Filcom leader, may babala sa bagong online scam

Posted on 27 March 2023 No comments

 

Si Mercy at kanyang grupo ay regular na nagbibigay ng dugo sa Red Cross

“Muntik na akong ma scam kahapon…because of trust.”

Ito ang bungad ni Mercy Permales, lider ng United Philippine Taekwondo Organization Hong  Kong (Upto HK) at Lady Drivers Organization Hong Kong, nang ilahad ang naging karanasan niya sa pakikipag chat sa isang nagpapanggap na kakilala niya noong nakaraang Martes, Mar 21.

Una ay kinuha ng ka-chat ang kanyang telephone number gamit ang Facebook account ni Zachery Wong, isang driving instructor na laging naiimbitahan na magbigay ng pagsasanay sa mga Pilipino na gustong makakuha ng lisensiya sa pagmamaneho sa Hong Kong.

Ayon sa ka chat niya ay isasali siya sa isang raffle ng HKTV mall, pero kailangang ibigay niya ang telephone number nya para maipasok sa palaro. Pagkabigay ni Mercy sa kanyang numero ay may nag text sa kanya ng 6-digit code na galing diumano sa Google.

Hiningi ng kanyang ka-chat ang code, at kunyari ay chineck kung may napanalunan siya sa raffle base sa numerong ipinasa sa kanya.

Ang parte ng chat kung saan sinabihan si Mercy na nanalo siya ng $2k

Agad-agad ay nag “Wowww” ang kausap at sinabing nanalo siya ng $2,000 sa raffle ng HKTV Mall. Kaya lang, ayon dito, ay kailangang ipadala ang napanalunan ni Mercy sa kanyang credit card.

Sagot naman ni Mercy ay hindi niya makita ang kanyang Visa card na hindi naman niya nagagamit, kaya ang bank card na lang niya sa PNB ang ipinakita.


PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

“A Hong Kong card is required for transfer,” ang parang nalulungkot na sabi ng kausap.

Sagot naman ni Mercy, “Oh I see. I cannot find my Visa card. Maybe just give it to someone else Mr Wong. To President Mayette Cortez (of Road HK).”

Hindi ito pinansin ng kausap, at sa halip ay inulit ang “Did you find your Visa card?”

Noon na nag-isip si Mercy na mag check, at nalaman niya sa kapwa lider ng mga driver na si Mayette na na-hack ang account ni Wong.

Para makasiguro ay nag check din si Mercy sa internet at nalaman niya na walang instant raffle draw na isinasagawa ang HKTV Mall.

“I did search…sa HKTV Mall web, at wala nga silang promo na ganyan. Kaya ni report ko sa FB para hindi na rin maka pang biktima. Kawawa naman mga kabanayan natin kung ma bibiktima,” sabi ni Mercy.

Dagdag pa ni Mercy sinadya niyang hindi ibinigay ang mga impormasyon sa kanyang Visa card na wala naman daw laman.

Pero ang payo sa kanya ng mga kaibigan, hindi importante kung walang laman ang kanyang credit card dahil siguradong  gagamitin ito ng hacker para ipamili, at ang lahat ng mga iyon ay sa kanya sisingilin.

Naka block na daw sa kanya ngayon ang hacked FB account ni Wong, at dahil sa nangyari ay mag-iisip daw muna siya nang matagal bago kagatin ang ano mang alok ng mga ka chat, lalo kung may kinalaman ito sa pera.

‘Help the Mission help more migrant workers’

Posted on No comments

 By Daisy CL Mandap

Indonesian worker-activist Eni Lestari shares how the Mission helped empower her 

Through the years, the Mission for Migrant Workers has done more than just give legal advice and shelter to distressed foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong; it has also helped empower them so they could help others in turn.

This was what renowned Indonesian worker-activist Eni Lestari said in a testimony she gave at the 42nd anniversary celebration of the Mission on Mar 19, at St John’s Cathedral in Central.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE!

Lestari, a former Mission client herself, spoke of how her life was transformed after she started working as a volunteer for the church-based group while pursuing an abuse case she filed against her former employer.

