The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) assured participants in the Overseas Job Fair held in Quezon City on Friday, May 1, 2026, that all jobs abroad offered during the event are legitimate.
DMW Guarantees Legitimate Overseas Employment
In her speech marking the 124th Labor Day celebration, Migrant Workers Undersecretary Dominique Tutay emphasized that the overseas job vacancies are from legitimate employers. "One thing that we can assure all our job seekers here is that the vacancies that are being offered by our licensed agencies are legitimate," Tutay said.
She also advised the public to be cautious of online job offers. "Let's not just believe online job offers. Just always look at the DMW website," she added.
Over 2,000 Jobseekers Participate
At least 2,000 jobseekers pre-registered for the event at Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas Avenue, Quezon City, with hundreds of walk-in applicants also joining. A total of 3,400 overseas employment opportunities were offered by 12 licensed recruitment and manning agencies during the fair.

The job vacancies spanned various sectors, including engineering, construction, hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and seafaring. Positions are available in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Croatia, Slovakia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Guam, and Papua New Guinea.
This initiative underscores the DMW's commitment to providing safe and legitimate employment opportunities for Filipino workers seeking overseas jobs. (Anton Banal/SunStar Philippines)
