200,000 jobs await Filipinos in Middle East
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo attended the Middle East Conference this Sunday, a conference that proved to be fruitful as she was assured of 200,000 jobs by Middle East employers for the rest of 2009.
The 200,000 jobs waiting for Filipinos was commited to the President through a manifesto that was given to her during the conference in Dubai. The manifesto which is also containing the output of the forum including job orders for Philippine workers.
The jobs in the Middle East which totals 222,131 waiting for Filipinos are: 107,525 in Saudi Arabia, 39,128 in the United Arab Emirates, 39,159 in Kuwait, 21,517 in Libya and Algeria, 11,356 in Oman, and 3,446 in Bahrain.
This is definitely a good news, as many OFWs have been going home since last year because of terminated contracts due to the global economic recession.
The availability of employments in the Middle East would definitely cushion the effect of the economic problem in the country, as well ease up the growin unemployment rate.
The manifesto given to her, the president said, contains the specific skills neeeded for employement. This will help the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to respond accordingly.
