More than 35,000 Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) registered with the Social Security System (SSS) received a total of P16.4 million as income on their savings under the SSS Flexi-Fund Program.

SSS Senior Vice President and International Operations Division Head Judy Frances A. See said Flexi-Fund accounts in 2013 earned P7.24 million in annual incentive benefits (AIBs) on top of the P9.16 million credited as guaranteed earnings, thus bringing the Fund’s effective rate of return to 4.2 percent for the year.

The total AIB, which amounted to 79 percent of total guaranteed earnings, was distributed to the accounts of qualified members on July 31, 2014.

“The Flexi-Fund program remains to be a profitable investment instrument available for OFWs wanting to increase their private savings and retirement income,” See said. “Aside from enjoying the benefits of a risk-free investment, they may also get an additional income at the end of the year.”

Flexi-Fund savings are invested in fixed-income government securities and earn interest based on the average rates of SSS’ short-term placements or 91-day treasury bills, whichever is higher.

“In 2012, the SSS revised the program’s policies to help OFW members earn more from their Flexi-Fund savings. Prior to that, there were no AIBs and the 91-day treasury bill rate was the sole basis for determining Flexi-Fund’s guaranteed earnings,” See said.

The official explained that AIBs may be declared depending on the Flexi-Fund’s actual year-end income. Individual Flexi-Fund accounts of qualified active OFW members (or those with no full withdrawals and benefit claims within the applicable year) will be automatically credited with AIBs based on the member’s share to total Flexi-Fund equity.

As of 2013, members’ equity stood at P391.86 million with the maximum AIB amount of P57,098 credited to a member's account.

“We encourage our OFW Flexi-Fund members to keep their savings intact to maximize the returns on their investments. They will get higher earnings in interest and AIB amount if they save more,” See said.

Launched in 2001, the Flexi-Fund program is a voluntary provident fund and pension-plan scheme offered exclusively to OFW members. It allows OFW members to build up additional funds, which they may use upon retirement or to supplement their benefits under the regular SSS program.

OFW members paying the maximum contribution amount, which is currently P1,760, are qualified to join the program. Any amount, not less than P200, paid in excess of the required P1,760 is automatically credited as Flexi-Fund savings. (SSS)

There was a dinner party hosted by an Asian family with a Filipina Household Service Worker or a domestic helper. The madam is feisty, pretentious, and unkind to the domestic helper.

"An intimate dinner party comes alive as the night takes an unexpected turn. The inhabitants become the imprisoned, and the only way to break free is to confront the lies they have told themselves. A walk through the dark history of the household becomes a desperate struggle for survival, but by dawn it becomes clear that redemption is out of reach."

According to Administrator of POEA, Hans Cacdac,

"We are soft-launching our Balik Manggagawa (BM) Online System, which aims to streamline processing of overseas employment certificates (OECs). The idea is to provide access to an appointment facility or an OEC self-print out system at the BM's convenience.

The URL address to visit is: bmonline.poea.gov.ph ... Kindly read and follow the instructions.

Please note that some previously-issued OECs by PHL Overseas Labor Offices have still not been enrolled with the system, in which case the BM will be guided to the appointment system.

There will be a 100 PHP POEA fee and a 19.50 PHP service fee for use of the e-payment portal.

Comments and queries are welcome during this soft launch."

International Passenger Service Charge (IPSC) Integration Program

Initial scheme was Pay–all

All exempted pax PAY subject to refund

Dialogue with Government Stakeholders and Manning Agencies

On March 2014 there was a clamor to modify the pay-all scheme.

B.) IPSC will NOT be collected for tickets purchased from ticketing offices / travel agents within the Philippines upon presentation of exemption certificate

On July 8, 2014 there was a Dialogue with DOLE, POEA, Land-based and NGOs including the Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards, or PEBA, Inc.

Another volunteer said:

"May lapses kasi dito sa TERMINAL FEE na P550. May batas na libre ang mga OFW ng Terminal Fee. Bakit hindi sinusunod ang batas?

