Rosal

Legazpi City Mayor Noel rosal is optimistic that the opening of Embarcadero business center this March would help cushion the impact of world economic meltdown in the local setting.

In fact, Rosal announced that an initial number of at least 3,000 jobs will open, the bulk of which are for the call centers.

“The initial operation of Embarcadero is expected to provide 3,000 jobs. And once its operation is already in full swing, we expect an additional of 5,000 job opening,” Rosal told The Bicol SUN.

Embarcadero is one of the major projects of the city government in its effort of providing job opportunities to Legazpeños and its adjacent towns and cities.

The business hub will house domestic as well as tourist-oriented products and services, to include call centers, restaurants, hotels and water sports.

Legazpi provided the lot while businessman Zaldy Co and associates built the facilities for lease to to service providers.

Meanwhile, the Philippine National Police in Bicol had joined in the recent launching of the “Scubasurero 09”, a program which is aimed at cleaning the coastal waters at the Albay Gulf of garbages and other trashes in order to convert such sea beds into a potential tourist attraction through scuba diving.
