eml hindi hadlang sa women employment P

INAWI ng labor department ang pangamba ng marami na matitigil ang pagtanggap sa trabaho gayundin ang pagkakaroon ng limitasyon sa partisipasyon sa produktibong paggawa ng mga kababaihan dulot ng Expanded Maternity Leave (EML).

Hinimok rin ni Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III ang mga negosyo na bigyan ng pagkakataon ang bagong panukala na umalalay sa kapakanan ng mga kababaihang manggagawa at empleyado.

Aniya, hindi dapat makahadlang ang takot ng ilan sa paghahanapbuhay ng ating mga kababaihan dahil ang kanilang kakayahan at kasanayan ang dapat na basehan sa pagtanggap sa kanila at hindi ang kanilang kasarian.

Binigyang-diin pa ni Bello na isang hakbang ang nasabing batas sa magbibigay-kakayahan sa mga kababaihan na maging aktibo sa ekonomiya sa pamamagitan ng pagtulong sa kanila na magkaroon ng balanseng buhay at pamumuhay.

Matutugunan din ng EML ang isyu tungkol sa mababang partisipasyon ng mga kababaihan sa labor force na nasa 45 hanggang 50 porsyento lamang dahil sa marami nilang gampanin

sa bahay.

Nilagdaan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang Expanded Maternity Leave bilang batas noong nakaraang buwan na nagbibigay ng 105 araw o 3 buwan na paid maternity leave sa mga kababaihang manggagawa sakop man ng gobyerno o pribadong sektor at walang kinalaman ang kasariang sibil o legitimacy ng anak.

Inaayos na ng labor department ang implementing rules and regulation ng batas katulong ang Civil Service Commission at Social Security System at sa kasalukuyan ay maaari ng mapakinabangan at magamit ng manggagawang kababaihan ang mga benepisyo na sakop ng bagong batas.

R.CARITATIVO

Nagsagawa ng pagkilos ang grupo ng Liga Independencia Pilipinas sa tanggapan ni Sec. Silvestre Bello III ng Department of Labor upang sang-ayunan ang desisyon ni Pangulong Duterte na opisyal ng ititigil ang pakikipagusap sa CPP-NPA-NDF hinggil sa usapang kapayapaan. BONG SON

650 Ephedrine tabs seized at CMEC The Bureau of Customs (BOC) at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) seized inbound parcels at the Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC) from Canada containing 650 tablets of Ephedrine in 13 bottles declared as Asthma supplements Tuesday night.

NAIA customs district collector Mimel Talusan said that the parcel from Ontario, Canada when examined contains some 13 bottles and each bottle contains 50 tablets of 8mg of Ephedrine which the sender declared as asthma supplement.

Customs and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) after several testing the 650 tablets were seized in violation of R.A. 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act and R.A. 10863 or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act. Talusan said the Ephedrine which has a similar chemical structure to amphetamines, is a highly sought-after chemical precursor in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine and was declared as asthma supplements.

The said tablets can be abused by athletes some are even diagnosed of poisoning in a medicolegal death investigation.

Talusan also said that the claimant was arrested and about to file charges before the Pasay City Prosecutors Office in violation of R.A 9165.

To date, Customs NAIA has 35 record-breaking drug busts from March 2018 to March 2019.

Customs NAIA assured the public that its officers are working 24/7 to protect the border.

Pag-IBIG Fund posts record net income of P33.17 B in 2018, up 10%; declares highest dividends of P28.23B

Pag-IBIG Fund achieved another banner year in 2018 as robust loan payment collections and enhanced operational efficiencies pushed profits to a record high. Members will directly benefit from the Fund’s strong financial standing as dividends are derived from the Fund’s net income, its top executives said.

“We previously said that 2017 was our best year ever. But the year 2018 was even better. PagIBIG Fund earned P33.17 billion in net income which is the highest net income in the history of the Fund. Pag-IBIG continues to heed the call of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte for government to provide social benefits to more Filipinos which is why 86 percent of the net income, amounting to P28.23 billion, will be given back to members in the form of dividends and will be credited to their respective accounts. This is the highest dividend amount we have ever declared,” said Secretary Eduardo D. del Rosario, Chairperson of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.

The Fund declared dividend rates at 6.91 percent for regular Pag-IBIG savings and 7.41 percent for the Modified Pag-IBIG 2 (MP2) Savings program, which means members’ savings grow faster in Pag-IBIG Fund, he added.

Pag-IBIG Fund’s net income grew 10 percent from 2017, sustaining its double-digit growth in the last five years. The Fund’s

exemplary financial performance is further illustrated by the doubling of its net income over a short four-year period. Total assets, meanwhile, have grown 9 percent to P533.72 billion by end of 2018 – also the highest ever.

Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti said that high collections of loan amortizations and operational efficiencies pushed income to record-breaking levels.

