Story 3: PNP stages job fair for two days

The Police Community Relations Groups (PCRG) of the PNP come up with a project of job fair for two days, July 24 to July 25 to help people in searching jobs and hopefully to be employed already.

PNP Chief Avelino Razon said, “The job fair we held now is contribution to boost employment, productivity and to abate poverty.”

Chief Superintendent Hadji Sukarno Ikbala, Sr., Director, of PCRG said they are expecting about 500 people to attend the job fair.

The PNP coordinated with Ignite Events to make the job fair possible. According to Razon, this is not only for the dependents of the PNP personnel but also for the other people as well who are looking for jobs.

According to Peter Aguila, Events Director of Ignite Events, they are also targeting high school graduate and the out of school youth, “We invited about 18 manpower agencies that would be able to help them look for a job. There are many offices that would be needing their help.”

Taking their chance to have work, about 300 attended the job fair.

Aguila said they are expecting about 300 of them to have jobs with their help.

Gigi Veniegas, 21, said she already worked as sales clerk in one of the malls in Manila about 6 months ago, and since she was a contractual her contract ended. Now she is looing for a job. She learened about the jobfair through his brother, SPO3 Allan Veniegas who happens to be a policeman assigned in Bicutan.

Veniegas brought along her friend, Aireen Alarcon, 21, who do not have any siblings at the PNP but she was able to submit her resume. Both of them are expecting to be hired after the series of interviews that they will have to go through. They are both applying as sales clerk.

Glomee Grace dela Cruz, 21, said he only have friend working in PNP as well who texted her about the job fair so she went with her husband Michael to apply, “We really need to have work, life is becoming more difficult.”
