Thousands of careers in Poland open to Pinoys — PASEI


Thousands of job opportunities in Poland have opened up to Filipinos willing to work in manufacturing, fish and meat processing, information technology, and heavy-duty truck driving, according to the Philippine Association of Service Exporters, Inc. (PASEI).
On Lei Alviz' report for "24 Oras" on Thursday, PASEI president Elsa Villa said that many of the jobs do not even require experience, as employers will provide training.
"Hindi nga kailangan na kayo ay highly skilled. They need a lot of people, unskilled, that they will assign to manufacturing companies," she said. 
Workers will also get the chance to apply for residency and even bring their families with them after working there for a few years.
"Workers who have worked straight five years with one employer will be entitled to apply for residency. So 'pag sa residency, puwede mong madala ang pamilya mo doon," Villa said.
"Of course, ikaw ang magbabayad sa expenses ng pagdala ng pamilya mo doon, but especially for young families, I really really recommend this because libre doon ang education. Libre rin ang hospitalization," she added.
Villa also said that other countries in Central Europe, such as Croatia and the Czech Republic, as well as Eastern Europe, are "opening their doors for skilled and unskilled people."
Nevertheless, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) strongly advised all job-seekers to be wary of bogus recruiters and refer only to official job orders on their website for when planning to work abroad.
"Huwag po kayong makikipag-usap ng over the phone, makikipag-transact over the phone. Pinakamainam po [ay] pumunta kayo sa main or press office ng agency," POEA adminstrator Bernard Olalia said.
"If you plan to be deployed by our government through government placement, dito lang po kayo sa POEA makipag-usap," he added. — Margaret Claire Layug/BM, GMA News

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...
