DOLE warns jobseekers of non-existent jobs in Italy

ABS-CBNnews.com
MANILA, Philippines – Illegal recruiters are enticing Filipinos particularly those based in Bataan, Baguio and Isabela of non-existent jobs in Italy, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) warned.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said they were informed about the rampant recruitment activity in the areas by representatives of Global Management System, a company allegedly based in France.
“We warn Filipinos in these areas to be wary of people approaching them for non-existent jobs in Italy. Report them at once to the POEA, or to the police,” said Baldoz.
Baldoz said Labor Attache Viveca Catalig in Rome reported that recruiters offer victims jobs as farm workers, guest relations officers, housekeeping workers, and information assistant for one Raffaldini Farms/Vineyards Hotel Resort in Italy. The recruiters are reportedly using a job order supposedly issued by Global Management System to a MYUPANGCO Consultancy based in Rome.
“We have been informed by concerned Filipino community leaders in Rome that unsuspecting job applicants were being asked to pay the amount of P55,000 as processing fee for these jobs,” Catalig said.
Catalig explained that application for work to Italy is still through the direct hiring system involving the issuance of a decreto flussi by the Italian Ministry of Labor, the government authority providing a quota for foreign workers. She further said that in Italy, most of the required workers are seasonal workers and are in the services sector.
“The system requires the employer to directly file an online application for approval to hire a foreign worker through the telematics system and once the application is approved, a nulla osta shall be issued and submitted to the POLO (Philippine Overseas Labor Office) for verification,” she added.

UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
