CITY OF MALOLOS – The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) celebrated its 92nd Anniversary with a series of regionwide job fairs in Central Luzon, including a Job Fair for Local Employment and One-Stop Shop organized by the Provincial Public Employment Service Office (PPESO) at Robinsons Malolos.
Themed as “Tatak DOLE sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Tapat, Nararapat para sa Lahat,” the event showed DOLE’s commitment to creating employment where hundreds of jobseekers explored 3,665 available positions from 25 local companies.
DOLE and PPESO set up a one-stop shop at the fair with partner agencies like the SSS, PhilHealth, PAG-IBIG, and BIR that allowed jobseekers to quickly process pre-employment documents and access government services.
Governor Daniel R. Fernando expressed his appreciation to DOLE for choosing Bulacan to be one of the venues of their job fairs.
“Lubos po ang ating pasasalamat sa DOLE dahil sa kanilang suporta sa ating lalawigan sa pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa ng job fairs. Nakatutulong po ito ng malaki sa ating mga kalalawigan na hindi na kailangang lumuwas pa upang makapag-apply ng trabaho,” Fernando said.
Meanwhile, Joy Amarie M. Bernardo, the first applicant to be Hired-On-The-Spot as a service crew, thanked the organizers for the opportunity.
“Nagpapasalamat po ako sa DOLE sa pagbibigay ng ganitong mga oportunidad. Sa panahon ngayon, napakahalaga po ng mga job fair tulad nito dahil malaking tulong ito sa mga naghahanap ng trabaho. Sisikapin ko po na pahalagahan ang pagkakataong ito,” she said.
DOLE Region 3 Assistant Regional Director Alex Inza-Cruz noted that DOLE conducted simultaneous job fairs from December 2 to 5, 2025, in Tarlac, Bataan, Pampanga, Aurora, and Bulacan for the anniversary.
PPESO Head Engr. Egbert R. Robles encouraged the public to check the official Facebook pages of Provincial PESO Bulacan and DOLE for updates on job opportunities. (UnliNews Online)
