Subic Bay Freeport – Around 5,000 jobseekers braved the long lines outside the Subic Gym here as Harbor Point, Ayala Malls’ newest retail development, opened its door with employment opportunities for residents of local communities. The two-day job fair, dubbed “Careers at Harbor Point,” offered almost 2,00 job openings ranging from managerial positions to service staff from 70 participating companies to address the mall merchants’ manpower needs. During the event’s opening program, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) senior deputy administration for support services Ramon Agregado expressed optimism that the jobs to be generated at Harbor Point would minimize unemployment in the region. Agregado also appealed to the merchants to be good employers. “If you treat your employees with utmost professionalism and care, I’m sure that they will give you your money’s worth,” he said.
