President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo announced the job offerings for people wary of losing their jobs as a result of the global financial crisis during a multisectoral labor summit in Malacañang Monday.
Applicants are now being screened for the “Nurses Assigned in Rural Areas” (NARS), a new government program that will send at least five nurses to each of the 1,000 poorest towns in the country, Ms Arroyo said in her speech.
Under the NARS program, Ms Arroyo said the nurses would be paid at least P8,000 monthly for a year’s employment split into two six-month tours of duty. The salaries would cost the government around P500 million, she said.
The President urged local governments to contribute a counterpart fund to add at least P2,000 to the nurses’ salaries.
