Filipino workers in Taiwan seeking better rights after Duterte's win

Taipei, May 11 (CNA) Filipino workers in Taiwan are calling on Philippines President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to seek justice and better rights for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), after he claimed victory in his country's election on Tuesday.

"As OFWs, we don't have any protection abroad. The previous presidents in the Philippines did not care about the migrant workers, OFW situation or victims of illegal human trafficking," Gilda Banugan, chairperson of Migrante International's Taiwan Chapter told CNA by telephone on Wednesday.

Banugan said her organization, which is allied with OFWs in Taiwan, is drafting a statement to send to Migrante International headquarters with the hope that it will inform the president-elect's decisions on policies to improve the lives of the approximately 124,000 Filipino workers in Taiwan.

The priority is to prosecute brokers and recruitment agencies that violate the law by requesting illegal placement fees and to ensure that workers are employed through a direct hiring service, said Banugan, a Filipino caretaker who has been working in Taiwan for two years.

Meriam Devalgue Hsu, a Filipino-Taiwanese social worker with the Taiwan International Workers' Association, said she hopes Duterte will help reduce the placement fees for overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan when he takes office.

"All recruitment agencies are collecting excessive amounts of brokerage fees," even though Philippine law stipulates that there should be no brokerage fees for migrant fishermen and caretakers, and that the fees for migrant factory workers should not exceed one month's salary, said Devalgue Hsu, whose agency works to improve working conditions and the social environment for migrant workers in Taiwan.

Maricel Dadivas, a 36-year-old Filipino caretaker, told CNA that when she first came to Taiwan four years ago, she paid her agency and broker a placement fee of NT$146,000 (US$4,486), the equivalent of nine months' salary, even though she should not have had to pay those fees.

"I would like to tell our new president he must take immediate action and investigate these under-the-table brokers' fees," Dadivas said.

"We are serving our country. We are serving Filipinos. We contribute a lot as OFWs," she said. "We hope for changes and we need changes as Filipinos."

The issue of placement fees was also mentioned on social media, with Facebook users such as Les Lor Enz expressing the hope that after Duterte takes office, "there will be no or low (one month's salary) placement fees for OFWs here in Taiwan."

Even though a direct hiring service is available for migrant workers in Taiwan, most workers still go to brokers because many Taiwanese employers do not use the direct hiring service for recruitment, Banugan said.

Foreign domestic helpers and caregivers in Taiwan also do not have time off to process the required paperwork for the direct hiring service, she said, urging the Taiwanese government to allow domestic workers the mandatory number of days off.

In addition to high placement fees, there is also a problem of employer abuse of migrant workers, according to Banugan and Dadivas. Migrant workers suffer frequent abuse in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Dadivas said.

"We hope that there will be justice for all migrant workers, not only migrant workers here in Taiwan," she said.

If the Philippines economy could be improved, many Filipinos would no longer have to leave their families and country to find work, Dadivas and Banugan said.

"We hope that he (Duterte) can create more jobs and higher salaries in the Philippines so the Filipino people won't need to go abroad," Banugan said.

Banugan, who is from Mindanao Island, said she has high hopes for Duterte as she thinks he has "good leadership" skills, judging from his performance as a long-term mayor of Davao City in Mindanao.

Devalgue Hsu said Duterte is known to have been a good mayor who was tough on crime so there is hope that he would help improve the rights of overseas Filipino workers.

A former prosecutor, Duterte is known for his heavy-handed tactics in dealing with crime. He has been criticized for his incendiary remarks on drugs, rape and crime, and for his alleged human rights violations, but his supporters in Taiwan said they have faith in him.

"Duterte may have a 'dirty mouth' but we Filipinos believe that he will give us a clean government. When he speaks, he gets things done," Facebook user Frances Joan Clavecillas wrote.

Maids pay a high placement fee for limited jobs that provide them with an income far higher than what they can earn back home. It's a fixed investment costs. If they don't want to pay, there's many other Pinoys that would gladly pay.

If pinoy wont do it. Glasaloot lewders would gladly do it for free.

I have grassroots friends who run maid agencies. They are collecting placement fees and offering jobs to otherwise jobless, desperate Pinoys. Cheap workers should know their rightful place in life and be grateful for the scraps we throw to them.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flor_Contemplacion


Flor R. Contemplacion (January 7, 1953 – March 17, 1995) was a Filipino domestic worker executed in Singapore for murder. Her execution severely strained relations between Singapore and the Philippines, and caused many Filipinos to vent their frustrations over the plight of Overseas Filipino Workers towards both states' governments.


