New recruitment agency opens to cater to Vismin
With the continuing increase of workers leaving the country for work abroad, a Manila-based recruitment agency has opened a branch in Cebu City to cater to clients in the Visayas and Mindanao.
Reliable Recruitment Corp. opened its Cebu office this month at the second level of Raintree Mall after 25 years of deploying overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) worldwide from its corporate headquarters in Ermita, Manila.
It also operates branches in the Ilocos region.
“We came to Cebu for the convenience of our OFW clients and their relatives and to those who dream to seek greener pastures abroad,” said Zozimo S. Cabulisan, president and chief executive officer of the company.
Fly now, pay later
“Cebuanos and those from the other provinces in Central and Eastern Visayas and the whole of the northearn Mindanao need not fly to Manila to apply and process their papers,” he said.
“When they fly, that will already be to their country of destination.”
As the Reliable Cebu office opens, the company is offering a “Fly Now, Work First, then Pay Later” program to clients who will seek employment in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore, disclosed Arlene Tongco, Reliable–Cebu branch officer-in-charge.
Staggered
The company also deploys workers to Oman, Lebanon and Israel, ad-ded Tongco, who announced that their clients will only pay for their agency and processing fees when they begin to receive their salaries abroad.
“They will not even have to pay in full right away but on a staggered basis,” she pointed out.
“Dili lalim tinu’od nga makalarga abroad pero dili na karon kinahanglan pa sa pamilya nga ipamalgya ang mga baka’g baboy o’ isanla ba ang yuta o’ pinuy’anan aron lang makalarga ang ilang minahal ug gisaligan,” she said. (A family need not sell livestock or pawn pro-perties to raise money for a bread winner to go abroad).
Legitimate
Tongco said the company invested so much on the program “because we truly want to help our fellow Filipinos alleviate themselves from poverty.”
She also noted the program assures the company’s clients that a legitimate and a decent job await them before even leaving the country.
The company is a recipient of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration “Top Performer” award for four consecutive years now. (PR)
