Summer Jobs for Students 2012 (Philippines)

The summer break for students in the Philippines is fast approaching. For some it is time for some barkada trips to several tourist destinations across the country or abroad but for others it is a chance to earn some money to provide their families or sustain their education through summer jobs.

The Department of Education (DepEd) is giving a chance to these less privileged students to work and earn during the summer vacation via its SPES Program or Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES).
