New Jollibee Party Theme: Batman

Batman is awesome.

He is the superhero who single-handedly defeated the nasty criminals of Gotham City. He is the protector of the people from the evil plans of Joker, Penguin, Two-Face and other weird evildoers. He is even more awesome than Superman, despite the fact that he doesn't have any super-powers.

And now, Jollibee brought this awesomeness to Jollibee parties. The fast food joint's new birthday theme is “Batman”.

.

The Batman birthday theme is an addition to the three themes of Jollibee party, which are: (1) My Bestfriend Jollibee, (2) Jollitown, and (3) Barbie.

The Batman party theme will definitely be a hit for young men who idolizes Batman. They will feel that they are celebrating their party with the awesome superhero. Too bad that the Jollibee mascot joining the party doesn't wear Batman's costume to complete the party theme.

This party theme features Batman inspired items like invitation cards, loot bags, message board, party hats and tray liners. Here are the images of the said party items:

So, if you have a son who enjoys watching Batman cartoons then I suggest that you choose the Batman Theme for his Jollibee party.

POEA Job Order

In the previous article I talked about the list of accredited recruitment agencies posted on the website of Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). This list is a great resource in helping Filipinos avoid being victims illegal recruiters or recruitment agencies.

That list is not the only resource that can be found on the POEA website. POEA also has a list for job orders from accredited recruitment agencies. The POEA job order list will surely be helpful in helping Filipino workers find the overseas job that they want.

What is good with the POEA job order list is that it was arranged in three ways. Job orders were arranged by position, by country and by recruitment agency.

Please go to POEA website to check available job vacancies as arranged by position. I tried to search for job orders for the position of cook. here are the results:

To check the job orders arranged by country, please go to POEA website. I tried searching for available vacancies from Australia. Here is the result given by the POEA Job Order list:

I also checked job vacancies as arranged by recruitment agency. Here is the result shown for ABBA Personnel Services in the POEA website:

You can see job orders by recruitment agencies by going to POEA website.

Please note that data on the POEA Job Order list was gathered the accredited agencies. The job orders are the active job orders for the past two years. It doesn't guarantee that a job vacancy is still available. Check with the recruitment agency if the job order is still available.

Visit the POEA website for more information about job orders and recruitment agencies.
