PHL thanks world for Yolanda recovery efforts with 1-min video

PHL thanks world for Yolanda recovery efforts with 1-min video



With a one-minute video, the Philippines thanked the world for the help it extended for Typhoon Yolanda relief.

The Department of Tourism, spread word of the “thank you” video through its networking accounts Saturday.

'Big thank you'
"The Philippines wants to say a big thank you to every one who has been helping us rebuild after Typhoon Haiyan... (The world) has been one with the Philippines in helping rebuild the nation - from sending relief goods, doing medical missions, all the way to pledging funds for the reconstruction of infrastructure," read a message accompanying the video posted on the ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines.com website.

February 8 marks three months after the typhoon devastated the Visayas and Southern Luzon, and left more than 6,200 dead.

"We are Filipinos. We are resilient, grateful, and fun-loving people. And that's why even as we are still recovering, we already want to show our thanks," the message read further.

Filipinos were also urged to use the templates, posted online, and write a "thank you" note to the world for the volunteers, donations, pledges, and everything in between, then post the image on the DOT Facebook page or tag @DOTphilippines on Twitter.

Unified Registration form for Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth and SSS

 
 
 
by Samuel Medenilla (MANILA BULLETIN)
December 5, 2013
 
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has launched its unified registration system (URS) for “kasambahays.”
DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said in a statement that with the URS operational, they expect higher compliance with the Kasambahay Law.
She said this will ensure the country’s estimated 2.9 million household service workers (HSWs) will have the necessary social protection mandated by law.
“This will facilitate and streamline registration and facilitation processes through further refinement of the Kasambahay URS which would ultimately lead to household employers and domestic workers availing of our services and other programs wherever they are and at their own free time,” Baldoz said.
Under the URS, which was launched Tuesday, employers would only have to accomplish one form to register their HSWs at the Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth.
“The three agencies will share the data and issue their respective membership identification numbers to the registrants. The registration is the proverbial three-in-one,” Baldoz said.
Baldoz said employers and HSWs could obtain the form in any offices or websites of the three said agencies.
The three-paged form includes the Household Employer Unified Registration Form, Kasambahay Unified Registration Form, and the Household Employment Unified Report Form.

EPS RE-EMPLOYMENT PROCEDURE AFTER SOJOURN

TO all EPS who wants to work again in S.Korea after 6 yrs of his/ her sojourn period can re-apply by taking the employment procedure from the begining.

source: sulyapinoy.org
Question:

After reemployment sojourn (6-yrs or 4yrs & 10mos), pwede pa ba makakabalik ng Korea? by dave on Fri Jun 04, 2010 2:44 pm
Mga Kabayan,

First of all, I am sorry for making you confused about this topic considering my previous posts.

Actually the NLCC National Labor Consultation Center) through its website has posted new announcement just today stating that "IT IS STILL ALLOWED TO APPLY BACK TO KOREA UNDER SAME E-9 VISA (EPS) EVEN AFTER THE 2ND SOJOURN IS EXPIRED OR AFTER REEMPLOYMENT".

This would imply that their previous statement saying "ONLY ONE TIME REEMPLOYMENT IS ALLOWED" was wrong.

More so, the NLCC has sent new answer to my previous question confirming that their previous answer about "one time reemployment" is wrong.

Please refer below their series of answers to my questions...

Question: How long can an EPS worker may apply back to Korea under EPS?

Dear NLCC,

I am asking for my friend working under EPS. He is from Philippines. He is working in korea under E9 visa for almost 5 years. After finishing my visa how long can he apply back to korea under same visa?

Your prompt reply is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

By Dave2010-04-23

Answer:

Dear Dave,

This is the National Labor Consultation Center.

Please find our reply to your question as follows:

Under the EPS, only one time reemployment is allowed. So, if you has worked for total 6 years, you shall not be allowed to work any more under the EPS.

For more information, please call us at 031-345-5000.

Thank you for using our service.

