Four overseas Filipino workers were conferred model employees by an industry association in Taiwan, the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) announced Sunday.
In a report to Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre Bello III, the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Taipei said Leonor B. Lubo, Kevin Jay C. Fillon, Raquel F. Dacusin, and Arniel S. Felizarta were chosen for their outstanding industriousness and commendable performance in their work.
POLO Taipei said punctuality, obedience, and communications skills were also considered in selecting outstanding workers.
Taiwanese and workers from other countries were also presented with similar distinction.
Yai-Ming Zhang, Chairman of the Executive Director Board of the Taiwan Silk and Filament Weaving Industrial Association (TSFA), congratulated and awarded the citation to the awardees.
POLO-Taipei Labor Attaché Cesar Chavez Jr. handed a cash award to each Filipino awardee.
Bello said the Philippines takes pride in the recognition bestowed on the OFWs by the Taiwanese Textile and Weaving Industry.
“We share the honor for their achievements. Their fete makes the Filipino nation even more proud,” Bello said in a statement.
The TSFA, a non-government organization, conducts the recognition annually to motivate workers to study for the enhancement of their skills and inspire them to improve the efficiency and quality of work.
