Malacañang welcomed the latest Labor Force Survey results showing over 1.42 million new jobs created nationwide and a rise in labor force participation.
In a press briefing, Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro said the Marcos administration is committed to inclusive growth by providing more stable and decent jobs.
“Mas maraming trabaho ang nakalaan sa ating mga kababayan. Ayon sa Pangulo, hindi dito natatapos ang obligasyon ng pamahalaan. Ang direktiba niya ay gawing mas aktibo pa ang paglikha ng trabaho sa bansa,” said Castro.
The government supports workers through programs like DOLE’s Life Assistance Program and the National Reintegration Network for returning overseas Filipino workers.
The Philippines also joins the ASEAN-led Digital and Green Skills for Youth initiative to prepare young Filipinos for future industries like green construction.
To boost employment, DOLE and 38 agencies issued a joint memorandum to speed up job-generating investments. TESDA and CHED are expanding training in semiconductor and electronics fields to meet growing demand.
“Ang mensahe ng Pangulo ay malinaw—lahat ng Pilipino ay dapat may pagkakataong umasenso. At ang susi sa pag-asenso ay disenteng trabaho,” the Palace official said.IMT
