THE Department of Labor and Employment said around 12,000 job vacancies will be up for grabs in the Labor Day job fair.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the department would be offering job opportunities for Filipinos nationwide on May 1.
Meanwhile, the Overseas Filipino Workers Hospital which was established in Pampanga’s San Fernando City, would also be operational on Labor Day, according to the DOLE.
Health services for employment will be free for OFWs, including including medical certificate and laboratory exams.
Some services will also be free for the relatives of the OFWs, but the guidelines are still being ironed out.
