POLO APPROVES 10,000 JOB ORDERS AWAIT FOR FILIPINOS IN SINGAPORE

 Around 10,000 new job orders for Filipino workers are waiting in Singapore. 

"Even prior to the President's visit, our labor office in Singapore had already approved close to 10,000 job orders with 5,000 jobs awaiting aircraft technicians in the aviation industry," Ople said.

The newly approved job orders were referred for immediate documentation to the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Singapore are as follows:

Aviation industry - 5000 aircraft technicians

Medical industry - 3,000 healthcare workers

Engineering industry - 1,000 skilled workers

I.I. sector - 300 workers

Department of Migrant (DMW) Secretary Susan Ople said that a surge in demand for OFWs is the success of President Marcos' state visit to Singapore.

“Compared to other countries that also deploy migrant workers, our processing time takes months instead of weeks but with digitalization and given the remarkable talent and dedication of our workers, we expect a surge in demand for OFWs not only in Singapore but also in other parts of the world,” Ople said.
