The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) has filled at least 600 plantilla positions, or about 42% of its 1,404 open positions, at the start of 2020.

The newly hired personnel has increased PPA’s total number of employees to 2,347 and significantly reduced the number of outsourced staff, the state-owned agency said in a statement.

PPA has a total of 3,151 plantilla positions and is targeting to fill all vacant positions in the next two years.

“We are really accelerating the hiring of new personnel particularly in the Port Management Offices (PMOs) as they are really undermanned,” PPA general manager Atty. Jay Daniel Santiago said.

“With the additional 600 newly hired personnel, we were able to double the existing workforce of PMOs to be deployed in some unmanned ports,” Santiago added.

He said PPA hopes to complete filling all vacant positions in the next two years and “help reduce the unemployment rate in the country.”

PPA said it is also allowing all its outsourced personnel “to compete with other qualified applicants in all its entry-level and technical positions.” It added that its Human Resource Management Department is assisting all outsourced personnel to attain the necessary civil service eligibility.

The agency said the hiring of plantilla personnel is in line with the joint memorandum order of the Civil Service Commission, Commission on Audit and the Department of Budget and Management requiring all government agencies to restrict the hiring of outsourced personnel in the next two years.
