Aquino govt committed to providing employment to every Filipino

Posted on March 14, 2015

MANILA, March 14 (PNA) — Malacanang made an assurance that it will continue to pursue initiatives that give Filipinos employment to improve their lives.

A report by the Philippine Statistics Authority indicated that the country’s unemployment as well as its underemployment rate have gone down. But it also reported that there are 2.6 million Filipinos who remain jobless.

To address this concern, Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said among the main efforts include the coordination among government agencies involved in providing employment.

These agencies are the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, Department of Labor and Employment, Commission on Higher Education, and Department of Education.

“Sila ang mga naatasan na magtulak ng convergence na laging ipinapaalala ng Pangulo,” Valte said in a radio interview over dzRB Radyo ng Bayan on Saturday.

Another government effort is the continued attraction of new investments, Valte said noting that the country’s foreign direct investments increased last year.

The Philippines more than doubled its foreign direct investments in the last two or three years, according to Valte.

“Ang continued optimism ng ating mga businessmen ay nakikita naman nating patuloy na nagbubunga kasi dumadami ang mga industriya na pumupunta sa Pilipinas para magbukas ng kanilang mga negosyo dito,” she said.

Those who have existing operations in the Philippines are also expanding, she noted.

“Kaya ang lagi hong sinasabi ng Pangulo ay dapat tinutulungan ang mga industriyang ito para siguraduhing level ‘yung playing field so everyone has the chance to grow their businesses and, in turn, making more jobs for our people,” she said. (PNA)