In 2018, home loan payments reached P55.73 billion, growing 9 percent from 2017 and breaking the record for the highest home loan collected in a year. This feat can be attributed to the Fund’s high performing loans ratio (PLR) of 90.26 percent, which means nine out of 10 borrowers are paying their housing loan obligations with Pag-IBIG Fund religiously.

Also, cash loan payments totaled P53.21 billion or 4 percent higher than in 2017.

“Pag-IBIG Fund’s success story in 2018 is built on the trust and support of its members.

Because of our members’ trust, they continuously avail of PagIBIG programs and ensure timely payment of their loans, which result in Pag-IBIG Fund’s strong and stable financial position.

Pag-IBIG Fund prides itself on being a government institution that serves and takes care of its members kaya makakaasa po kayo sa inyong Lingkod PagIBIG na magbibigay ng tapat na serbisyo, mula sa puso,” CEO Moti said.

FACT CHECKING SA MGA KANDIDATO—LIM HINIMOK ng nagbabalik na alkalde ng Maynila Alfredo S. Lim ang mga botante sa lungsod na magsagawa ng masusing ‘fact-checking’ o pag-alam sa pagkatao ng lahat ng kandidato upang makagawa ng matalinong desisyon, kasabay ng paghayag ng suporta sa mensahe ni President Rodrigo Duterte na ‘you are what you vote (for).’

Binigyang-diin ni Lim na gaya ni Duterte, siya man ay naniniwala na ‘kung ano ang binoboto mo ay ganun ka din o ang pagkatao mo’.

Sa isang pulong-ugnayan sa mga miyembro ng Muslim community sa ika-anim na distrito ng Maynila, nanawagan din si Lim sa mga residente na gamitin ang impormasyon na napakadaling makuha mula sa Internet upang pag-aralan ang karakter o pagkatao ng mga kandidato na humihingi ng kanilang boto. Kasama ni Lim sa nasabing ugnayan ang kanyang mga kandidato bilang konsehal sa ikaanim na distrito na sina Raffy Jimenez at Angel Agub.

Sa kaso ng mga tumatakbo sa lokal na halalan sa Maynila, sinabi ni Lim na sa isang ‘click’ lang sa computer o cellphone ay madali nang makikita ng mga botante ang track record ng lahat ng kandidato mula sa pagka-alkalde hanggang sa mga congressman at councilors.

Madali na din umanong makita o makaliskisan kung ang isang kandidato ay tumatakbo para lang makapagnakaw sa kaban ng lungsod o para gamitin ang kanyang inaasam na posisyon para magpayaman.

Gayundin, maaari ding bisitahin ng mga botante kung ano-ano ang mga nagawang kabutihan ng isang kandidato para sa kapakanan ng lungsod ng Maynila.

Ani Lim, nasa kamay ng mga botante ang kapangyarihan upang baguhin o ayusin ng kanilang kinabukasan, sa pamamagitan ng pagluklok sa kapangyarihan ng mga taong karapat-dapat at may taglay na kakayahan at konsensiya upang

gawin ang tama at makatutulong sa mga taga-lungsod, laluna sa mahihirap o kapos sa buhay.

Tama umano ang sinabi ni Presidente Duterte na ang uri ng pagkatao ng isang botante ay makikita sa uri ng kandidatong ibinoboto nito.

‘Pag gusto ng magnanakaw, malamang eh mahilig din magnakaw ‘yung botante. Ganun lang ‘yun,’ pahayag ni Lim. Sinabi naman ng chief of staff ni Lim na si Ric de Guzman na sa kaso ni Lim ay ni hindi na kailangan pang manaliksik dahil solido ang pruweba nito pagdating sa kanyang mga ginawa. ukod sa kanyang ‘womb-to-tomb’ program na inilunsad sa unang pag-upo niya bilang mayor noong 1992 at kung saan lahat ng uri ng libreng serbisyo ay ibinibigay ng lungsod mula sa pagbubuntis pa lang hanggang sa kamatayan, naipatayo din ni Lim ang limang pampublikong ospital na nagbibigay ng libreng gamutan, hospitalization at medisina, bilang dagdag sa inabutan niya na nag-iisang Ospital ng Maynila kung kaya’t bawat isa sa anim na distrito ng Maynila ay may tig-isa nang ospital ngayon.

Itinatag din ni Lim ang City College of Manila (ngayon ay Universidad de Manila) na nagbibigay ng libreng college education para sa mga ordinaryong mag-aaral at bilang karagdagan sa Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila na para naman sa mga honor students mula sa public high schools. Bukod diyan, sinabi ni De Guzman na naitayo din sa panahon ni Lim ang 485 na libreng day care centers; 97 bagong buildings para sa public elementary at high school; 59 barangay health centers na nagbibigay ng mga libreng gamot at treatment ng mga minor na sakit; 12 lying-in clinics na nagbibigay ng libreng panganganak para sa mga mahihirap na buntis; 132 bagong-gawang kalsada; mga libreng playground at mga sports complex at centralized disaster evacuation centers sa Tondo at Baseco.

