TAGBILARAN CITY, July 26 (PIA)–Job seekers, Bohol Capitol is sponsoring a jobs fair this Friday, July 29, but applicants, to be entertained by employers, need to pre register.
According to Capitol’s Bohol Employment and Placement Office (BEPO), an attached office of the Office of the Governor, registrations for Friday Fair are facilitated at the BEPO or the municipal Public Employment Service Office (PESO).
BEPO Ma. Vilma Yorong said the Jobs Fair, which happens at the Island City Mall Activity Center opens for overseas and local employment.
Signifying interest to join the first Provincial Government sponsored fair this year are 25 recruitment and employment agencies, each with their own options for local and overseas slots, Yorong said.
Aimed at bringing government services closer to its constituents, the jobs fair is among Bohol’s local efforts at facilitating proper jobs matching amid the rising problems of underemployment due to over-qualification.
Due to the expected turn-out, which could be very good considering the past Bohol sponsored jobs matching, BEPO has decided for the pre-registration as a strategy to also help PESO come up with a local directory of skills for future uses, BEPO explained.
At the PESO or BEPO, job fair organizers advised job applicants to bring the necessary documents to show to the PESO so the applicant can be listed according to skills or capacities.
Only thos who have pre-registered would be entertained this Friday, BEPO warns.
On Friday, applicants need still to come to the ICM in smart casual attire and present their documents including a comprehensive resume, school diploma or transcript of records and other job related certificates and employment records to show to agencies. (rac/PIA-7/Bohol)

TAGBILARAN CITY, July 25 (PIA)–Epektibo sa unang adlaw sa Agosto, magamit na sa publiko ang “911” isip national emergency hotline number.
Sa memorandum nga gipagawas sa National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), ilang gitahasan ang tanang mga telecommunication companies sa nasod nga mosunod sa maong special hotline.
Ang 911 maoy ihulip sa Patrol 117 nga una nang gimugna ubos sa buhatan sa Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Nagpasabot kini nga ang 911 ang numero nga angay tawagan sa publiko alang sa paspas nga pagresponde sa mga polis, bumbero ug emergency medical personnel sa kagamhanan.
Nanawagan usab ang NTC sa publiko nga likayan ang prank call sa maong numero tungod kay giseguro nilang ma-trace gayud nila kun kinsa man ang mohimo niini.
Kahinumdoman nga gimando ni Presidente Rodrigo Duterte ang paggamit sa 911 isip emergency number tungod kay napamatud-ang epektibo kini ug gigamit sa lokal nga kagamhanan sa syudad sa Davao. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

TAGBILARAN CITY, July 25 (PIA) –True to form and substance, President Rodrigo R. Duterte read, mumbled obviously too hassled reading through teleprompter, broke away and spiced his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) with quips that stirred and connected with people: his true brand of engaging.
From the initial line, when everybody loosened like the slow start of presidential speeches, Duterte immediately broke this by directed the gathering of Senators and Congressmen on the opening of the 17th Congress to the men from Mindanao now occupying the seats on top.
That same day, the senate elected senator Aquilino Pimentel III (Cagayan de Oro) Senate President while earlier, Congress also elected Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez (Davao del Norte) as House Speaker.
Earlier too, Palace sources have said the prepared SONA could take roughly 40 minutes excluding interruptions and pauses.
Pre-SONA leaks of the presidential address also got him teary-eyed, said Communications chief Martin Andanar.
But as soon as the President took to the center podium, he immediately broke his focus on the prepared speech every now and then and spiced the message with his own wit and impish remarks that has seemingly endeared him to the people who apparently abhor monotonous speeches in SONAs.
While reading, sometimes stammering and mumbling possibly from long compositions on the teleprompter, the president whipped up interest in the usual brand of conversation from his heart that has him close to his audience.
“He’s certainly grappling with that idiot board scrolling up his speech. At some point he stopped using it and went ad lib. At times when he returned to it he had to instruct the person manning its speed to move it up or slow it down,” a netster and Tagbilaran City barangay official Clement Paulinel Inking notes.
Even then, he talked , argued, laid his plans, spelled the details when needed and defined his vision by laying out his administration’s goals, aided by smart wit that had congressmen whom he accused of not supporting him in the past elections, laughing.
And within all these, the administration’s priorities include strengthening of the campaign against drugs, Mindanao peace, solving traffic, streamlining bureaucracy, modernizing agriculture and the adoption of a federal government.
While garnering over 90% confidence rating among Filipinos, the SONA still could not calm down the critics who pointed out that they had high expectations from the president.
“We wanted him to act like a president,” a critic intoned.
Most also pinned on the president the alarming numbers of drug personalities getting killed, apparently referencing these to the implied president’s order for the authorities to get serious about drugs and clearly pass his message of his abhorrence to drugs.
Beyond all this, the president still instructed the police, “Do your job and you will have the unwavering support of the office of the President,” which again drew enthusiastic applause.
That same day, a CCTV capture of a hitman who got the surprise of his life when a police in civilian clothes picked him before he could hurt his target in Batangas. This video circulated in social media circles now proves even hitmen are now getting their share of crimes while critics blame police brutality over these apparent summary executions of drug personalities and petty criminals.
And possibly referring to the campaign which has earned the open criticism of the Commission on Human Rights, he blared, “human rights must work to uplift human dignity, [it] rights can not be used as a shield to destroy the country.
This drew a ripple of applause that soon encompassed the halls.
On the other hand, he also warned police officers not to “abuse your authority” because there will be hell to pay. (rac/PIA-7/Bohol)
