Free consultation and treatment for various ailments will be are among the features of the First Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Culture Festival that launched today.

These clinics are among the over 200 promotional activities to be jointly held across Hong Kong until February next year by the Health Bureau (HHB), together with 80 CM sector organizations and community partners 

The festival was kicked off in ceremonies held at the Central Market, led by the acting Secretary for Health, Dr Libby Lee, and the Commissioner for Chinese Medicine Development, Dr Vincent Chung

Dr Lee said, “we have specifically organized the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Culture Festival to enable citizens to get first-hand experience through diverse activities in various forms in these three months, thus enhancing their interest and understanding on wisdom and concepts of CM for fostering CM inheritance and development."

She noted the two advances for CM, namely the opening of the Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong (CMHHK) and release of the Chinese Medicine Development Blueprint at the end of next year.

 “The CM in Hong Kong has been experiencing a steady development over the past two decades or so, with the application of pure traditional CM theories and methods for prevention and treatment of diseases being a distinctive advantage,” she added.

The festival activities also include thematic talks as well as exchange forums, workshops and seminars for members of the public and various sectors. A number of community organisations will also hold experiential activities, such as guided tours led by professional docents to explore herbal plants in the countryside where participants can learn about Chinese herbal medicine while enjoying nature.

To foster the cultural inheritance of CM, the Festival also has in place activities targeting students, such as CM identification workshops and CM planting activities, to cultivate the younger generation's interest in traditional medicine.

Exhibitions and interactive booths are also open at the Central Market today for the public to learn more about the CM culture, which include a CM constitution identification booth, a simulated CM clinic with CM tools and dress-up for photo-taking, information panels on health maintenance during winter and the CMHHK model exhibition and games. CM thematic talks covering topics such as globalisation of CM, the role of CM in primary healthcare, CM and mental health, interesting science of CM as well as experience of free CM consultations in different regions are also arranged for members of the public and various sectors.

According to the schedule released by organizers (https://www.hkcmfest.gov.hk/en/about), some of these consultations will be open to all while others will be aimed at specific sectors, such as the elderly or residents of the communities where the clinics will be held.

She took the top prize after going through three phases of the event: opening production number, talent (singing and dancing where the girls performed as two groups), and swimsuit competition, which included the question and answer portion.

Emerging as the pageant’s 1st runner up was Melissa "Mels" Sabico Ablao (Candidate #11) and 2nd runner up was  Rexcel "Butterfly" Rolan De Jesus (Candidate #3).

“With all those who participated here, winners or not, they developed their self-confidence, communication skills, poise, character, overcoming shyness and many others. Total makeover is the result when you join this biggest and longest running pageant,” Barkadahan sa SmarTone said.

Featured in the program was the internet influencer DJ Loonyo, who sang and performed some of the dance moves that made him a TikTok star. He was supported by a host of local Filipino talents, cheered on by a crowd made up of Barkadahan subscribers.

Aktibistang OFW, yumao matapos atakihin sa puso

Posted on 08 December 2022 No comments

Ng The SUN

 

Si Lilybeth ay aktibong miyembro ng Unifil-Migrante HK

Nagluluksa ang kilusang migrante sa Hong Kong dahil sa pagkamatay kahapon, Miyerkules, ng isa sa kanilang aktibong miyembro na si Lilibeth Perez Mulat sanhi ng atake sa puso.

Tamang tama lang na nakarating sa Hong Kong ang anak nitong si Princess bago idineklarang  wala ng buhay si Lilibeth na ilang araw na rin nakaratay nang walang malay sa Ruttonjee Hospital sa Wanchai.

Ayon kay Esther Bangcawayan ng Bethune House Migrant Women’s Refuge kung saan isang volunteer si Lilibeth ay nahilo lang daw ito habang naglalakad sa may  Wanchai Market noong Biyernes, Dec. 2, at agad na itinakbo sa ospital pero hindi na nagkamalay.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Katatapos lang niyang maoperahan sa Pamela Youde Eastern Hospital sa Chai Wan para sa kanyang varicose veins at naka sick leave pa hanggang Dec 5 nang atakihin siya.

Base sa mismong post ni Lilibeth sa Facebook noong Nov. 30 ay tagumpay ang kanyang operasyon at nagpapagaling na lang siya.

Pero sa sulat ng doktor na tumingin sa kanya sa Ruttonjee ay kritikal na ang kundisyon nito dahil sa atake sa puso, at iminungkahi ang dagliang pagbisita ng kanyang pamilya para makita siya sa huling sandal.

“She has suffered from a cardiac arrest secondary to massive pulmonary embolism. Her condition is complicated with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, and she is in critical condition,” sabi ni Dr Anthony Yu.

“We suggest for her family members to visit her as soon as possible due to her grave prognosis.”

Agad namang naghanda sa kanyang pag-alis si Princess mula sa kanilang bahay sa Quezon nguni’t nabalam nang ilang araw dahil sinubukan munang nagpunta sa opisina ng Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) sa Maynila para humingi ng tulong.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Nabigo si Princess sa kanyang pakay dahil imbes tulungan agad ay sinabihan daw ito sa OWWA na sa Senado pumunta para mapabilis ang pag-asikaso sa kanyang hiling.

Agad namang sumulat si Bangcawayan sa OWWA sa Hong Kong para idaan sa kanila ang hiling ng pamilya ni Lilybeth at makiusap na rin na dalawin nila ang maysakit sa ospital “para malaman ang kanyang kundisyon at matulungan siya at kanyang pamilya.”

Pero ilang oras lang matapos ito ay nabalitaan nilang pumanaw na si Lilybeth, at si Princess ay nakarating sa Hong Kong para makita siya sa huling pagkakataon.

