THERE are not many available jobs for foreign workers in Macau because of an existing government regulation that locals must be given priority when filling vacancies.
Philippine Overseas Employment Administration chief Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz issued this reminder on Thursday after 15 Filipinos victimized by an illegal recruiter were repatriated from the special administrative region in China.
Baldoz said the victims arrived in Macau last January 15 only to find out there were no job vacancies waiting for them.
Baldoz said Filipinos who want to work in Macau should know that the Macanese government is implementing its localization program, which gives employment priority to local residents, particularly those qualified for basic-level jobs.
Foreign workers are allowed in Macau only to fill posts where there is a shortage in domestic labor such as supervisors in executive, finance, casino, gaming operations, hotels and restaurants, information technology and marketing departments, she added.
