Scared of illegal recruiters? You better be! These are people who will trick you that you can go abroad when you pay them. They will offer irresistible jobs that don’t exist. It’s hard not to believe these people because they will make it look like their offers are true. Many people fall for their trap but be wise enough to recognize them before you give your money away.

Illegal Recruiters are people or agencies that don’t have licenses. There are a lot of them looking for their next victims. This comprehensive report is about Illegal Recruiters. It also lists the tips that the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) gives to future OFWs so that they don’t become victims. These are the things that you should remember.

Go to Licensed Recruitment Agencies

Whatever you do, don’t look for the ‘fast way’ to going abroad. You will only feel disappointed when you learn that the agency you’re talking to doesn’t have license. The first step is to look for agencies that have licenses. Even license can be a sham so you still need to verify if what they’re showing you is real.

2. Listen to POEA Advises

Don’t do under-the-table deals. Always verify with the POEA if a ‘recruiter’ is telling the truth about a certain job abroad. A legal job opening will have an ‘approved JO’ (Job order). Another thing worth mentioning is that most illegal recruiters don’t have extensive knowledge about job openings in other countries.

3. Go to Authorized Agencies

Illegal Recruiters will sweet talk you. They will make you believe that what they’re trying to sell to you is real. These ‘real jobs’ that need to go under-the-table are illegal. You might feel drawn to their offers but don’t give in. Remember that you can get real jobs from real companies. Their fees may be higher or the process can be longer but you’re assured that you can go abroad.

4. About Payments

The only allowable placement fee is the first-month salary. There are some cases when charging for placement fee is not even allowed. You can sign these fees but only after signing an employment contract. You also need to ask for an official receipt where the total amount paid by you is written.

It’s also important to note that real agencies won’t ask for immediate payments of the airfares, intended visa, and processing costs. You can pay this after you have a job offer.

5. About Working Visa

Getting a work visa or permit is a prerequisite for getting job offers. Some illegal recruiters tell their victims to get a tourist or visit visa but getting a work visa is more appropriate so you can get the right and legal job. It’ also better to transact with government offices and personnel to avoid fixers and illegal recruiters.

Final Thoughts

Illegal recruiters are everywhere and they will lure you to deal with them but choose licensed recruitment agencies when looking for jobs abroad. It may take longer but no one will steal your money when working with these agencies. Also, listen to what the government has to say about the matter. they have your wellbeing in mind and they don’t want you to become a victim. Happy job hunting!

The scenario gets worse when typhoons strike. It’s not only the commuters that are affected, but also many households that are situated in areas that are prone to flood.

During the third quarter of the year and onward, we should expect for more rain breakdowns that will make most of the roads heavily-flooded. Thus, causes more traffic jams. The traffic is the top issue in Metro Manila. The situation aggravates during rainy seasons when the roads are flooded.

Unlike other causes of traffic, flooding won’t only affect the traffic, but it can also damage the properties such as vehicles. To avoid the hassle and inconvenience due to flooding, you need to be a smart commuter or a wise driver. This can be possible by knowing the areas in Metro Manila that is prone to flood.

To keep the public well-informed during rainy seasons, the DOST in coordination with PAGASA and MMDA has created Project Noah. The main objective of this program is to provide accurate, responsive, and integrated disaster prevention and mitigation system to the public. Visiting the website of Project NOAH you can find photos and maps that can help you to monitor the flood-prone areas. Thus, give them early warning system.

How to be ready during flooding?

It is not enough to be well-informed. You need also to be ready to survive flooding and other unexpected disasters while on the road.

To ensure that your vehicle is protected, you should ensure to have car insurance. Keep in mind that you car can be damaged once it gets stuck in flood. Likewise, before you drive make sure to check your car and practice BLOWBAGETS.

If the weather is bad and you know that it will rain hard, as much as possible you should avoid driving your car. However, if you can’t go without your car, the best thing to do is to keep updated and drive carefully.

100-Days Maternity Leave with Pay Approved by the Congress

Recently, the House Bill No. 4113 had passed the final reading in the Congress with 191-0-0 votes. This proposed bill that increases the number of paid 100-days maternity leave of working women will be forwarded to the bicameral conference committee.

In case that this House Bill will be approved into law, both the government and private sector will benefit from it. The current paid maternity leave is 60-days and once approved, women workers will enjoy additional of 40-days.

This bill was drafted by both the House of the Representative and the Senate. The main objective of this bill is to allow the mother to spend extended quality time with the newborn. It will also give time to the mother to be fully recovered after giving birth. The authors of this bill emphasized that such period is significant for the baby and the mother.

