Roxas City Mayor Vicente B. Bermejo created a new office at City Hall just to handle job applicants for domestic or foreign jobs. This office is known as Public Employment Service Office (PESO) under the office of the city mayor. Bermejo’s action is addressed to curb unemployment in Roxas City.
Milagros T. Barquin, PESO head, said this office has facilitated the deployment to various countries of 16 applicants for international employment.
The names, occupation, country of destination and departure dates of those deployed are as follows:
Michelle Obrique, tutor, Singapore, June 1; Joel Alcazar, mechanical engineer, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, June 27; Sheryl Plasa, domestic helper (DH), Hong Kong, June 5; Myla Bebela, DH, Hong Kong, June 16; Mercy Tupaz, DH, Hong Kong, July 2; Ada Alayon, DH, Hong Kong, July 4; Losarita Uriza, DH, Kuwait, July 4; Nemelyn Rose Benigla, DH, Kuwait, July 4, in 2008.

This city chief executive has conducted, through the PESO office, two major Jobs Fair, 16 Special Recruitments activities and three batches of Call Center Training activities in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry and the Social Welfare and Development and skills demonstration on flower arrangement, food preservation and fashion accessories.
All of these aims for the transparency program of development of Mayor Vic Bermejo geared on his battle cry: "Sulong Roxas City".

Columbus Day In Roxas City
The Archbishop Antonio Frondosa Assembly of the Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus (K of C) in Roxas City celebrated last week Columbus Day with a motorcade around the principal city streets and a gift-giving sortie to the Home for the Aged at Barangay Banica, Roxas City.
This assembly is headed by Faithful Navigtor Bienvenido P. Cortes. It is composed of six K of C Councils under the jurisdiction of District V-116 under District Deputy Vicente B. Doloso.
These councils are the Roxas City Council No. 3691, St. Therese de Avila Council No. 9013 in Loctugan, Roxas City, Mt. Carmel Council No. 9279, Roxs City, Ivisan Council No. 9379, Ivisan, Capiz, Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion Council No. 13916, and Sancta Maria Regina Seminarium Council No. 13997, Cagay, Roxas City.
The motorcade was successfully conducted with the support of the Roxas City government. City Mayor Vicente B. Bermejo is himself a Fourth Degree Knight.
According to Cortes, the motorcade held to commemorate Columbus Day was one way to make the Knights of Columbus visible and active in parish and community activities.
At the Home for the Aged, the Knights distributed foodstuffs consisting of rice, noodles, bread, bananas and other fruits, sewing materials and fruit juices. The elderly "boarders" and their caregivers were graciously happy for the goods and cheers given them. The Home for the Aged is managed by the Ladies of Charity.
Meanwhile, the Assembly through the St. Therese de Avila Council 9013 of Loctugan celebrated Columbus Day on Oct. 11 with a mass wedding of seven couples. District Deputy Doloso with Grand Knight Lorenzo Aponesto facilitated that activity with Rev. Fr. Ramon Hontiveros, parish priest and Council Chaplain, officiating the wedding rites. /MP