Dumalo si dating Manila Mayor Alfredo S. Lim sa pulong-ugnayan kasama ang mga miyembro ng Muslim community sa ika-anim na distrito ng Maynila, kasama ang kanyang mga kandidato sa pagka-konsehal sa sixth district, na sina Raffy Jimenes (kaliwa ni Lim) at Angel Agub (kanan ni Lim).

THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A TRAVEL AGENT

T

HE tendency of most people like me who have a travel bucket list is to visit places in the most economical and practical way. This is understandable because to many, traveling is still a luxury given the prohibitive costs it entails.

But traveling has become cheaper, with airlines and hotels offering promos every now and then. The recent PTAA Travel Expo 2019 at SMX MOA is proof that traveling has become a trend in this generation. There are those who would move heaven and earth to get to the places they only dream or read about, to get out of their comfort zones and be able to immerse in a completely different world.

Making the travel plans on our own, though, could make the trip more expensive, or difficult. I realized this when I went to Hong Kong, Macau, and China for the first time from March 15 to 17, 2019.

By the good graces and generosity of my dear friend Marilyn de Mesa, owner of Seasons Travel and Tours that is one of the Philippines’ top travel agencies handling corporate accounts, I received an invitation from CVT Travel Services Ltd. to attend their annual group assembly at the Intercontinental Huizhou Resort in Guangdong Province, China located two hours by land from Hong Kong. Seasons Travel and Tours is a supplier of travel services to the CVT Group owned by Jacky Hung and a partner.

It was during that travel that I realized the practicality and importance of buying tickets or contracting the services of a travel agent for my trips unless, perhaps, when ticket fare is downright low, which means having to lose sleep and trying my luck to get the ever-elusive ticket during an airline promo sale on the internet.

It was after experiencing the difficulty of crossing borders and getting to some of the best yet relatively undiscovered and unfrequented tourist destinations that I realized the importance of tour operators in making travelling a more enjoyable, hassle-free, and adventurous experience.

Getting to Hong Kong, then Macau, and finally to China means going through Immigration many times. I had similar experiences with Immigration in Amsterdam and Switzerland last year, but these were short-lived, as English

BY JOJIE CODILLA

was widely spoken. In China, some of our companions who were tour operators and agents—among the most seasoned travelers at that—

were held by Immigration officers for an hour and a half, for one reason or another.

We were lucky that upon our arrival in Hong Kong from the Philippines, Richard Cheng Hung Fai, one of Mr. Hung’s most trusted and reliable people, was there to meet us and bring us all the way to China and back. If not for the efficiency and familiarity of the CVT people with the workings of the host countries’ systems, most likely some people in our group could have been denied entry, considering their very strict immigration laws.

Thank you, CVT Group and Season’s Travel and Tours, for this perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! May your businesses flourish even more!

by Customs and PDEA operatives at the Manila International Container Port (MICP) on Friday March 22, 2019 .The shipment was consigned to Wealth Lotus Empire Corporation and was misdeclared as plastic resin by suspected Chinese Drug syndicate. DEXTER GATOC EDWIN ROÑO ALCALA

BARBIE AT JAK, NAG-DATE SA JAPAN U

SAP-USAPAN ngayon ang pagpunta nina Barbie Forteza at Jak Roberto sa Japan habang sila ay nagsu-shooting ng “Kara Mia” para sa GMA Network. At dahil magkasintahan nga ang dalawa, walang nakapigil sa kanila na iwan ang Pilipinas upang magpalamig sa Japan.

Bale bakasyon na rin ito ng dalawa dahil sa kanilang mahigpit na iskedyul at ang pagtakas sa magulo at maurirat na showbiz ay makapagpapaluwag ng kanilang mga pakiramdam.

Matagal nang magkasintahan ang dalawang batang bituin at ang paglilimayon ay isa sa mga prebilihiyo na makakamtan ng dalawang subsob sa trabaho. *** Simula rin ito ng tag-araw at ang Japan ay makapagpapalamig sa kanilang mainit na pakiramdam sa mainit at maalingasang na bansa na tulad ng Pilipinas.

Date na rin ito ng magsing-irog na kapwa boto ang kani-kanilang pamilya.

Umalis muna sa Pilipinas sina Jak at Barbie at sosolohin nila ang bawat sandali ng kanilang buhay.

Inggit na inggit naman sa kanila ang kapatid ni Roberto na si Sanya Lopez.

Kasi nga ay nais din ni Sanya na makapagbakasyon sa matinding trabaho. Pero naliligayahan na rin siya sa kaligayahan ng kanyang kapatid at ng kanyang magiging hipag.