Una: Tadtad ng requirements para makapagparefund. As an OFW na nagmamadaling umuwi sa pamilya natin, we don't have time to fall in line and process for this, kaya expect na lolobo ang 'trust fund' nila.

2nd: Kung magpaparefund ka through representative dapat may Special Power of Attorney. Magkano pagawa ng SPF? Tapos paparefund mo P550 pamasahe pa ng relatives na magpaparefund so lolobo na nga ang 'trust fund'.

3rd: Yung mga kagaya namin na nasa labas ng bansa at kumpanya ang bumibili ng ticket, embedded na daw yung terminal fee, so walang kwenta na OFW kami at exempted kasi company naman ang nagbabayad, at dahil hindi namin pera, baka sakaling di na kami magpaparefund, so mapupunta ang pera sa 'trust fund'.

4th: Yung mga kagaya ng kakilala namin na binibigay sa kanila ang pera pambili ng ticket, mababawasan ng P550 ang kanyang perang pambili, o kung apat sila sa pamilya, mababawasan ng P2200. Kung ipaparefund nila punta sa MIAA Building, fill up ng forms, pipila, at ipapakita ang mga dokumento at kung may connecting flights sila, hindi na nila paparefund kasi hassle pa, so sa 'trust fund' mapupunta ang pera."

1. The terminal fee will be collected and integrated into the airline ticket at the point of sale upon issuance of the ticket to all departing passengers enplaning Manila.

All exemptions mandated by law, i.e., Overseas Filipino Workers, Muslim Pilgrims and National Athletes will be recognized and honored upon proper showing of proof of entitlement by the passenger when purchasing the ticket. ln short, IFSC will not be collected from exempted passengers for tickets issued from ticketing officers / travel agents in the Philippines

b) Secondly, for those exempted passenger who book their ticket online or outside the Philippines, the IPSC will be collected by default since exemption will only be honored upon presentation of the OEC pursuant to sec, 35 of RA 8042 as amended by RA 10022, which provides exemption from travel tax and airport fee . All laws of the country, notwithstanding the migrant worker shall be exempt from the payment of travel tax and airport fee upon proper showing of proof of entitlement by the POEA.

ln this case, refund of the full amount of the terminal fee can be claimed at the airport or at MIAA Administration Building upon presentation of the requisite document.

Terminal Fee Inclusion to Air Ticket Global Protest through Social Media by OFWs

September 14, 2014, 10:14 pm

≫ Next: Kids Playing With Snakes

≪ Previous: Copy of the Memorandum Circular of MIAA Re Integration of Terminal Fee

‘#noto550’ Global Protest through Social Media by OFWs

A significant number of Overseas Filipino Workers is currently protesting the automatic integration of PhP550 terminal fee into flight tickets starting October 1, 2014, as per a memo order signed on June 24, 2014 between the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) and the international air carriers. OFWs are lawfully exempt from paying the terminal fee. The PhP 550 charged to OFWs is refundable but the process is tedious and tough.

The OFWs will be taking this objection to Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms between September 15 to 16 by actively (1) using the hashtag #NOTO550, (2) using a unified profile photo, and (3) posting protest fan signs or photos, (4) signature campaign to petition the MIAA and DOTC, among others. The protest, named “Global Social Media Protest against Terminal Fee Integration” will be spearheaded by the Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards, (PEBA, Inc.), an NGO active on social media that is focused on the welfare of OFWs. PEBA, Inc has members from 70 countries and territories worldwide and has 171,000 Facebook followers to date.

The organization released the unified profile photo and many OFWs are already using it in support for the protest. The OFWs assert that the integration of the terminal fee into flight tickets is against Republic Act No. 8042 or the Migrant Workers Act of 1995, section 35 which provides that OFWs are exempted from paying the travel tax and airport fee.

According to Kenji Solis, one of the volunteers of PEBA from Saudi Arabia, no consultations were made among OFWs and OFW groups before the signing of the order. The protest will be a global plea to defer, if not to stop the implementation of the order pending the discussion for a fair solution that will not hurt the OFWs. PEBA believes that the refund process is a burden to OFWs as an additional cue to the already many counters that they line up to at the airport before leaving the country. Also, the documentation requirement for the refund is tough, leading to the chance of not having it refunded by many OFWs at all. PEBA thinks that this (1) financially impairs the OFWs especially the low-income earning group (domestic helpers, laborers, janitors, food servers), (2) and that the un-refunded money will not necessarily benefit back the OFWs and will possibly fall prey to corruption.

