Pangasinan PESO wins National Best Award
HALL OF FAMER
LINGAYEN— The provincial public employment service office (PESO) of Pangasinan was elevated to PESO’s Hall of Fame after winning the National Best PESO award in first class province category for three consecutive years, during the National PESO Congress on October 27.
PESO Pangasinan chief Alex Ferrer, who received the award, credited the Espino administration for making employment and livelihood programs as one of its priority programs.
Pangasinan PESO has placed 2, 311 applicants in various jobs last year, while 20, 000 were hosted for guidance and employment coaching while implementing DOLE’s projects “Tulong Panghanapbuhay” for disadvantaged sector, “NegoKart” and Special Program for Employment of Students.
Grace Ursua, regional director of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) commended PESO Pangasinan and the provincial government for placing the region in the milestone achievements on employment.
“It was a very good start for Region 1 to have one of its provincial PESOs included in the Hall of Fame at the opening day of the 15th National PESO Congress. The award is indeed well-deserved, as the Pangasinan PESO headed by Alex Ferrer and the province of Pangasinan under the leadership of Governor Amado Espino have remarkably contributed in promoting employment,” Ursua said.
“DOLE region one recognizes PESO Pangasinan’s initiatives that set the precedent for other PESOs. It is perhaps the only PESO in the country to be housed in its own spacious two-storey building enough not only to serve its clients effectively, but even to accommodate other agencies that provide employment-related services,” she said.
In reaction, Ferrer said his office will continue to work on other PESO projects like the migration and development program, manpower and enterprise development, skills development and labor market information. (Hilda Austria)