“I wish them the best of times,” wika ni Lopez sa panayam. *** Puring-puri ng beteranong aktor na si Jess Evardona si Coco Martin sa pagbibigay sa kanya ng pagkakataon na makasama sa wala-na-ngayatang-katapusang teleserye na “Ang Probinsiyano” ng ABS-CBN. Matagal na bakante sa trabaho si Jess at kailangan niyang kumita kaya nag-text siya kay Coco na kung maaari ay makasama siya sa kahit na anong edisyon ng umaatikabong aksyon na palatuntunan.

“Nag-text back agad naman si Coco at isinama ako sa isa sa mahahalagang eksena ng ‘Ang Probinsiyano.’ Ako ‘yong isa sa mga sympathizer ng mga Vendetta.

Kasama ko sa mga eksena sina Nilo de Castro at Pwitney Tayson.

Maganda ang mga eksena namin.

Kuwelang kasama sina Nilo at Pwitney.

“Grabe. Ang bait ni Coco. Marami siyang natutulungan. Isa pa, marami na rin naman kaming pinagsamahan n’yan. Mula pa sa ‘Tirador,’ ‘Foster Child,’ ‘Serbis,’ ‘Captive’ at iba pa, kami na ang magkakasama.

“Kung maalaga sa amin si Brillante Mendoza, maalaga rin si Coco sa amin ngayon. Kaya nga ang ganda ng exposure ko sa ‘Ang Probinsiyano.’ Sana, maulit muli,” natatawang pahayag ni Evardone. *** Sikat na sikat si Jess bilang

aktor. Ang kulang lang sa kanya ay publicity. Sana naman ay isulat din siya nang isulat ng mga kapwa namin peryodistang pampelikula para naman lalo pa siyang kunin ng malalaking kumpanya.

Itong hindi pagkuha sa kanya ng mga produksyon para bigyan siya ng malalaki at makabuluhang mga papel ang kanyang pinagtatampo sa industriya ng aliw.

Gusto niyang mapatunayan na kaya rin niya ang ginagawa ng malalaking nating bituin. Kung sa talento lang naman ay matalento si Evardone kaya naman dapat siyang kunin ng mga prodyuser at direktor para sa kanilang mga pelikula at telebisyon. *** Dumating na ang kontrobersyal na Fil-Briton filmmaker na si Jowee Morel mula sa dalawang linggong singkad na pagtatrabaho sa United Kingdom.

Inikot ni Jowee ang buong Great Britain para sundan ang buhay at pakikipagsapalaran ni Cynthia Barker, ang kauna-unahang Filipina na inihalal ng mga taga-UK na maging konsehal ng Elstree town at Borehamwood borough sa Inglaterya.

May ginagawang documentary film si Jowee para kay Cynthia at ito ang ipinaparoo’t parito ng direktor para mabigyan ng magandang biswal ang mga Pinoy kaugnay ng pagmamalaki natin na may isang Filipina na nangunguna at maganda ang papel na ginagampanan sa pulitika ng mga British.

Kaya palakpakan natin sina Morel at Barker sa kanilang mga adhikain na mapaunlad pa ang buhay ng mga Pinoy kahit na malayo si Cynthia sa atin.

Itinataguyod kasi ni Barker ang kapakanan ng mga Pinoy sa UK. *** Pahinga muna sa tambalan nila sina James Reid at Nadine Lustre kahit na sila ay nagtsampiyon din sa pagpapareha sa pelikula at telebisyon.

Tutal naman ay sila rin ang nagkikita sa araw-araw na ginawa ng Diyos bilang magkasintahan. Kasi nga ay parang mag-asawa na ang dalawa sa pagpipisan.

[School] Wins Goldilocks’ Artful Cake Battle GOLDILOCKS once again gave creative culinary arts students center stage to turn their cakes into masterful works of art in their Cake Battle, the inter-collegiate cake decorating challenge. This year’s theme is “Dance” marterpiece for Novice category, while “Musical”, “ Wedding” and Over All for Advance category.

This year, a total of ten teams split into two categories - Novice and Advanced - all vying for the title of champion cake decorators.

The winners of the competition would also get P250,000.00 worth of baking showcase plus P20,000.00 worth of Goldilocks Gift Certificates for the Advance Category and P100,000.00 worth of baking showcase plus P10,000.00 worth of Goldilocks Gift Certificates for Novice category as prizes for the competition.

“Goldilocks really values the young talent we get to see every year we have our Cake Battle,” says Goldilocks Marketing Director, Cherry Caluya. “For this year’s Cake Battle, we wanted to focus on the creativity and talent of young Filipinos when they create beautiful masterpieces.

We believe that cake decorating puts the art of baking to the next level, and the talent we have as Filipinos is endless.”

As the country’s number one bakeshop, Goldilocks has been hosting their inter-collegiate cake decorating competition for over a decade now. Together with

Gourdo’s and Avoset, Goldilocks was able to set the stage for the Goldilocks Cake Battle 2019 as they provided the materials and ingredients for each team to use in the competition.

