An article in the official website of DOLE reads:

 

"The DOLE Chief hailed STI for exercising its corporate social responsibility by providing free services that would help employers and workers find skills and jobs.
"STI is bringing to the grassroots services that facilitate matching of skills and jobs and thus, the employment and economic upliftment of needy workers," Roque said as he urged other firms and organizations to complement such efforts to help workers cope with the global economic crisis which is necessary in the country's survival and recovery from the crisis."
