POEA warns vs new permit-to-work coaching scam

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration over the weekend warned prospective overseas Filipino workers against a new permit-to-work coaching scam.

In a post on its Facebook account, the POEA said the email-based scam targets Filipinos seeking jobs as health care workers in Canada.

"Another 'permit to work coaching' scam! Please ignore if you received this e-mail," it said.

The POEA said the email claims to be from Saint Elizabeth Health Care, and informs recipients they were chosen for the position of a Registered Nurse.

It said the email instructed the recipients to attend the "Permit to work Coaching" on Jan. 11 and 12 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Citing the email, the POEA said the scam promises a deployment date anytime in May 2014.

However, the recipients are told to pay a coaching fee of P3,720.

The email, supposedly from one Lesley Sawden, human resources manager of Saint Elizabeth Health Care, claims the coaching is to be done in Makati City.  — LBG, GMA News

Gazan buried as only known victim of Iran’s strikes on Zionist entity --- Agencies

JERICHO, West Bank: A 38-year-old Gazan, the only known fatality in Iran’s missile attack against the Zionist entity, was buried on Wednesday. Sameh Khadr Hassan Al-Asali had been staying in a Palestinian security forces compound in the occupied West Bank when he was killed by falling missile debris during Tuesday’s attack, which the entity said was largely thwarted by its air defense systems. Security forces personnel carried the body draped in the red, green, white and black Palestinian flag. The crowd of about 200 mourners was made up of fellow Gazans staying in Jericho and local people. A large section of the rocket lay on the ground where it fell outside the compound. Around 700 workers from Gaza have been staying in Jericho, in the Jordan Valley, since the start of the war in Gaza almost a year ago. Unlike citizens of the Zionist entity, who went into bomb shelters after warning sirens sounded across the country, many Palestinians in the West Bank went out to watch the missiles ...

Hezbollah kills 8 Zionist troops; 65 martyred in Gaza ----Agencies

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT: The Zionist entity said on Wednesday eight of its soldiers were killed in combat in south Lebanon as its forces thrust into its northern neighbor in a campaign against Hezbollah. The losses were the deadliest suffered by the Zionist military on the Lebanon front in the past year of border-area clashes between the Zionist entity and its Iranian-backed Lebanese foe. Hezbollah said its fighters were engaging Zionist forces inside Lebanon on Wednesday, reporting ground clashes for the first time since Zionist forces pushed over the border. Hezbollah said it had destroyed three Zionist Merkava tanks with rockets near the border town of Maroun El Ras. The Zionist military said regular infantry and armored units were joining its ground operations in Lebanon, a day after Iran fired 200 missiles into the Zionist entity, a barrage which raised concerns that the oil-producing Middle East could be caught up in a wider conflict. Zionist military strikes across the Gaza Strip kil...
