HEARING ON FIRST-TIME JOBSEEKERS ASSISTANCE BILL: The Senate Committee on Youth chaired by Senator Joel Villanueva tackled on Tuesday Senate Bill No. 1426 or the "First-Time Jobseekers Assistance Act" which seeks to exempt fresh graduates and dropouts from paying fees and charges collected by various government agencies for the issuance of documents needed for employment. Villanueva stressed that the waiver of fees and charges would be able to help our young people enter the country’s workforce without placing additional burden to their pursuit of finding gainful employment.
