice about their visa processing requirements.

She explained that the alleged notice from the immigration authority is informing a prospective applicant of a pending appointment letter from a certain company, Mobil Oil Company, which allegedly requests for the processing of the applicant’s documents.

Labor attaché to Kuala Lumpur Hassan Gabra Jumdain said the email states that after securing all the necessary documents from the applicant, the processing of a visa or residence work permit would cost the worker a total of US$ 670.00 (around PhP 30,150.00). The applicant should send the amount through Western Union, to an account name with a government office address in Kuala Lumpur.

“The email also indicates that the cost of pre-paid flight tickets will be shouldered by the host employer, in this case Mobil Oil Company,” Jumdain reported.

Sec. Baldoz reminded prospective overseas Filipino workers to strictly observe precautionary measures pertaining to applications for overseas employment in Malaysia. “Such notices are a hoax and prospective workers for Malaysia should be very wary about answering these hoax emails,” Baldoz warned.

“They should only deal with licensed recruitment agencies posted at the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) website or visit the POEA for advice. They should not be lured by sweet words from fixers and agents promising overseas jobs for a fee. Better still, they should immediately report illegal recruiters to government authorities,” she said.

Sec. Baldoz warned illegal recruiters to stop plying their illegal schemes because the law will eventually catch up with them.

More Filipinos Turning To Medicine amidst Nursing Demand Decline

More Filipino graduates, particularly those pursuing Nursing, are now shifting to Medicine as the demand for nurses worldwide continues to decline.

According to Dr. Jose Cueto, member of the Professional Regulations Commission Board of Medicine, more students are now taking the National Medical Admission Test (NMAT) compared to six years ago when there was a high demand for nurses overseas.

Dr. Cueto said, “Before, it’s the doctors who were taking up nursing because they want to work abroad. Now it’s the reverse, our nurses are continuing their studies and are entering medical schools.”

Passing the NMAT is a requirement for any bachelor’s degree holder to be admitted to any medical school in the Philippines and become a doctor. Aside from Nursing, Physical Therapy and Medical Technology are two of the best preparatory courses for Medicine.

Recent reports from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) attested to this. Based on POEA data, the number of professional nurses deployed to other countries only increased by 6.71%, from 12,618 to 13, 465 in 2009. In 2008, the rate of migrant nurses rose by 40.13%.

However, despite the increasing number in registered doctors, members of the Board of Medicine said it would still not be enough to address the lack of doctors in rural areas, since new doctors usually prefer to practice their profession abroad. Dr. Cueto urged the government to address the exodus of the country’s health workers overseas.

Thousands of Construction Workers Needed in Guam, CNMI – DOLE

Thousands of overseas workers will be needed in Guam once the construction of a Naval Hospital worth US$700 million starts by the first quarter of 2011.

Citing a report from Saipan-based Labor Attaché Carmelina Velasquez, Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said construction for the military facilities build up will be until 2020. Every year, a project worth about a billion US dollars will be awarded to a construction firm, requiring around 7,000 to 10,000 construction workers.

A Filipino contractor in Guam informed the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in the area that 50% of the required manpower can be sourced out from the Philippines because of its workers’ experience and track record of performance.

Labor Attachè Velasquez, in her report, said that considering Guam cannot accommodate all trainings for the relocation, the US military is looking at the island of Tinian in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI) to provide opportunities for training groups of 200 marines or more due to greater land availability.

Velasquez said the proposed military training on Tinian includes firing ranges for long distance rifle, automated pistol combat, platoon battle course, field training, and airspace use. She added that should this project push through, there will also be employment opportunities for Filipino workers in CNMI.

The Labor Attaché said project biddings and awarding for the military facility construction are scheduled this year, although data on manpower requirements are not yet available as of press time.

In this light, the Philippine Embassy in Guam, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), reiterated the "no recruitment fee" policy of the United States for foreign workers falling under the H2-B visa classification. The H2-B visa is a 10-month visa for short-term or seasonal workers in non-agricultural positions, such as in construction, cleaning, hotel, restaurant and landscape.

