Halos 30 local firms, 10 overseas at 7 government agencies ang kalahok sa job fairs na ito at inaasahan na sobra sa 2,000 bakanteng trabaho ang iaalok sa mga gustong makinabang sa programang Trabaho, Negosyo at Kabuhayan.

Mga lokal na pamahalaan sa Camarines Norte, hinikayat na magtayo ng tanggapan ng mga may kapansanan
DAET CAMARINES NORTE (PIA) – Hinikayat ng Persons Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) ng pamahalaang panlalawigan ng Camarines ang mga lokal na pamahalaan dito na magtayo ng tanggapan ng mga may kapansanan.
Ayon kay Rex Bernardo, provincial disability affairs officer, ito ay batay sa Republic Act 10070 na dapat magtayo ng PDAO sa first and third class municipalities at sa fourth and sixth class municipalities naman ay maglalagay ng focal person.
Aniya, kailangan lang na magkaroon ito ng budget at ordinansa o resolusyon sa paglalagay ng PDAO sa bawat bayan.
Ayon pa kay Bernardo, limang bayan na sa Camarines Norte ang mayroong tanggapan ng mga may kapansanan na kinabibilangan ng Daet, San Lorenzo Ruiz, Paracale, Basud at Labo at nakatakda na rin magkaroon nito ang ibang mga lokaal na pamahalaan ngayong taon.
Dagdag pa niya, umaabot na sa 6,200 na bilang ng mga PWDs sa Camarines Norte ang nasa kanilang datus kung saan batay sa National Household Census ay 34,000 ang mayroong kapansanan sa lalawigan.
Kaya’t hinihikayat ang mga lokal na pamahalaan na magtayo ng tanggapan ng Municipal Disability Affairs Office (MDAO) upang mabigyan ng prayoridad ang mga PWDs ayon pa kay Bernardo.
Sinabi pa niya na kasama rin ito sa Seal of Good Housekeeping ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) na idinagdag ngayong taon sa pagkakaroon ng PDAO sa bawat bayan.
Ayon pa rin kay Bernardo nakatakda na rin magkaroon ng wheelchair lift o elevator sa kapitolyo probinsiya ngayong taon para sa mga may kapansanan upang makarating ang mga PWDs sa ikalawang palapag na gusali para sa kanilang mga kailangan sa mga tanggapan ng pamahalaang panlalawigan.
Ang mga Persons with Disabilites (PWDs) na nangangailangan ng assistive devices o wheelchairs ay magsadya sa kanilang tanggapan sa kapitolyo probinsiya upang mabigyan ng naturang kagamitan.
Kailangan lang na magdala ng liham mula sa tanggapan ng gobernador, larawan ng may kapansanan at medical certificate bilang pagpapatunay na siya ay mayroong kapansanan ayon pa kay Bernardo.
Samantala, kamakailan ay isinagawa sa Social Hall ng Camarines Norte State College (CNSC) ang unang Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) Training para sa mga PWDs mula sa ibat-ibang bayan kung saan ibinahagi nila ang mga opinyon tungkol sa Local DRR Plan sa usaping may kapansanan.
Isinagawa rin ang pagsasanay sa mga kababaihang PWDs tungkol sa pagsisimula ng negosyo sa pamamagitan ng Seminar On Start Your Own Business sa Pratesi Café sa bayan ng Daet.
Binigyan rin ng pagkakataon ang mga may kapansanan na ipakita ang kanilang mga talento sa PWDs Got Talent sa selebrasyon ng anibersaryo ng pagkakatatag ng lalawigan at Bantayog Festival na bawat taon ng isinasagawa ng pamahalaang panlalawigan.
Maliban pa dito ay isasagawa sa Mayo 11 ang pagsasanay para sa mga bagong PDAO tungkol sa kahalagaan at tungkulin ng tanggapan upang matutunan ang mga pagpaplano at pagbabadget ng pondo para sa mga programa.

