Coop sending 50 trained Pinoys for construction job in Japan

BACOLOD - A Japanese cooperative, Multi-Contractor Cooperative (MCC), is now training 140 Negrenses and 10 others from Cagayan de Oro for six months for a sure construction job in Japan.

Multi-Contractor Cooperative is servicing 60 construction firms all over Japan and has already sent some 350 job trainees from Negros to Japan.

This Japanese cooperative represented by Kunimori Saito has set up an office here in Bacolod whose corporate name is Philippine-Japan Technical Skills Development Association, Inc. (PJTSDA).

Together with Saito are Japanese trainer Yoshitaka Kukuminato, Filipino trainer Henry Baltazar, and 14 other Japanese trainers for carpentry, masonry, and steel breaking.

"We have accepted 150 now but only 50 will qualify for Japan as trainees. We don't call them contract workers because there are none in Japan. While being trained, all the 150 earn allowances," he said.

"We have to raise our standards, however, because of the expectations of our client-members in Japan. While being trained in Bacolod, each trainee receives allowances," Saito further said.

The Bacolod-based PJTSDA partners with the Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (MBCCI) in looking for qualified trainees.

MBCCI Executive Director Jose Maria Zayco explained that PJTSDA was founded by former senator Vicente Paterno in partnership with MCC.

Zayco stressed that MCC, PJTSDA, and MBCCI are not recruiters but trainers.

"PJTSDA and MBCCI are partners in processing applicants' papers. Except for their medical examination, which is conducted by the Riverside Medical Center, everything else is free. Transport fare, visa processing, lodging in Japan, and training allowance while in Bacolod,"
Zayco said.

"All qualified trainees are given a three-year contract in Japan, P30,000 in monthly remuneration, and P100,000 completion bonus depending on the Yen-Peso exchange rate," Zayco added.

Sun.Star Bacolod was witness to the granting of the P100,000 completion bonus to 10 trainees who had successfully completed their contract in Japan.MBCCI president Roberto Montelibano was invited to hand the amount. He then gave an inspiration message.

All trainees, after completing their contract, were given certificates recognized by all Japanese construction companies all over the world.- Sun-Star Bacolod

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
