PESO head Francisco Heler Jr.
The Iloilo Provincial Employment Services Office (PESO) headed by Mr. Francisco Tirador Heler, Jr. has affiliated with the Industrial Personnel and Management Services, Inc. (IPAMS) to provide Ilonggos great employment opportunities abroad.
IPAMS is a respected recruitment agency which has been deploying an average of 100 quality Filipino workers per year to the famous Dubai Duty Free since 1994.
The fourteen applicants scheduled for
Dubai this August.
Last Saturday, June 24, 2006, IPAMS' Assistant to the President and Project Coordinator Jay Coska personally oriented the first 14 lucky applicants who will be flying to Dubai this coming August. Another 35 aspiring Duty Free applicants will be deployed by November or December of this year.

"We are looking to Iloilo as another potential area for recruitment," says Coska.
Dubai Duty Free is one of the most sought-after destinations of Filipino workers. In fact, DDF Human Resource Manager Nic Bruwer, himself, did an interview with the applicants here in Iloilo weeks before the said orientation. Among the big names behind DDF are two Filipinas: Mrs. Ester Basug, DDF Shop and Food Manager, and Miss Andea Lorenzo, DDF HR Assistant for 6 years.

"The role of PESO here is to facilitate employment. What I am doing is to look for recruitment agencies. Check it with the POEA, inform the public especially the target client. IPAMS is good. The workers need not pay a single centavo for placement fee," shares Mr. Heler.
Through PESO and IPAMS, a lot of Ilonggos are beginning to breathe life into their dreams.
