DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino delivered a special video message during the opening of the Kalayaan Job Fair at various job fair sites in Metro Manila on June 12, 2026, in celebration of the 128th Philippine Independence Day.
In his message, Secretary Tolentino pays homage to the service and sacrifices of our national heroes for our freedom and to the fact that we continue that legacy by creating opportunities to empower Filipino workers.
He expressed his gratitude to all partners and participating sectors for their unwavering commitment and support in making government services more accessible to the public.
โSa ating mga employers na sumama at lumahok ngayon sa ating job fair, taos puso din po akong nagpapasalamat sa inyo. Nawa ay matulungan natin ang ating mga kababayan na magkaroon ng trabaho at umuwi na may magandang balita para sa kanilang mga pamilya,โ he said.
