Website invites Pinoys Abroad to Explore job opportunities at home


Monster Philippines launched its ‘Return2Home’ program to encourage Filipinos residing overseas to explore available job opportunities in the country. The initiative is to target and connect with Pinoy jobseekers all over the globe and connect them with the foreign companies and employers doing businesses in the Philippines who are looking for skilled workers and professionals.

Potential opportunities in fields of mastery are the following: in OIL & GAS - recently, the Philippine Government has awarded offshore oil drilling contracts to several oil drilling companies off Palawan, Romblon, Masbate; MEDICAL SERVICES - several high-end medical institutions like St. Luke’s, Asian Hospital, Makati Medical, etc are expanding to serve foreign clients as well with the entry of big investors like Manny Pangilinan into this industry; and RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT in several key industries, especially in IT and microchip design; and EDUCATION because International Schools are now expanding to cater to both Pinoy and expat enrollees.

Because based on 2010 data, the Alien Employment Permits issued by the Philippine government through the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to foreign nationals have increased by 47%, and this gave birth to the big question: Why not take advantage of this opportunities if you have the same skill and qualification?

‘Return2Home’ Program is aimed to attract the right candidates with relevant global experience in their field of expertise, capitalizing on their advantage of being culturally attuned to the Philippines.

The Philippine economy is now dynamic and expanding, proving its resilience against the backdrop of the worst global economic recession, economic restructuring and downsizing witnessed around the globe.

The ‘Return2Home’ Program might just be the perfect window of opportunity for Pinoy expats who are hit hard by the economic downturn abroad.
