LINGAYEN – The Pangasinan Job Fair On Wheels of the provincial government rolled out on July 18 in Umingan town despite heavy rainfall that immediately benefitted hundreds of jobseekers.

“In my 36 years of service, ngayon lang ako nakakita ng Job Fair On Wheels. Congratulations, Governor Espino for pioneering dahil kayo po ang nauna sa buong Pilipinas na magkaroon ng Job Fair On Wheels,” he said.