PEBA, Inc, along with other social media sites, including Blas Ople Center, Philippine Migrant Workers Right, Filipino Migrant Worker’s Group, the OFW Family party list and the Global OFW Voices, calls for a comprehensive discussion with MIAA, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and other government agencies to arrive at an acceptable method to exempt the OFWs right at the flight ticket ‘s point of purchase especially purchases made online and those bought outside the Philippines. PEBA, Inc’s membership has presence in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Hongkong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Libya, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, USA, South Africa, Thailand, Italy, France, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, China, and other countries and territories.

TOP 10 REASONS WHY WE OPPOSE THE INTEGRATION OF TERMINAL FEE

September 23, 2014, 10:37 pm

≫ Next: Philippines, No. 8 all over the world as Terrorist HotSpot!?

≪ Previous: Kids Playing With Snakes

TOP 10 REASONS WHY WE OPPOSE THE INTEGRATION OF TERMINAL FEE

1. Against Republic Act 10022

The R.A. 10022 as amended read as follows: SEC. 35. Exemption from Travel Tax, Documentary Stamp and Airport Fee. - All laws to the contrary notwithstanding, the migrant workers shall be exempt from the payment of travel tax and airport-fee upon proper showing of proof entitlement by the POEA.

Sabi ni Raymund L. ng Jeddah Saudi Arabia: “Basic logic lang eh example nagnakaw siya tapos nahuli kaya ibinalik niya, does it acquit him of his crime? Same thing sa batas na di dapat maningil o pagbayarin ng terminal fee ang mga OFWs tapos ngayon sisingilin at isasauli.. Eh kung ganyang logic nila parang sinabi mo na pwedeng magnakaw ng bilyon-bilyon sa gobyerno at pag nahuli ka isasauli mo at wala ng kaso kasi isinauli mo naman.”

2. Not all Employer will Pay OFWs Air Ticket

a) Not all. In countries like United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Singapore and many others, as commenters expressed that they are the one paying for their air tickets. The sponsors only cover the payment once you are on exit or your contract ends.

b) Family Case, where the family stays abroad with the OFW. The OFW shoulder the cost not related to planeticket and sometimes even more depending on what the OFW and the employer agreed to.

c) Some employers give the money to employee and employee will purchase the ticket, now with terminal, they haveto pay extra for the P550

d) During Emergency Leave or Vacation, employees usually pay for their air tickets.

Sabi ni Clarita, a caregiver based in Israel: “Hindi po employer ang bumibili ng ticket naming,sa halos 9 years ko na dito sa Israel, kada bakasyon ko, ako ang bumibili ngticket. Sasagutin lang ng employer ko ang airplane ticket cost kung finishcontract na ako.”

Sabi ni Mel from Dammam, Saudi Arabia:”Fix na rate ang binibigay sa amin ngemployer, kung pick season, mas lalong mag-aabono na kami ng pambayad niyan saair tickets kasi may terminal fee pa.”

3. Money (P550) TerminalFee is already a one day hard earned salary to many OFWs.

Sabi ni Josie ng Doha Qatar: “Samin po na mga kasambahay, isang araw nanaming pinagpaguran yang P550 na yan, halos 18-20 hours na kaming pagod niyanpara lamang ibayad sa terminal fee tapos hindi mo na ipaparefund”

4. Forms? So many forms.

Sabi ni Saysonic, an OFW based in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia: “The forms and many requirements is not in line with PNoy's tuwid na daan wherein he wants all government services to shorten the processes so they can serve more people...however, yung forms na ipapafill-up sa atin in refunding the Terminal Fee is a waste of time plus the fact na nagdagdag ka pang papaswelduhang empleyado sa counter ng refunds.”