“Through the Mission I realized I have the power to change, not just myself - I won my case because of the Mission - but I also used that knowledge to reach out to my fellow Indonesian workers (and tell them), ‘You can change your life, but you have to learn your rights.’," said Lestari.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

It was with the Mission’s help that Indonesian migrant workers in Hong Kong became organized, added Lestari, who now chairs the International Migrants Alliance, and was once invited to address the United Nations Summit on Refugees and Migrants.

She called for continued support for the Mission so it could continue to help and empower, and treat migrant workers as partners in ensuring the rights of all migrants in Hong Kong are protected.

Cynthia Tellez and Fr Dwight dela Torre thank Mission's supporters and partners

In her welcome speech, the Mission’s general manager Cynthia Tellez said it was a good time to celebrate the non-government organizations she helped found 42 years ago.

“(But) the celebration of anniversaries matters when significant events happen. The beginning of the end of the Covid season makes it an event worth celebrating,” she said.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

It was during the three-year pandemic that the Mission once again proved its capacity and willingness to go the extra mile for the community it serves.

Told of the growing number of FDWs being thrown out of their employers’ homes or boarding houses after they contracted Covid, the Mission, along with its shelter, the Bethune House Migrant Women’s Refuge, went on high alert to look for a place to stay for the abandoned workers, and had food sent to them on a regular basis.

At the same time, the Mission worked with various migrant support organizations to press the Hong Kong government to give more help and support to workers afflicted with Covid, and protect them from discrimination.

Tellez said the event also gave the Mission the chance to recognize and honor all those who have helped them through the years, from the staff and board members and those on their advisory board, to donors and the migrant workers.

She also made special mention of “kind-hearted employers” who were recipients of the Mission’s Happy Homes Awards.

“You and your families are beacons of hope that sections of Hong Kong society are moving in the right direction or nurturing respect and harmony,” she said. “Thank you for showing the way for many Hong Kong households.”

Also among those who spoke and extended well wishes to the Mission were Daniel Feldman, chairperson of its Advisory Board and Colin Cohen, senior partner at Boase, Cohen and Collins, the solicitors’ firm which has worked with the Mission on a number of landmark court cases, including the challenge to the 14-day rule for terminated FDWs.

Petition signing against job-hopping charge to be launched tomorrow

Posted on 25 March 2023 No comments

 

Migrant groups held a protest a day before the job-hopping charge was tabled at Legco 

A signature campaign against allegations of job-hopping being leveled at foreign domestic workers who terminate their contracts will be launched on Sunday, Mar 26, on Chater Road in Central starting at 3pm.

The campaign comes in the wake of the tabling of a proposal at the Legislative Council to mandate employment agencies to warn FDWs against job-hopping, in the process legitimizing a claim that migrant workers purposely terminate their contracts in search of higher pay or easier workload.

Agencies will also be obliged to speak with employers about refunding recruitment fees, or replacing the worker who quit her job before the two-year expiration of the contract.

Workers and agencies are both opposed to the proposal, for varying reasons.

Foremost among the FDWs’ arguments is that there is no such thing as job-hopping because a worker will only terminate the contract if he or she is not treated well, and is pushed to the limit. This is because like their employers, they also spent a substantial amount to secure their job in Hong Kong.

They also argue that moving to another employer is within their rights, and should thus not be considered illegal.

Employers agree to this, even pointing out that the Basic Law allows all residents in Hong Kong the right to choose who to work for.

The Labour proposal, which was submitted to the Legco manpower panel for discussion on Mar 21, is set to undergo eight weeks of consultations with various interest groups.

Gigising sa malamig at maulan na Linggo ang Hong Kong bukas dahil sa parating na cold front galing sa norte, ayon sa Hong Kong Observatory.

Kasama ng Northeast Monsoon, magdadala ito ng maulap na papawirin at panaka-nakang pag-ulan lalo na sa umaga. Itinatayang babagsak muli sa 18-19 degrees Celsius ang temperature sa bandang ika-7 ng umaga.

Bandang tanghali kanina ay itinaas ang amber o yellow rainstorm warning dahil sa biglang pagbuhos ng ulan matapos mabalot ang paligid ng kadiliman.

Kinumpirma din ng HK Observatory ang balita na umulan ng hailstones sa Shatin at Sai Wan Ho bandang alas tres ng hapon. Huling nakita sa Hong Kong ang hail nong Setyembre ng 2021.
