To Avoid Offloading, Pre-Screening Counters for OFWs, Travellers Abroad to be Open in All International Airports


To avoid unjust offloading the Bureau of Immigration (BI) will open pre-screening counters in all international airport terminals in the country. According to BI, the opening of the pre-screening desk was a proposal from former Special Assistant to President Christopher Bong Go. It aims to avoid unjust offloading of OFWs traveling as a tourist as well as international bound passengers. BI said there's a report about the increasing number of deferred passengers and unjust offloading of OFWs and it should be addressed, the reason why they adopt the suggestion of Go. Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said the common reason of offloading is the incomplete documents upon the assessment of the immigration forward counters. However, he said that there are alarming incidents regarding certain immigration official involved in alleged unjust offloading of an OFWs who departs as a tourist. Morente believes that Go's suggestion could be a solution to the problem especially for OFWs who fails in the assessment of their travel and other requirements for their travel and work abroad. Sometimes he said it affects OFWs especially those who travel for the first time as a tourist but could not explain the purpose of their travel. Under normal procedures, all Philippine passport holders pass through the immigration forward counters for departure formalities. If the immigration officer finds a problem and the passenger cannot explain the purpose of travel, he or she will be referred to another screening after 45 seconds before they are finally cleared to travel. Aside from unjust offloading pre-screening counters can also shorten long lines in the immigration counters and would contribute to the smooth and faster departure procedures for international-bound travelers. BI added, two pre-screening desks will be set up at NAIA 3 as initial implementation but eventually, all international airport terminals will be covered. It said that pre-screening desk can accommodate up to 2,000 international-bound passengers daily. Under the guidelines, a "Balik Manggagawa OFW with a valid visa and existing work contract with his current employer who intends to go to other countries while on vacation is considered a tourist and allowed to travel according to the guidelines for tourist passengers.

Young Man Burned When Vape Exploded! The Physical And Health Hazards Of Vaping

Since the popularity of vapes or e-cigarettes, many people use it as an alternative to cigarettes. Being believed to be less hazardous to health than smoking tobacco which contains nicotine, vape has become more prolific and used even by minors. Vape shops and stores swarm everywhere without a concrete safety guarantee. The juice used for vape provides its dense liberal smoke. Aside from the questionable chemicals used in vaping, the device itself shows hazard issues. Some of these vapes reportedly explode while in use.

The overseas Filipino workers (OFW) helps the economy by the remittances they send to their family which is spent on their daily needs making local commerce move. In spite of the help they give to the economy, OFWs are often vulnerable to abuse and maltreatment abroad especially those who are deployed as household service workers (HSW). Due to lack or very little knowledge about their rights, many OFWs needs equipping and protection. Recently, two pro-OFW bills were already approved in the House Of Representatives: HB 8110 and HB 1700 which aims to empower and protect the OFWs. Ads Sponsored Links The House of Representatives has approved on second reading two measures aimed at empowering and protecting overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). In a statement by Bagong Henerasyon Party-list Rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy, she said that the Congress approved House Bill (HB) No. 8110, which proposes a standard handbook on the rights and responsibilities of OFWs, and House Bill 1700, granting OFWs the right to equal protection on money claims. Under HB 8110, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) is mandated to develop, publish, disseminate, and update a handbook on the rights and responsibilities of migrant workers. They shall also be the lead agency in implementing an intensified program against illegal recruitment activities. The bill also provides that the handbook shall be written in words that can be easily understood, with translation in the local language as may be necessary. On the other hand, HB 1700 is seeking to amend Republic Act No. 8042, or the “Migrant Workers and Filipino Migrants Act of 1995”, by removing the clause "or for three months for every year of the unexpired term whichever is less" found on the fifth paragraph of Section 10 of the law which refers to money claims for the unexpired portion of a migrant worker's contract. Under the measure, a worker shall be entitled to the full reimbursement of his placement fee and deduction made with interest at 12% per annum in case of termination of overseas employment without just, valid or authorized cause as defined by law or contract, or any unauthorized deduction from the migrant worker’s salary.

Many Filipinos especially those in the remote areas of the country. They can only avail of medical attention once in a blue moon through medical missions coming from non-government organizations (NGO's) and other health advocacy groups. Instances also happen where citizens, even at the heart of the city suffer illnesses and just succumb to their deaths without having treated due to expensive medications and hospitalization. Soon, all Filipinos will have access to free health services including the families of the overseas Filipino workers (OFW). This situation is about to change as the new universal health bill was already approved and soon to be enacted as a law. The Senate passed on third and final reading a bill that seeks to provide adequate health care services to Filipinos. The senators unanimously voted for the approval of Senate Bill #1986 also known as the "Universal Health Care Bill." President Rodrigo Duterte wanted it to be certified urgent and called for the proposed measure's passage at the Senate. Ads Sponsored Links With this law being enacted, Filipinos will be given health care coverage and benefits under the National Health Security Program, which replaces the National Health Insurance Program or Philhealth. Under the universal health care law, "contributors" or those who have the capacity to pay will have to pay for their premiums while the government will shoulder the contributions of non-contributors. Funds for the subsidy will be included in the annual General Appropriations Act as well as sin taxes from cigarettes will also be a major source of funding for the policy. Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, who authored the bill when he was still a party-list representative, thanked the Senate for passing what he considers to be a "groundbreaking" law. The House of Representative had previously passed a version of the bill (House Bill No 5784) in September 2017. The President's move in certifying the bill as urgent shows the administration's "unrelenting commitment to provide the marginalized and disadvantaged with sufficient and better health care services," Roque said.

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 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.

Two Bills For OFWS: HB 8110 And HB 1700 Now Approved In Congress
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. There is nothing wrong with extending help but there has to be a limitation. This would avoid them to become dependent on your assistance that they would knock your everytime they need financial help. Working overseas is not forever and you will eventually come home for good. It is you and your spouse who need to work hand-in-hand to succeed. Together you must find ways to take care of your finances and save for the future of your family.
