OFWs Told to Report Abusive Employers

LIBEROPIA — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:54:36 +0000

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is looking into the veracity of a report alleging that some Filipino household service workers (HSWs) have been maltreated by their employers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Labor and Employment Secretary Marianito D. Roque said there was no mention of the real name of the HSW cited in the report. However, he instructed Riyadh-based Labor Attache Rustico dela Fuente to determine which particular case the report was referring to.

Roque also took the opportunity to call on overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families to contact the nearest Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) or the DOLE and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) in the Philippines for assistance in all cases of abuse and exploitation that the OFWs may encounter in the hands of their employers onsite.

He asked the OFWs’ families, in case their kin suffer abuses in their jobs abroad, to contact and coordinate with DOLE and OWWA rather than with certain groups which apparently are just using complaints against OFW abuses and exploitation to advance their propaganda and vested interests.

Distressed OFWs onsite must also immediately contact the nearest POLO for assistance, Roque said.

Seeking other groups would only delay assistance as these groups will also refer the cases of distressed OFWs to DOLE and OWWA, he said adding that it will be more beneficial to OFWs and their kin to directly contact the two agencies for needed assistance.

Maynilad Labor Dispute Settled-249 Maynilad Workers to Get Over P46M Economic Package

LIBEROPIA — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:28:04 +0000

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) today said the labor dispute at Maynilad Water Services, Inc. that could have disrupted the flow of water to six million Maynilad customers in Metro Manila and Cavite has been settled amicably benefitting 249 workers who stand to receive a total of P46.608 million in wage increases and other economic benefits.

Labor and Employment Secretary Marianito D. Roque said the disputing labor and management at Maynilad finally agreed to iron out their differences to prevent untoward incidents that would affect water services to millions of Maynilad customers.

Roque cited the two parties for upholding public interests over their own interests. He said the settlement of their dispute exemplifies the maturity of social partners who prioritize the common good over selfish ends, stressing that it underscores the national efforts to foster industrial peace and prevent incidents that would disrupt economic activities and dislocate workers.

He also lauded the National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB) for exhausting all means to settle the Maynilad labor dispute.

The agreement signed both by representatives of labor and management of Maynilad last Feb. 5 provides that each covered worker would receive P1,500 monthly wage increase and P200 monthly rice and meal allowance on the fourth and fifth years.

Government Affirms Amelioration of Disadvantaged Sugar Workers

LIBEROPIA — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 08:42:17 +0000

The government today said that the Sugar Amelioration Program (SAP) under RA 6982 is solely an amelioration and welfare scheme aimed at alleviating the conditions of the country’s close to 700,000 sugar industry workers.

DOLE Acting Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz stressed that the SAP Fund’s purpose remains faithful to the mandate of ensuring the social protection of the sugar workers who are among the most disadvantaged workers in the Philippine countryside today.

Baldoz clarified that the Fund is derived from lien contributions of millers and planters. Sugar workers and their dependents receive benefits from collected lien in the form of cash bonus, socio-economic projects and maternity and death benefits. The DOLE’s role is limited to monitoring, supervision and provision of the benefits to the sugar workers and their dependents.

She emphasized that the DOLE remains firm in its determination that the SAP, as mandated by law, continues to be distributed to ameliorate the disadvantaged sacadas, while continuing its thrusts to seek, and implement improvements that would uplift the sugar workers sector in general.

The acting labor chief said that the SAP law mandates that 80 % of the lien shall be distributed as cash bonus to each worker in the sugar farm or mill based on the proportion of work rendered by him. The remaining 20% is utilized mainly for socio-economic programs encompassing the sugar workers death benefits (5%), maternity benefits (3%) for women sugar workers, socio-economic benefits (9%), and three percent (3%) for administrative expenses.

She said that in ensuring the administration of the SAP, the law, specifically Republic Act No. 6982 of 1991, “An Act Strengthening the Social Amelioration Program in the Sugar Industry, Providing for its Implementation, and for Other Purposes,” had wisely created the National Tripartite Council, or the Sugar Tripartite Council (STC), to ensure effective implementation of the Program in the country’s Sugar Industry.

Even as the economy of Japan is still trying to recover from the global financial crisis, the entry of Filipino candidate-nurses and caregivers continues on its second year of implementation, under the Economic Partnership Agreement between the two countries.

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), which implements this component of the JPEPA, was recently informed by its counterpart agency, the Japan International Corporation of Welfare Services (JICWELS), that there are 162 job vacancies (63 for nurses and 99 for caregivers) from 75 Japanese health and caregiving institutions.

Screening of employers by JICWELS is ongoing to determine the final number of job vacancies. On its part, POEA prepares for notification of qualified applicants for interview by early February 2010. Applicants will be drawn from those who have registered through the online manpower registration system of the POEA, which is accessible at www.poea.gov.ph.