Best regards,

NLCC

Question: Reenter korea under EPS

Dear Sir,

I have received one of your answers here about reentering korea under EPS.

You said that under the current EPS if a foreign worker completes the second sojourn period, he/she can not reenter Korea under same visa (E-9 visa).

But how about this statement on Foreign Workers Employment Act under Article 18?

It is said as below:

Article 18 (Restrictions on Employment)

(2) A foreigner who has left after having been employed in Korea shall not be reemployed pursuant to Article 8, if six months have not passed since the date of his/her departure

Does it mean it is not aplicable anymore? Your prompt reply is higly appreciated.

By Dave 2010-05-06

Answer:

Dear Dave,

This is the National Labor Consultation Center.

Please find our reply to your question as follows:

Sometime there are some foreign workers who give up working in Korea and come back to their home country during the first sojourn period or who are not reemployed after completion of the first sojourn period. That provision shall be applied to those foreign workers.

We want to say again "Under the current EPS, reemployment chance is only one time."

For more information, please call us at 031-345-5000.

Thank you for using our service.

NLCC


Dear Dave,

We are very sorry for our previous answer about reemployment policy. Our apology for not giving you the correct answer. Now we are sending you the updated one and please disregard our previous answer.

According to Article 18 (2) of the act on foreign workers' employment (Restrictions on Employment), a foreign worker who has left afer having been employed in Korea shall not be reemployed, if six months has not passed since the date of his/her departure.

So after reemployment, during your working period, due to unavoidable reasons, if you have to come back to your country, after 6 months, you may take employment procedures from the begining, taking KLT, again.

As a result, if an Korean employer chooses you among many candidates on job roster as a worker through job-maching done by the job center, you may enter Korea.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

NLCC

COMPUTER TIPS

Your computer running Windows isn’t running in the same speed that it used to run when you first used it. It’s slower, crappy, takes a while to start and tests your patience like anything. There are many reasons for this, let’s try fixing up a few things on your slow Windows PC:

Slow Start Up
There can be a variety of reasons to Windows loading slow during start up. Go to Run, type msconfig and hit enter. Under the ‘Start Up’ tab, uncheck the unwanted programs and press OK. Things should be a bit fine the next time Windows boots.

Another program worth mentioning here is StartUp Delayer which will help in setting after how much time programs should be loaded after Windows boots. For instance, you could set your instant messenger program to load 50 seconds after Windows starts up.

Slow Loading Start Menu
If the Start Menu items are loading slowly, you can open the Registry Editor by typing in the Run menu ‘regedit.exe’ and pressing Enter. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. Look for MenuShowDelay, and double click to edit the value. The lower the number specified, the faster the Start Menu will load.

Slow Right Click Context Menu
Probably the Windows Right Click menu on your computer is loading slow because too many programs added unwanted entries there. Just download this program called Mmm, install it and then modify your context menu to remove unwanted items to speed it up.

Slow Send To Menu
If the Send To menu loads slowly, you can type ’sendto’ in the Run Dialog, and remove unwanted items in the Explorer Window that appears. This should add some speed to it.

Slow Defragmentation
The Windows Defragmenter can’t get any slower. You need to have an alternative to the Windows Defragmenter, and Defraggler is just one of the best ones available in the market. It’s free, and works like a charm and can speed up defragmentation manifold. For some alternatives, see Five Free Programs to Defragment your PC.

Slow loading My Computer Window
If the My Computer Window loads slowly, in the Explorer Window, go to Tools >> Folder Options >> View and uncheck ‘Automatically search for network folders and printers”

Slow loading Add or Remove Programs Applet
This is one of the most annoying piece of programs present in Windows, it takes ages to load if you have a considerable number of programs installed on your computer. You can either use the all-in-one CCleaner for this purpose, or get MyUninstaller that comes as a speedy replacement for Add or Remove Programs.

Slow Ending of Unresponsive Programs
If you’ve clicked on ‘End Task’ if any program is running unresponsive, you might have noticed that the program is not terminated immediately. You can alter this by going to Run >> regedit.exe >> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ and change this value to 1000.

