PRACELIS, Mountain Province – Five residents of this province’s eastern town were recently deployed to Japan, particularly in the Kumamoto Prefecture, for gainful employment as iron and farm workers under the privately initiated Join Us for Progress (JUP); Jobs, Jobs, Jobs program of the Dominguez family.
Flora Awingan, local coordinator of the Nihonggo language training in the municipality, said that the recently deployment of the qualified residents to Japan will prove that the program achieved initial success in the locality and that many interested individuals are inquiring on how to avail of it in the coming months.
Further, she claimed that two of the deployed workers are iron workers while their three colleagues were into farm work in prestigious companies in the said Prefecture.
Aside from the earlier deployed workers, she claimed that there are also two residents who are on deck and awaiting the next steps prior to their deployment to the foreign land as building cleaners in a hotel.
Awingan disclosed that there are also three workers who will be interviewed by their prospective employers next week with the hope that they will hurdle the stage in the process so that they will also be deployed to Japan to work and provide for the needs of their families that will be left behind.
According to her, the initial success of the program in the municipality only proves that it will be able to replicate its successful roll out in Sabangan and Tadian where more or less 40 residents for the different parts were already deployed to Japan for various work assignments in different companies that partnered with the Manila-based Philippine Human Resource Global Information Center (PHGIC) to hire qualified workers from the province.
Earlier, the Dominguez family tapped the PHGIC as its conduit in the implementation of the aforesaid program as part of their long term commitment to provide the necessary opportunities to qualified workers from the different parts of the province to access gainful employment in the foreign land for them to help in improving the living condition of their families.
Awingan is keeping her fingers crossed that there will be additional residents from the eastern part of the province who will soon be deployed to Japan under the said program to entice more interested individuals to undergo the 4-month Nihonggo language training that will serve as an initial step towards their desired brighter future of being gainfully employed in the developed country.
She also expects the ones that will be deployed to share their acquired skills and knowledge from their experience in Japan to other people to contribute in boosting the interest of other residents to try their luck from being employed by prestigious companies in Japan which is one of the country’s major trading partners in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Dominguez family tapped local Nihonggo language center coordinators in Paracelis and Tadian to assist the PHGIC in the conduct of the required classes through the assistance of the Bulacan-based Sage Asian language Center so that residents from the different parts of the province will not encounter difficulties in pursuing the said training which serves as a major requisite for their employment in Japan under the said privately initiated employment program exclusively for interested and qualified individuals from the province.
