The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) regional office recently recognized the Bacolod City Public Employment and Service Office (PESO) as “Best PESO Employment Information System (PEIS) Implementor” in the Western Visayas.

PEIS records the profiles, qualifications, and skills of all registered applicants and employers.

PESO-Bacolod officer-in-charge Ma. Rebecca Balicas, who presented the plaque to Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia at the Bacolod City Government Center, said the award is given to the locality with the highest number of PEIS registrants.

She noted, PEIS also helps in determining the percentage of employed, unemployed, and underemployed in the city./WDJ