Disable Animations and Appearance Overhauls to maximize performance
If you’re a serious performance junkie, you probably won’t bother about eyecandy. Go to System Properties in the Control Panel. Click ‘Advanced’, then ‘Performance’ and click ‘Adjust for best performance’. This might boost your PC’s performance up a bit.


Additional Tips:

- Always keep your computer clean. Remove Junk and Unnecessary registry entries. Use CCleaner for this purpose, one excellent tool that just does what it says.

- Don’t keep installing software. Install a program only if it really serves you a purpose.

- Keep as less programs as possible running on the System Tray. This essentially means reducing the number of programs that start during Windows start up.

very inspiring story

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pinto was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson..'

Well, all she had was a flat tire, But for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped.

Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me..'

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan ..

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the Money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'

There is an old saying......"What goes around comes around.." Today I share you this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine.

Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.

TO ALL OFW- family members, relatives and friends

Kabayan, Kapuso, Kapamilya basahin mo ito medyo mahaba pero makabuluhan ang mensaheng ito nang isang kapwa Pilipino makikilala mo ang mga tunay na Bayani ng bansang Pilipinas.

Message:

Sa may asawa, kapatid, anak, kaibigan, at kamag-anak na OFW. At lalo na sa mga gustong mangibang-bansa. ...
Nais ko ring ibahagi sa inyo, ang natanggap kong email na ito. Maaaring makatulong ito upang lalong maintindihan ng bawa't isa ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng pagiging isang OFW. Tiyak na may mapupulot tayong aral dito.

Hindi mayaman ang OFW - We have this notion na pag OFW o nasa abroad ay mayaman na. Hindi totoo yun. A regular OFW might earn from P20K-P300K per month depende sa lokasyon. Yung mga nurses sa U.S., Canada, Europa at Australia; Doctors, Engineers at Managers sa Middle East, Teachers sa Texas at iba pang Estado ng America; Caregivers sa U.K. at Canada; Domestic Helpers sa Italy; Chef sa mga Luxury Cruises; Accountants sa Singapore at Hongkong siguro ay mas malaki ang sweldo kumpara sa ibang OFW, but to say that they're rich is a fallacy (amen!). Pero alam niyo ba mas marami ang naghihirap na OFW mas marami ang nagsasakripisyo kumpara sa maginhawa ang buhay sa ibang bansa iilan lang ang sinusuwerte ilan lang may sariling apartment or flat, ilan lang ang nakakatulog nang mahimbing.

Malaki ang pangangailangan kaya karamihan ay nag-a-abroad. Maraming bunganga ang kailangang pakainin kaya umaalis ang mga tao sa Philippines . Madalas, 3/4 o kalahati ng sweldo ay napupunta sa tuition ng anak at gastusin ng pamilya.

Mahirap maging OFW - Kailangan magtipid hangga't kaya. Oo, masarap ang pagkain sa abroad pero madalas na paksiw o adobo at itlog lang tinitira para makaipon. Pagdating ng kinsenas o katapusan, ang unang tinitingnan eh ang conversion ng peso sa dollars, riyals o euro. Mas okay na magtiis sa konti kaysa gutumin ang pamilya. Kapag umuuwi, kailangan may baon kahit konti kasi maraming kamag-anak ang sumusundo sa airport o naghihintay sa probinsya. Alam mo naman 'pag Pinoy, yung tsismis na OFW ka eh surely attracts a lot of kin.

Kapag hindi mo nabigyan ng pasalubong eh magtatampo na yun at sisiraan ka na. Well, hindi naman lahat pero I'm sure sa mga OFW dito eh may mga pangyayaring ganun. Magtatrabaho ka sa bansang iba ang tingin sa mga Pinoy. Malamang marami ang naka-experience ng gulang o discrimination to their various workplaces. Sige lang, tiis lang, iniiyak na lang kasi kawawa naman pamilya 'pag umuwi.

