More jobs opening up in Clark

MANILA, Philippines – Employment in Clark, Pampanga is expected to continue booming as firms map out expansion of their operations in the Freeport, the Clark Development Corp. (CDC) said. CDC president Arthur Tugade said three companies which are on expansion mode are currently looking for qualified workers to fill-up vacant positions in their respective firms. Among the firms that are currently looking for additional manpower for their expansions and new operations are Australian business process outsourcing firm Beepo Inc., catering services firm La Rose Noire Phils. Inc., and hotel operator Midori Hotel and Casino. Midori will be the first five-star hotel to be established in Central Luzon and is expected to have a soft opening before the end of the year. As of end June 2015, CDC said Clark has already employed 72,875 workers, nine percent higher or 6,892 more compared to the same period last year. CDC added Clark is now enjoying its highest number of employment since its conversion from a military facility in 1993. Business ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1 “The increase in workers is attributed by the investors on the sound investment climate inside Clark since President Aquino implemented its programs,” CDC said.

Picking up the pieces in Tacloban

By: Luis Francia, August 22nd, 2015 02:37 AM NEW YORK CITY— Last month, I spent a little more than a week in the Visayas. I wanted to see what Tacloban was like in the year and a half after super-typhoon Yolanda ravaged it mercilessly, and how Bohol was dealing with the devastation—complete in some instances—of historic Spanish-era churches due to an earthquake a month before Yolanda. Most signs of devastation that rendered the capital of Leyte a series of apocalyptic scenes are long gone, though my taxi driver from the airport reminded me of what it must have been like, when he recounted matter-of-factly five deaths in his family, including his mother and two nieces. Life goes on, as it must, and Taclobanons don’t lie around, bewailing the (mis)fortunes of their city. They put their heads down and go about the daily business of working or studying or whatever it is they need to do or accomplish to get from one day to the next. Still, an air of forlornness and decrepitude pervades the city. It’s easy of course to paint the mayor, Alfredo Romualdez—nephew of octogenarian and former first lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos—as your traditional trapo, with more than sufficient evidence to justify doing so, but that is too easy a game. Enough slings and arrows have been hurled his way, and it’s a sure bet more will follow. The good citizens, and not just in Tacloban but I daresay in other towns and cities across the archipelago, know Read More …
