Sa Saskatchewan naman, ang proposal natin na MOU sa kaniya ay for the healthcare workers so mas broader ‘yong Saskatchewan,” added Patron.

As of posting time, there is currently no specific number of Filipinos needed in the province of Saskatchewan.

In Guam, construction firms are in need of skilled workers such as engineers, masons, and carpenters. On the other hand, in Portugal, there is a shortage of highly skilled individuals.

Kagaya po ng ating OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) na naga-apply ng trabaho abroad, mag-e-register lang tayo sa dmw.gov.ph tapos po ‘yong mga specific na requirements para sa bawat kategorya ng trabaho ay i-specify po ng ating mga employer,” mentioned DMW Assistant Secretary Levinson Alcantara.
