LAOAG CITY—The convenience of shopping online makes things easier, avoiding long lines and traffic jams if you live in a bustling city.

In Ilocos Norte, the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) based at the Provincial Capitol is also offering a new way of shopping, this time, to match jobseekers to their prospective employers here and abroad.

“Just like online shopping, you can check for job vacancies posted online. Makikita doon ang qualifications, saan ang destino at background ng company ay meron na rin,” Nicole Rudio said, provincial PESO chief.

Launched last June 2014,the first Ilocos Norte jobs portal www.ilocosnortejobs.ph is being updated regularly to further promote employment opportunities in the province which is anchored on the provincial government’s priority agenda dubbed as “Manang Imee = Trabaho” or the so-called Task Force Trabaho program.

As a non-fee charging multi-employment service facility accredited pursuant to Republic Act No. 8759 otherwise known as the PESO Act of 1999, the government has mandated the establishment of PESOs at the local levels, mostly based  in local government units, non-government organizations, state universities and colleges and community-based organizations which were all linked to the regional offices of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for coordination and technical supervision, and to the DOLE central office, to constitute the national employment service network.

Taking advantage of the new age of recruitment, the jobs portal of the province benefits jobseekers even in remote areas with internet connection as the website serves as a one-stop access superior job- matching with extensive reach of hiring firms.


“Sa mga nanggagaling sa malalayong lugar, hindi sila gagastos sa pamasahe at sa jobs portal na lang sila mag-register at kung may gusto silang trabaho, pwede na rin silang dumiretso sa company or sa PESO for referral,” Ms. Rudio added.

Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops.
