00:11where workers can look for a job that meets their needs.
00:17J.P. Soriano reports.
00:22Ishi will graduate next year in the Information Technology course.
00:27Because Ishi knows how hard it is to find a job,
00:31he is now trying to look for a job opening in a company.

00:41Ishi is also thinking of another one.
00:43The AI that replaces people who work is still there.
00:48The Labor Department also admitted that
00:50it is one of the ways in which artificial intelligence or AI can be used
00:55for possible reasons to reduce the number of IT and BPO or call center operators in the Philippines.
01:03But according to Secretary Benvenido La Guesma,
01:06instead of being a threat, AI should be seen as an opportunity to create a different type of job.
01:13It is important for Filipinos to be ready to learn new knowledge.
01:18This is an example of the courses related to information technology
01:23that can be offered for free by TESDA.
01:26Some will be lost, some will be found.

01:50The underemployment rate also increased,
01:53or those who have a job but the income is not enough,
01:56or the weight of the work is not right in terms of income and benefits.

02:07According to DOLE, underemployment is also one of the remaining challenges for Filipinos.
02:13Gian, an accounting graduate, is looking for a job after graduating,
02:18but she still plans to look for a job abroad.
02:23It is also difficult to find a job here.
02:26The income in other countries is also higher.
02:29It is said that people like Gian who are looking for a job abroad will not be stopped.
02:34But through Job Placement Office or JPO,
02:39like what was announced here in the University of the Philippines,
02:43those who have graduated will be able to find a job.
02:49And they can still do it.
02:50A better match would help in their employment.
02:55And the most important, the scholars of this country,
02:58we want them to work here in the Philippines.
03:01According to DOLE, based on the key employment generators for the coming years,
03:06the in-demand jobs will come from industries that are still involved in manufacturing,
03:12agriculture, transport and logistics, tourism, construction,
03:16healthcare, creative industries, education, and information and technology.
