Magandang balita para sa mga manggagawang Filipino na nais magtrabaho sa Estados Unidos.
Ayon kay Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, base sa pakikipagpulong nito kay Guam Rep. James Moylan, mangangailangan ng 15,000 manggagawa sa nasabing estado ng America para sa pagtatayo ng US bases sa Guam.
“Many bases of the United States in Okinawa are closing shop and moving to Guam. And because they are moving to Guam, Cong. Moylan is insisting to the US government that they hire Filipinos to construct the new bases and they are looking at 10,000 to 15,000 Filipino workers to go to Guam and help to build up the bases because they need to build the bases as soon as possible,” sabi ni Zubiri sa Kapihan sa Senado.
Ayon kay Zubiri, magandang balita ito para sa mga Filipino workers kung saan maaaring madoble pa ang bilang ng mga manggawang Pinoy ang magpunta sa Guam.
“Ang ganda po ng balitang iyun, kaya ako’y tuwang-tuwa kay Cong. Moylan on this particular issue. Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘aba, pag sinabi ninyo na 10,000 sigurado 30,000 ang available, ang pupunta diyan,” ani Zubiri.
“Of course, they’ll discuss how to get the H1 visa, I think H1 or H2 visa, it’s a working visa, and sila, they’re trying to get the State Department approval to hasten the proceedings para magawa itong mga bases nila sa Guam by Filipino workers. Wala po silang workers, konting tao lang po sa Guam, hindi po nila kaya, so they need about 10,000 to 15,000. That’s the good news that we bring into the table today, and hopefully, I’m working with the office of Cong. Moylan of Guam to make this happen, and get at least 10,000 to 15,000 Filipino workers to work in these bases in Guam,” dagdag pa nito.
