“Overall, the event recorded a total of 559 qualified applicants for different job vacancies,” PESO said.

Help desks manned by government agencies were also placed to assist these job seekers and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).

Simultaneous with the job fair, a forum on Anti-Human Trafficking for Barangay  PESOs coordinators was held followed by a Financial Literacy Workshop for OFWs.
