Labor and Employment Secretary Marianito D. Roque said STI would bring the Jobapalooza Mobile Caravan equipped with Internet-ready computers to various barangays in Metro Manila to help jobseekers register online with the Labor Day Jabapalooza where participating employers would look for workers who meet their requirements. The caravan will also be brought to Baguio City and Cagayan de Oro City.
Roque said the STI Jobapalooza Mobile Caravan would start the online registration of jobseekers during the April 13 launching at the Freedom Hall, City Hall of Manila. The online registration will be continued in the afternoon at San Andres Sports Complex, San Andres, Manila.
The rest of the Jobapalooza-STI Mobile Caravan schedule is as follows:

The DOLE Chief hailed STI for exercising its corporate social responsibility by providing free services that would help employers and workers find skills and jobs.
"STI is bringing to the grassroots services that facilitate matching of skills and jobs and thus, the employment and economic upliftment of needy workers," Roque said as he urged other firms and organizations to complement such efforts to help workers cope with the global economic crisis which is necessary in the country's survival and recovery from the crisis.
He said STI stewards would assist jobseekers in registering with Jabapalooza online. Afterwards, the jobseekers will be linked to fill up registration forms at Jobstreet.com. Jobseeker credentials will then be sent to participating employers who will in turn email those who are qualified for interview.
Roque also said that upon registration with the STI Mobile Caravan, jobseekers would get an emailed ticket to the Jabapalooza Job Fair and concert, which would be held at SM Mall of Asia on May 1.
He said the concert dubbed "Alay sa Manggagawang Pilipino," will culminate the May 1 Jabapalooza Job Fair with trade union bands and the country's top bands and artists paying tribute to all Filipino working men and women here and abroad.
The Jabapalooza Job Fair will also be held in other regions of the country on May 1. Jobseekers who could not register with the mobile caravan may register with Jobapalooza by logging on to http://phil-job.net.
Those who are qualified would receive final instructions on their application during the May 1 Jobapalooza Job Fair in their respective regions.
