Asian Countries Need Filipino Workers

  Jun 15, 2007

As economies of Asian countries like South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore continues to prosper, so are the opportunities for overseas Filipinos workers (OFWs). A report from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said that the positive economic development of the said countries opens more employment prospects for Filipino professionals and skilled workers.

 

The economic boom results to more labor demands to work on the construction of major infrastructures and industrial projects. Recruitment of foreign workers including OFWs becomes necessary. This is according to Danilo P. Cruz, Acting Labor and Employment Secretary.

On the other hand, Korea is in need of workers for their construction and shipbuilding industries. Other Asian countries with job openings for foreign workers are Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei.
