Join the Messiest Cubicle Contest by Contest Factory

2012-01-11T23:00:00.001-08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

A clean and organized office cubicle has a great potential to make anyone drop the lazy mode and move to get some important work done. On the other hand, a messy and hideous cubicle (filled with scratch and clean papers, pens, stains from countless coffee breaks, crumbs from snacks, a bulletin board full of reminders and other office supplies like scissors, staplers, punchers scattered everywhere) is a sure sign that a great work is being or has been done. If a messy cubicle is a sign of a finished work, or an accomplished target, then it is probably the reason why it is the theme for Contest Factory’s- Pimp My Cube Contest.

Yes Contest Factory wants to see the worst office cubicles in a video. This contest aims to break the typical boring work spaces and want video entries to feature the worst cubicle catastrophes. But it doesn’t mean that a spotless cubicle is better than the dirty and unorganized one. Contest Factory will declare the worst video of an office cubicle the winner and they will come in to Pimp their cube.

The winner will get to improve his cube by choosing one of the three prize packages:

· New high end computer system

· New Desk, Chair and Decorations

· New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

The value of the package is more or less USD1200. The contest is open to bloggers who are: business-oriented, marketing-focused, tech-related, finance-specific and male-centric.

To increase chances of wining, participants in the video contests should invite their friends, family members and colleagues to vote for them. There is no entry yet, so there is a big chance to win.

The contest period will run until 12pm of January 31, 2012.

To know more about this contest and to join, visit the the PMC site now, register and submit a video entry!

New MOU May Reopen Saudi to Filipino Household Service Workers

2012-01-11T22:06:00.001-08:00

According to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Undersecretary, Danilo Cruz Saudi Arabia may hire Filipino household service workers (HSWs) again. This would be possible after the signing of the new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between

Saudi Arabia

and the

Philippines

Cruz said, "We will immediately sign an MOU and agree on a model employment contract that will be implemented in Saudi Arabia."

Saudi Arabia

suspended the processing, verification and authentication of deployment contracts of Filipino HSWs when the Philippine government set a USD400/month minimum salary for HSWs.

The Undersecretary said, "From all indications, Saudi Arabia will allow now the verification of the employment contract of household workers which will automatically lift the restriction na inimpose nila and we can soon deploy HSWs there."

Rosalida Baldoz, DOLE chief said that OFWs will gain more protection in the new contract.

The DOLE chief said, "We saw to it that the provisions or the rights and principles in the convention are also reflected on the standard employment contract."

DFA: Alert Level 3 and Deployment Ban of OFWs to Sudan

2012-01-10T23:17:00.001-08:00

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) raised the crisis alert level in Sudan to 3 because of the worsening security situation there. Alert level 3 calls for an OFW deployment ban and voluntary repatriation. According to the DFA, they would assist and give repatriation funds to OFWs in Sudan who want to go home.

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said, "For prudence's sake, we have raised crisis alert level 3 in South Sudan in light of escalating violence in the capital where most of our nationals are located. We are ready to move our people out, should they wish to leave."

According to the statement, "The DFA has instructed the Philippine Embassy in Cairo, which has jurisdiction over South Sudan, to implement the voluntary repatriation program."

DOLE Reminder: Do not Go to Syria

2012-01-04T18:21:00.003-08:00

The secretary of Labor, Rosalinda Baldoz reported that illegal overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) continue to arrive in

Syria

even if there is an existing deployment ban and mandatory repatriation.

The DFA raised the crisis alert level to

Syria

from 3 to 4 which calls for mandatory repatriation. The Labor Secretary discourages OFWs from going to

Syria

despite the ban.

Recruitment of workers for Syria is illegal today because they can only hold a tourist visa. Baldoz informed that the salary of household workers in Syria is only USD125 and it is not worth the dangers they are risking by going to

Syria

The secretary encourages OFWs to stay/return to the

Philippines

as the government has livelihood and entrepreneurship programs that can help them start small businesses.

Taiwan’s Online Hiring System Gets POEA’s Support

2012-01-04T18:21:00.001-08:00

Taiwan

is expected to implement the International Direct e-Recruitment System (IDeS), a new hiring policy for foreign workers developed by the Council of Labor Affairs of Taiwan this January. And the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) said that they are supporting the planned implementation.

The online recruitment system for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who wants to work in Taiwan is in final review of the POEA Governing Board. Former POEA Chief, Carlos Cao Jr. said that the new system would make deployment of OFWs to

Taiwan

easier as the services of brokers would no longer be necessary.

Cao said, "The system will be a great relief for the workers since they will no longer pay brokers fee and monthly services over a period of three (3) years, thus, will redound to significant reduction of recruitment costs to them, including the employers."

Though the IDeS would still require the workers to shoulder documentation and visa fees, they no longer need to worry about broker's fees.

Under the new hiring system (IDeS), there will be an online portal where valid employers can access the resumes of applicants. The system is designed to match foreign workers to a job position that fits their qualifications and work experiences. It is reported that Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia will also implement the IDeS soon.

POEA: Australia Needs More Nurses and Other Skilled Workers

2012-01-03T23:46:00.001-08:00

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) is hoping that more overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) would be deployed in Australia this 2012, saying that the land down under is one of the least explored frontiers of Filipino professionals and other skilled workers.

Former POEA chief, Carlos Cao, Jr. advised OFWs especially Filipino nurses, construction and mining workers. to seek for employment opportunities in Australia because of the shortage of workers there.

