Saudi Reopens Hiring of Pinoy Household Workers

2012-02-01T16:40:00.001-08:00

Saudi Arabia

will again issue work visas to Filipino household service workers and increased the minimum salary to USD400 or SR1,500.

This is because of a new memorandum of agreement signed by the governments of Saudi and the

Philippines

Under the new agreement, Filipino household workers should receive the following benefits:

One rest day a week,
Yearly vacation for at least 30 days,
Free ticket to home country,
Housing and food or allowance for both.

Saudi employers are also obliged to treat their household workers nicely and to avoid making them work for another household. The employers must also shoulder the fees of the household's workers that are related to visa and Saudi employers should deposit the salary of the household worker to the bank account they will open for them.

Join the Messiest Cubicle Contest by Contest Factory

2012-01-11T23:00:00.001-08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

A clean and organized office cubicle has a great potential to make anyone drop the lazy mode and move to get some important work done. On the other hand, a messy and hideous cubicle (filled with scratch and clean papers, pens, stains from countless coffee breaks, crumbs from snacks, a bulletin board full of reminders and other office supplies like scissors, staplers, punchers scattered everywhere) is a sure sign that a great work is being or has been done. If a messy cubicle is a sign of a finished work, or an accomplished target, then it is probably the reason why it is the theme for Contest Factory’s- Pimp My Cube Contest.

Yes Contest Factory wants to see the worst office cubicles in a video. This contest aims to break the typical boring work spaces and want video entries to feature the worst cubicle catastrophes. But it doesn’t mean that a spotless cubicle is better than the dirty and unorganized one. Contest Factory will declare the worst video of an office cubicle the winner and they will come in to Pimp their cube.

The winner will get to improve his cube by choosing one of the three prize packages:

· New high end computer system

· New Desk, Chair and Decorations

· New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

The value of the package is more or less USD1200. The contest is open to bloggers who are: business-oriented, marketing-focused, tech-related, finance-specific and male-centric.

To increase chances of wining, participants in the video contests should invite their friends, family members and colleagues to vote for them. There is no entry yet, so there is a big chance to win.

The contest period will run until 12pm of January 31, 2012.

To know more about this contest and to join, visit the the PMC site now, register and submit a video entry!

New MOU May Reopen Saudi to Filipino Household Service Workers

2012-01-11T22:06:00.001-08:00

According to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Undersecretary, Danilo Cruz Saudi Arabia may hire Filipino household service workers (HSWs) again. This would be possible after the signing of the new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between

Saudi Arabia

and the

Philippines

Cruz said, "We will immediately sign an MOU and agree on a model employment contract that will be implemented in Saudi Arabia."

Saudi Arabia

suspended the processing, verification and authentication of deployment contracts of Filipino HSWs when the Philippine government set a USD400/month minimum salary for HSWs.

The Undersecretary said, "From all indications, Saudi Arabia will allow now the verification of the employment contract of household workers which will automatically lift the restriction na inimpose nila and we can soon deploy HSWs there."

Rosalida Baldoz, DOLE chief said that OFWs will gain more protection in the new contract.

The DOLE chief said, "We saw to it that the provisions or the rights and principles in the convention are also reflected on the standard employment contract."

DFA: Alert Level 3 and Deployment Ban of OFWs to Sudan

2012-01-10T23:17:00.001-08:00

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) raised the crisis alert level in Sudan to 3 because of the worsening security situation there. Alert level 3 calls for an OFW deployment ban and voluntary repatriation. According to the DFA, they would assist and give repatriation funds to OFWs in Sudan who want to go home.

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said, "For prudence's sake, we have raised crisis alert level 3 in South Sudan in light of escalating violence in the capital where most of our nationals are located. We are ready to move our people out, should they wish to leave."

According to the statement, "The DFA has instructed the Philippine Embassy in Cairo, which has jurisdiction over South Sudan, to implement the voluntary repatriation program."

DOLE Reminder: Do not Go to Syria

2012-01-04T18:21:00.003-08:00

The secretary of Labor, Rosalinda Baldoz reported that illegal overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) continue to arrive in

Syria

even if there is an existing deployment ban and mandatory repatriation.

