Bello mulls recalling PHL labor attachés in Canada
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III on Saturday said he is considering recalling the labor attachés in Canada over the trash issue between the two countries.
"Kung hindi gaganda ang panahon sa pagitan ng ating bansa at Canada, baka ako rin ay magde-decide na ire-recall natin ang ating labor attaché, yung namamahala sa ating POLO [Philippine Overseas Labor Office] office doon sa Vancouver at saka Toronto. Pero pinag-aaralan nating mabuti," Bello said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.

Bello added that overseas Filipino workers going to Canada or are already in Canada will not be affected by the issue.
"Wala naman," he said.
There are over 800,000 Filipinos living and working in Canada.
On Thursday, Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said he has ordered the recall of several ranking Philippine officials in Canada after it missed the May 15 deadline to take back the tons of trash shipped to the Philippines a few years ago.
Malacañang said on Thursday the government's decision to recall its officials in Canada over the garbage row was a warning that Manila is ready to end its decades-old diplomatic ties with Ottawa.
Canada's foreign ministry said it was "disappointed" by the Philippines' decision to withdraw its top diplomats, but said it would continue to engage to resolve the issue.
Bello said the trash issue is more than just about garbage.
"May koneksiyon 'yan sa karangalan natin bilang isang bansa. Kung bakit itong Canada, basura lang eh, bakit 'di na lang bawiin? Kasi unang-una, mali ang pagkadala ng basura nila dito sa ating bansa. Hindi naman tayo basurahan. Hindi naman tama 'yan," he said.
"Ewan ko kung anong nangyari kung bakit pinayagan ng dating administrasyon kung sino mang administrasyon 'yon," Bello added. —KG, 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...