Many teams from Culinary schools, universities and college all over the Philippines show off their skill in decorating cakes, ranging from elegant to out of this world. With so much talent participating this year, the competition was definitely fierce.

Over 100 Culinary and Hospitality Management schools sent teams to compete in this year’s Cake Battle, that began early this year. Only ten teams were chosen to compete in two categories, split between their cake battle experience. Teams from Bulacan State University - San Jose Del Monte, Gabriel Taborin College

of Davao Foundation, Inc., Lyceum of the Philippines - Laguna, University of Cebu, and the Western Institute of Technology competed in finals for the Novice Category. Bulacan State University - Malolos, Holy Cross of Davao College, Lyceum of the Philippines - Laguna, St. Anne College of Lucena, and the Western Institute of Technology made up the teams who competed in the Advanced Category finals.

The finalists and audience of this year’s Cake Battle finals had the chance to rub elbows with and meet Goldilocks’ celebrity endorser, Liza Soberano. The country’s top cake decorators, Heny Sison, Jackie Ang Po, and Penk Ching, all had a hard time judging the competition because of the high-level skill and artistry displayed during the competition, but ultimately Lyceum of the Philippines University Laguna and Western Institute of Technology bagged the championship.

Echoing Women Empowerment by improving their health IN celebration of Women’s month this March, we hear a lot of emphasis towards empowering the female population and urge for gender equality.

The Philippine Commission for Women (PCW) adopts the theme “Making Change Work for Women” which aims to implement programs and services that address strategic gender needs of women.

In our society nowadays, more and more women are engaging in what used to be jobs only meant for men. In some cases, we witness women excelling in the corporate industry more than male.

This development brings a positive outlook towards the goal of gender equality.

Aside from these developments, women still hold certain roles in the family, being a mother and a wife has its own necessities and striking a balance between these personas can be very challenging.

In order to do this, Women need additional supplements to stay healthy and be able to prolong their roles that they have to accomplish. It is noted that women needs more calcium intake than men. This is due to the fact that women go through several life stages that increases their calcium needs.

1- Puberty During this stage, women are at the prime of their being active physically. This is also the stage when they start menstruating. It is important to consume the right levels of calcium everyday to prevent the risk of different bone conditions, and try to build up your calcium levels from your younger days.

2. Aldulting In starting an adult life and having a family, Women needs a certain level of estrogen. Estrogen is essential for woman sex hormone. Estrogen also maintains the bone health. Calcium is crucial in maintaining estrogen intact in a woman’s body.

3. Pregnancy During this stage, woman is required to double their calcium intake regularly. This is to supply the calcium needs of the fetus as much as her own. The fetus needs normal levels of calcium to ensure proper heart function and rate as well as proper function of nervous system and muscles. Neglecting the additional calcium intake during your pregnancy will result in utilization of your stored calcium which will be harmful for you in the long term.

4. Menopause Study shows that the bone density declines by 20% after menopause when estrogen level starts to deplete, hence, it is recommended to take sufficient levels of calcium to prevent the problem of bones osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis, is a condition where bones become too porous and loose its density. As bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly increased. The loss of bone occurs silently and progressively. Often there are no symptoms until the first fracture occurs.

Having stated the importance of calcium in your body, it is important to take calcium supplements to assure you are getting your daily requirement of calcium and as well as other immune boosting supplements. Bewell-C plus Calcium combines the next generation organic calcium with the non-acidic form of vitamin-C and vitamin D3 in order to form a 3 in 1 vitamin supplement that strengthens both the immune system and the bone health of the patient. The patented Bewell-C plus Calcium formula takes advantage of the synergy of these vitamins to make an effective but affordable way to stay strong and healthy.

stranded along the coastline of Brgy. Cadunan, Mabini, Compostela Valley Province.

The incident was reported to the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources XI, which immediately dispatched its BFAR XI Stranding Team, FPLEG Personnel and the PFO ComVal personnel to respond to the beached marine mammal.

Several attempts to properly ferry the beached whale to deeper waters were made, despite these efforts, however, the whale returned to shallow waters where its condition further deteriorated and eventually, died.

A composite team of personnel from BFAR XI’s City Fisheries Office in Davao City and Fisheries Management, Regulatory and Enforcement Division and D’Bone Collector’s Museum performed a necropsy on the dead whale.

BFAR XI collected tissue samples for scientific determination of other possible causes of death through a series of histopathologic tests. The initial diagnosis of death is INGESTION OF HUGE AMOUNT (88 pounds) OF FOREIGN OBJECTS MOSTLY OF PLASTICS AND CELLOPHANE, pending the complete result of necropsy. The animal remains is now undergoing preservation process and its bones will be preserved for educational exhibit purposes.

The Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) expresses regrets over this incident, which is somehow a result of improper wastes disposal. Following this incident, we urge the general public and all concerned government entities to support the Malinis at Masaganang Karagatan, a holistic program of the DA-BFAR, which would ensure that our seas and oceans are free of plastics and other harmful pollutants.