According to Herrera-DY, the chairperson of the House Committee on Women and Gender Equality, the House Bill 4113 will cover all working women regardless of the status. It is also applicable whether for miscarriage or childbirth.

However, in spite of the willingness to help, the benefit of this bill is only applicable up to the fourth pregnancy. This means that on the fifth pregnancy, the 60-days paid maternity leave will apply. Additionally, Rep. Edcel Lagman had proposed an amendment to penalize employers that will discriminate against women.

READ:

Likewise, Alfredo Vargas III of Quezon City that allowing the mother to extend her maternity leaves will reduce the cases of mortality among infants. It’s because the mother can stay and care for her baby for longer periods. It also gives more time to practice breastfeeding that is essential to both the infant and the mother.

Aside from the paid maternity leave that the company will provide, active members of SSS are also entitled to receive the daily maternity benefit according to the average monthly salary credit within 100 days.

Maaari nang Sampahan ng Kaso ang may Maliliit na Utang sa Pamamagitan ng Batas na Small Claims

Do you know that when you are in default to pay your debt on the agreed time you will be charged under the small claims procedure?

Many people in the Philippines resorted to borrowing money to make both ends meet. This is very common especially if a financial emergency happens days before the next payday. In case that it is impossible to borrow from relatives and friends, the last option is to apply for a cash loan from lenders.

The minimum amount of loan that a borrower can obtain is Php3, 000 to Php5, 000. But, the approval of the loan application also depends on the capability of the borrower to repay. In fact, there are instances in which the lender was unable to collect the borrowed amount completely.

To protect the lenders from uncollected debts, the Supreme Court has been pushing the revised small claims procedure. This will enable the lender to collect the debt payments without filing a criminal case for non-paying borrowers.

However, this new system is giving the right to the lender to file a civil case in the municipal or metropolitan court against the offenders. Under the Simple Claims procedure, the filing fee is affordable as compared to filing a criminal case. If the complainant does not have the capability to pay the fee, he or she may be exempted.

According to Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, the Small Claims is an affordable way to obtain justice. But, it does not require a lawyer’s assistance if the borrowed amount is lesser than Php200, 000. The complainant is required to pass the required documents and fill out the form.

The coverage of the Small Claims procedure includes debt, loan, mortgages, services, and rent. Once the complainant had filed the case in the municipal court, the defendant will be informed and required to answer the complaint within 30 days.

In 2016, almost 13,000 cases filed for small claims were solved.

Failure to Provide Child Support Can Now Be Considered As Child Abuse and May Lead to Imprisonment

Failure to Provide Child Support Can Now Be Considered As Child Abuse and May Lead to Imprisonment

Failure to give child support due to relationships end up well. There are instances that relationships still fail even after the couple already spent years together bind by marriage. Breaking off a relationship is worse for those with children. When a couple finally decided to put an end to the relationship, the ones that suffer and affected the most are the kids. After separation, the kid is usually left to the custody of either of the couple, most likely with the mother.

Raising a kid would be pretty costly. There will be educational, medical, and daily expenses. If a single parent is not financially capable, or even if she is, she can claim for financial support in order to make sure that the child’s needs are met.

Child Support in the Philippines

In the Philippines, there is a law that covers single parents who want to ask for financial support from their spouses. A list of parent’s responsibilities and the persons they will be responsible for are listed Under Republic Act 193 to 222. Under the family code, children whether a legitimate child or not has the right to receive a financial support until they reach the working age of 19.

It does not matter whether the parents are married or not. It is a parent’s responsibility to provide support to their kids.

But how can a single parent possibly claim a financial support?

As mentioned above, even if the couple is not married, already divorced or has put an end to the relationship, they cannot get away from the responsibility stated in the law.

This only means that a father cannot just run away from the responsibility. In case they do, the mother can seek guidance and assistance from legal practitioners or lawyers. This, however, will entail massive legal fees. Those who do not have enough means to pay for an attorney can take advantage of the service offered by the government agencies. Agencies that offer help for free or lower fees include the Department of Justice (DOJ), Public Attorney’s Office, and even from DSWD.

After filing a case, they will issue a protection order for the children involved. Usually, it means that the kids will have to remain under the mother’s custody during the case’ duration.

If you are going to make a claim, you will need to prepare a PSA Birth Certificate for your children or child and a PSA Marriage Certificate. That’s the basic documents you will need.

The failure to provide child support may be subject to certain penalties as per the new House Bill that has been passed. The penalties are applicable if the financial support amount is more than thirty thousand pesos or if the parent misses about six months of child support.

Children deserve all the love and care they can possibly get. They should not suffer the consequences of failed relationships. So every single parent should consider making a claim. Besides, it is the right of the child. Don’t be afraid to get one. The government got your back.
