Nakararanas ka ba na sa kusina o sa sahig ka pinatutulog? O kaya naman ay rasyon at kulang ang pagkain na ibinibigay sa'yo? Alamin ang Do's and Don'ts sa ilalim ng kontrata:

🟢 DO: Siguraduhing ibinibigay sa'yo ng employer ang libreng pagkain (Free Food) o kaya naman ay ang tamang Food Allowance na nakasaad sa batas buwan-buwan (kung ayaw mo ng pagkain nila). Dapat din ay may maayos at may pribadong espasyo ka para tulugan.

🔴 DON'T: Huwag mong tiisin kung pinapakain ka lang ng tirang pagkain o pinatutulog sa mga lugar na unsafe at walang privacy (gaya ng banyo o masikip na cabinet area).

📌 If you give your employer a 1-month resignation notice and they terminate you on the spot, your employer must legally pay you 1 month's wages in lieu of notice.

🇭🇰Under Hong Kong’s Employment Ordinance, once you submit your notice, the 1-month countdown begins. If your employer refuses to let you work out that month and dismisses you immediately, it is legally treated as an immediate termination by the employer. Unless you committed gross misconduct justifying a "summary dismissal" (such as fraud or physical violence), your employer cannot fire you on the spot without paying you for that notice period

⬇️What Your Employer Must Pay You Within 7 Days

By law, your employer must settle all final payments within 7 days of your on-the-spot dismissal. Your final payout must include

✔️1 month’s salary (payment in lieu of notice).
✔️Outstanding wages for the days you worked in the current month.
✔️ of untaken annual leave (pro-rata).
✔️A free return flight ticket back to your home country.
✔️Food and travel allowance for your journey home (usually HK$100 per day).
✔️Long service payment, if you have worked for the same employer for 5 years or more.

❗️File a claim if they refuse to pay❗️
: If your employer fails to give you the 1 month's notice pay or flight ticket within 7 days, go immediately to the nearest ⁠👉Labour Department Joint Office to file an official claim against them.

REMINDERS FOR AIRLINE PASSENGERS ✈️

The Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group (PNP-AVSEGROUP) and the Office for Transportation Security (OTS), in coordination with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), are reminding passengers traveling through Ninoy Aquino International Airport and other major airports in the country to strictly observe rules on prohibited items in hand-carry baggage.

Passengers traveling with infants may bring baby formula and breast milk exceeding 100 ml only if these are declared at the security screening checkpoint for further inspection.

Authorities also reiterated that liquids, aerosols, gels, sprays, and similar toiletry items exceeding the allowable limit are prohibited in carry-on baggage. These include contents of pressurized containers, such as:

• Shaving foam and other foams
• Deodorants
• Cosmetic oils
• Hair and shower gels
• Lotions
• Toothpaste and other pastes
• Perfumes and sprays

These items must be placed in checked baggage if they exceed the permitted limit.

Authorities emphasized that any LAGs (liquids, aerosols, and gels) in containers larger than 100 ml are not allowed in hand-carry or cabin luggage, even if the container is only partially filled.

Local airlines such as Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Philippines follow CAAP guidelines, which use watt-hours (Wh), rather than milliampere-hours (mAh), in determining power bank limits.

Passengers may carry up to two power banks below 100Wh in their hand-carry baggage without prior airline approval. Power banks exceeding 100Wh require approval from the airline.

Meanwhile, prohibited items such as fi****ms, toy guns, flare guns, paintball guns and their components, disguised or improvised fi****ms, stun guns, electronic bug zappers, knives, blades, and other sharp objects are only allowed in checked baggage and must be accompanied by the necessary permits and documentation, when applicable. | via Rudy Santos

Ipinagtanggol ng Asian Migrants Coordinating Body (AMCB) ang mga migrant domestic workers matapos umani ng reklamo ang pagtitipon nila sa mga tent sa mga parke at pampublikong lugar sa Hong Kong tuwing holidays.

Ayon kay Sheila Tebia-Bonifacio, napipilitan lamang ang mga domestic worker na manatili sa tent o karton dahil wala silang maayos na lugar na mapagpapahingahan matapos ang anim na araw ng trabaho.

Batay sa pag-aaral ng AMCB, pito sa bawat sampung migrant workers ang walang sariling kuwarto sa bahay ng employer kaya marami ang mas pinipiling manatili sa labas tuwing day off.

Nanawagan ang grupo sa Hong Kong government na maglaan ng ligtas at maayos na resting spaces para sa mga domestic worker tuwing Linggo at public holidays.
Suportado rin ni Wilbert Wanas ang panawagan para sa mas maayos na resting areas na may upuan, palikuran, tubig, at iba pang pangunahing pasilidad para sa migrant workers.

Magkakaroon na ng karagdagang benepisyo ang mga overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) na kukuha ng Civil Service Examination matapos aprubahan ng Civil Service Commission (CSC) ang pagbibigay ng dagdag puntos sa mga kwalipikadong aplikante.

Sa ilalim ng CSC Resolution No. 2600596 na inilabas noong Abril 30, 2026, ipinakilala ang Overseas Filipino Workers–Preference Rating (OFW-PR), na magbibigay ng karagdagang puntos batay sa haba ng karanasan sa abroad at work performance ng isang OFW.

Simula sa pagsusulit sa Agosto 9, 2026, ang mga kwalipikadong OFW na makakakuha ng general rating na hindi bababa sa 70 ay maaaring mabigyan ng dagdag puntos, alinsunod sa mga umiiral na patakaran ng CSC.

Ayon sa CSC, maaaring mag-avail ng nasabing benepisyo ang mga OFW na kasalukuyang nagtatrabaho, dating nagtrabaho, o may kontrata na para magtrabaho sa ibang bansa—anumang bansa, uri ng trabaho, o antas ng sahod.

Gayunman, kinakailangan na ang aplikante ay may kabuuang hindi bababa sa limang taong karanasan sa abroad mula Enero 1, 2000 hanggang sa petsa ng aplikasyon, at dapat ay kumuha ng Civil Service Exam simula Agosto 9, 2026 pataas, gamit man ang pen-and-paper o iba pang paraan. Saklaw nito ang mga examinee na nakakuha ng general rating na hindi bababa sa 70, kahit hindi umabot sa passing mark.

Binigyang-diin ng CSC na layunin ng programa na kilalanin ang propesyonalismo, dedikasyon, at sakripisyo ng mga OFW, at mabigyan sila ng panibagong oportunidad na makapaglingkod sa pamahalaan bilang mga “Lingkod Bayani.”

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗔𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗶!

Through CSC Resolution No. 2600596 dated 30 April 2026, the Civil Service Commission grants the Overseas Filipino Workers–Preference Rating (OFW-PR) to qualified OFWs based on length of overseas work or foreign employment and work performance.

Starting with the 9 August 2026 Civil Service Examination, qualified OFWs who obtain a general rating of not lower than 70.00 may be granted additional civil service exam points, subject to CSC guidelines.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆?
• OFW who has been engaged, is engaged or to be engaged in renumerated activity abroad, regardless of country of destination, nature of work, salary level or employment status.
• OFW who has been contracted for overseas employment but has yet to leave the Philippines

𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
• Must have rendered an aggregate of at least five years of overseas employment from 1 January 2000 up to the date of application, whether continuous or intermittent; and
• Must have applied and taken the scheduled CSE beginning 9 August 2026 and thereafter, whether through pen-and-paper or other modes, and obtained a failed general rating of not lower than 70.

This initiative recognizes the professionalism, dedication, and sacrifices of our OFWs and opens another pathway for them to continue serving the nation as Lingkod Bayani.