DA-BFAR is committed to further intensifying its monitoring and law enforcement efforts to be more responsive on incidents of marine mammal stranding and safeguard our seas from destructive activities to prevent similar occurrences from happening in the future.

MULA SA PAHINA 8

RIGODON...

ISANG ‘drayber’ ng Bureau of Immigration ang nasakote ng mga agent ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) sa isang entrapment operation sa isang kilalang coffee shop diyan sa Intramuros.

Kinilala ang suspek na si Joel Mon, na nakatalaga sa opisina ni BI Deputy Commissioner Aldwyn Alegre.

Wattafak!?

Isinagawa ang operasyon noon lang Lunes matapos ireklamo si Mon ng isang alyas “Reyna” na muntin nang mabiktima ng suspek ng halagang P1.5 milyon bilang bayad sa ‘piyansa’ ng isang overstaying na foreign national.

“Tine-text niya ako ng 1 million tapos naging P1.2M at nang pumayag ako bigla naman niyang pinadagdagan ng 1.5 million kaya napilitan na akong humingi ng tulong sa NBI,” saad ni alyas Reyna.

Ginawa palang ‘pera o bayong’ ang diskarte?!

“Sinabi rin niya na huwag sasabihin ang hinihinging pera kung hindi ay papatayin daw nila ang asawa ko dahil may grupo raw sila sa loob,” dagdag ng complainant.

Nauna raw nag-alok ng tulong si tukmol ‘este si Mon dahil nagpakilala siya na empleyado ng deputy commissioner ng BI, ngunit kalaunan ay nagkaroon na ng pagbabanta sa mga usapan nila.

Iniimbestigahan naman ng NBI kung may iba pang kasabwat ang suspek na nahaharap ngayon sa kasong robbery-extortion.

Pahayag ng office ni Depcom Alegre, agad daw nilang tinanggal ang naturang empleyado dahil noon pa man ay marami na silang naririnig na masamang balita tungkol sa nasabing driver.

Kasalukuyan ngayong nagsasagawa ng sarili nilang imbestigasyon ang tanggapan ni Depcom Alegre sa iba pang sangkot sa isyung ito.

By the way, hindi ba naiscreen ang mga taong binibitbit niya sa bureau?

Well, marami sa mga bagong pasok sa ahensiya na hindi pa man nagtatagal sa kanilang trabaho ay inuuna na agad isipin ang pagkakakitaan.

Para bang naging

synonymous sa salitang ‘pitsa’ basta pumasok ka sa BI?!

Parang mga nagmamadaling magkamal nang malaking pera sa bureau ‘di ba?

Saan naman kaya kumuha ng lakas ng loob itong si Lamon ‘este Mon para mangikil nang ganyan kalaking pera?

Hindi nila iniisip na madalas nakataya ang pangalan ng mga “backer” nila gaya na lang ng nangyari sa tao ni Alegre.

I hope hindi lang sa mga pasahero magkaroon ng proper screening ang BI. Maging sa pagtanggap ng mga bagong empleyado ay dapat nilang talasan ang screening sa pagkatao ng aplikante bago pa maging kahihiyan ng ahensiya! *****

BUKOL-ESTAFA TANDEM AT JOWAWITS I-LIFESTYLE CHECK!

LIFESTYLE check!

Ito ngayon ang sigaw ng mga nabukulang IOs matapos nilang malaman na natakasan sila ng estafa-in-tandem nina Boy Imbisibol Bukol King and Boy Bukol Prince!

Mahirap na raw kasi sa kanila ang maghabol dahil parang blessing in disguise pa ang pagkakadestino ng dalawang bukolero matapos silang ibato sa labas ng airport.

Susme sobra palang kinawawa ang mga IO! Isipin na lang na umabot yata sa 32 mansanas ang atraso sa itaas ng dalawang kolokoy hindi pa raw kasama riyan ang utang sa mga nagtatak na ‘di bababa sa 10 mansanas!

Sonabagan!!!

Magkano naman kaya ‘yung sariling kita nila?

Anak ng tungaw!

Laking kuwarta nga talaga ang nakulimbat at kinita ng tandem!

Hindi nakapagtataka na “can afford” na talaga silang mag-live in luxury!

Kumusta naman kaya ang Toyota Land Cruiser na latest acquisition ni Boy Bukol King?

Pati mansion(s) ay bonggacious at talagang todo pa-feng shui pa?

Mansions mansion!

King enough ka naman boy!

Ganyan pala talaga katindi ang “kevlar” sa katawan!

Katawan ba o mukha??

Ano kaya ang “say” ni SOJ Menardo Guevarra sa clamor ng mga taong apektado?!

