E. Career and Employment Coaching
Day to day, we are confronted with the sight of jobseekers lined-up to apply for job only
to be rejected later on. It is a wonder why there are still a lot of jobless people when classified
ads abound with numerous spreads of job vacancies. On the other hand, employers continue to
search for the right workers for vacancies in their firms. This situation tells us that
unemployment does not always mean a lack of jobs. It may actually be a result of a job and
skills mismatch.
This activity aims to help our jobseekers to be more competent and confident when they
get on with their job hunting expedition.

5. Participated in the PinoyWISE Movement Launching at United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Six (6) provinces were mobilized to participate in the PinoyWISE Market Place Event at
the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to showcase investment packages and business opportunities
for Overseas Filipinos and promote eco-tour destination in each provinces.
As one of the major labor sending provinces of the Philippines, the Provincial
Government of Laguna took part in this event, since this is the rare opportunity to enable us to
establish a network and linkage with the migrants.
A booth showcasing the tourism industry, and services of Laguna Province was put-up at
the Abu Dhabi Theater was a hit among the participants of the event.
More than 2000 Overseas Filipinos participated in the event, however only a few
Lagunenses attended the PinoyWISE Launching at the Abu Dhabi Theater. We found out that
the concentration of Overseas Filipinos (OF) from Laguna is in Dubai. Through less than the
number expected, we have presented various agricultural investment opportunities of the
province during the one-hour session allotted for each delegation. We have also presented
various services being offered by the Provincial Government of Laguna for the OFs and families
left behind, which are all integrated in the newly created OFW and Migration Center through
Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution No. 271, Provincial Ordinance No. 7 series of 2012. It
is also in this session that Ms. Isabel Warren, owner of Nanay Tuneng’s Products being sold at
UAE, and a resident of Dubai, UAE, commited to help the province to organize a Home Town
Association (HTA) of Lagunenses, since she hails from Magdalena, Laguna. Ms. Warren is also
the President of Filipino Investors in UAE.
In Dubai, we were able to organize a group which we have temporarily named as
“DuBaE”, with its core group leader. Mr. Joppette G. Lobusta, a former elementary teacher from
San Nicholas, Bay, Laguna. The names of members as well as the contact numbers were
submitted to the Embassy and the Welfare Officer for coordination and scheduling of a Financial
Literacy Seminar.
The members of DuBae committed themselves to expand their network and reach-out for
more Lagunenses they know, particularly those from Rizal, Laguna and Siniloan, Laguna.
The products we have brought along UAE were all BFAD approved (Uraro, Pilipit,
Turones, Banachips, Chocovron and Burdang Lumban) and were presented to various
supermarkets. It was fortunate that we were able to meet an entrepreneur who is interested and
has committed to visit Laguna sometime in March 2013.
We have also assured the embassy and its Welfare Officer that the Province, through its
OFW Center shall be active in assisting OFW’s in distress who sought their protection and
assistance. A communication network shall be established between our offices to provide a direct
communication and provision of assistance, should there be a need.
The Laguna delegates also participated in the meeting with the Philippine Business
Council (PBC) which took up various initiatives for a possible joint project of PinoyWISE, the
participating provinces and PBC. A Coop Mart was believed to be the most viable amongst the
projects identified by the group. This will showcase all products of the provinces who has
participated in the PinoyWISE Market Place Event.
A debriefing and Evaluation Meeting was undertaken between the delegates, the
convenors and the Embassy representative which concluded our travel in the United Arab
Emirates.
6. Assisted 2 OFW in distress from UAE.
During our consultation Meeting, were able to inter-act with two (2) OFs distress who
sought protection from the Embassy, to wit:
1. Marissa Cruzado (40 years old)
Balibago Complex, Sta Rosa, Laguna
2. Mermilyn Cayube (32 years old)

It was assured that assistance shall be provided by the Provincial Government upon their
return home.
