TACLOBAN CITY – Josephine Jaballa, 42, found herself out of work after her contract ended last January with a poultry company in Albuera town, Leyte province. ADVERTISEMENTThe more than 100 protesters, spearheaded by the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice, called on President Duterte to make good his promise to stop the practice. At the Tacloban Convention Center, Randy Servañe, 40, was among those who attended a jobs fair sponsored by the DOLE. “Hopefully, I can find a stable job here,” said the native of Tanauan town, Leyte, and father to eight children, while scanning the lists of companies that joined the jobs fair. According to the DOLE-8, the whole day jobs fair had 7,000 slots, of which about 3,000 were for overseas employment.
