🌟 Three Filipino Migrant Workers Honored as 2026 National Model Workers in Taiwan 🇵🇭🇹🇼

As we celebrate Labor Day, we honor the dedication and achievements of workers who help drive society forward.

Among this year's award-winning workers are three outstanding Filipino workers:

🥇De Hitta Reymar Labalan from Uni-President Superior Commissary Corporation in New Taipei City
🥇Erese Jeanesis Cleofas, an institutional caregiver at Hsiao Ai Home for the Aged in Pingtung County; and
🥇Gemina Marife Sulay, a home-based caretaker in Kaohsiung.

The migrant workers from four Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, having left their homes to work in Taiwan, not only overcame language barriers and cultural differences but also actively learned and integrated into the workplace, striving to improve their skills, including continuing their education to obtain skills certificates and applying what they learned to their daily work. Some migrant workers even successfully transitioned to mid-level skilled positions.

Let us congratulate them on their well-deserved recognition and share this proud moment with their families.

Happy Labor Day to all Filipino workers in Taiwan and the Philippines! 🇵🇭✨

FAQs
What is Hantavirus syndrome?
Hantavirus syndrome is an acute virus disease caused by hantavirus. The incubation period is 14-21 days (range, 5–42 days). It is divided into two strains: Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).The HFRS Symptoms include fever that’s last from 3-8 days, headache, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal or back pain. The case fatality ranges from 5% to 15%.The HPS symptoms include fever, fatigue, severe muscle ache, headaches, dizziness, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. The case fatality is up to 35% to 50%.
How are Hantavirus syndrome transmitted?
Hantavirus syndrome is rarely transmitted directly from person to person and transmitted by specific rodent species that is infected with Hantavirus. The infected carrier rodents are most probably asymptomatic and may excrete the virus in their excreta (faeces, urine, saliva). People become infected mainly through inhalation of aerosolized rodent excreta.
What can be done to reduce the risk of Hantavirus syndrome?
The best way to ward off infection is to eliminate contact with potentially infected rodents and the surroundings that might be contaminated with rodent excreta.
