Today, April 3, is the deadline for application for the Special Program for the Employment of Students of Bacolod City, a press release from the mayor's office said.

Requirements should be submitted to the Public Employment Services Office. SPES is under the supervision of the Department of Labor and Employment.

PESO records show there are 492 applicants under the SPES, but only 300 have so far completed their requirements.

Applicants who can not submit the complete requirements by April 3 will be replaced, PESO head Moises de la Cruz said in the press release.

PESO also sent additional application forms to the barangays.

De la Cruz said students will render 20 working days during the summer, but those who are graduating will be allowed to work for 30 days.

Students can use their salaries to pay some of their school fees, the press release added.*
