Dizon: DPWH campus job fair successfulPublic Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon oversees the campus job fair at the Mapua University in Intramuros, Manila yesterday. MANILA, Philippines — Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon yesterday welcomed the strong response to the agency’s first campus job fair at the Mapúa University, saying it exceeded expectations despite concerns over the flood corruption mess. Dizon said he was worried that the recruitment caravan might fail to attract applicants. “We were nervous that we might end up embarrassed and no one would apply, but here, at least at Mapúa, we exceeded our expected number of applicants,” he said during the job fair. Several Mapúa alumni and engineering board passers applied during the event, which marked the first in a series of campus job fairs for aspiring DPWH engineers.
