About 3,000 jobs in various sectors available in Czech Republic
Applicants may have a better chance to land a job if they have experience of about one year in food manufacturing, transportation, construction, logistics, hospitality and support services.
"The ideal quota to start with is a little over 10,000 positions per year. Czechs ver quickly reailzed how skilled the Filipinos are. They speak English so there is no communication barrier. They are very adaptable so they can easily learn new skills," said ambassador of the Czech Republic to the Philippines Karl Hejc.
The minimum salary, depending on the profession, may be 6,000 euros a month or about P100,000, which does not include bonuses.
Licensed recruitment agencies said it would take about six months before a successful job applicant can travel to the Czech Republic because of the processing of documents.
"We are continuously working on improving the process just to make it easier, more flexible and to shorten it as much as possible," said Hejc.
The process can be made easier as applicants can submit their documents electronically, said Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac.
"At least we've mentioned to the President, is to unify the OEC (Overseas Employment Certificate) and the e-travel," he added.
Cacdac said there are no placement fees needed in applying for work. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

DMW files plunder raps vs ex-OWWA chief Arnell Ignacio, 8 others over land deal
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Tuesday filed plunder and graft charges against former Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) administrator Arnell Ignacio and eight others over the controversial P1.4-billion land acquisition deal. Filed before the Office of the Ombudsman, the complaint also accused Ignacio, his two former deputies at OWWA, and six individuals who belong to the seller group of malversation of public funds. The DMW said the complaint stemmed from the purchase of a 1.5-hectare property near Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 in September 2024, on which a halfway house for returning overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) would be constructed. However, the DMW said that the property's close proximity to the airport runway made it unsuitable for development. The DMW added that OWWA's board of directors was not consulted and did not authorize the contract to sell, the deed of sale, and the supplemental agreement in connection with the purchase of the property. Vouchers and checks were also signed prior to the deed of sale, DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said. Ignacio, who was removed from his post, denied in May that the land sale was anomalous and that he profited from it. —VBL, GMA Integrated News

PH gaming industry grows 26% to P214.75B in H1 2025 — PAGCOR
The country's gaming industry saw a double-digit growth in terms of total revenues, reaching over P200 billion in the first half of 2025, thanks to continued popularity of online or digital betting among Filipinos. Data released by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) showed the sector's gross gaming revenues (GGR) stood at P214.75 billion from January to June 2025, up 26% from P171 billion year-on-year. This as the electronic gaming sector — composed of e-games, e-bingo, and bingo grantees – continued to outpace traditional or brick-and-mortar gaming with P114.83 billion in gross revenues or 53.47% of total GGR. Meanwhile, licensed casinos — comprised of integrated resorts and brick-and-mortar casinos in Metro Manila, Clark, Cebu, La Union and Rizal — accounted for 43.47% or P93.36 billion of the industry's GGR. PAGCOR-operated casinos, moreover, contributed the remaining 3.06% or P6.56 billion to the overall industry performance. 'PAGCOR recognizes the earning potential of the e-games sector, but as the country's gaming regulator, our foremost responsibility is to ensure that growth comes with accountability,' said PAGCOR chairman Alejandro Tengco. 'Our role goes beyond revenue generation; and as partners of the government in nation-building, we are committed to always strike a balance between enabling industry expansion and ensuring it aligns with responsible gaming standards,' added Tengco. The PAGCOR chief noted that the gaming industry regulator recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ad Standards Council (ASC) to strengthen the monitoring of gambling-related advertisements across all platforms. It also recently ordered the takedown of all gambling ads in public spaces and primetime TV by August 15 this year. 'These efforts are part of our broader mission to ensure that online gambling is not only well-regulated but also aligned with public interest,' said Tengco. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