Philippine Consul General Bayani S. Mercado met with U.S. State Department Acting Fraud Prevention Manager Clay Allen to discuss joint measures to inform the general public about the U.S.' no recruitment policy' for the said working visa. This was in response to reports that many overseas Filipino workers paid manpower agencies substantial amounts for placement or recruitment fees.

In a separate statement, the POEA stressed that they have adopted a policy that prohibits charging of placement fees from those applying for jobs in countries that do not allow such fees since 2001. Aside from the U.S., other countries that prohibit this include the United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel, some parts of Canada (like Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, Seskatchewan), and the Netherlands.

POEA Administrator Jennifer Jardin-Manalili urged jobseekers to report recruitment agencies that charge such unnecessary fees and to contact POEA for any developments on the Guam labor market.

Filipinos Warned Against Blue-Collar Job Offer in China

The Philippine Embassy in Beijing issued a warning against recruiters offering blue-collar jobs in China.

"The Chinese labor market is not yet open for blue-collar Filipino and other foreign workers, thus, offers from recruitment agencies to work in the country as blue-collar workers can be considered human trafficking," Consul General Maria Teresa Almojuela said in a statement released by the Department of Foreign Affair.

The illegal and unauthorized entry of overseas Filipino workers in China will contribute to the growing number of undocumented workers in China, majority of which are from neighboring countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

In a news item from Beijing daily newspaper Global Times, illegal aliens from neighboring countries stream into the country daily, hoping to find better paying jobs. After becoming familiar with life in China, they encourage their friends and relatives to follow them.

Based on the report on the influx of undocumented workers in China, majority of these workers are found in the East China region and come from South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa.

Dutch Ship Companies Want All-Filipino Crew in Vessels

Netherlands Ambassador to the Philippines Robert Brinks said that Dutch shipping companies want to have an all-Filipino crew, from officers to ratings (non-officer) to man their vessels.

In an statement made during the 11th meeting of the Philippines-Netherlands Joint Committee on Maritime Affairs, Ambassador Brinks said that Dutch employers prefer Filipino seafarers to occupy key positions in their vessel because of their good communications and technical skills. On the other hand. Mr. Tjitso Westra of the Dutch Ship Owners Association added that Filipinos seafarers can do a lot of functions, reliable, and has a sense of loyalty to their employers.

Despite being affected by the global financial crisis, Ambassador Brink said that this has not affected the hiring of Filipino seamen for Dutch ships. He revealed that since Asia's economy is booming, there will always be a requirement for them.

Based on reports, Filipinos make up about a quarter of all seafarers all over the world, totaling to more than 250,000. Like The Netherlands, Japan and Norway ships prefer to have Filipinos as part of their crew.

DOLE Issued Warning for Macau-bound OFWs

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issued a warning to all overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who intends to work in Macau or is being recruited to work in the said Chinese territory using tourist visas saying that the Macau government has recently implemented a law that prioritizes the hiring of local workers over foreign workers.

DOLE Secretary Marianito Roque said that is no longer easy for foreign workers to come and find employment in Macau, unlike in the past when they could apply and easily fill vacancies as walk-in applicants in this part of China. This is because the Macau government recently passed the Law for the Employment of Non-residential Workers, also known as the Law on Imported Labor, to safeguard the employment of local workers and restrict the hiring of migrant workers in Macau. The new law took effect on April 26, 2010.

A report from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) – Macau states the draft administrative regulations complementing the new law have already been submitted to the Macau government’s Executive Council.

In this light, POLO-Macau has consulted the Macau Labor Affairs Bureau (DSAL) for the conduct of a symposium aimed at orienting the OFWs in Macau on the new Law on Imported Labor.

Sec. Roque said the workers should always verify first with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) the legality of jobs in Macau to avoid being victimized by unscrupulous individuals or agencies.

POEA Issued Warning against Travel Agencies Sending Workers to Singapore

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) advised Filipinas wishing to work as domestic helpers in Singapore not to rely on the services of travel agency operators who also promoting themselves as employment agents.

In a news advisory posted at the POEA website, POEA Administrator Jennifer Jardin-Manalili, citing a report from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Singapore, said 99 per cent of Filipino domestic helpers who ran away from their employers were deployed by travel agents and do not have valid overseas employment documents issued by the POEA.