Ating abangan! *****

BI LIAR’s & LAWYER’s ILLICIT BONDING

TAWAGIN natin silang liar & lawyer…

Yes, sila po ang tinutukoy natin! ‘Yung dalawang magaling na lawyer diyan sa Bureau of Immigration (BI) na mainit na pinag-uusapan ngayon dahil tila nabuhay na naman ang mga ‘kiliti’ sa kanilang mga katawan kaya muling nasumpungan ang isa’t isa sa kanilang rendezvous.

Pero, this time, mukhang nagchange venue sila.

Pero kahit nagpalit ng rendezvous, may naka-spot pa rin sa kanila --- sa isang posh & cozy Mediterranean dining place diyan sa S-Maison Conrad Manila.

Huwaw!

Paano nagagawa ng dalawang legal persons na labagin ang batas ng Diyos at batas ng tao para lamang ‘mairaos’ ang katikats ng kanilang mga katawan?!

Hindi man lang ba sila natakot sa ‘tabak’ ng batas na maaaring maipataw sa kanila oras na mabisto sila ng mga waswit nila?

Mahabaging langit, maawa kayo sa kanila!

Pero mukhang sulit na sulit ang pagmamahal ni Mr. Attorney kay Madam Attorney, dahil kapag nakikita raw ni sir si madam, halos magkabali-bali na ang leeg kalilingon huwag lamang mawala sa kanyang paningin ang babaeng kasalo sa bawal na pag-irog.

Ang masasabi natin sa dalawang liars and lawyers na ating subject for the day --- kaiingat kayo --- dahil kung “no more lonely nights” kayo ngayon, baka kasunod niyan ay masulit rin ang ‘kalungkutan’ ninyo at magkabalibali na rin ang kaligayahan ninyo sa buhay.

May panahon pa para huwag kayong magsisi sa bandang huli.

Ngayon pa lang ay ipagpag na ninyo ang mga kati sa katawan ninyo.

At kung ‘yan naman ay sinasabi ninyong tunay na pagnanasa ‘este pag-ibig, aba, maghintay kayo sa next life ninyo!

Mangahiya kayo mga h - - d – t kayo!

UNDER AGE OFWs BABANTAYAN NG BI I

PINAG-UTOS ni Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente sa lahat ng Immigration Officers sa NAIA ang mahigpit na screening para sa umaalis na overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) sa bansa kaugnay ng nauulit na pananamantala ng ilang sindikato ng human trafficking.

Isa rin sa naging kabilinbilinan ni Morente kay BI-Ports Operations Division Chief Grifton Medina na siguruhing sila ay nasa tamang edad at kompleto ang mga dokumento bago payagang lumabas ng bansa.

Ayon sa BI Commissioner, “This syndicate has stopped deploying under aged women, following last year’s numerous interceptions, as well as arrests by local authorities. However, with this recent interception, it seems that this scheme is making a comeback. I implore our kababayans who wish to work abroad, do not fall victim to these syndicates, “Otherwise, in cases of doubt, our officers are instructed to refer these passengers to our Travel Control and Enforcement Unit (TCEU) for secondary inspection,” dagdag ni Commissioner.

Bilang tugon ng hepe ng POD, daglian niyang ipinag-utos ang masusing pre-screening sa mga umaalis na OFW lalo sa profiling ng mga menor de edad.

Ayon sa ipinatutupad na batas, kinakailangan na above 23 years old ang age requirement ng mga household service workers.

Napag-alaman na hinigpitan ang screening sa hanay nila matapos ma-intercept ng immigration officers ang isang 21 anyos na Filipina household worker na nakatakdang lumipad sakay ng Philippine Airlines patungong Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sinabi ni Glenn Ford Comia, BI-TCEU NAIA Head Supervisor, inamin ng Pinay na siya ay hindi 25 anyos gaya ng nakasaad sa kanyang pasaporte. Saad pa ng menor de edad, nalaman lang niya na pinalitan ng kanyang recruiter ang kanyang kapanganakan sa passport

(DOB) matapos tanggapin ang dokumento sa kanila.

Ang Filipina ay kasalukuyang nasa pangangalaga ng InterAgency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) para sa karagdagang imbestigasyon.

Matatandaaan na noon lang isang taon ay umabot sa mahigit 100 OFWs ang nasagip ng BI sa kamay ng tiwaling recruiters. Ang iba rito ay totoong mga minors.

Karaniwang palsipikado ang hawak nilang dokumento kasama ang pamemeke ng kanilang overseas employment permits, working visas at job contracts. *****

DALAWANG PUGANTE NASAKOTE NG BIFSU

DALAWANG pugante, kapwa wanted, mula Amerika at South Korea ang nakatakdang ipadeport ng Bureau of Immigration.

Kinilala ni BI-Commissioner Jaime Morente sina US citizen Joel Pasay Aquino, 56 anyos, naaresto sa Clark Field, Angeles City, Pampanga at ang Koreano na si Kim Jae Hyoung, 60 anyos, na hinuli naman sa Lapu-Lapu City.

Kapwa arestado ng BI Fugitive Search Unit (FSU) ang naturang fugitives.

