Two Filipina nurses qualify in Germany under Triple Win Migration Project



Two Filipinos, Krystel Anne B. Sumido and Eowyn C. Galvez, have achieved
the record of being the first Filipino nurses who have passed as Qualified
Nurses (Gesundheits-und Krankenpflegerin) under the Triple Win Project of the
Philippines and Germany, bringing the number of nurses employed under the
program to 27.

Labor and Employment Secretary announced this yesterday after the Philippine
Overseas Employment Administration, the secretariat of the Triple Win Project,
reported that the two passed their recognition examination in Frankfurt,
Germany.
"This is a happy development," Baldoz said.
"The three nurses who took the TELC test have already passed, or a 100 percent
success rate," Cacdac said.
There are now 225 nurses under the program, 70 of whom are in language class
A1 and A2; 102 nurses due for language classes; four (4) nurses with B1 (or
language skills) waiting for employers; and eight (8) nurses with B1 waiting to
be deployed. There are 16 nurses who backed out, reducing the number of
nurses in active status to 209.

Starting last December 2013, a total of 25 Filipino nurses have been hired under
the government-to-government migration program to work in three hospitals in
Frankfurt and Tuebingen, Germany.
The Triple Win Project started in March 2013 after Germany's Federal
Employment Agency (BA) and the Philippines's Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) signed a bilateral agreement on the project.
Baldoz said the Triple Win Project has apparently found the formula for its
success through an arrangement which involves the state parties, wherein the
BA’s International Placement Services (ZAV) recruits hospital employers
willing to support Filipino candidates, while the German Agency for
International Cooperation (GIZ) is responsible for preparing the nurses to be
deployed and providing integration services and monitoring of candidates
onsite
On the other hand, the DOLE, through the POEA, recruits and deploys qualified
nurses whose immediate goal is to fulfil their requirements for recognition and
German language proficiency level required by the respective federal state
policies.
The Federal Republic of Germany consists of 16 states with different
requirements on recognition and the German language test.
Cacdac informed Secretary Baldoz that a Joint Working Committee for the
project will convene this year to discuss new developments and cooperation to
boost the migration program.

"The challenge at hand is getting other qualified employers who can sustain the
benchmark that has been established by the hospitals which started participating
in Triple Win. BA/ZAV and GIZ are looking for more employers who are
similarly willing to invest on foreign nurses and pay for the costs involved in
order to facilitate the nurses’ study of the German language in order to be
deployed," he 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