5. Long Lines? Which line has a longer Queue, Terminal Fee or OEC verification?

If you want to eliminate longer lines by including the terminal fee in air tickets and then ask OFWs to refund, you should observe at the NAIA counter. Mas mahaba ang linya, ang verification sa OEC, prior to immigration counter kaysa sa linya ng nagbabayad ng Terminal Fee. Now,imagine those OFWs lining up for refund? The long lines at the OEC verification is quick, because it requires only stamping, what more yung may mga papers and documents to fill and present and to be checked?

Sabi ni Beverly from Dubai, UAE: Can they please confirm their figures na 25% lng ang OFWs na gumagamit ng airport. The highest concentration is here in the Middle East na at least every one or two years umuuwi? Halos lahat OFW. Compared sa mga hindi OFW na US or Canada based na kung ilang taon bago umuuwi. I really think if they have a truthful numberkung ilan ang OFW airport users (international flights ratio lang) that alone will show na hindi efficient solution yun to trim down the cues.

6. Refund? Why pay? Why not make a SOLUTION at the point of purchase?

MIAA will pay the airline carriers P150M annually for collecting the terminal fee. Why not at the point of purchase na kung saan bibili ka pa lang ng ticket ay malalaman na nasa abroad ka at OFW ka? There are many measures na pwedeng magagawan ng paraan. IP address when purchase online. Country location when purchasing the air tickets abroad. Proof of being an OFW, can be passport, company ID, old OEC, or simply ask if OFW or not.

7. Computation: Refund and No Refund

If there are 4,000 OFWs leaving the countrydaily: 4,000 x 550 = P2,200.000 How many counters do they have to set-up afterimmigration booth? 2, 4, 6, 10 counters? How many counters ang naka set up saOEC verification, 2 counters. 2 counters sa nagbabayad ng terminal fee and theysaid na makakasave sila ng P50M because of this. How much expenses will theyincur sa REFUND counters?

If there are 1,000 OFWs that will notrefund daily, assuming yan na lang kaliit ang ayaw mahassle, 1,000 x P550 =P550,000. Half Million Pesos daily, in 30 days, P16.5M!!!

8. Airport Scenario OnDeparture: Maiiwan ng Eroplano o Nagmamadali, Madaming Bata.

Dalawa among 3 requirements sa pagrefund sa Departure Area.(section VII item29.i.1and 3).. COPY OF PASSENGER TICKET... at yung PRESENTATION OF BOARDING PASS... magkaibang words ang ginamit.. yung una COPY at yung pangalawa PRESENTATION. Mangangailangang ixerox pa sa loob ng departure area ang Passenger Ticket ang sabi - COPY. We all know na pag nasa loob na ng Departure area di ka na pwede lumabas pagkalampas ng Immigration Counter.. or even if eh lalabas ka pa ba para magpaxerox lang.. kung meron man sa loob

Sabi ni Kathy G. based in Kuwait: “Sa aking experience wala pang PILA ng Terminal Fee refund madami ng naiiwanan ng eroplano. Madaming pila ang dadaanan mo bago ka makapunta ng Boarding Area. Kung after Immigration ang refund, at konti nlng ang oras mo bago ang Depature time hindi mo na gugustuhin na magrefund lalo na kung may kasama kang mga bata na pipila.”

9. If the OFW will not Refund, Where will it go?

How will the government accountfor the unclaimed refunds? Where will it go?

Sabi ni Fidel C. an OFW based in Riyadh Saudi Arabia: “The many 'irregularities' that trapped so many people in the government to become corrupt, it is not hard to understand that funds collected and may not all be refunded accordingly will find its way to fund other corrupt practices. The circular that integrates the terminal fees into the purchase of tickets and then to be refunded is JUST one way to make money for a hidden agenda, like funds for the upcoming elections, extra expenses to win peoples' votes etc. since The 1987 constitution has been changed, it also opened vast opportunities for making laws that have loopholes in their processes. More people came to politics and the budget bloomed sky high for their salaries and wages. All from people's taxes and yet those in power can simply manipulate these laws...and are they themselves the first to be corrupt....SO. Where else will these funds go??? Projects ?? You can't blame the whole world to think that this circular is intended for other reasons and the terminal fees and it's circular of integration is one covert conspiracy under the guise of a Legalized tool of corruption. Just look who is watching..he may be the brains of this all and if it fails, only those below will be blamed.”

