AFAB, Bataan, Philippines — With the simultaneous arrival of big time investors in need of thousands of personnel and workers inside the Authority of Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB) here, the number of jobless in the province will fall in the next few months.
Since the enactment of the law creating AFAB, at least 2,000 personnel and workers have been hired and thousands more are being hired to fill the necessary various positions ranging from skilled sewers, office personnel, welders and other skilled workers, said Rep. Abet S. Garcia of the second district of Bataan, author of the AFAB law.
AFAB chairman and administrator Lawyer Deo Custodio reported to Garcia, chairman of the House committee on trade and industry that at least 10 multi-national companies have been pouring their investment inside AFAB in just a short time and these companies had employed around 2,000 personnel and workers.
Mayor Jesse I. Concepcion of this town said that they have already been preparing constituents for the jobs by giving them free skills training to enable them to be easily hired in AFAB even.
Concepcion said he was also lobbying for the prioritization of his town mates to be employed within AFAB.
He said that GN Power, a private firm being constructed to generate at least 600 megawatts of electricity in this town, is also in need of at least 500 welders and laborers, aside from the more than thousands already employed in GN Power.