Filipino nurses and construction-related workers are in demand in

Australia. In fact data from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) indicates that

Australia

would need 40,000 nurses until 2015.

The

construction industry of Australia is also booming with expected 750,000 construction projects for the next 20 years.

POEA chief, Cao said, "This is now the opportune time to provide viable solutions to the growing number of jobless and under-employed Filipino nurses now already numbering close to 300,000 including the 68,000 who just recently passed the latest nursing board examinations."

"With its mining and construction boom that run short of skilled workers and its healthcare system now with an acute need for registered nurses and other allied professionals, there are tremendous opportunities to widen the gateway for jobs forFilipinos in

Australia

across all industries and across all states and territories," he added.

POEA Has New Chief

2012-01-02T19:18:00.001-08:00

The new chief of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) is Hans Cacdac, replacing former POEA chief, Carlos Cao, Jr. The official turnover was held in a simple ceremony yesterday that was attended by POEA directors and several senior Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) officials. The chief of DOLE Baldoz and Carlos Cao did not attend the said event.

The new POEA chief promised to work with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to create new bilateral agreements that would create job opportunities and protect the welfare of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

Cacdac said, "It is about time we increase the number of our bilateral agreements with other countries to protect the welfare of our OFWs."

He also promised to hasten the processing period of overseas employment certificates (OEC) and to strengthen fight against human trafficking.

The recruitment agencies welcome the appointment of Cacdac and vowed to willingness to work together with POEA so they can deploy more OFWs.

However, some OFW groups expressed sadness over the replacement of Carlos Cao, Jr. as POEA chief. The chair of Migrante International, Garry Martinez, said that Cao is by far the most sincere, open-minded and most accessible POEA chief. Martinez suspects that the reason for the ouster may be politics noting that under Cao's leadership, permits of 300 recruitment agencies were cancelled.

Cao said that he did not receive any official letter from Malacañang and the DOLE to inform him of his removal from the post. Cao said that he has no resentment but only wish to be officially informed so he can step down with dignity. Labor officials though insist they had officially informed Cao that he will only be serving until the end of December.

2011-11-09T18:03:00.001-08:00

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced the temporary postponement of the implementation of the deployment ban in 41 countries. The postponement follows after the DFA withdrew the negative certifications in countries that reportedly failed to comply with the migrant policies that would provide sufficient protection for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) under the amended Migrant Workers Act.

Foreign Affairs Undersecretary, Raul Hernandez said, "This deferment will give us time to revisit the 41 countries so that we can move forward."

The previous news of deployment ban to 41 countries was met with negative criticism and disapproval from various OFW organizations. Even the DFA admitted that the ban could have adverse effects on OFWs.

On the other hand, various sectors that have been requesting the DFA to withdraw the negative certifications expressed approval with the news of deferment.

The DFA plans to hold a dialogue with labor officials of the concerned countries so they can revise the list.

Canada Offers Super Visa to Immigrants

2011-11-08T20:17:00.001-08:00

Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Canada may be happy to know that the Canadian government recently announced a new type of visa for families. The "super visa" is a two-year, multi-entry" super visa" for the parents and grandparents of immigrants in Canada. It will be offered starting December 1.

It was planned after reports that the periods of sponsorship of "family class" applications in Canada took seven years or longer.

Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister, Jason Kenney said, "Without taking action, those times will continue to grow, and that is unacceptable. Action must be taken to cut the backlog, reduce the wait times, and ensure that the parents and grandparents program is sustainable over the long run."

According to reports, the multiple-entry "Parent and Grandparent Super Visa" will have a validity of up to 10 years. Super visa holders would also be allowed to stay in Canada for two years or 24 months before a visa renewal will be required.

POEA; Beware of Job offers in Iraq & Afghanistan

2011-09-28T09:19:00.000-07:00

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) partially lifted the deployment ban in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sadly unscrupulous individuals are taking advantage of this by offering fake jobs to aspiring overseas Filipino workers to these countries.

To help jobseekers, the POEA issued an advisory to remind everyone that any job offers to Iraq and Afghanistan is illegal or nonexistent because the deployment ban is still in place.

According to Carlos Cao Jr., POEA administrator, “Illegal recruiters saying otherwise must not be believed and must be reported to POEA and other law enforcement authorities for legal action."

The POEA chief explained that the partial lifting of the deployment ban in Afghanistan and Iraq is only applicable to overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) with existing contracts inside United States camps and facilities.

“OFWs with existing contracts inside US camps and facilities in the two countries — who will visit the Philippines, will be allowed by POEA to return to those countries,” he explained.

Save Money: Get the Best Cellphone Plan

2011-09-25T07:01:00.001-07:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

What’s your idea of the best cellphone plan? The answers would likely include the following— nationwide coverage, strong signal, unlimited calls, unlimited text, unlimited internet usage, ability to share data and files and of course at an affordable price. Think that sounds too good to be true? Well not really, especially for people living in America because there is Straight Talk. The Android on Straight Talk lets you Call a friend, communicate with your loved ones and stay connected on the web for a very affordable price.

It is appropriate even for those who use the phone almost 24/7 because they offer an “All you Need Plan” that includes 1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts and 30 MB of web data. You can enjoy their unlimited phone plan only for USD45 a month. For a year of this great cellphone plan, one only needs to pay USD499. Take note, even the 411 calls are free. That allows you to save more money which you can use to spend on other things.

Straight Talk also eliminates the hassles of a phone subscription as no contract is involved. We all love the idea of getting the best deals in everything and this is surely no Hook, line and sinker