10. No Consultation to OFWs.

OFWs are one of the sectors that will be greatly affected by this policy measure,but there was no dialogue or consultation that was conducted before this circular was signed. Nagmuro-muro sila, sila-sila lang hindi man lang tayo sinabihan pero tayo ang magbabayad! Ganyan ba ang demokrasya? Ganyan pa sa Aquino government? Palagay namin hindi. So why allow this to be implemented?

Twelve countries are classed as "extreme risk"; Iraq topped the list, followed by Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Libya.
It also includes the growth economies of Nigeria, the Philippines, Colombia and Kenya.
Iraq, rated as the highest risk country, recorded more than three times as many acts of terrorism as Pakistan with 3,158 attacks resulting in 5,929 deaths - an increase of 2,188 on the previous year.
In Nigeria, the campaign of violence by Islamic militant group Boko Haram saw the country record the highest number of fatalities per attack, resulting in 3,477 killed - an average of 24 people killed per attack, compared to two deaths per attack in Iraq.

“Investor confidence in key sectors, including tourism and oil and gas, has been hurt,” Jordan Perry, a political risk analyst at Maplecroft, said in a statement, referring to turmoil in Libya, Kenya and Egypt. “When faced with rising security costs and decreasing safety for their personnel, companies can, and do, reconsider their country-level commitments.”

The report says investors may also want to monitor activity in Nigeria, the Philippines, Colombia and Kenya, all high-growth economies that fall into the “extreme risk” category.

Kwento ng Isang OFW Galing Bahrain Matapos Bugbugin At Sunugin Ang Mukha Ng Malupit Na Asawa

≪ Previous: List of PHILIPPINES Embassies and Consulates General

Isang kahabag-habag na kwento tungkol sa sinapit ng isang OFW na nagtatrabaho sa Bahrain ang ating nakalap.

Ang kwento ni kabayan at naipalabas na rin sa local news. Ang ating kabayan, tunay na pangalan at Racedha Autor at ang kanyang asawa na si Jilvinson Bandivas Pagaling, ay sampung taon ng mag-asawa. Dalawang taon ang nakalipas ng nagpasya na mangibang bansa si kabayang Racedha, kung saan nagtrabaho sya sa Bahrain. Sa kasamaang palad, ang pera na ipinapadala nya para sa pamilya partikular para sa dalawa nilang anak ay winaldas lamang mister sa bisyo at kabit nito. Ang masaklap pa dito, nalaman ni kabayan na walang natira sa savings nya matapos syang magpakahirap na mawalay sa mga anak upang makapagtrabaho sa ibang bansa. Ang kanyang padala para sa mga anak, ay napunta at ginamit ng asawa na puhunan para sa pagbenta ng illegal na baril at sa kabit nito. Malungkot ang sinapit ng kanyang pamilya ngunit sinikap nya na maayos na makipaghiwalay sa kanyang mister alang-alang sa kanilang anak. Sa kanilang paghihiwalay, napagkasunduan nila na ibenta ang kotse na naipundar para magamit ang pera at makapag simula.

Ngunit ang akala ni kabayan na umpisa ng bagong buhay nya, umpisa ng mas masakit na pagpapahirap sa kanya ng kanyang asawa. Sa kanilang pagkikita para makaharap umano ang buyer ng kanilang sasakyan, ay bugbog at paso sa mukha at katawan ng mainit na kawali ang kanyang inabot sa malupit na asawa at sa kanyang brother-in-law na si Joel Francis Kane Pagaling . Habang binubugbog at pinaplantsa sya ng mainit na kawali ang kapati umano ay nagpadlock ng gate upang hindi sya makalabas at makahingi ng tulong. Makalipas ang 15 minutes ay tsaka laman nabuksan ang gate upang

makalabas sya at makapunta sa hospital. Nagtamo sya ng 3rd degree burn.