The DFA raised the crisis alert level to

Syria

from 3 to 4 which calls for mandatory repatriation. The Labor Secretary discourages OFWs from going to

Syria

despite the ban.

Recruitment of workers for Syria is illegal today because they can only hold a tourist visa. Baldoz informed that the salary of household workers in Syria is only USD125 and it is not worth the dangers they are risking by going to

Syria

The secretary encourages OFWs to stay/return to the

Philippines

as the government has livelihood and entrepreneurship programs that can help them start small businesses.

Taiwan’s Online Hiring System Gets POEA’s Support

2012-01-04T18:21:00.001-08:00

Taiwan

is expected to implement the International Direct e-Recruitment System (IDeS), a new hiring policy for foreign workers developed by the Council of Labor Affairs of Taiwan this January. And the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) said that they are supporting the planned implementation.

The online recruitment system for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who wants to work in Taiwan is in final review of the POEA Governing Board. Former POEA Chief, Carlos Cao Jr. said that the new system would make deployment of OFWs to

Taiwan

easier as the services of brokers would no longer be necessary.

Cao said, "The system will be a great relief for the workers since they will no longer pay brokers fee and monthly services over a period of three (3) years, thus, will redound to significant reduction of recruitment costs to them, including the employers."

Though the IDeS would still require the workers to shoulder documentation and visa fees, they no longer need to worry about broker's fees.

Under the new hiring system (IDeS), there will be an online portal where valid employers can access the resumes of applicants. The system is designed to match foreign workers to a job position that fits their qualifications and work experiences. It is reported that Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia will also implement the IDeS soon.

POEA: Australia Needs More Nurses and Other Skilled Workers

2012-01-03T23:46:00.001-08:00

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) is hoping that more overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) would be deployed in Australia this 2012, saying that the land down under is one of the least explored frontiers of Filipino professionals and other skilled workers.

Former POEA chief, Carlos Cao, Jr. advised OFWs especially Filipino nurses, construction and mining workers. to seek for employment opportunities in Australia because of the shortage of workers there.

Filipino nurses and construction-related workers are in demand in

Australia. In fact data from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) indicates that

Australia

would need 40,000 nurses until 2015.

The

construction industry of Australia is also booming with expected 750,000 construction projects for the next 20 years.

POEA chief, Cao said, "This is now the opportune time to provide viable solutions to the growing number of jobless and under-employed Filipino nurses now already numbering close to 300,000 including the 68,000 who just recently passed the latest nursing board examinations."

"With its mining and construction boom that run short of skilled workers and its healthcare system now with an acute need for registered nurses and other allied professionals, there are tremendous opportunities to widen the gateway for jobs forFilipinos in

Australia

across all industries and across all states and territories," he added.

POEA Has New Chief

2012-01-02T19:18:00.001-08:00

The new chief of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) is Hans Cacdac, replacing former POEA chief, Carlos Cao, Jr. The official turnover was held in a simple ceremony yesterday that was attended by POEA directors and several senior Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) officials. The chief of DOLE Baldoz and Carlos Cao did not attend the said event.

The new POEA chief promised to work with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to create new bilateral agreements that would create job opportunities and protect the welfare of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

Cacdac said, "It is about time we increase the number of our bilateral agreements with other countries to protect the welfare of our OFWs."

He also promised to hasten the processing period of overseas employment certificates (OEC) and to strengthen fight against human trafficking.

The recruitment agencies welcome the appointment of Cacdac and vowed to willingness to work together with POEA so they can deploy more OFWs.

However, some OFW groups expressed sadness over the replacement of Carlos Cao, Jr. as POEA chief. The chair of Migrante International, Garry Martinez, said that Cao is by far the most sincere, open-minded and most accessible POEA chief. Martinez suspects that the reason for the ouster may be politics noting that under Cao's leadership, permits of 300 recruitment agencies were cancelled.

Cao said that he did not receive any official letter from Malacañang and the DOLE to inform him of his removal from the post. Cao said that he has no resentment but only wish to be officially informed so he can step down with dignity. Labor officials though insist they had officially informed Cao that he will only be serving until the end of December.
