US Government To Ask Social Media History To All Visa Applicants

The American dream has become even more difficult to fulfill. If the plan will be approved, US visa applicants also will be required to submit five years of social media accounts, previously used telephone numbers, email addresses and their international travel history. They will be asked if they have been deported or removed from any country and whether family members have been involved in terrorist activities under the "extreme vetting" policy of President Donald Trump. The US is home to thousands of overseas Filipino workers (OFW) and migrants and the dream country for most nationalities.

Filipina Domestic Worker In US Won A P43 Million Worth Case Against Former Employers

Although the court went in favor of the overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who was overworked and underpaid, her former employer has decided to file an appeal, which Alzate and Sayas’ firm is ready to fight.
The couple has since reportedly hired three people to take shifts, doing what Alzate did all by herself.  While Alzate was not paid based on the minimum wage, these new workers are reportedly receiving minimum wage, together amounting to what should’ve been paid to Alzate while she was working.
“The trial court’s judgment in favor of our nanny client is based on good facts and good law.  Make no mistake about it,” said Sayas.  “We will vigorously fight for the worker on appeal.”
Before Alzate’s case, her lawyer recovered $500,000 for two domestic employees and $425,000 for a security guard.

Cash Aid To Be Given To Displaced OFWs From Kuwait—OWWA

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) imposed a total deployment ban for OFWs bound for Kuwait. The ban covers all types of workers being deployed for the first time, regardless of their skill, profession, or type of work. The deployment ban is in response to the directive of President Rodrigo Duterte due to a number of cases of deaths and abuses of overseas Filipino workers (OFW) in Kuwait. As the ban is extended indefinitely, OWWA is set to give cash assistance to affected OFWs.
