DMW: 10,000 new jobs now open for Pinoys in Singapore
Singapore has guaranteed nearly 10,000 new job openings for Filipino workers, a development that followed President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s state visit to the country.
Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Susan Ople met with Singaporean Manpower Minister Tan See Leng, who relayed the assurance of these job orders.
Approximately 5,000 of the available positions are for aircraft technicians in the aviation industry.
Other job sectors with openings include the medical industry (3,000 healthcare workers), engineering (1,000 skilled workers), education (500 workers), and the IT sector (300 workers).
Secretary Ople expressed optimism that the goodwill from the President's visit and the removal of a 27-year-old guarantee bond will create more and better employment opportunities for Filipinos in Singapore.
