On June 18, 2026, employers, government agencies, and workforce development partners gathered at the historic Sison Auditorium for the prestigious Pangasinan Employers Recognition Awards (PERA) 2026, organized by the Provincial Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Pangasinan. The event served as a meaningful platform to recognize employers and organizations that have significantly contributed to employment generation, workforce development, and economic growth across the province.


The Employers Recognition Awards highlighted the vital role of employers as partners in creating opportunities for Pangasinenses. Through their commitment to fair employment practices, active participation in job fairs, and support for government employment programs, these organizations have helped bridge the gap between job seekers and meaningful careers. The awards celebrated not only business success but also the shared responsibility of building a stronger and more inclusive workforce.


One of the highlights of the ceremony was the recognition of various employment facilitation partners and outstanding employers who consistently supported PESO initiatives throughout the year. Their efforts have strengthened the province's employment programs, contributing to higher job placement rates and improved access to career opportunities for thousands of Pangasinenses.


The event also underscored the continuing collaboration between government agencies, local employers, educational institutions, and labor organizations. This partnership reflects the province's commitment to fostering sustainable employment and ensuring that job seekers are equipped with the skills and opportunities needed in today's evolving labor market. Such initiatives align with the ongoing efforts of Pangasinan to maintain high employment rates and expand economic opportunities across its municipalities and cities.


Held at the iconic Sison Auditorium—one of Pangasinan's most treasured cultural landmarks—the ceremony provided a fitting venue for honoring organizations that exemplify excellence in employment and public service. The auditorium has long served as a center for significant provincial events, making it an appropriate setting for recognizing the contributions of the business community to Pangasinan's progress.

As the 2026 Pangasinan Employers Recognition Awards concluded, the event left a strong message: when employers, government agencies, and communities work together, they create more opportunities, stronger industries, and a brighter future for every Pangasinense. The success of PERA 2026 stands as a testament to the province's dedication to employment excellence and inclusive economic development.

Congratulations to all awardees, partners, and stakeholders who continue to make a positive impact on the lives of workers and job seekers throughout Pangasinan. Your commitment and dedication help shape a more prosperous future for the province and its people.