Besides, wala ka naman talagang maasahang trabaho sa Philippines ngayon. Mahal ang bigas, ang gatas, ang sardinas, ang upa sa apartment. Tiis lang kahit maraming kupal sa trabaho, kahit may sakit at walang nag-aalaga, kahit hindi masarap ang tsibog, kahit pangit ang working conditions, kahit delikado, kahit mahirap. Kapag nakapadala ka na, okay na, tawag lang, "hello! kumusta na kayo?".

Hindi bato ang OFW - Tao rin ang OFW, hindi money o cash machine. Napapagod rin, nalulungkot (madalas), nagkakasakit, nag-iisip at nagugutom. Kailangan din ang suporta, kundi man physically, emotionally o spiritually man lang. Alam niyo ba ang hirap nang pagkaroon ng green card sa America ang iba napipilitang mag asawa nang itim o puti matupad lang ang American dream. Sa Canada kailangan mong mag antay ng dalawang taon bago ka makauwi para lang ma antay mo ang residents’ visa status mo kahit namatayan ka na o magkasakit mag titiis ka, sa Italy kailangan mong mag antay ng amnesty mula sa gobyerno nang Italia para may legal na papel ka, alam mo ba ang tirahan ng mga Pilipino sa Italia siksikan sila grabe minsan sampu sa isang maliit na kuwarto parang sardinas. Gayon din sa gitnang silangan minsan kailangan mo pang magmakaawa sa sponsor mo para bigyan ka ng exit/re-entry para lang makauwi ka ng Pilipinas. Ang iba nagpapalit pa nga ng relihiyon para lang magkaroon ng magandang position sa kumpanya. Alam niyo ba ang istorya ng mga babaing naabuso sa Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia , Qatar , Kuwait at marami pang bansa sa Middle East . Madaming nabubugbog nang malulupit na among Egyptian, Jordanian at Arabo, ang mga nagagahasa na pakarami kahit nga lalaki pag napagtripan ka o malasin ka babastusin ka minsan pa nga na re-rape din. And for sure di lang bakla ang nagagahasa pati mga tunay na lalaki ganon kahayop ang mga yan at ganon kahayok sa laman ang mga walanghiyang yan samahan mo pa ng mga Pakistani at Indianong mababaho. Ganon kahirap ang buhay nila sa Gitanang Silangan. Ang mga factory worker sa Taiwan nakikipag sapalaran kahit ibang pangalan ang ginagamit sa passport para lang makabalik sa trabaho kahit mag loan pa sila makapagbigay lang ng placement fee na di bababa sa 100K. Ang mga entertainer sa Japan alam niyo ba ang hirap na pinagdadaanan nila masasabing mayaman ang bansang hapon pero marami din ang demonya diyan hayok sa laman di lahat ng entertainer sa Japan ay nag papatable or nag papatakeout pero ang iba ay wlalang choice kapit sa patalim. Ang daming pinagdaaanang sakripisyo nang mga OFW na tanging OFW lang ang nakakaalam.

Salamat na lang talaga sa TFC ng ABS-CBN at Pinoy TV ng GMA kahit papaano napapawi ang lungkot ng mga Pinoy. Buti na lang at may Jollibee na sa America , Brunei , Hongkong , Saudi Arabia . May Chowking na din sa Dubai at Abu Dhabi , Goldilocks, Max’s, Red Ribbon Gerry ’s Grill at maraming pang iba sa California . Laking tulong ng mga ito para mapawi ang lungkot na dinadala ng mga OFW.

Tumatanda rin ang OFW - Sa mga nakausap at nakita ko, marami ang napanot at kalbo na sa dami ng stress na pinag dadaanan nila. Most of them have signs and symptoms of hypertension, coronary artery disease and arthritis.. Yet, they continue to work thinking about the family they left behind. Marami ang nasa abroad, 20-30 years na, pero wala pa ring ipon. Kahit anong hirap ang pinag dadaanan, sablay pa rin. Masakit pa kung olats rin ang sinusuportahang pamilya - ang anak adik o nabuntis/nakabuntis; ang asawa may kabit. Naalala ko tuloy ang sikat na kanta dati, "NAPAKASAKIT KUYA EDDIE!"

