OFW Who Could Not Speak English Sent Home By Employer

Working abroad is not easy as many people think. It is important that you know how to communicate through spoken language. If you cannot speak the local language of your host country, you should at least learn how to speak English being the universal language.
An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) deployed by her recruitment agency as a household worker in Jeddah was sent home by her employer because she could not understand and speak the English language. Joan just arrived in Saudi Arabia a week ago. The OFW said that because of poverty, she did not finish her elementary education and only reached grade 2. Joan said that she was assisted by her agency during application and all she did was to sign the documents to be able to work abroad.

 After only several weeks of employment due to her failure to speak and understand English, an OFW was sent home by her sponsor.

According to Joan, (real name withheld) because of poverty, she only finished Grade 2. She said she has been living with a man since she was 15. Her partner is now in jail on drug-related charges, which forced her to find a job overseas to support her children.

As to how she applied for an overseas job and deployed in Jeddah if she doesn't understand English, Joan said her recruiter assisted her and that all she did was sign papers. 

 Labor Attaché Nasser Mustafa urged recruitment agencies to thoroughly scrutinize applicants, especially those recommended by their agents.

Aside from problems with the English language, Mustafa also pointed out that some Filipina household workers they have encountered also could not perform household chores properly, others were not even at the proper age.

Kadamay, Get Off Bulacan Housing Sites! -NHA

A group claiming to be advocates of homeless urban poor  that called themselves "Kadamay" (Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap) has invaded  a government housing project in Pandi,Bulacan and occupied the vacant units without authorization from the NHA. 

Earlier this week  the group also tried to occupy a housing project in Bocaue, also in Bulacan but the residents defended their neighborhood . As the Kadamay members caravan  approach their village, they made human barricades and cordon the area. An argument heated between the Kadamay members and the homeowners but the police were there and taken control of the situation. Kadamay members flee as the homeowners watch them but they said the fight is not over yet . The police personnel stayed even the situation has suppressed. Maximum tolerance was observed during handling the stand-off situation.

Before the standoff, the police and the residents had an intelligence report that a large number Kadamay members are their on their way to their village to occupy vacant unit at Bocaue Hills where legitimate house awardees are living. Being knowledgeable about what they earlier did to the nearby town of Pandi, the residents prepared themselves and even cancelled the classes for the threat.

 They gathered at the entrance with sticks, paddles and baseball bats just in case the situation get to worse. 

An eviction order was released by the National Housing Authority ordering the kadamay members who illegally occupied a housing project in Pandi, Bulacan.

600 eviction notices had been serves for the members of kadamay who occupied the vacant housing units without permit at the Villa Elisa resettlement area. about 324 units was occupied by Kadamay out of the total 1,242 units. The eviction notices are posted on doors and walls of the occupied units by NHA representatives.
Some 198 eviction notices was also served by the NHA representatives with the help of the PNP, this time at San Jose Del Monte Heights in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Police records show that 5,107 units were already occupied by Kadamay in the area, but the NHA said that eviction notices are on the way to be served to these illegal occupants.
President Rodrigo Duterte said that he will not tolerate the "anarchy-ish" actions of this group. 
"Don't make me evict you."  President Duterte said.
The President urges Kadamay to have a dialogue instead of taking the matter into their own hands. 

The group says that the lack of action of the government to their housing request force them to do such thing. The NHA said that more eviction notices is yet to be served in other areas.

NHA reps will post the notice even if the occupant refuses to accept or is not in the unit. Occupants have 7 days to vacate. pic.twitter.com/MGbMs3BYcn

Requirements and Fees for Reduced Travel Tax for OFW Dependents

What is a travel tax?
According to TIEZA ( Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority), it is a levy imposed by the Philippine government on individuals who are leaving the Philippines, as provided for by Presidential Decree (PD) 1183. 

A full travel tax for first class passenger is PhP2,700.00 and PhP1,620.00 for economy class. For an average Filipino like me, it’s quite pricey. Overseas Filipino Workers, diplomats and airline crew members are exempted from paying travel tax before but now, travel tax for OFWs are included in their air ticket prize and can be refunded later at the refund counter at NAIA.

However, OFW dependents can apply for  standard reduced travel tax. Children or Minors from 2 years and one (1) day to 12th birthday on date of travel.

Accredited Filipino journalist whose travel is in pursuit of journalistic assignment and 

those authorized by the President of the Republic of the Philippines for reasons of national interest, are also entitled to avail the reduced travel tax.
