"Employment is one of the most necessary steps to mitigate the economic impact of this pandemic - employ deserving applicants," said Mayor Noel Philip S. Naguit to over 300 applicants who filled up the venue during the municipality's first job fair held at the Sta. Rita Evacuation Center in Minalin, Pampanga last November 23.
The event was made possible through the collaboration of the PTC Talent Acquisition Group (TAG) headed by Capt. Ronald SJ Enrile with the help of Raul Manlapaz, Minalin resident and former seafarer, and the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) headed by Erica Jay Mercado.
Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Inc., Lifelinks International Resources Inc., and MSCCS Crewing Services Philippines participated in the one-day recruitment activity and offered over 100 job openings to residents of Minalin and other communities around Pampanga.
During the short program, Captain Florencio Jampil, Director for Business Development for Crewing and Shipmanagement, introduced each of the participating PTC business units and encouraged applicants to do well in the interviews.
Some applicants who were hired on the spot shared their experience at the job fair. "Nalaman po namin na papunta po ang PTC dito sa Minalin nung nakita po namin yung post sa MSC at sa FB page po ni Mayor Philip Naguit. Since kami pong magkakaibigan ay may background sa food industry, nakakatuwa po na pwede po pala kami mag-apply sa seabased or land based jobs. Kaya maraming salamat po sa PTC for giving us a chance na mag-apply sa MSC at Lifelinks. Talagang very well organized po lahat and the staff have been very helpful po sa aming mga applicants," shared Jomar Buyo, Gino Domingo, and Camae Angeles, former food attendants from Pampanga.
Ryan de Jesus who was hired as an assistant bartender shared his excitement and appreciation with the organizers of the job fair. "Kudos to the whole team who organized this job fair. I am very happy and thankful that out of hundreds of applicants for cruise openings, I was hired by MSC as an assistant bartender. They are very accommodating to us applicants and are following their standard when it comes to interviewing applicants."
Mayor Naguit added, "Isa lamang po ang aking masasabi sa mga mapalad na matatanggap sa trabaho ngayong araw: Mahalin nyo po ang nyong trabaho. Thank you, PTC, for bringing jobs to our beloved Minaleños."
