Based on the survey result of
Social Weather Station, there are approximately 8.4 million Filipinos who are unemployed. And that was about three months ago. Imagine how many individuals and families have meager or no income at all.
Unemployment is a huge problem the government must address. To be fair, the government is doing its best to provide citizens jobs through various agencies including the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), as well as livelihood assistance through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
If all of their efforts aren’t enough, or some of the programs are ineffective, then the government should find and try new ways that will lead to the reduction of unemployment in the country.
Why don’t the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) try to include
blogging in the school curriculum? Why don’t TESDA try to offer basic blogging as a three-month course? Such as basic blogging site building, attaching layouts, how to simple run and etc.
