Zero local covid case in Taiwan led to fewer people getting vaccinated


People who have not yet been vaccinated against COVID-19 should do so as soon as possible said Taiwan Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung, who heads the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

The CECC is watching reports on the Omicron variant closely, especially to see if it would render vaccines less effective and reinfects people who have recovered from the virus.

Chen told the traditional Chinese medicine  forum that Taiwan’s COVID-19 situation is under control, with no new domestic cases reported in several days.

However, this has led to fewer people getting vaccinated in the past few weeks, he added.

Vaccinated people are 10 times less likely to develop severe symptoms or die, urging people who only had their first dose to get their second.

The Omicron variant, which was first reported in southern Africa and is deemed a “variant of concern” by the WHO.

Philippines top envoy to Taiwan hopes to abolish "un-Godly" and "criminal" broker fees


Philippine Representative to Taiwan Wilfredo Fernandez hopes to abolish broker fees, placement fees to overseas Filipino workers (OFW).

OFWs needs to pay an average placement fee  of P60,000 to recruitment agencies. Filipino migrant workers coming to Taiwan have long called for the abolishment of placement fees.

“Sixty thousand pesos could mean one hectare of land in the provinces, so that those who can keep their land will have something they can build on, so that agriculture may flourish. It is only right that you just don’t make exorbitant money on the sweat of the workers. That is ungodly. That’s criminal,” Fernandez said

Fernandez, who took over as chairman and resident representative of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) on Sept. 1, said he would like to remove brokers entirely.

"Remove the recruitment agencies in Manila, so there will be no placement fee. Recruitment should be done on a government-to-government basis," Fernandez added.

Many Taiwanese employers opt to use recruitment agencies because of the convenience they offer.

Meanwhile, current brokerage fees in Taiwan are paid monthly that costs NT$1,800 for the first year of working in Taiwan, NT$1,700 in the second year and NT$1,500 in the final year.

Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) said that it is making every effort to obtain Taiwan's permission for the entry of migrant workers from its country.

"No effort is spared to hasten the reopening of Taiwan's door to Filipino workers," MECO said.

The requirements set by Taiwan's government for the return of Filipino migrant workers have been forwarded to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in Manila, according to MECO.

Its statements came after opening its borders again to Indonesian migrant workers with immediate effect, while negotiations were underway with the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

The requirements include accreditation of COVID-19 testing centers in Manila, several rounds of negative COVID-19 tests prior to employment in Taiwan, and designation of quarantine facilities.

2-year old kid, positibo sa COVID-19 matapos magpunta at mamasyal sa mall


Isang dalawang taong gulang na bata ang nagpositibo sa COVID-19 matapos bumisita sa isang mall ayon sa isang facebook post ng isang doktor.

Narito ang post:
“Just diagnosed a 2-yr old kid positive for COVID-19. Asked if he could’ve been exposed to someone or if they went somewhere. Guess what they did? Went to the mall 3 days ago. Please mag-ingat po tayo.”

Sa ilalim ng alert level 2, pinapayagan ang mga menor de edad sa karamihan ng mga establisyimento tulad ng mga mall at park.

Kasunod ng pagre-relax sa COVID-19 alert level sa Metro Manila at iba pang lugar, bumisita ang mga menor de edad sa mga shopping mall at iba pang mataong lugar habang sinasamahan ang kanilang mga magulang.

“That’s very unfortunate. That’s why we are still reminding everyone to follow the public health protocols and for the parents to discern in bringing their kids to the mall to be careful and only if it’s necessary,” ito naman ang komento ni Interior Secretary Eduardo Año sa ulat.

Narito naman ang paalala ng doktor:

“If it’s just for leisure, if you can avoid going out then iwas na lang talaga, if hindi na maiwasan, sa open areas with lots of social distancing like parks.

If high ang density ng mga tao sa area, do not remove your masks. There are 4 simple things na we can do to prevent having COVID.

Wear your masks. Use soap and water to clean your hands or if unavailable then use 70% alcohol. Maintain social distancing. Get vaccinated.”

South Korea eased restrictions and allowed entry of OFWs, DOLE confirmed


The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) will begin processing to send overseas Filipino workers to neighboring countries in Asia-such as South Korea.

“This is a very good news not only to our EPS (entry permit system) workers and their families, but also to the Korean employers who have been waiting for our workers to return,” said Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Silvetre Bello III.

South Korea’s Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) announced that it will allow the entry into their country of workers under the EPS from various countries, including the Philippines.

Under the South Korea's MOEL directive, the requirement for workers includes full vaccination, and a negative RT-PCR test result. Post-entry measures also include mandatory quarantine and RT-PCR testing.

The Korean embassy in the Philippines is just waiting for the policy from their government for the issuance of E9 visas to Filipino EPS.

This is certainly a good news to the thousands of workers who have been waiting to be able to go abroad since last year.

Human rights groups requesting COMELEC to take down COC of Bongbong Marcos


Civic group of political detainees, human rights and medical organizations asked the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to cancel the Certificate of Candidacy of presodential bet Bongbong Marcos Jr.

Civic leaders arguing Marcos' COC contains "multiple false material representations," including his assertion that he is eligible to seek the presidency.

In the 57-page document submitted, they pointed out that Marcos was convicted in July 1995 by a Quezon City court for his multiple failures to file income tax returns from 1982 to 1985.

The groups stressed out that this crime "involves moral turpitude, thereby disqualifying him under the Omnibus Election Code to be a candidate and to hold any public office."

“Specifically, Marcos falsified his [COC] when he claimed that he was eligible to be a candidate for President of the Philippines in the 2022 national elections when in fact he is disqualified from doing so,” the petitioners said in a statement.

The petitioners are from Task Force Detainees of the Philippines, Kapatid-Families and Friends of Political Prisoners, Medical Action Group Inc., Families of Victims of Involuntary Disappearance, Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates and Balay Rehabilitation Center. (Photo Jerome Ascano)

Ina, niregaluhan ng P1-million at house and lot sa kanyang kaarawan


Laking gulat ni Aling Lolita na magiging milyonarya siya sa kanyang ika-67 kaarawan nito, bukod dito ay nakatangap din ng house and lot. Ang mga regalong ito ay mula sa kanyang anak na si Lou.

Pinaglaro muna ng kanyang anak si Aling Lolita kung PHP100,000 o silip sa kuwarto. Walang kamalay-malay ang nanay kung ano ang nasa loob ng kuwarto.

Dahil sinabi ng kanyang anak na si Lou na magtiwala sa kanya, pinili ng ginang ang silip sa kwarto na may lamang tig-iisang libo at ilang tig-limang daang pisong pera, sa kabuuan: P1,000,000.

“Pagdating ko sa kuwarto, hindi ko inasahan na nakalatag doon ang pera sa kama. Ngayon pa talaga ako nakahawak ng pera na one million," lagad ng ginang sa KMJS.

Maliban sa P1million, pinakita na rin sa kanya ang blueprint ng isang house and lot na kasalukuyang pinapatayo para sa ina.

Hindi laki sa yaman ang pamilya, sadyang nagsumikap lamang si Lou para maibigay ang mga ito sa kanyang ina.

“I want to inspire everybody na ang pera ay [kikitain] lang po, pero ang kaligayahan ng isang ina hindi mo iyan masisuklian kahit ano pong bagay," saad ni Lou.
