MANILA, Philippines?Employment and business opportunities in the Philippines await overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) affected by the reported hiring freeze in Taiwan.
This was the assurance given by Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on Wednesday, following news reports of an estimated 10,000 Filipinos to be displaced due to a reported freeze hiring in Taiwan.
?We are still verifying the report. Initially, it appears that the figure of 10,000 is grossly off the mark,? Baldoz said in a statement. She said Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) historical records showed that the Philippines have been deploying only 2,000 to 2,500 workers a month.
The hiring freeze in Taiwan was triggered by its recent row with the Philippines over the May 9 fatal shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman suspected of poaching in the Balintang Channel by Philippine Coast Guard personnel.
According to Baldoz, there are more than 100,000 jobs posted at PhilJobNet, the official online job search and matching portal of the government.
Taiwan-displaced OFWs can also apply for jobs in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Israel, and Saudi Arabia which need production workers and personal services, such as care-giving.
