More Filipinos Believe That The Country Is On The Right Track

In spite of the rising prices of commodities and services and others due to the high inflation rate, many Filipinos believe that the country is on the right track. Just recently, the new minimum fare is being set to P10 while the minimum wage remains stuck. That is what the latest SWS survey indicates.

The latest survey shows that from 70% in the second quarter of this year, the statistics went up to 75%.
On the other hand, only 22% believed the Philippines is in the wrong path while 3% of the 1,500 respondents did not give an answer during the conducted survey.

Malacañang welcomes this result as a vindication that the administration is doing their job the keep the country on track.

“PRRD emphasized in numerous occasions that as government workers, we are here to serve the people. Our objective as public servants is thus being able to perform our respective duties well,” Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said.

“Therefore, we treat the results of this recent survey not as an accolade but as an inspiration for our men and women in the government as they persist in carrying on with their roles in the service,” Panelo added.

According to the presidential spokesperson, the strong public appreciation would further engage the Filipino people in supporting the Duterte administration in building “a nation where all Filipinos can experience comfortable and decent lives under a trustworthy government.”

Failure VS. Success; Stories Of Two OFWs From Dubai With Totally Opposite Ending

Many Filipinos try to find overseas jobs to earn a bigger salary which they think is not possible if they only have a job in the Philippines. For typical minimum wage earner, it will be almost impossible to buy the things you need like a house and lot and it will be difficult to apply for a home mortgage loan if you lack the requirements and most mortgage firms depend on your capacity to pay.
An overseas Filipino worker earns at least 3 times of their local salaries depending on profession. This allows them to send and earn more. The sad truth is, not everyone who is working abroad share the same success stories. To be able to earn while working abroad, you need determination and endurance to keep holding on to your goal. One way to start is to stay away from any form of vices. It can ruin all your plans and render you defenseless while draining all your resources.
We have two totally different stories of OFWs; one indulged himself in vices and the other who did the total opposite.

Noel worked as a sales supervisor in Dubai for 12 years, until he finally decided to return home and work in the Philippines. It turned out to be a horrible mistake.

He lost everything he loves and owns because of one big mistake - gambling.

The former Dubai expat shares that he used to work as a sales supervisor in Dubai for 12 years. Earning Dh5,000 per month, he was able to afford a better life for his family and even buy a house in an exclusive community. He had his first baby during this time.

In May 2014, he left the UAE for good and work in Manila. He was employed as a hotelier in the Philippines but was eventually laid off.

Without his family's knowledge, he visits several casinos in Manila. It only started as a harmless diversion with friends but soon turned into an addiction. Whenever he would feel stressed at work, he visits the casinos. He had a lot of money from what his saved from working in Dubai so he felt complacent.

His losses outnumbered his wins and he ended up borrowing money from his brother to support his gambling.

He gambled until all his bank account were used, including the money he had saved in Dubai as well as drowning in neck deep debt to several people. His wife also left him with their child with her.

Now, he is trying to start anew, working hard to earn the trust of the people around him including his family.
He now warns Filipino expats to keep away from not only gambling but other habits that may ruin your life and drain you financially.

Meanwhile, another former OFW from Dubai shared his story of how he succeeded in dumping off his vices and focused on business and saving. Now he has a booming business and planning to put up some more.

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.

This amount is deemed the highest pure wage claim awarded to a domestic worker. “The court’s judgment is a victory for Ms. Alzate, especially in the face of a vigorous opposition that did not concede any dime of wages that was owed to her,” said the law firm which represented the Filipina on trial in a press release. “It was a testament to the courage of this Filipina to have pursued her claims all the way up to the trial,” the law firm stated. Alzate filed the case and sought to receive what was owed to her by her employers in salary. At that time, she was paid a fixed monthly rate regardless of how long she worked. Alzate said she was made to work 18 to 24 hours a day.
