CLARK FREEPORT – Aiming to ease employment facilitation in this Freeport and in the province of Pampanga, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Region 3 in collaboration with the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) and the Clark Human Resource Council, conducted the first Clark Employment Stakeholders Forum here.
A total of 150 attendees, including human resource officers from various Clark locators and representatives from Local Government Units (LGUs) in Pampanga recently participated in the forum.
CDC President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devandera with Pampanga Vice Governor Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda, and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Region 3 Director Geraldine Panlilio supported the said event which endeavors to promote strategies that will fast-track and meet the needs of both job seekers and employers in the Freeport and in the province.
“We have to be united in pushing for programs that will support and ensure the welfare of our employees here in Clark. This also goes to show the premium that we give to our workers inside and outside the zone. In approaching and resolving the issues, concerns, and problems faced by our workers, we should have that holistic and whole government approach,” Devanadera said in her speech during the event.
Meanwhile, Pineda expressed her full support for the initiative to harmonize processes for workers and provide more job opportunities for Kapampangans.
“Gusto natin talagang bigyan ng priority ang mga workers dahil ang pangarap natin talaga ay yung walang maging problema at maging masaya ang mga workers natin dito sa Clark,” Pineda added.