Sa kasalukuyan at nagpapagamot pa rin si kabayan, ang konting pera na dala nya ay naubos na sa gamot at hospital bills at nakapang hiram na rin sya. Humihingi sya ng tulong sa mga may mabuting loob. Narirrito po ang details ng kanyang bank account para sa mga gustong tumulong:

Nagsampa na ng kaso si kabayan ngunit hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin naaresto ang kanyang mister, hindi pa din daw kasi makapag issue ng warrant of arrest ang pulisya. Natatakot si kabayan sa pwedeng mangyari, dahil hanggang ngayon nakakatanggap pa rin sya ng pagbabanta mula sa asawa. At ayon sa kanya ang kanyang father-in-law ay retired Major ng Marine, at maraming koneksyon.
Sa kasalukuyan naghahanda si kabayan sa hearing nya sa Feb 16 sa Pasig City Hall. Dahil ang court pa daw ang magdedesisyon kung bibigyan ng arrest warrant ang asawa na nambugbog at sumira sa kanyang kinabukasan.

Filipina In Abu Dhabi Caught Trying To Rob A Money Exchange?

video courtesy of Abu Dhabi Police

According to several reports, a Filipina expatriate in Abu Dhabi has disguised herself last Thursday, by wearing an abaya and tarha while carrying a plastic gun as she tried to rob a money exchange.

Policemen said, they were able to take the 33 year old woman into custody after one of the employees alerted them. The CCTV footage showed that she threatened the employees with the concealed weapon, which was later found out to be a plastic gun.

The woman said that she did it in order to pay her debt amounting to Dh 140,000.

Abu Dhabi police bust attempted robbery at money exchange.

Watching through the video though no face has been shown, we doubt that a Filipino has done this or will do this. We asked the Philippine embassy or the consulate to look into this matter and issue a statement if necessary.

Good News OFWS: Philhealth and Pag-ibig not MANDATORY ANYMORE!

April 8, 2015, 7:48 pm

≫ Next: Filipina OFW Tried to Abort Baby, Caught in Dubai Airport

≪ Previous: Filipina In Abu Dhabi Caught Trying To Rob A Money Exchange?

This is good news to all OFWs.

We sent an email inquiry to POEA confirming this matter and here is the reply:

PEBA:"Pag kukuha po ba kami ng OEC ngayon starting April 1, MANDATORY pa rin po ba na hahanapan o pababayarin kami ng PHILHEALTH and PAG-IBIG or pwede na makakuha ng OEC lang without paying ng mga ito?"

POEA: "Yes we are no longer requiring Philhealth and Pag-Ibig contribution payments in the process of securing OECs. The OWWA contribution, however, will still have to be paid."

So it means those who wants to pay only OEC and OWWA will only pay around P1,000 - P1300 in order to SECURE OEC o Balik Manggagawa Certificate

***********

From Philhealth

Starting April 1, vacationing and
re-hired overseas Filipino workers will have to pay their premium contributions
to the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) separately from
their payments to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) for
their Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs).

This development is in line with the
decision of the POEA to implement a single collection policy starting on the
same date. The POEA will only be collecting fees for OEC and no longer for
PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG Fund.

The collection counters of
PhilHealth and other government agencies, however, will be retained at POEA in
Mandaluyong City and in the one-stop shops of POEA nationwide.

“We call on our OFW-members to pay
their PhilHealth premium contributions first before going to the POEA for their
OECs. This will secure their social health insurance coverage, as well as that
of their legal dependents, for their peace of mind,” said PhilHealth President and CEO Alexander A. Padilla.

Padilla added that “OFW-members may still pay
their premium contributions at the designated PhilHealth counters at the
Balik-Manggagawa Center at the POEA in Mandaluyong City, as well as through any
of the 27 accredited collecting partners that we have earlier authorized for
local collection from OFW-members. They may also pay at our Local Health
Insurance Offices nationwide.”

Overseas Filipinos pay P2,400.00
annually for their premium contribution to PhilHealth. The amount includes
coverage for all qualified legal dependents of a migrant worker such as legal
spouse who is not a PhilHealth member; legitimate and illegitimate children
below 21 years old, unmarried and unemployed; and parents who are below 60
years old but are suffering from permanent disability which renders them
totally dependent on the member for support.

