Bacolod City Mayor Monico Puentevella at the job fair.*

About 30 local companies and seven recruitment agencies, including BPO firms Convergys, TeleTech, Panasiatic, Transcom and Teleperformance, took part in the MKK job fair yesterday at the Bacolod City Government Center.

Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella visited the simultaneous MKK job fair and Barangayan during his birthday yesterday, a press release from City Hall said.

“Thank you for helping our fellow Bacolodnons who are searching for a better life,” Puentevella, who turned 69 years old, said as he recognized the companies and volunteers in the event.

The MKK Barangayan on the other hand, streamlines Puentevella's advocacy to direct social services to the general public, the press release said.

Bloodletting, feeding and free haircuts were some of the services offered, it added.

The job fair was organized by the Public Employment and Services Office, while the Public Affairs and Assistance Division and the office of Councilor Claudio Punetevella spearheaded the Barangayan.*