Bayani ang OFW - Totoo yun! Ngayon ko lang na na-realize na bayani ang OFW sa maraming bagay. Hindi bayani na tulad ni Nora Aunor o Flor Contemplacion . Bayani in the truest sense of the word. Hindi katulad ni Rizal o Bonifacio. Mas higit pa dun, mas maraming giyera at gulo ang pinapasok ng OFW para lang mabuhay. Mas maraming pulitika ang kailangang suungin para lang tumagal sa trabaho lalo na't kupal ang mga kasama sa trabaho. Mas mahaba ang pasensya kaysa sa mga ordinaryong kongresista o senador sa Philippines dahil sa takot na mawalan ng sweldo.

Matindi ang OFW - Matindi ang pinoy. Matindi pa sa daga, o cockroaches which survived the cataclysmic evolution. Maraming sakripisyo pero walang makitang tangible solutions or consequences.

Malas ng OFW, swerte ng pulitiko - Hindi umuupo ang OFW para magbigay ng autograph o interbyuhin ng media (unless nakidnap!). Madalas nasa sidelines lang ang OFW. Kapag umaalis, malungkot and on the verge of tears. Kapag dumadating, swerte 'pag may sundo( madalas meron). Kapag naubos na ang ipon, wala ng kamag-anak. Sana sikat ang OFW para may boses sa Kamara. Ang swerte ng mga politiko nakaupo sila at ginagastusan ng pera ng Filipino. Hindi nga sila naiinitan o napapaso ng langis, o napagagalitan ng amo, o kumakain ng paksiw para makatipid, o nakatira sa compound with conditions less than favorable, o nakikisama sa ibang lahi para mabuhay. Ang swerte, sobrang swerte nila.

Matatag ang OFW - Matatag ang OFW, mas matatag pa sa sundalo o kung ano pang grupo na alam nyo. Magaling sa reverse psychology, negotiations at counter-attacks. Tatagal ba ang OFW? Tatagal pa kasi hindi pa natin alam kailan magbabago ang Philippines , kailan nga kaya? o may tsansa pa ba?

Masarap isipin na kasama mo ang pamilya mo araw-araw. Nakikita mo mga anak mong lumalaki at naaalagaan ng maayos. Masarap kumain ng sitaw, mangga at bagoong, lechon na may mang tomas, inihaw na isda, taba ng talangka. Masarap manood ng pelikulang Pinoy mapa Regal, Viva, Star Cinema, GMA kahit pa Seiko yan, luma man o bago. Iba pa rin ang pakiramdam kung kilala mo ang kapitbahay mo. Iba pa rin sa Philippines , iba pa rin kapag Pinoy ang kasama mo (except 'pag kupal at utak-talangka) , iba pa rin 'pag nagkukuwento ka at naiintindihan ng iba ang sinasabi mo. Iba pa rin ang tunog ng "mahal kita!", "day, ginahigugma tika." "Mingaw na ko nimo ba, kalagot!", " Inday, diin ka na subong haw? ganahan guid ko simo ba". Iba pa rin talaga. Sige lang, tiis lang, saan ba't darating din ang pag-asa.

Buti pa si Manny Pacquiao laging pogi kay Ginang Arroyo sa mga Senador at Congressman sana ganon din sila ituring natin silang tunay at Buhay na Bayani isipin na lang natin kung wala sila pano ang Ekonomiya ng ating Bansa ang Bansang kanilang pinakakamahal.


Kung OFW ka at binabasa mo ito, mabuhay ka dahil ikaw ang tunay na BAYANI ng lahing PILIPINO!!! Proud ako sa iyo.



Nagmamahal,

Juan Dela Cruz
