MANILA – The Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Singapore said the host country is in need of more than 200 vaccinators.
Labor Attaché Saul de Vries said they have approved a job order for a total of 230 vaccinators.
“Salary ranges from 1,800 to 2,500 Singapore dollars or a minimum of PHP63,000,” he said in a virtual forum on Friday.
But Filipinos wanting to apply for the job will have to wait some more as the government restricted the entry of foreign workers, particularly from coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) high-risk nations.
He said the new policy was implemented due to the reemergence of Covid-cases in communities.
Only travelers from Australia, Brunei, Mainland China, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau can enter the island-nation as of the latest directive.
“Because of the reemergence of community cases, the Singaporean government has restricted the entry of foreign workers from high risk countries,” De Vries added.
He is optimistic that the host country will be issuing a new policy next month as the government closely monitors the local and global situation. (PNA)
