Licensure exams for Pinoy teachers in Hong Kong set in March 2013


Philippine officials in Hong Kong will conduct a Special Professional Board Examination for teachers there on March 10 next year.
The Philippine Overseas Labor Office under the Philippine Consulate General said the Philippine Regulatory Commission (PRC) will conduct the examination.
"Since this is a rare opportunity for teachers to take the licensure examination in Hong Kong without the need of spending more money to take the examination in the Philippines, Labor Attaché (Manuel) Roldan encourages all qualified teachers working in Hong Kong to apply and take the examination," the Consulate General said on its website (http://www.philcongen-hk.com/media/2012/news111512.htm).
PRC Chairperson Teresita Manzala disclosed the commission's decision to hold the exams to Roldan last Oct. 22.
Manzala said the Board of Professional Teachers and the PRC Licensure Examination Office favorably considered the request of NOPTI-Hong Kong for the Licensure Examination of Teachers (LET) in Hong Kong.
NOPTI Officers and volunteers started to accept and pre-screen the applications for Board Examination since November 4 at the Philippine Consulate General.
They will continue to accept applications every Sunday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Applications can also be submitted to the office of the Labor Attaché at the Philippine Consulate during office hours from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The deadline for the submission of applications will be on January 11, 2013.

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 ...

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...
