ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines โ Jacqueline C. Samama, Job Placement Officer of Brent Hospital and Colleges Inc., was among the recipients of the โBayanihan Award for Conducting a Job Fairโ given by the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) of the City Government of Zamboanga during the E-BESO Mo! forum on September 29, 2025, at the Crystal Ballroom, Grand Astoria Hotel.
The recognition was given to honor individuals who demonstrated remarkable leadership, dedication, and a collaborative spirit in organizing job fairs. According to PESO, these efforts exemplify the essence of bayanihanโworking selflessly for the common good by helping create meaningful employment opportunities.
Samama, now in her fourth year as Job Placement Officer, has organized annual job fairs that connected graduating students, fresh graduates, and other jobseekers with companies and institutions both within and outside Zamboanga City. Through these initiatives, she has helped bridge the gap between the academe and industry, ensuring better access to employment and professional growth for young professionals.
The award also underscored the impact of sustained partnerships between schools, employers, and government institutions in strengthening the local workforce. Four (4) other representatives from another institution was likewise honored with the same recognition during the event.
The E-BESO Mo! forum served as a platform to foster collaboration among stakeholders in workforce development, aligning with PESOโs goal of promoting inclusive and sustainable employment programs for Zamboangueรฑos.
