CAUAYAN CITY – Dalawa ang kondisyon ng pamahalaan kung nais ng Kuwaiti government na bawiin ang ipinatutupad na total deployment simula kahapon.
Sa panayam ng Bombo Radyo Cauayan, sinabi ni Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III na nagpulong kahapon ang governing body ng POEA at nagpalabas ng resolusyon na ipatupad agad ang total deployment ban.
Ayon kay Bello, ipagbabawal ng pamahalaan ang pagpapadala ng mga household service workers, skilled workers at professional.
Ang puwede lang pumunta sa Kuwait ay ang mga skilled workers at professional na magbabakasyon sa Pilipinas at pinayagan ng employer na bumalik.
Ayon kay Secretary Bello, maaalis ang total deployment ban kung mabigyan ng hustisya ang pagkamatay ni Jeanelyn Villavende at lumagda ang Kuwaiti government ng standard employment contract.
Ang hakbang ng pamahalaan ay kasunod ng lumabas na autopsy report ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) na ginahasa si Villavendo at nawawala ang ilang internal organs.
Ayon kay Bello, nagpunta siya mismo sa lugar nina Villavende sa Norala, South Cotabato at nakausap niya ang kanyang mga magulang.
Pinayuhan niya ang mga mamamayan na huwag maniwala sa mga recruiter na nagsasabing ipapadala sila sa Kuwait dahil kasinungalingan ito bunsod ng ipinatutupad na deployment ban.

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...
