Palace: Local professionals need not worry about losing their jobs January 16, 201
Malacanang allayed the fears of local professionals who worry about
the entry of foreign workers in the country as the labor department
announced the hiring of foreigners to fill some domestic jobs.
Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said in a press briefing on Thursday in Malacanang that the government continues to prioritize job creation to reduce unemployment by working closely with the local industry.
Coloma said that the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is presently working with the private sector in reviewing the Philippines skewed occupational shortage list, as recommend by various industries, based on their request.
“Hindi ito unilateral action ng DOLE; at hindi po nanggaling sa DOLE,” he said. “Ang request po ay nanggaling sa industriya.”
The industry recommended that DOLE consider the feasibility of opening 15 categories of highly-skilled occupations to possible foreign employment because of the shortage in the local supply.
This is evidenced by the lack of applicants for such job openings and a survey done by the Bureau of Labor and Employment statistics of DOLE, he said.
The move could also serve as a signal to Filipino professionals working abroad to return to the country to fill this gap and for schools to realign courses offered to match the demand for highly-skilled workers in the country, the Palace official said.
The industry and the labor department continue their consultations on this issue to validate the need raised by the industry, Coloma added.