Mr. Rodolfo M. Sabulao, the Philippine labor attaché to Singapore said a syndicate composed of travel agencies in the Philippines is behind this illegal recruitment scheme in connivance with placement agencies in Singapore which were not accredited by the Philippine Embassy and therefore have no counterpart recruitment agency in the Philippines.

The workers were asked to sign a one-page contract indicating their salaries ranging from $250.00 (roughly P11, 260.00 based on $1.00 = P45.0490 exchange) to $350.00 (P15, 770.00) per month with no day off. The workers, however, get only $20.00 (P900.00) per month as subsistence allowance because the Singapore agency has to deduct from their salary the placement fee equivalent to seven months salary.

Administrator Manalili clarified that household workers should receive a monthly salary of $400.00 (P18, 020.00) She also said that she has already requested from Labor Attaché Sabulao the names of the travel agencies involved in the illegal recruitment scheme for proper investigation.

DOLE to Stage Nationwide Job Fair on Labor Day 2010

Following the success of last year's nationwide job and livelihood fair, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said that they are again preparing for a nationwide Job and Livelihood Fair to be held simultaneously in various parts of the country on May 1, 2010 to mark Labor Day in honor of the Filipino workers.

DOLE Secretary Marianito Roque said the Job and Livelihood Fair, aptly titled, Jobs Live!, will showcase the collaboration of the social partners in the efforts to facilitate the employment of workers while celebrating at the same time the 108th Labor Day anniversary on May 1 this year

Sec. Roque said the country's biggest labor groups such as the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), National Alliance of Trade Unions (NATU), Federation of Free Workers (FFW), Trade Unions of the Philippines and Allied Services (TUPAS), Alliance of Filipino Workers (AFW), and other labor organizations will lead the May 1 celebration with the theme Manggagawang Pilipino, Kaagapay sa Pagbabago. The theme underscores the crucial role of the workers in the national efforts to achieve development and an opportunity to pay tribute to the Filipino workers, both local and overseas.

The main event will be held at the SMX Convention Center at the SM Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City. To avoid heavy concentration of jobseekers at SMX, the employers and recruitment/manning firms will also be distributed and placed in five other Job and Livelihood Fair venues at SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM Fairview, SM San Lazaro, and SM Southmall in Las Pinas. Much like last year's Jobapalooza, job and livelihood fairs will likewise be held in 14 other key regional sites around the country.

Sec. Roque said jobseekers are encouraged to register with the PhilJobNet (http://phil-job.net/) starting April 8 to April 30, 2010 to hasten skills and job matching and the placement of qualified applicants.

He added that a One-Stop Shop where new graduates and other new entrants to the labor force may avail of pre-employment documentation services from the Department of Foreign Affairs, National Statistics Office, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Social Security System, and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) will also be set up at the Job Fair venues. Workers may also inquire on the services of Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund), Professional Regulation Commission, and FFW.

Aside from the job fair, the venues will also showcase the livelihood programs of DOLE and other government agencies to provide livelihood opportunities to interested clients. It will include display and selling of products of livelihood program beneficiaries. Various government agencies including labor groups will put up livelihood and productivity information booths to provide business counseling and entrepreneurship orientation to interested workers. Interested registered nurses who want to venture in other health and wellness services may also be assisted under Project EntrepeNurse. At the same time, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will conduct skills competition, demonstration, and training. Other agencies will provide basic medical and first aid services, and legal and welfare assistance.

Here is the complete list of the simultaneous regional Jobs Live! venues in the other regions:

Over 20, 000 jobs created through SVEG Program

More than 20,000 jobseekers benefited from the special visa for employment generation (SVEG) program of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) since its launch in April 2009.

According to the report of BI legal officer Cris Villalobos, 126 foreign businessmen availed of the job visa and have paved the way for almost 20,000 workers residing in Metro Manila to find a job.

Aside from Metro Manila, 45 foreigners and their dependents availed of the SVEG from Region IV, comprising of the provinces of Batangas, Laguna, Cavite and Quezon. Companies of these SVEG holders employed at least 6,977 Filipino employees. Other 151 SVEG holders are based in Regions 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12 and created 6,327 jobs for Filipino workers.

