PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III vowed on Wednesday to continue his advocacy to rid government of corruption and eradicate poverty by pursuing the removal and prosecution of other corrupt officials in government and implementing further reforms in order to sustain the momentum gained from his advocacy.
In his speech keynoting the International Conference on Public Administration and Governance, a gathering of governance experts, at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City, the President enjoined all Filipinos to join him in this campaign.
“Clearly, our reforms have won us momentum. And it is up to us, to all of us—whether in the private or public sector—to maintain this momentum,” the President said.
“There remain serious challenges ahead. The problem of poverty is one that must be solved. There are still corrupt officials who will be prosecuted and jailed. The changes we envision are massive, and these changes cannot be enacted by a single office. We have to do it together,” he added.
He pointed out that by endeavoring to achieve this feat as a whole would ensure that this “dream” would be completed faster.
“Through our shared efforts, we are beginning to realize the dreams we share with the Filipino people. We have, in fact, been steadily and noticeably upgrading the Filipino dream. With your help — imagine the impossibilities we can make possible, and achieve,” the President said. (PCCO)

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, June 26 (PIA)–Mas maayo nga isipon na lamang nga tabang sa gobyerno alang sa mga overseas Filipino worker (OFW) sa Europa ang pagpahulam sa nasud og $1 bilyon sa International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Reaksyon kini sa Malakanyang sa pahayag ni Senator Gringo Honasan nga dili transparent ang pagpahulam og $1 bilyon nga giingong mas maayong gigamit na lang sa poverty alleviation program sa gobyerno.
Matud pa ni Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte, gi-respeto nila ang pahayag sa senador apan kinahanglang masabtan sa mga nibatok sa lakang sa gobyerno nga tabang na usab kini sa Pilipinas sa mga nasud sa Europa kun mohinay ang ilang ekonomiya.
Pasabot pa ni Valte nga kun magkaproblema sa ekonomiya sa Europa, daghan usab maapektuhang mga Filipinong nagtrabaho didto.
Una nang miingon si Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Diwa Gunigundo nga dili pagpasigarbo sa gobyerno ang pagpahulam og $1 bilyon sa IMF.
Giingong naa sa charter sa BSP ang ilang gihimo ug gawas niini, ang halos $77 bilyong gross international reserve sa Pilipinas naka-invest usab sa US Treasury ug Japanese funds. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

Daghang trabaho buksan sa Canada ug Middle East
TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, June 26 (PIA)–Libuang trabaho ang gikinahanglan karon sa Middle East ug Canada alang sa mga Pinoy.
Sa five-year development plan pa lamang sa Saudi Arabia, libuang trabahador na ang kinahanglanon sa pagtukod og mga bag-ong syudad, pabalay, kadalanan ug mga tulay.
75,000 ka Pinoy usab ang gipaabot aron matukod ang taas nga tulay nga magsumpay sa Qatar ug Bahrain.
Sa usa ka radio interview, gibutyag ni Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz nga in-demand pa usab ang mga nurses sa Canada ug Australia samtang kinahanglan usab didto ang mga skilled workers sama sa welder ug pipe fitters.
Bisan sa Malaysia, adunay five-year development plan na usab mao nga manginahanglan og mga construction workers, samtang 9,000 ka trabaho usab ang naghulat sa South Korea alang sa mga factory worker.
Apan nipasidaan ang kalihim nga kinahanglang siguradohon ngadto sa Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) nga lehitimo ang mga trabaho nga planong sudlan sa ubang nasud.
Angay siguradohon una nga adunay job order ang tanyag nga trabaho ug may accredited ug licensed agencies aron dili masayang ang salapi ug panahon.
Gitin-aw usab ni Baldoz nga walay placement fee nga angay bayaran kun mo-trabaho sa Canada ug Australia, samtang katumbas usab sa usa ka buwang sweldo ang placement fee sa mga OFW sa Middle East. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

HUNDREDS of thousands of Filipino workers are needed in the Middle East, according to Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz.
A construction boom in many parts of the Middle East is creating job opportunities for Filipinos. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates are undertaking big infrastructure projects that are estimated to cost $10 billion.
According to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), there is a huge demand for construction workers in the region. Construction workers typically earn between $400 to $800 a month.
Meanwhile, in Canada, skilled workers such as pipe-fitters, welders and farmers are needed, while in Australia, there is a demand for nurses.
In a radio interview, Baldoz said the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) are negotiating with Australia and Canada for them to recognize the schools where Filipinos graduate from.
In Asia, Malaysia is undertaking a 5-year development program, which will require hundreds of thousands of workers.
Around 9,000 Filipinos will also be allowed to work in South Korea as factory workers this year.
Baldoz said only licensed recruitment agencies will be allowed to deploy workers. She said it is important for jobseekers to check the POEA website first to see if the recruitment agency is a licensed one. (DOLE)
