DICT job fair in Naga brought together 1,222 digital vacancies

What happened in Naga

The Philippine News Agency reported 1,222 digital-related vacancies from 23 local employers at DICT's first Trabahong Digital Job Fair in Naga City. Listed fields included software development, cybersecurity, digital marketing, multimedia design, customer service, accounting, marketing and sales.

The Naga event ran on 13–14 August 2026 and has ended. A later Philippine Information Agency report described roughly 1,200 vacancies, 22 local employers and five startups; those differences reflect how the event was counted and reported.

Why it matters beyond one fair

The mix of roles shows that digital employment is not limited to programmers. Businesses also need people who can communicate with customers, create media, manage campaigns, support operations and use digital tools responsibly.

DICT presented the fair as part of a wider effort to connect training with work outside Metro Manila. That direction is useful, but readers should not treat the 1,222 vacancies as current openings.

How to follow real opportunities

• Check current notices from DICT Region V, your local Public Employment Service Office and the named employer itself.
• Match one target role with a specific skill, portfolio sample and job requirement instead of collecting generic certificates.
• Verify the company, recruiter and application domain before sharing a resume or identification document.
• Treat any payment request for a job application, interview or guaranteed placement as a warning sign.