PIA 5 holds ASEAN Multi-Sectoral Forum in Legazpi City
LEGAZPI CITY (PIA) – In order to educate and raise public awareness on the relevance of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Bicol regional office held an ASEAN Regional Multi-Sectoral Forum today at Hotel St. Ellis in Legazpi City.
The forum was attended by representatives of the regions many social sectors like the youth, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community, the indigenous people, and the business community. The objective of the gathering was to discuss the concerns of the community with its corresponding focal person and to explain its relevance with the ASEAN.
To establish the ASEAN significance early on during the forum, the ASEAN rational was discussed first by the PIA Sorsogon Information Centre Manager Benilda Recebido. In her talk, she explained the background of the ASEAN integration and globalization.
“It is of great importance that we know more about the ASEAN because every member state has a lot to offer, we have a lot of resources from tourism to trade,” said ICM Recebido.
As she visualized in her talk, if ASEAN was a nation, it would rank third in terms of economy in the entire Asia and ranked seventh in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) in the entire world, with an average economic growth rate of five to six percent.
“ASEAN speaks with one voice. And because of what it offers to the world, it wields influence and is being listened to. It gained the world’s respect because of its achievements,” added the ICM.
Recebido also revealed that the Philippines has always been highly regarded in the ASEAN and looked up to in leadership. Thus, after the recent efforts done by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in strengthening diplomatic relations with our neighboring countries, the Philippines was awarded the chairmanship of the ASEAN and has been chosen as the this year’s host in its 50th year anniversary.
According to the ICM, this year’s ASEAN theme “Partnering for Change, Engaging the World” reflects the Philippine government’s advocacy to promote unity with and among ASEAN member states and its global partners. It invites everyone to become dynamic and vibrant allies towards a prosperous future.
During the multi-sectoral forum heads of relevant government offices were invited to talk and answer questions from the participants on the programs and actions taken by the government on current social concerns.
First among the invited speakers was Regional Director Agnes Espinas of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) of the Bicol region. In her discussion, she tackled the present issues on the socio-economic system and the country’s preparedness on the economic integration with the ASEAN.
Regional Director Arnel Garcia of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) also participated in the discussions as the authority in the field of social protection. In the forum, Director Garcia featured the many programs and accomplishments of DSWD and on how the country could be proud of it as a member of the ASEAN.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) also took part in the forum, as represented by DTI-Bicol’s Chito Aguilar standing in for Regional Director Jocelyn L.B. Blanco. Aguilar talked and answered queries from the participants about the means of improving business and economy, particularly in uplifting the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in the region.
Throughout the multi-sectoral forum, those in attendance engaged in many meaningful discussions, much to the delight of the supporters of the initiative from the local government and by PIA’s Deputy Director General Gregorio Angelo Villar.
“Today highlight is on how the different programs of the government, like social protection and economy, would inter connect and converge through the efforts of our ASEAN advocacies. This is important to us Filipinos as this is definitely something to be proud of,” said DDG Villar.(MAL/JBE-PIA5/Albay)

Albay LGUs declare support on the 2017 ASEAN
LEGAZPI CITY (PIA) – Showing unity with the administration’s actions in promoting the country’s hosting of the 2017 Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the provincial government of Albay and the city government of Legazpi declared their full support on the ASEAN during the Philippine Information Agency’s (PIA) ASEAN events last April 20 and 21 in Legazpi City.
Last April 20, PIA launched the 2017 ASEAN Information Kiosk at Legazpi City Domestic Airport for the purpose of raising awareness and drawing public support on the country’s hosting of the 2017 ASEAN. During the launching ceremony of the kiosk, leaders from the city government of Legazpi and provincial government of Albay were present and gave their respective message of support.
For the provincial government, Governor Al Francis Bichara was represented by Dorothy Colle of the Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office (PTCAO) on the launching event. According to Colle, the provincial government of Albay, namely the Office of the Governor and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Albay headed by Vice-Governor Harold Imperial, expressed their appreciation and full support for the PIA’S initiatives on the ASEAN promotion.
“This laudable project would surely help the Filipinos in general, and the Bicolanos in particular, appreciate the benefits of being a member of the ASEAN. Thus, this would pave the way for all the Filipinos contribute and do their best to make the chairmanship of the 2017 ASEAN a success,” said Colle.
Mayor Noel Rosal of Legazpi City was also present of the kiosk launching event and gave his blessing and support on the initiative. The mayor stated that it is the city’s proud privilege to stand behind such programs as it would benefit not only the Legazpi City but the entire Bicol region.
“Today, we are launching a very important endeavor for almost every sector of society. This is about the perception of our strength, and the perception of welcoming all for the common good,” said Mayor Rosal.
For the mayor, the ASEAN initiatives are a welcomed opportunity for every city and municipality in the region. In Legazpi City, for instance, which was recently recognized as one of the most competitive and well-traveled city in the country, being integrated with the ASEAN would be a moving force particularly in the field of tourism.
On the following day, Mayor Rosal also attended PIA’s Regional Multi-Sectoral Forum at Holtel St. Ellis in Legazpi City, where he reiterated his support for the 2017 ASEAN.
“We commend the PIA, and all the present government agencies here today, for creating this forum as a platform for leveling up our action to be recognized globally. With this, rest assured that the city government of Legazpi will always be here to support these efforts as we are sure that this is directed for the development of our communities,” stressed the mayor.(MAL/JBE-PIA5/Albay)