Si Aquino ay wanted sa child pornography sa Nevada habang si Kim ay isang notorious na swindler sa South Korea.

Kapwa serious offenses ang kinakaharap ng dalawa at sila ay kinakailan mai-deport agad sa madaling panahon, ayon sa hepe ng ahensiya.

Parehong may deportation order ang dalawa at ang kanilang mga pasaporte ay kinansela ng kanilang mga embahada.

Napag-alaman na si Aquino ay wanted ng Federal authorities sa Nevada para sa salang “receipt of child pornography” at may warrant of arrest na inisyu ng US District Court.

Batay sa batas ng Amerika,

Benjamin Torcuator, Wilfredo de Jesus, Lowell Tamayo, Allen Ledesma, Larry Salazar, Christopher Yu, Randall dela Cruz, Dimple Mayumi-Mallari at Ma. Nerissa Pineda.

Ilan sa kanila ay miyembro ng

AIRPORT BLITZ JERRY YAP

BLITZ AIRPORT

JERRYTravel YAP Control and Enforcement

aabot sa lima hanggang 20 taon ang kulong sa naturang fugitive kapag napatunayan na guilty sa kasong child pornography.

Samantala ang Koreano namang si Kim ay may standing warrant of arrest sa kasong “fraud” na inisyu ng korte sa Seoul matapos tumangay ito ng 265.4 milyong Korean Won o katumbas na $234 milyon.

Ayon sa Korean authorities, nakombinsi niyang maginvest ang kanyang biktima at nagawang ipalipat ang pera sa pamamagitan ng wire transfer sa kanyang account.

Pero hindi tumupad si Kim sa kanilang usapan at lumipad patungong Filipinas.

Bago masakote ay halos apat na taon nang naninirahan sa bansa ang nasabing Koreano. *****

9 IMMIGRATION OFFICERS IN HOT WATER

SIYAM na Immigration Officers ang nakatakdang imbitahan sa Department of Justice kaugnay sa pagkakasangkot sa kaso ng ilang na-repatriate na Filipino patungong Europa.

Sa complaint ni Jeraldine Hinanay, PNP-WCTC kay Ivy Mitos Devanadera, kasamang ipinatawag ang mga IOs na sina

Unit (TCEU) at ang iba naman ay Primary Officers na naka-assign sa counters sa NAIA. Susmaryosep!

What is happening with you, guys?!

Totoo ba na ang iba raw diyan ay mga bagong IO? Bata pa pero tulisan na huh?!

Repatriated from Europe matapos na mabistong peke ang kanilang Schengen visa?

Madalas daw ay sa “Malta” ang destinasyon ng mga may Schengen visa at doon na rin sila magtatrabaho.

Yown!

Ang ipinagtataka lang nila ay paano nakalusot sa naturang officers ang “japeyks” na Schengen visa?

Ayon sa report na umabot sa atin ay nasa P450Kper pax ang ibinayad ng nagkasa ng operasyon?!

Mahirap paniwalaan na may sabwatang nagaganap sa pagitan nila.

Ngunit ayon sa mga kuwentokuwento sa BI NAIA, tila isang tao lang ang nagtatatak sa visa nila?!

One-man-show kumbaga!

Tama ba, IO Chung?

Well, sa laki ng kinita ng nagfacilitate sa nasabing trabaho, I’m sure afford na ng nagtatak ng visa na matulog sa mga kilalang hotels at hindi lang sa “parking” ng NAIA para

maiwasan ang “sex scandal?” *****

PAMEMEKE NG CERTIFICATE OF ASSUMPTION

NG ISANG IO IMBESTIGAHAN! ISA sa dapat imbestigahan ngayon ng BI Board of Discipline ang pamemeke umano sa isang “certificate of assumption” courtesy of a newly hired immigration officer.

Ginamit raw ang naturang certification para sa reimbursement ni ma’am IO. WTF?!

Kailan lang ay naging problema rin ng isang bagong batch ng mga IO ang pamemeke sa pirma ni POD Chief Grifton Medina noong siya ay nasa Personnel Section pa.

Ang nakapagtataka bakit naging talamak sa BI ngayon ang ganitong uri ng diskarte?

Ang sinasabing certificate of assumption na may “forged signature” ng isang dating BI deputy commissioner ay pinatunayan ng isang staff sa opisina na pineke nga ang pirma ng kanyang dating boss?!

Juice colored!

May hugot kaya siya kay ma’am IO dahil sa kanyang kakaibang charm?!

Hehehe!

Gaano naman kaya katotoo na pinipilit lang daw pagtakpan ang naturang issue dahil ‘magkapanalig’ si ma’am IO at ang namumuno ngayon ng BOD?!

Samantala, habang tayo ay ‘waiting’ sa kahihinatnan ng ginagawang imbestigasyon ay magpa-chill-chill muna tayo sa saliw ng mga kanta ni JAYA! ‘Yun lang po! *****
