Based on the record obtained by the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD), there are a total of 36,000 workers on the island; of which 17,000 are registered workers while 19,000 are unregistered.
With this, the government is set to conduct a job fair led by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for residents who will be affected by the temporary closure of the island.
The profiling of Boracay residents will help determine the appropriate jobs available in Kalibo, Antique and nearby provinces.
“Tinitingnan din ng DTI at DOLE ano yung meron doon sa main island na pwede nilang mai-offer. Doon meron tayong mini-livelihood na tinitingnan, kaya kasama natin ang DTI,” said Marasigan.
(The DTI and DOLE are looking into what the main island has to offer. There are mini-livelihoods being considered that’s why we have DTI with us.) — Lea Ylagan | UNTV News and Rescue
