This service, sponsored by Provincial Government of Bohol under Gov. Erico Aumentado in coordination with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Regional Consular Office 7 has also been held here in Bohol in the past . Identified as part of the poverty alleviation efforts at giving Boholanos chances for work abroad, it also has allowed the government to be closer to the people. This also works perfectly in preparation for the upcoming overseas jobs fair on July 20-21, 2006 at the Bohol Quality Atrium, this city.
