FilipinosAnticipating a worldwide construction boom, an overseas employment organization is batting for the establishment of more technical skills training centers so that Filipinos can fill the demand for blue-collar workers.

"We don’t need white-collar jobs. We need to go back to skills training. Mas matagal na kakailanganin ang skilled worker," Victor Fernandez, president of the Philippine Association of Service Exporters, Inc. (PASEI) told abs-cbnNEWS.com.

The big demand for blue-collar workers will initially be generated by Guam as more US personnel transfer from US bases in Okinawa to the unincorporated US territory.

Former Army general Danilo Lim led a march for withdrawal of support call against President Arroyo on Thursday with Senator Antonio Trillanes and former Vice President Teofisto Guingona.

Issues:

  • Involvement in alleged coup. In February 2006, Brigadier General Danilo Lim was relieved from his post as commander of the elite First Scout Rangers Regiment for allegedly plotting a coup d'etat against the Arroyo administration. A Time magazine report said Pastor Saycon, a civil society leader, called Lim on the night of February 23, 2006 while they were planning for a new administration to replace the Arroyo regime. Lim was reported to have described as "all systems go" the anti-Arroyo plan. The next day, February 24, Arroyo declared the State of National Emergency. Lim was arrested--restricted to quarters, according to the military--and relieved from his post.
