Israel eyes 1,000 PH hotel workers

Israel will hire more than a thousand Filipino workers to fill vacancies in its growing hotel industry, the Department of Labor and Employment said.

Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said at least 1,000 job opportunities in the hotel industry will soon be available for Filipinos following the signing of a memorandum of agreement between the Philippines and Israel.

Bello signed the labor agreement with Israeli Tourism Minister Yariv Levin to formalize the government-to-government partnership for the deployment of Filipino hotel workers.