A breakdown of the list of visa recipients showed that 128 Koreans topped the list, followed by 42 Chinese, 24 Americans, 18 Taiwanese, 13 Indians, 12 Britons, 11 Japanese, nine Australians, six Singaporeans and four German nationals.

The visa entitles the foreign holder to stay indefinitely in the country for as long as his or her investment subsists.

Under the rules, a foreigner applying for the visa shall certify that he or she maintains a lawful immigration status in the Philippines; 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 by the government to attract foreign investors to the country and at the same time generate job opportunities for Filipinos.

Mr. Villalobos, who heads the BI-SVEG one stop shop, also disclosed that the government earned more than P5 million since the government launched the program last year.

BPO Industry Generated 70,000 New Jobs

The country’s sunshine industry, the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector was able to create a total of 70,000 new jobs and posted a 19 percent increase last year.

Based on a presentation during the 10th e-Services Global Sourcing Conference and Exhibition held at the SMX Convention Center, Business Processing Association of the Philippines Executive Director for Information and Research Gillian Joyce Virata said the sector now has 442, 162 employees and generated more than $7.2 billion in revenue last year, an increase of 19 percent from $6.1 billion last 2008.

The voice BPO still leads with the highest number of revenue share and job creation. It posted its 2009 revenues at $5 billion, a 22-percent increase from 2008 and gave jobs to 280,000 people. This was followed by back office or non-voice BPO, with $1.1 billion in earnings and 86,000 employees.

Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICT) Commissioner Ray Anthony Roxas Chua III said that the BPO industry is expected to pickup this year. He said that the country has to prepare for this by maintaining the supply of manpower and invest on infrastructure. While voice BPO is expected to grow, Comm. Chua said that non-voice BPO or knowledge process outsourcing is slowly gaining ground here in the Philippines.

In her presentation, Ms. Virata laid down the priority projects for 2010 which include the creation of a virtual BPO university, the rollout of the National Assessment Competency Program to an initial 10,000 students, the provision of P350 million worth of scholarships under the Pangulong Gloria Scholarship fund, the launch of a local and international campaign on the Filipino knowledge worker, and the conduct of the 2nd International Outsourcing Summit.

Ms. Virata said that legislation is also one of the priorities for 2010, specifically, the creation of the Department of Information and Communication Technology and the passage of the data privacy bill.

Pinoys to Look Forward to More Jobs Abroad as KSA Megacity Expansion Continue

Filipinos gunning to work overseas, particularly in Saudi Arabia, can look forward to a higher chance of getting hired as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) continues its mega industrial and economic cities expansion until 2024.

Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Marianito Roque said that based on the report by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, KSA’s medium to long-term socio-economic development plans include the development of 12 mega industrial and economic cities across the Kingdom which are expected to employ millions of local and foreign workers until 2024.

Sec. Roque also cited a study by the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce which estimated that 10 million local and expatriate workers will be needed by the major development projects in the KSA. He said that with the robust construction activities aimed at making the KSA one of the world’s top investment destinations, it is projected that the Kingdom will remain the top OFW destination over the next several years.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be in need of aluminum installers, architects, carpenters, concrete finishers, draftsmen, drillers, electric/mechanical assistants, electricians, engineers, erectors, fabricators, foremen, heavy equipment operators, watchmen, mason, pipe fitters, plaster painters, plasterers, plumbers, riggers, safety officers, welders, and mechanics. Oil and gas workers will also be in demand in the Kingdom for the long-term projects.

Meantime, the following four integrated economic cities have already been launched in the KSA at a cost of about US$ 16 billion: 1) King Abdullah Economic City in Rabigh, KSA with a potential to create one million jobs; 2) Jazan Economic City in Jazan, KSA which is projected to generate 500,00 new jobs; 3) Prince Abdullaziz Bin Moussaed Economic City in Hail, KSA which expected to become the largest transportation and logistics hub and supply chain centers in the Middle East; and 4) Knowledge Economic City in Madinah, KSA.

Other economic cities already launched in the KSA are the Hail Industrial City and Al-Mal Economic City. The Kingdom’s development projects also include a US$ 5.3 billion (SR 20 billion) light rail, buses, and sea transport system.
