Iloilo City PESO among best performing in WV
The Iloilo City Public Employment Service Office has been recognized by the Department of Labor and Employment as one of the “best performing PESOs” in Western Visayas.
Labor Provincial Director Filomeno Sonza recognized the City PESO in a letter to Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog.
He said the award was announced during the Regional PESO Capability Building Performance Assessment at Aklan State University in Banga last month, covering the evaluation period from January to September this year.
“Iloilo City PESO has met all the necessary requirements in all indicators such as submission of reports, registration, referral and placement of all applicants, and other employment related services,” Sonza said.
Mabilog also gave a Mayor’s Citation to City PESO manager Alan Zaldivar for his dynamic leadership.
“Such accomplishment is an excellent testament to the City Government’s incessant commitment and dedication to provide continuing avenue where job generation and work opportunities for our people are consistently provided for,” the citation reads.
“This outstanding recognition truly inspires our government to seriously address the unemployment condition which continues to plague our people as one of the chronic social ills which require decisive action from the state and its functionaries,” it added.
Last year, Zaldivar also received recognition from the federation of PESO officers, with an award of best in placement category and best in attendance.*
