00:16Clayzel Pardilia with the news for the country.
00:20Yes, Anna, there's no need to spend a lot and go to different places just to look for a job.
00:28The administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. brought the work closer to the Filipinos.
00:35Today, CareerCon 2025 was held, one of the biggest job fairs this year,
00:41which was held by Puno Ejecutivo.
00:44More than 5,000 jobs were handled by the Department of Labor and Employment
00:49and a private company.
00:51150 employers from different industries were included.
00:57The purpose of this, Anna, is to bring the opportunities and jobs closer to the Filipinos
01:01and to reduce the number of Filipinos who have no source of income.
01:05This is President R. Marcos' statement.
01:07There are a few non-employed Filipinos, but we're not done yet.
01:14Whatever job they hold, it should be called a quality job.
01:21It has the potential to be promoted.
01:25Anna, 18,000 job seekers registered.
01:30Most of the jobs are in the information and technology, hotel and restaurant, and healthcare industry.
01:37Not only here in the Philippines, but also in other countries.
01:41CareerCon 2025 will provide opportunities, not only for entry-level jobs,
01:47but also for those who are looking for a life in the senior role.
01:50That's why DOLE is hoping that many former POGO workers will go,
01:55especially for those who have a higher salary and higher positions in the job fair.
02:03Career coaching and masterclasses will be held at the event
02:07to improve the skills of the workers who are given free DOLE.
02:13As I said before, we will apply.
02:17It's up to us to see if we can get it or not.
02:21Now, we are giving new skills or upskilling.
02:26We are improving what they are already doing.
02:31The job fair will last from 6am to 10pm.
02:40If we succeed, we will hold a big job fair every month,
02:45not only here in Metro Manila, but also in other parts of the country.
02:50That is the latest. Back to you Alan.
