The Quezon City Public Employment and Service Office (PESO) has started preparing a master list of skilled and unskilled workers from each of the 142 barangays in the city for employment purposes.
The move is in anticipation of the enactment of a proposed ordinance passed on second reading which, in effect, complements Republic Act (RA) No 6685, an act requiring private contractors, who have been awarded public work projects, to hire 50 percent of the unskilled and 30 percent of skilled labor requirements from the bona fide residents in the province, city or town where the projects is to be undertaken.
In filing Proposed Ordinace (PO) 05-70, District 1 Councilor Elizabeth Delarmente underscored the need to implement to the letter RA 6685 to strenghten and expand the existing employment facilitation service at the local levels.
