POEA, CHR discuss
gripe against PESO

Two lawyers from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration central office in Manila met with provincial Commission on Human Rights investigator Jesus Cañete, and Love Joy Anino, representative of the complaining jobseekers in Dumaguete City, recently.

The lawyers, whose names were not disclosed, were accompanied by POEA-7 regional director Evelia Durato, to the closed-door meeting where they were apprised of the controversy involving the two heads of Public Employment Services Office: Grace Jamio of PESO Lapu-lapu City in Cebu province, and Ramon Benedicto of Negros Oriental. Several job applicants have complained against the two, claiming that they completed six-week training in Korean language, only to find out that no jobs await them in South Korea.

roadmap launched

The Negros Oriental Tourism Roadmap was presented in a workshop in Dumaguete City recently, attended by about 100 stakeholders, to ensure support to the development of tourism as guide for sustainable and inclusive economic growth in the province, a government press release said.

With the blueprint, Gov. Roel Degamo said his administration is bent on using the tourism industry as the main component for creating livelihood and employment opportunities for Negrenses.

Department of Tourism 7 regional director Rowena Montecillo said that, based on records, international tourist arrivals reached 463,359 in 2013, or a 50 percent increase compared to 2012, the press release also said.
