Muntinlupa opens employment opportunities to Japan

The return of Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi has signaled the reopening of friendly relations between Muntinlupa City and Japan, with employment opportunities for Muntinlupeños who are seeking work abroad.

“We are especially grateful to our Japanese friends who are once again renewing their trust and faith in the people of Muntinlupa,” Fresnedi said. “We hope that this will help our fellow Muntinlupeños who need jobs to support their families and achieve their dreams.”

The City Government is coordinating with the Phil. Assist Life Manpower Corporation through the Public Information Office (PIO) as the lead agency, the Public Employment Services Office (PESO) and the Muntinlupa City Technical Institute (MCTI) in sending skilled manpower and agriculture specialists to six-month to three-year contracts in Japan.

General requirements include the applicant to be a Filipino citizen, have no tattoo, no late registration NSO Birth Certificate, and no operation in the body. Those who have experience working abroad with the related skills have an advantage, but applicants must have been in the Philippines for at least two years.

Agriculture specialists must be between 20-30 years old, at least four years graduate or two years undergraduate with a BS in Agriculture, majoring in Crop Science, Animal Science, Horticulture, Agronomy, or at least high school graduate with experience in farming.

Opportunities for skilled work include welding, framing construction work, plumbing work, lathe machine operation, machine assembly finishing work (electronics), construction painting work, industrial packaging work, scaffolding work, bar assembly work, bread baking work, metal press operation, metal painting work, and plastic moulding.

The City of Muntinlupa has had sister-city relations with the City of Takasaki in Japan, leading to numerous training opportunities, educational scholarships, and cultural exchanges between the two cities, during the leadership of Mayor Fresnedi.

Preparations are currently ongoing for the renewal of sister-city relations with the City of Takasaki this coming November, promising more opportunities in the area of student and teacher exchange programs, skilled worker training, and medical assistance exchanges.

With the restoration of friendly ties, Fresnedi looks to carry on the legacy of honorable Muntinlupeño Kiyoshi Osawa, a Japanese philanthropist who supported numerous students with their education, and whose initiatives are now being implemented by his son Ichiro.

Those who wish to take hold of these employment opportunities can get in touch with PIO (862-4926), PESO (861-4633 / 659-2563) and MCTI (403-9629) for more details.
