ORMOC JOB FAIR ... from P. 2 kinabuhi sa mga lumulupyo diri sa Ormoc. We are here to improve the lives of our people in Ormoc. Ang among objective is to develop Ormoc City aron ma-attain namo ang full potential sa atong syu- dad,” shared Ormoc City Mayor Richard I. Gomez as he delivered his welcome message. He then added that in last year’s Labor Day Job Fair, there were about 190 applicants who got hired on the spot. In this year’s Job Fair, they were targeting over 200 applicants to be hired on the spot. Ormoc City Councilor No- lito M. Quilang also delivered an inspirational message to the job seekers, saying, “Kining em- ployment, this is an economic empowerment tool... The work and the job enable a person to think of so many options in his/ her life... It empowers a person to do a lot of things. Therefore, the conduct of a job fair is very impor- tant and relevant especially to the unemployed ones... Ang pagsulod sa trabaho, usa ka hagit ug usa ka challenge. But to stay long in the work is another challenge. Malipay ta kung makasulod ta. Pero once makasulod ta, dili na ta maningkamot. Ang atong ambi- syon, basta lang makasulod. Lahi na pud na nga pagpaningkamot ang pag-mintinar sa atong tra- baho. To seek job and to maintain a job are both major challenges. So atong ampingan ang atong trabaho kay dili tanan swertehon nga makasulod og trabaho.” The ceremonial ribbon-cut- ting followed thereafter, as ini- tiated by Mayor Gomez and Primo Guarin (Senior Labor and Employment Officer, DOLE-West Leyte Field Office), together with Josephine B.

Just moments after the cer- emonial ribbon-cutting, which signified the official opening of the Labor Day Job Fair, PESO staff excitingly announced that there were already three females who got hired by Mitsumi, Inc., a giant electronics manufacturing company located in Danao, Cebu.
