1.7 MILLION JOBS A YEAR FOR REAL – POE

PROVING that her goal of over a million jobs a year is not impossible, Sen. Grace Poe bared plans to develop the manufacturing and tourism sectors, along with the country’s micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), to create employment opportunities for Filipinos.

In a recent campaign sortie in Bicol, Poe said her administration, if she wins in the May 9 elections, will work to generate 1.7 million jobs every year for six years as a concrete step in fighting poverty, the root of criminality in the country.
