so why is it sooo hard to get a job as a nurse in the Philippines? particularly in manila. why aren't hospitals hiring?

And we expect the US to require experience just like most other countries in the near future.

These are valid questions for the Labor Sec. They seem to be pre-occupied with money-making ventures such as bonds for OFW, etc... rather than doing their real job here.

Good thing the last DOLE Sec. has already moved on to other things.
