Aug 1, 2004
The South Korean Ministry of Labor has announced an initial quota of 6,000 for the Philippines in the implementation of the Korean employment permit system this coming August 2004. The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration Administrator Rosalinda D. Baldoz said the 6,000 names, in addition to the 2,096 OFWs who have previously worked in Korea shall be submitted to the Korean labor ministry on August 2004 for selection by employers.
First Secretary of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Philippines Bae Han-jin wrote in a letter to POEA that the quota refers to the number of workers which will be included in the list of available workforce from the Philippines for the period August to December 2004. The allocation is for 3,500 workers in the manufacturing industry and 2,500 for the construction sector.
But according to Bae Han-jin, your name on the list it does not promise an offer of employment and not all 6,000 will be hired. The decision to hire any worker from the list for a particular job opening is the sole prerogative of the employer.
All application received as of July 13, 2004 shall be considered for complying with the 6,000 initial quota. Applications received after the date shall be processed for inclusion in subsequent allocation
Selection of the names to be submitted to Korea will be based on a new set of criteria formulated by POEA like length and quality of work experience and training, education, and personality and medical test results. Baldoz said POEA will notify the 6,000 applicants by mail for their interview and medical examinations.
Baldoz added that some 35,000 of the registrant have incomplete information and documents and their names will be posted in the POEA website. The names of applicants who were not included in the manpower pool for Korea shall remain in the POEA’s manpower registry for possible selection for other job vacancies.
