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.

UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he

How war is putting Middle East aviation at risk ---AL JAZEERA

The human suffering in Gaza is accompanied by losses that are undermining this vital industry With more than 40 years' experience in aviation, including a stint as chief executive Bahrain's Gulf Air and sitting on the International Air Transport Association's Board of Governors, Royal Jordanian’s CEO Samer Majali is someone who knows the industry in the Middle East – and its challenges – like few others. In an exclusive interview with The National yesterday, he spoke for many executives when he described how six months of violence in Israel and Palestine had hurt his airline and the region’s economy. While the human cost is, of course, the biggest, and Palestinian society is bearing the brunt of this war, its consequences are far reaching. The plummeting bookings, operational difficulties and financial losses being experienced by the aviation sector are being exacerbated by a widespread perception that the Middle East is in turmoil. “They lump the region as a homogeneous
