Job and business fair in 31 sites across the country will signal and earmark the nationwide observance of Labor Day this week as per directives of Labor Secretary Silvestre  Bello III in a Press conference held at OSEC Conference Room DOLE Bldg. in  Intramuros, Manila.


Labor Secretary Bello reiterated that among the activities of the May 1st groundbreaking festivities of the OFW  Hospital was to showcase the Duterte administration's grateful recognition of the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW's) and the Filipino workingmen as a whole.


The nearby soon-to-rise OFW hospital will be financed by the OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Administration) benevolent donors,  administered by the DOH (Department of  Health). The property was donated by by the Provincial Government of Pampanga. During the groundbreaking ceremony OWWA will award livelihood packages worth P 20,000 each to One Hundred (100)  OFWs under OWWA's program on Balik Pinas, Balik Hanapbuhay.

  
The Bureau of Local Employment indicated that more than 1,500 employers joined, who will be bringing with them more than 200,000 local and overseas jobs in the massive Trabaho, Negosyo, Kabuhayan (TNK) and Build Build Build job fair and business caravan.
