TESDA: Over 4,000 job openings in Dubai



The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has announced that more than 4,200 jobs are waiting for female workers in Dubai.

The job orders from Placewell International Services are mainly for female workers with certified specialization on electrical installation and maintenance, plumbing, and refrigeration and air-conditioning, Secretary Joel Villanueva, TESDA Director General, said.

Villanueva said the hiring of certified workers would be until 2016.

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano also helped in the coordination between TESDA and the manpower firm.

"Placewell believes that TESDA-certified female workers are highly qualified to work in maintenance facilities of Dubai government institutions like hospitals, universities, and banks," Villanueva said.

"Placewell said that the salary range for the qualifications I mentioned is between 600-800 US dollars per month," he added.

Speaking at the 2014 TESDA National Directorate and Provincial Directors Conference, Villanueva challenged the agency's executives to ensure that TESDA's training programs "pave the road to employment."

He introduced the acronym TRABAHO that he said captured this role: Training, Re-Accelerating Access, and Boosting A High-impact Opportunity to every Filipino.

"TRABAHO is the most important agenda for TESDA this 2014 and beyond. TESDA should be into employment generation this time. Believe me, you have the power to generate employment. So use that power," Villanueva told the executives.

The TESDA chief said that training, along with assessment and certification, should be at the forefront of the agency's services where it should make a significant impact.

To date, he said that TESDA has 246 Training Regulations; more than 20,000 registered programs; a network of around 4,500 training institutions; and 170,000 registered users in its TESDA Online Program.

"We are happy with our accomplishments, but if we're not reaching enough Filipinos, and we're not reaching them on time, this has to change. Hence, we should re-accelerate access in our programs," he said.

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
