Registration of applicants for Korean language test set


 The Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRD-Korea), in
coordination with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA),
is conducting from 21 to 25 April 2014 the registration for the 10th

Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) for Filipino job seekers who want to work in
Korea under the Employment Permit System (EPS).

POEA Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said applicants for TOPIK registration
must be between 18 and 38 years of age or those born between April 21, 1976
and April 21, 1996. They must not have any record of deportation or departure
orders from the Republic of Korea and must not be restricted from leaving the
Philippines.

Cacdac said applicants must personally register for the test and must have a
valid passport on the day of registration. HRD Korea is implementing a “no
valid passport, no registration” policy.

In the guidelines issued by HRD Korea, only applicants with valid passport will
be allowed to register for the test to avoid discrepancy in their personal
information later on.

They should also bring to the registration venue photocopy of their respective
passport, 2 pieces passport size pictures taken within the last three months,
and PhP1,066 for testing fee.

Cacdac reminded applicants that inclusion in the EPS roster after passing the
TOPIK and the medical examination requirement is not a guarantee for
employment in South Korea.
He clarified that as agreed upon by HRD-Korea and POEA, only male applicants
who responded to the online survey can register for the next TOPIK.
“A big number of female applicants in the EPS Roster remains to be without
employer and yet the demand for them by Korean employers is still very low,
hence the temporary exclusion of female applicants from taking the language
test,“ Cacdac said.

Biden said set to make push for demilitarized Palestinian state as part of new doctrine ---By LAZAR BERMAN

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
