MANILA, Philippines – At least 50,000 Filipino construction and other skilled workers are set to be hired in Guam to construct a large military base in that US territory, the government said yesterday.
Augusto Syjuco, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority director general, said Guam will hire carpenters, welders, masons, heavy equipment operators, and cooks and waiters who will serve those construction workers.
To facilitate the immediate deployment of Filipino workers, the US government has allowed the issuance of “Guam only” visas, he added.
Syjuco said two senators from Guam are arriving in Manila this week for the preparatory hiring of Filipino skilled workers.
“The two senators will be staying from Sept. 2 to 4 to discuss preparations for the deployment of Filipino workers, and soon afterwards we expect the interviews and recruitment to start,” he said.
Syjuco said TESDA has now sufficient manpower to fill up the requirement in Guam. – Mayen Jaymalin, Philippine Star
