POEA News Release to Clarify Report on Job Orders

The Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) has just recently posted a news release to clarify reports made by some newspapers regarding job orders abroad.

From the POEA website:
The demand for construction workers reported in some newspapers earlier were not for the US Mainland market but for Guam’s planned development starting 2010 of a modern and integrated military facility. Recruitment for Guam, however, is likely to take a longer time due to recent developments affecting the US and Japan on the issue of a replacement facility for the Futenma Marine base in Okinawa, Japan. The POEA also belied erroneous reports citing employment prospects in the oil and gas industries for the US.
