BUTUAN CITY — New career opportunities are set to open for jobseekers in Butuan City as the 2026 Handog ng Pangulo Job Fair brings employers and government agencies together at Level 2 of Robinsons Butuan on September 14, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Spearheaded by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the job fair will provide applicants with the opportunity to meet prospective employers, explore available positions, and submit applications directly at the venue. The activity forms part of the nationwide Handog ng Pangulo initiative, which seeks to make employment opportunities and essential government services more accessible to communities.
A Convenient Gateway to Employment
Designed as a one-stop venue for jobseekers, the event brings together companies from various industries offering different employment opportunities. Participating employers are expected to conduct on-the-spot interviews and assessments, giving applicants the chance to interact directly with recruiters and potentially move forward in the hiring process. Jobseekers are encouraged to come prepared by bringing several copies of their updated resume or CV, along with other important credentials. Beyond submitting applications, attendees can also use the event to discover career options, learn more about industry demands, and gain a better understanding of opportunities available in the current labor market.
More Than a Job Fair
The event goes beyond employment matching by giving visitors access to various government services in one location. Participating agencies include the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Social Security System (SSS), PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG. These agencies will provide assistance and information covering services such as business name registration, skills training, membership registration, and other frontline government concerns. This makes the activity more than a venue for job applications, it also serves as a convenient opportunity for residents to access services that can support their professional and personal development. With employment opportunities and government assistance available under one roof, the 2026 Handog ng Pangulo Job Fair offers Butuan residents a practical avenue to take their next step toward better career prospects and greater economic opportunities.
