SOUTH Korea needs some 20,000 Filipinos to work at the newly established Integrated Free Export Zone (IFEZ) Inchon, South Korea, says presidential economic adviser Joey Salceda.
Salceda, who is also Albay Governor said the government is now finalizing a memorandum of agreement with the Ifez to formalize the hiring of workers from the Philippines.
Salceda was recently installed as economic adviser of the South Korea Incheon Metropolitan Authority, which is implementing the US$178-billion Ifez project.
Incheon is a highly industrial metropolitan area in South Korea and the export zone is the biggest integrated development project at 35 times the annual infrastructure budget of the Philippines, reports said. (PIA)