Parents who are 60 years old and
above and are not yet PhilHealth members may enrol under the Senior Citizen
category.

PhilHealth pays for overseas
hospitalization of migrant workers, as well as for the confinement of their
legal dependents in the Philippines, through a reimbursement mechanism. Migrant
workers have 180 calendar days from the date of discharge to file their claim
documents through any of PhilHealth’s 17 Regional Offices in the Philippines. All
refunds are paid for in Philippine peso equivalent. (END)

PAYMENT OF PREMIUM CONTRIBUTIONS
OF MIGRANT WORKERS

EFFECTIVE
APRIL 1, 2015

Starting April 1, vacationing OFWs or balik-manggagawa returning to their
destinations overseas, must proceed to the PhilHealth counters at the POEA
in Ortigas EDSA, Mandaluyong City to pay their premium contributions.

Upon recent advice by the POEA, payments for Overseas Employment
Certificates (OECs) will no longer include PhilHealth premium contributions.
To avoid the long queue, OFWs should pay their PhilHealth premiums first
before going to POEA to get their OECs.
Premium payments may be made at designated PhilHealth Counters at
the Balik-Manggagawa Center, or through any of our accredited collecting
partners nationwide.

The list of ACAs authorized to collect OFW premium
contributions can be found on www.philhealth.gov.ph/advisories/2014/
adv12-03-2014.pdf.
Further inquiries regarding this matter may be referred to the Overseas
Filipinos Program Office at (+63917) 5129149, (+632) 441-7444 ext. 7416
or through ofp@philhealth.gov.ph.

Dubai: A maid has been accused of spiking Coca-Cola with Panadol and taking pills to terminate a pregnancy after she had unmarried sex with her boyfriend.

Dubai International Airport’s paramedic teams rushed the 30-year-old Filipina maid, J.B., to hospital after she collapsed in pain and bled profusely due to the illegal abortion she attempted shortly before boarding a plane for her country in January.

Prosecutors charged the Filipina with having unmarried sex with her countryman, J., who left the UAE a few months back, and trying to get rid of the foetus after taking banned abortion pills.

J.B. entered a guilty plea and confessed that she tried to carry out the abortion herself when she appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance on Sunday.

“Yes, I had consensual sex with J., who impregnated me. I also took abortion pills,” the Filipina told presiding judge Fahd Al Shamsi.
After she recovered from the operation she claimed to police interrogators that she met J. in July 2014 and they had a love affair, according to records.

“We had sex several times. On the day of the incident, I went to the airport with my sponsor who had cancelled my residency and wanted me to go back home. A week before I collapsed at the airport, I purchased two abortion pills from M. for Dh400 after I met him in a mall. I took Panadol and Coca- Cola and used the abortion pills,” she claimed.

Watch: Man Trapped Between Train and Platform and How He Was Freed

≪ Previous: BAGGAGE ALLOWANCES FROM MIDDLE EAST MAJOR AIRLINES to the Philippines

A man who is going inside the train fall in between the platform and the train and stuck his leg. It took more than 17 minutes before he was freed. How he was freed was amazing through the effort of the many passengers.

It was a scary experience captured by the CCTV.

We ask all those riding the train, wherever you maybe to be careful, and to MIND the GAP.

Seeing the CCTV, he unknowingly slide at the gap between the platform and the train. The man appears to be normal after the rescue.

Sa mga bumibiyahe ng train, lalo na sa MRT at LRT sa atin, huwag na munag humawak at magtext or magcelpon habang pumapasok ng train. Delikado!

This is not the first time. In Tokyo Japan, a woman was freed and rescued by tilting the 30tons train by passengers.

Just a question at the PEBA Page. Why is it when OFWs or Filipino's caught in China with a few grams of drugs, they will be electrocuted, sentence to death or beheaded. Why is it in the Philippines, we are too lax, and even just a slap, the CHR will comment against this?

Have we thought how many Filipinos and families are destroyed because of this drug dealers?