Although President Ramos seemed initially resigned to the execution, he called Contemplacion a heroine. His wife, First Lady Amelita Ramos, came to receive Contemplacion's coffin at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila. President Ramos sent a wreath to Contemplacion's wake and offered financial assistance to Contemplacion's children, who were dependent on their mother's income as a domestic worker. The Alex Boncayao Brigade, a Filipino terrorist group, threatened to punish Singaporean and Filipino officials, while prelates of the local Catholic Church also condemned the execution.

There were several protests held across the Philippines over Contemplacion's execution, some of which were organized by politicians and labor organizations. In one of the protests, the mayor of Davao City, Rodrigo Duterte, burned a flag of Singapore while leading 1,000 employees of Davao City in protest.[2][3]

When Contemplacion and Maga's bodies were repatriated to the Philippines, autopsies revealed that Maga has a fractured skull and her throat was almost crushed due to the force inflicted in it. Further investigations revealed that a woman will not be able to exert that much force.

Many Filipinos believed that Contemplacion was innocent or at least insane, blaming the Singaporean government for a lack of compassion, and the Philippine government for not doing enough to stop the execution. The Philippine Embassy in Singapore in particular was criticised since it did not even have a consular representative as an observer in court throughout the trial.

Bilateral relations between Singapore and the Philippines soured for several years after the execution. President Ramos recalled the Filipino ambassador to Singapore, and many bilateral exchanges between the countries were cancelled.

Contemplacion, regardless of her innocence or guilt, became an icon for the allegedly inhumane, abusive, and exploitative working conditions that many Filipino domestic workers and labourers face abroad. Public anger in the Philippines continued with the similar case of Sarah Balabagan in the United Arab Emirates several months later; Balabagan's life was ultimately spared.

work in other countries and yet want to trade under Pinoy land conditions?

Pinoys are behaving like the British empire monarchy trading illegal drug opium in China and yet want Chinese to legalize opium so British (and Pinoy) trading under their unequal trading conditions.

Pinoys think they are like British empire have gunboats to attack other nations if China refuse to agree with thier unequal trading treaties?

Pinoy got gunboats or not that they can use gunboat diplomacy to force Tawian to comply?


This British against China opium trading is interesting to use as example of gunboat diplomacy to force other nation to comply, even to the extent of illegal trading in drug with other countries in other nation land?

Fuck the British again for providing bad example to lead in gunboat diplomacy.

This century are we talking about A-bomb and missle diplomacy?

The Middle East has their gunboat diplomacy used on them by the USA?

Reading recommendation: http://www.wsj.com/articles/book-review-the-opium-war-by-julia-lovell-1409339298


http://www.amazon.com/The-Opium-War-Dreams-Making/dp/0330457470



this book will show you how to trade illegal substance drug on other nations soils follow the evil British empire evil ways. Angmoh are the best in gunboat diplomacy to force other nations to trade with them illegal substance in drug. How else?



'Is the War with China a Just One?" asked a London pamphlet in 1840 during the opening of the Opium War. The author's answer was: Yes. The louder response, however, echoed on both sides for most of the past 170-plus years, has been No, it most certainly was not.
In 1839, China cracked down on the illegal opium trade at Canton (now Guangzhou), which was dominated by private British merchants who smuggled the drug in huge quantities from India. An imperial commissioner confiscated and destroyed British-owned stocks of the drug worth millions of pounds. In response, London sent a fleet of modern warships to hammer the unprepared Chinese into submission and force them, at the war's end in 1842, to pay for the opium and give up Hong Kong, among many other concessions.

William Napier, a gunboat diplomat sent to China by the British (clown) King.

Britain first official resident posting in China. A new superintentent, William Napier, has a simple solution is to blast China into submission using gunboat diplomacy.

This dictator ranted:
"The British must use force, not meance it. There will come a time to bring upon them the chastisement of Great Britain, when every point may be gained with the greatest ease and secured for all time to come.
What a glorious thing it would be to have a blockading squadron on the Coast of the Celestial Empire. How easily a gun brigade would raise a revoution and cause them to open their port to the trading world. I should like to be the medium of such change".
