โFor millions of Filipinos, employment is the means to provide for families, to put skills and education to good use, and to create a more secure future for ourselves. Our duty as a government is to ensure that they have the opportunities to pursue these goals,โ said President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. at the 2026 National Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Congress in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu on October 14, 2026.
In his speech, the President emphasized the need to expand access to employment opportunities, address the skills mismatch, and strengthen the link between training and labor market demands. He highlighted initiatives that provide temporary employment, skills development and livelihood support for Filipino workers.
The President cited the Administrationโs employment programs and job placement efforts, which have helped students, jobseekers and disadvantaged workers access employment opportunities and gain work experience. He also noted the implementation of wage increases in Central Visayas to improve workersโ earnings.
The Chief Executive reaffirmed the governmentโs commitment to creating more employment opportunities and strengthening social protection, emphasizing the need to ensure that every Filipino has access to decent work and a more secure livelihood.
โTogether, let us build a Bagong Pilipinas where every Filipino has a fair chance to obtain quality and decent work,โ President Marcos Jr. said in closing.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday, and most of the U.S. will turn clocks back one hour. โฐ
But 19 states have already passed laws to make daylight saving time permanent. Those changes can't take effect unless federal law changes first. For now, most Americans will continue changing their clocks twice a year. What do you think?

๐จ WOW! The President of the National Border Patrol Council just gave President Trump the most GLOWING endorsement:
"For 29 years and under FIVE presidents, I've been out there securing this border, and no one has given us the support that President Trump has given us."
"President Trump is BY FAR the greatest president in the HISTORY of this country."
"Without President Trump, this country will go to HELL again."

Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Defense Ministers' Meeting, on Wednesday, October 28, emphasizes the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia and the need for cohesion and unity among members of the bloc.
"ASEAN was founded on the belief that our strength lies in our diversity. We must therefore not allow our differences to divide us from within. And where such differences exist, including in the South China Sea, we will settle them through peaceful and legal means," Teodoro says.

Open borders and mass migration have crushed American families with rising rents and overcrowded hospitals and classrooms.
Under President Trump, communities that work with ICE are helping bring down rent costs for Americans.
