Low Placement Fees For OFWs In This Country, Soon

One of the many problems encountered by overseas Filipino workers (OFW) prior to their deployment is the high placement fees collected by recruitment agencies aside from processing and medical fees and other expenses in securing various documents in applying for overseas jobs. For that reason, they are forced to sell their properties or to avail loans even on a high interest rate. But for the OFW caregivers who are applying for deployment to Israel, the placement fees will become lower as a new bilateral agreement is being forged between the two countries.

Ads EMBED VIDEO HERE Sponsored Links Filipinos wanting to work as caregivers in Israel would no longer have to pay high placement fees as the governments of Israel and the Philippines are expected to forge a bilateral labor agreement during President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s state visit on September 2-5. Philippine Ambassador to the State of Israel Nathaniel Imperial said the labor cooperation agreement will “hopefully ensure that the exploitative placement fees that are being charged to our workers would be substantially reduced, if not, eliminated.” “It will be a government to government agreement. So private recruitment agencies will no longer be involved in the recruitment process,” Imperial said in an interview with Radio Television Malacañang at the Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel on August 30. Aside from the labor and business agreements, Imperial said the Philippine Embassy has identified several areas of cooperation that will be pursued during the President’s visit. “One is in science and technology. Israel, as you know, is known as the start-up nation. It is known for its innovation and its very advanced software and technology. And this is something that we can learn from and that we can partner with Israel,” he said. Over the last few years, he said, the Philippines has broadened the areas of labor cooperation with Israel, which is home to 29,000 Filipino workers and residents. “Around 24,000 of them are caregivers taking care of the elderly in Israel and disabled children. And so in a way, you can say that we are helping Israel cope with an aging population,” he said. Imperial also took pride in saying that labor conditions in Israel are some of the best in the Middle East. “Workers here receive the highest minimum wage in all of the Middle East. And they have days off, they have the right to worship and practice their faith,” he added. “And as you know this is the Holy Land. It’s a special place for Filipino Christians and they’re having a very good time here and enjoying their work even though it’s a very difficult and demanding type of work, caregiving.” Ads The President, who departed Manila Sunday afternoon for Israel, is expected to meet with the Filipino community (Filcom) at Ramada Hotel in Jerusalem at around 9:30 p.m. (Manila time). Imperial said Filipinos are looking forward to the meeting because it is a fulfillment of the President’s promise. “He was supposed to come in May of last year. But because of the Marawi incident, he had to postpone his overseas travel,” he said. Because of the limitations of space though, only around 1,400 Filipinos will be able to meet with President Duterte at the Filcom event venue. Imperial said Filipinos in Israel are fortunate because President Duterte’s visit is the first by a sitting Philippine president since the formal establishment of diplomatic ties 61 years ago. He said the enduring friendship between Israelis and Filipinos actually started in the late 1930s. “In 2009, the Philippine embassy together with the Israeli government dedicated a monument in the city of Rishon Lezion called the Open Doors monument to commemorate the humanitarian assistance provided by the Philippines to Jewish refugees escaping the Holocaust in the late 1930s,” he said. He added that then President Manuel Quezon allowed the entry of around 1,300 Jewish refugees and that monument has attracted a lot of attention from Israeli and Filipino tourists.

President Rodrigo Duterte is now on a four-day state visit to Israel and is set to forge a bilateral agreement during his visit. The OFWs who will be deployed in the holy land will no longer pay high placement fees when the labor agreement is signed.

To own a real property, it is important that you secure proper documentation. You need to be issued a land title as a proof of ownership. But what if your title was lost or damaged no matter how safe you keep it? That is why the Land Registration Administration urges every Filipinos to enjoy the benefit and convenience of converting their paper land titles to electronic titles also known as the eTitle. Ads Sponsored Links The Philippine Embassy in UAE on Tuesday, August 28, encouraged overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the UAE to convert their physical copy of land titles to e-titles or the digital version of land titles. Under the Land Regulatory Authority’s (LRA) Land Titling Conversion Project, original titles in the Registry of Deeds are now stored in digital databases while the landowner’s duplicate copies of land title can now be converted to e-titles. In a video uploaded by LRA, physical copies of land titles are prone to get lost, production of multiple fake copies, fire, and other natural disasters that may damage the physical copies. Landowners will also no longer need to pay hefty fees in securing another copy of the land title when their duplicate copies are lost. Moreover, e-titles also have security features to further protect the legitimacy of the land title. Landowners need to bring their duplicate land title copies and other required documents to the Registry of Deeds or nearest satellite office. The LRA personnel will then compare the duplicate copy to the original copy stored in their database. Once validated, the physical copy will then be converted to e-titles for a minimal fee. The e-title will be available for pick-up after a few days. The Land Registration Authority has been implementing the Voluntary Title Standardization Program. It provides title owners the option to upgrade manually-issued titles to “eTitles”, which are issued by LRA’s new Computerized System. LRA’s Computerized System was developed as part of the agency’s Land Titling Computerization Project, which aims, among others, to: 1. Maintain on-line information on titles that is current, complete and accurate. 2. Maintain the security and integrity of records by safeguarding these from tampering or destruction and deter substitution or insertion of questionable data, in paper or digital form; and 3.

Original titles in the Registry of Deeds Vaults are now digitzed and stored in the computer database while owners’ duplicate copy of title can now be converted to eTitles. eTitles are immune from the dangers paper titles are exposed to. Landowners are also spared from the expensive and tedious reconstitution process whenever the original titles are lost or destroyed.

Perez noticed that models, as with all freelancers, were often paid very late for their work - sometimes months or even years after the contractually required payment period.

The government said headline inflation rate went up to 4.6 % in May as compared to 2.9% last year mainly caused by price increases in fish and seafood, fuel, lubricants, bread, and cereals. Average inflation at 4.1 %, higher than the government’s 2 - 4 % target for 2018.

Cities along the Caribbean coast like Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Santa Marta are hot and humid, while some cities at mid-altitude in the Andes like Medellín (the City of Eternal Spring), Manizales, and other cities in the Coffee Triangle region have beautiful temperate weather
6. Peru

8. Bolivia

You can experience snow in Bolivia in mountains surrounding La Paz. All you need is a certain level of fitness and energy to climb to the top of the glaciers. Even if you are beginners, you can climb because slopes are average and having no experience is not important.
9. Brazil

There is a lot of cities in Brazil that are located in higher altitudes in the southern region that have a snow every year. You can visit the Rio Grande do Sul, Parana, and Santa Catarina.
10. Vietnam

Much closer to the Philippines, since it is located, Southeast Asia. But don't your know that there's a snow in Vietnam? Yes and you can found it in Sapa. Sapa is widely known as the most wonderful snowfall scene in Vietnam.

Snow practically falls at the end of December which is a great time for a Christmas holiday and New Year vacation. This place is considered to be ideal for tourist to experience a snowy winter in a tropical climate nation.
