Alternatives to work migration promoting employment opportunities for youth in their home provinces

Shortly after graduating from the Los Arcos National High School in Agusan del Sur in 2009, Junrey Juanich made a decision to try his luck and apply for work in the big city. He chose Manila for this purpose because he has relatives in the city with whom he could stay while looking for work. After a few futile searches, he was able to find a job as a helper in a glass company and was employed there for the next seven months.
