Pinoy workers ban in Taiwan over?
November 23, 2000 | 12:00am
The new de facto Taiwanese Ambassador to the Philippines Benjamin Jyh-Yuan Lo said yesterday that he would press for the lifting of the ban on the hiring of Filipino workers in Taiwan.
The head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) said that there is a big demand for Filipino workers in Taiwan, adding that many major factories in industrial cities prefer Filipinos for their competence and industriousness.
The unofficial ambassador also said that Taiwanese employers have signified their intention to hire more foreign workers, especially Filipinos starting early next year.
"As for the freezing of the hiring of Filipino workers in my home country, I will try my best to have it lifted," Jyh-Yuan said. "Dont worry, labor will move to Taipei as smoothly as before."
The 60-year-old chief of TECO arrived yesterday at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on board Eva Air from Taipei. He replaced Ambassador H. C. Chan.
Jyh-Yuan was welcomed by James Dy, president of the Filipino-Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Dante Go, president of the Filipino-Chinese Businessmen Club, director Jose Tanso of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) and local Chinese entrepreneurs.
