January 24, 2013   Tasio Espiritu   No comments

Ito si joseph bago ang aksidente

Si Joseph Peruda ay  isang  OFW na taga- Bislig, Surigao del Sur.  Dumating siya sa Saudi Arabia noong Sept. 22, 2005 at nagtrabaho bilang Loader Operator sa  Abdul Ali Al Ajmi Co. Ltd. Al Ahsa Hofof, KSA.

Ang  kanyang kontrata ay dalawang (2)  taon lamang pero pinili niya na hindi umuwi at  mag-extend pa ng dalawang taon  dahil kailangan nya pang kumita para sa kanyang pamilya.  Si Joseph ay may asawa  at mayroon silang tatlong anak ( isang grade 5, isang grade 2 at isang kinder).

Oct. 16, 2008 nang maaksidente si Joseph sa oras ng trabaho.  Sumabog ang “gas tank” ng kanyang loader at tumalsik ang takip ng tangke sa kanyang mukha.

Ito ay hango sa totoong buhay ng isang kababayan na inilapit ni kapitbahay niya sa akin na nailapit ko sa Patnubay at nakarating naman sa embahada ng Pilipinas sa UAE. Pagkatapos ng tatlong linggong naging babaeng bayaran sa UAE, si Kabayan ay nasa Pilipinas na at kasama ang kanyang asawa at anak.

POKPOK AKO SA UAE

Ako si Erma, 22 years old, may asawa at isang anak.

Tulad ng karamihan, nangarap din akong gumanda ang buhay namin ng pamilya ko. Kahit anong sikap namin ng aking asawa, kulang pa rin dahil hindi naman kaming dalawa nakatapos ng pag-aaral. Kung mayroon man kaming matinong trabaho, kulang pa rin sa pangangailangan namin.

The true leaders’ missions for the country – Atty JBJ

January 17, 2013   Patnubay Manila   No comments

Source: DIRECT FROM THE LABOR FRONT By Atty Josephus Jimenez

The first mission of a true leader is to search, jointly with the people, for A COMMON VISION, a nation’s or an organization’s common aspiration, one that embodies the dreams, the desired situation, the long-range goals of the people. The leader must be able to articulate in few and simple words what the people wish fervently in their hearts and minds. He must not impose on the people what he personally wants. Rather, he must guide them in expressing their own genuine definition of the future that they choose to create for themselves and for their posterity. Moses was such a leader.

The second mission of a leader is to UNITE THE PEOPLE and in the pursuit of the common vision. This vision must be taught by him and his trusted co-teachers to all the people. The common vision should transcend all barriers, break all boundaries of social and economic status and political colors and ideological leanings. Uniting the people means that the leader must be able to create a unifying message of hope, a reassuring atmosphere, where the strong shall not oppress the weak, and the weak shall not rebel against the strong. Jesus Christ was such a leader.

Why many companies lost labor cases in 2012 – Atty JBJ

January 14, 2013   Patnubay Online   No comments

Source: DIRECT FROM THE LABOR FRONT By Atty Josephus Jimenez

Despite the tremendous advantages being enjoyed by employers, despite being defended by giant law firms that bill them in millions, and notwithstanding the fact that their HR executives and managers are topnotch and well-paid, companies are still losing their cases before the labor tribunals and courts. They were served adverse decisions and writ of executions that direct them to pay millions to workers. I have a favorite example involving a global company, manufacturing and selling consumer goods and represented by a very big and influential law firm, that has produced many top officials in government. This company lost a multi-million case to poor contractual workers who were represented only by a low profile lady lawyer, who used to be my law student. The question is why.

Under different circumstances she may have preferred to be somewhere else. However, being the face of the administration in this part, Consul General Hellen Barber-De La Vega had to respond in defense of what admittedly is not among her country’s shining moments — the human rights issue — and at the same time be wary of the sensitivities of her hosts. After all it was a commemoration of a heinous episode of our country’s history where many officials in the government had bloodied hands.

World Teachers’ Day, held annually on October 5th since 1994 – when it was created by UNESCO – celebrates teachers worldwide. Its aim is to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.

Take a Stand for Teachers!
www.unesco.org

“On this day, we call for teachers to receive supportive environments, adequate quality training as well as ‘safeguards’ for teachers’ rights and responsibilities…We expect a lot from teachers – they, in turn, are right to expect as much from us. This World Teachers’ Day is an opportunity for all to take a stand.” – Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General

“Take a stand for teachers!” is the slogan of World Teachers’ Day 2012 (5 October) which UNESCO is celebrating along with its partners, the International Labour Organization,

Ang PATNUBAY ayon kay Ka Romy Carbonell

PATNUBAY
by: Romeo S. Carbonell

Ang buhay ng tao’y sadyang may unos at di maiiwasan ang gusot at takot.
Na ang akala mo ay wala ng patutunguhan sa mga landasin at takbo ng ating buhay
Kapag ikaw ay nag-iisa isip mo ay napapagal na, at hinahanap mo yaring pag asa.
Darating ang panahon na bigla ka lang sasaya na may gumabay sa iyo’y pumatnubay

wag kang susuko sa lahat ng panahon pagkat ang buhay ay puno ng kulay
Isipin mong di ka nagiisa sa laban ng ating buhay, pagkat ang patnubay lagi mong karamay
May pag-asa may patnubay may gabay sa paghusay ng ating buhay…
Wag sayangin ang lakas ng bisig kung sa ibay walang higpit sa patnubay tayo’y kumapit.
