President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., in his speech at the two-day career con on Wednesday, emphasized the government’s support in pushing for more jobs for the unemployed Filipinos.
At the two-day Career Con 2025 of Jobstreet, hosted by SEEK PH and the Department of Labor and Employment, Marcos said that they are working on reducing the unemployment rate and looking for ways to get people “quality jobs.”
“Mas mabigat at mas malakas ang suporta ngayon ng pamahalaan para naman ay kayo ay mas may kakayanan upang makakuha ng magagandang trabaho,” Marcos said.
“Pakaunti na lang nang pakaunti ang hindi empleyadong Pilipino ngunit hindi pa kami tapos doon,” he said.
“Kailangan, kung anuman ang hawak nilang trabaho, dapat ‘yung tinatawag na quality job na may potential na ma-promote, na maging mas maganda, o kung sakali man ay magtatayo ng sariling negosyo na tinutulungan naman natin at tutulungan po natin upang makapag-expand, upang makapag… kung minsan, ‘yung iba na magsisimula,” he emphasized.
