Jobapalooza in Malabon City


A sight to behold, the Malabon City Hall

Maunlad na Malabon..Kaya naTIn iTO! Thus is the battle cry of the City of Malabon that gathered more than 200 applicants for the JOBAPALOOZA 2009 job fair.  This is my first time to see the City Hall of Malabon and my first impression is that I thought I was in a Hotel. The City Hall is so neat, clean and has a bubble elevator that has a transparent window in which you can see part of the City.  The proceedings were very orderly since City Officials were are hand to greet us and see to it that their constituents are  ready to face the challenges by providing seats, numbers and procedures on how they can pre register.

The Pogi Conquers Malabon City

We were very lucky because Malabon City Mayor , the Honorable Canuto “Tito” Oreta  was at hand to oversee the proceedings.  The Mayor received us at his office, I was with Jobapalooza “punong abala” LItes VIloria who is form DOLE and my former staff Kim de Leon who is now with STI College Caloocan.


Courtesy call with Mayor Tito Oreta

The Mayor said that he believes that there are many jobs available unfortunately a lot of Filipinos lack the necessary qualifications to be able to get the jobs that they like. The Mayor also discussed his projects in the City that made his constituents land jobs and is happy that the DOLE is spearheading this project to be able to give our displaced and disgraced countrymen an opportunity to be able to know the latest trends in job hunting and more importantly land a job.

 Fun time with Councilor Len Oreta

Funny thing though, one of the councilors, Councilor Len Oreta,  apparently is a schoolmate and even jokingly said that I was a funny guy in College and how the hell would people take me seriously with our projects.  We just laughed and talked about a lot of things with regards to the Ateneo and the City of Malabon. Len is one of the sons of former Senator and now Congesswoman Tessie Aquino-Oreta.

There were many people in the City Hall and we hope that by bringing the registration to the jobseekers of Malabon City we hope we helped them in their first step to get jobs.
