Angeles, Mabalacat main manpower source for Clark

By Ian Ocampo Flora - SunStar

CLARK FREEPORT -- Owing to their close proximity with the former US base, Angeles and Mabalacat are still the leading source of manpower from the 75 percent domicile records from Freeport registered locators.

From the total registered 50,855 employed manpower manning the different sectors ranging from industry and telecommunications within the Freeport, 75 percent come from the Pampanga area. From this number 22.05 percent of which hail from Angeles and 21.98 percent come from nearby town of Mabalacat. The western part of Porac have contributed a staggering 3.33 percent while the remaining 27.64 percent is shared by the City of San Fernando and the towns of Mexico, Magalang, Arayat and Sta. Rita.

According to Peso Mabalacat administrative aide Alma C. Pontillas, the local Municipal Government had been dynamically refereeing names into the different employers within the Freeport. However, the main hindrance that they see in the increase of employees is the early age limit bracket that sectors in the production business are implementing.

“The Peso office has been doing a round of Job Fairs here and we have been constantly referring names into the Freeport employers. The problem that we see now is the age limit for manpower in the production side. Some employers no longer accept applicants beyond the age of 26,” Pontillas said.

Despite this, the Peso office in Mabalacat is confident that more and more people from Mabalacat would benefit in the steady growth of employment in the Freeport and other opportunities that the Clark-Subic road would bring when it is fully operational.

On the other hand, manpower in the Freeport is still dominated by females according to reports. The Freeport had also recorded as of June 30 this year a total of 47.43 percent (or 24,120 employees) who are males while the females have netted 52.57 percent (or 26,735 employees) of the total workers.
