Do Not Post Your Kids' School Card, ID, Certificates And Other School Credentials On Social Media

Could Social Media Bashing Really Affect You?

The late literary critic Umberto Eco once said: “Social media gives legions of idiots the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner.”
He could be right.

Ads “Moral outrage has traditionally served a valuable social function, expressing group values and inhibiting deviant behavior, but the exponential dynamics of Internet postings make this expression of legitimate individual outrage appear excessive and unjust,” said SGSB psychology professor, Benoît Monin and graduate student Takuya Sawaoka. They said that while people are quick to call attention to racist, sexist or unpatriotic behavior on social media, they are seen more like bullies giving excessive punishment when that outcry goes viral. The researchers cited a 2013 incident about a public outcry over a young woman who twitted “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!” Her post went viral and despite explaining that it was meant to be a joke, it affected her and the worse effect was she lost her job because of it. A netizen in the Philippines who also lost his job after posting an insensitive remark over the earthquakes that rocked various parts of the country in April. He said it was just meant to be a bit of humor. “On the one hand, speaking out against injustice is vital for social progress, and it’s admirable that people feel empowered to call out words and actions they believe are wrong,” said Sawaoka. “On the other hand, it’s hard not to feel somewhat sympathetic for people who are belittled by thousands of strangers online, and who even lose friends and careers as a result of a poorly thought-out joke.” The question about how to respond to injustice in the digital age is complex, Sawaoka and Monin concluded in the paper.

As overseas Filipino workers (OFW) working in an unfamiliar territory, we feel comfortable whenever we see a compatriot or a fellow Filipino abroad. In some instances, very unfortunate things happen like getting into a trouble because of a fellow Filipino. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Consulate General in Saudi Arabia confirmed that an OFW was stabbed and killed by a fellow OFW in Jeddah, KSA. Ads Sponsored Links A Filipino was stabbed and killed by a fellow Filipino in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, according to the confirmation of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). The victim (name withheld) was a 29-year-old from Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao, who worked as a family driver in Jeddah. The suspect (name withheld), a 34-year-old from Capiz, also a driver for the same family The suspect remains under police custody after he was arrested immediately after the incident. The two "allegedly engaged in a fistfight in front of the house of their employer that ended in the victim getting fatally stabbed by his fellow driver." The motive of the stabbing is still unknown. The Consulate General and the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Jeddah will extend full assistance to both Filipinos as well as their families. The victim is set for a vacation to the Philippines soon but the incident turned out to be unfortunate that he will come home inside a box. Consul General Edgar Badajos said that the suspect is facing a death sentence as per Saudi Sharia law. However, since they are both Filipinos, it is possible that the victim's family could instead He assured that they will render assistance to help both OFWs.

More often, families with overseas Filipino workers (OFW) rely on their OFW breadwinner in providing their needs and without doing any efforts to have extra income. They use the money they receive to pay their bills, rents, mortgages, etc. They tend to spend the remittances they receive and wait for the next remittance when the money is over without any savings. This is the reason why no matter how long the OFWs exhaust themselves working overseas, they are still coming home broke and without any savings. Encouraging our spouse or anyone who is responsible for the remittances you send to save could be a great help and could guarantee a hassle-free retirement, much more if they placed this savings to a profitable investment. Ads Sponsored Links Stick to a budget schedule Convince your spouse to make a monthly budget and commit to saving a portion of the monthly remittance. They could also spend the remaining part of the budget after setting aside the savings. No matter how small the savings, it could mean a lot after a period of time you regularly do it. Use the credit card wisely or do not use it at all Credit cards could be an advantage when purchasing but it can also lure the holder to spend more. Whenever possible, avoid using credit cards and use cash instead. It would save you from paying extra charges and interests which can really raise your spending. The best rule should be, do not spend the money you do not have. Always make a list of important things to buy Many OFW spouses tend to go on a shopping spree just after receiving the remittance and let their impulses lead in which items they like to buy at the very moment without putting their priorities on the things they really needed. Encourage them to develop a habit and discipline of making a list of the things they need to prioritize during shopping and strictly follow what is on the list to avoid spending too much on the things that are not really important. Live a lifestyle that suits your income Many OFW spouses live like one day millionaire. after claiming the remittances you sent, they will go straight to the mall, eat at the fast-food chain of their choice, go on a shopping spree buying what they want without even thinking if they still have the money to go through the month until the next remittance. If their budget got short, they would borrow money from someone which would cause the next budget to bear the shortage and the cycle goes on. There's nothing wrong with being generous but not too much Advise your spouse to exercise caution when giving help to extended families, relatives or friends.

Taking Unauthorized Video, This Kabayan Was Detained In Saudi Arabia

A reminder to all overseas Filipino workers (OFW), especially those who are deployed in Saudi Arabia: never take a video without permission or use a video without authorization or consent from a person you are filming.
There are many cases of OFWs who found refuge and resolution to their situations abroad by posting videos in social media to find help, but the case of an OFW had a different outcome. Instead of just finding justice, the authorities had him arrested and jailed after they saw the video charging him for illegally filming a person without their consent.

Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (Owwa)-Bacolod Focal Person Rizza Joy Moldes said Bacoleño Wilmar Sayson was arrested by Riyadh authorities because of this. Moldes said taking unauthorized video is prohibited among Arab countries. "This has something to do with cultural differences," she said, adding that "though, we are not yet sure of the specific charges his employer might file against him." Sayson, 27, of Barangay Handumanan in Bacolod City earlier posted series of videos on Facebook to ask for help after allegedly being maltreated by his employer. The first live video posted on September 25 showed Sayson crying saying that he was punched by his male employer. Sayson claimed that his employer got mad at him because a fellow caregiver is making up stories against him. The OFW further claimed that he was fired by his employer without paying for his salary.

The agency has endorsed them to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) as the case involves police matters. "This is to provide appropriate assistance especially for the family's request for repatriation," Moldes said, adding that they were also notified by Sayson's agency that his concern was already brought up to their foreign counterpart. In August 2017, the Bacoleño OFW went abroad for a two-year working contract as a household worker. His mother Susan said he is the youngest of the four siblings.

Only this year he learned that the relationship is a scam.

Accordingly, Calanog was clueless that a Facebook profile with her photos was being used to extort money from an OFW. When Miguel admitted that he is only scamming the seaman, she even demanded P26,000 from him and issue a threat that "something bad will happen" to the real girl he loves if he will not give the money. Egea agreed to meet up with Miguel at the McDonald’s of Ever Gotesco Mall along Commonwealth for the exchange. What she did not know is that Egea comes with undercover cops. The alleged scammer was arrested together with her six other cohorts. They are now facing charges.