Paglalakad ang isa sa mga paboritong ginagawa ni Lilybeth sa araw ng pahinga

Agad na nagpahayag ng pagkalungkot ang mga grupong kaanib ng United Filipinos in Hong Kong, kung saan naging aktibong miyembro si Lilybeth.

Kamakailan lang ay umani ito ng papuri nang may sunduin itong isang migranteng na-terminate sa gitna ng bagyo, at hinatid ito sa Bethune House.

“Safe na si kabayan. Kahit bago walang makakapigil sa aking pagtulong,” sabi ni Lilybeth sa kanyang Facebook post, na nilakipan pa niya ng dalawang litrato ng kababayan na tinulungan niya.

Press for details

Ang kanyang kabaitan at determinasyon na ipaglaban ang mga karapatan ng kapwa migrante ay binigyang puri ng ilang mga kaibigan bilang pagtanaw sa kanyang naging buhay dito sa Hong Kong.

“Isa na namang kasama sa kilusang migrante ang naging bayani kanina,” sabi ni Eman Villanueva, chairperson ng Bayan Hong Kong at Macau, at secretary general ng Unifil.

“Si kasamang Beth ay nanindigan para sa kapakanan ng mga migrante at sambayanan. Naglaan ng kanyang panahon para paglingkuran ang kapwa-OFW," dagdag niya.

BASAHIN ANG DETALYE

“Igawad natin ang pinakamataas na pagpupugay kay kasamang Beth. Isang migranteng manggagawa, aktibistang pangkultura, naglingkod sa masang migrante hanggang sa kahulihulihan.”

Inalala naman ni Janette Carnay na “hindi madamot” sa pagtulong Lilybeth sa kanilang ka-miyembro sa Unifil, lalo na sa pagbabahagi ng kanyang husay sa pagsasayaw at pagtulong sa mga gawain ng grupo.

Inulila ni Lilybeth ang kanyang asawa at tatlong anak na babae.

Ayon kay Jacklyn, natutunan nya ang istilong ito dahil sa sitwasyon ng kanyang trabaho lalo na noong kasagsagan ng pandemya. Laging nasa bahay ang mga amo at kulang ang oras nya sa pagguhit, kaya lagi syang nagmamadali.

Bilang isang ina at malayo sa pamilya ang pagguhit ang naging libangan niya upang maibsan ang kanyang lungkot at kahit pa tuwing araw ng pahinga niya ginagawa nynag produktibo sa pamamagitan ng pag-guhit.

Pinoy nabistong overstayer nang maaresto dahil sa away

Posted on 01 February 2022 No comments

 

West Kowloon Magistracy

Isang Pilipino ang nakulong matapos umamin sa West Kowloon Magistracy na nag-overstay siya sa Hong Kong nang mahigit dalawang taon.

Umamin si Jerome C. Yumul, 51, ng "Breach of condition of stay - overstay" sa harap ni Magistrate Colin Wong Sze-Cheung Noong Jan. 31 matapos basahan ng kaso na isinalin sa Tagalog ng isang interpreter.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Ayon sa salaysay laban sa kanya, inaresto si Yumul noong Jan. 11 matapos masangkot sa isang away sa tabi ng Shek Kip Mei MTR Station. 

Sa Sham Shui Po police station kung saan siya dinala, itinawag ng pulis na nag-imbestiga sa kaso ang kanyang Hong Kong ID sa Immigraton Department at nalaman ditong ilegal na siyang naglalagi sa Hong Kong simula pa noong November 2019.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Dumating si Yumul sa Hong Kong noong 2017 bilang domestic helper. Tatlong buwan lang ang itinagal niya sa employer nang materminate siya.

Nakakuha siya ng ilang visa extension mula sa sa Immigration Department dahil kinasuhan niya ang kanyang employer at dinidinig pa ito. Ang huli niyang extension ay noong Oct. 8, 2019.

CONTACT US!

Ayon sa salaysay, tumigil sa pagkuha ng visa extension si Yumul dahil nawala daw niya ang kanyang passport. Nang matapos ang huling visa na iginawad sa kanya ay naging ilegal na ang paglagi niya sa Hong Kong.

Ayon sa abugado ni Yumul, hindi daw nito naasikaso ang pagkuha ng visa para manatiling legal ang pagtigil nya sa Hong Kong dahil napaalis siya sa bahay na kanyang tinitirhan at nawala ang kanyang passport.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Dahil dito, napabayaan na rin niya ang kanyang kaso sa Labour Tribunal, na dahilan ng pagbibigay sa kanya ng visa extension.

Hiningi rin ng abugado na huwag nang ikulong si Yumul.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Pero ayon sa hukom, hindi wasto na walang parusang kulong sa ganitong paglabag ng Immigration Ordinance, na nagtatakda ng parusang pagkakakulong ng hanggang dalawang taon at multang $50,000.

Ibinaba na lang ni Magistrate Wong ang parusa sa anim na linggo.

Polo moves back to United Centre this Sunday

Posted on 11 September 2020 No comments

By The SUN

ConGen Tejada and Labatt Dizon cut the ribbon to open the new Polo office 

Filipino migrant workers with transactions at the Consulate and its attached labor office will be doing their business in just one building, the United Centre in Admiralty, once again starting this Sunday, Sept 13.

This is due to the relocation of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office to the 29th floor Office B of the same building where the Consulate owns and occupies the entire 14th floor.

The new Polo premises were inaugurated yesterday afternoon, Sept 10 by Consul General Raly L. Tejada and Labor Attaché Melchor B. Dizon in a short ribbon-cutting and blessing ceremony attended by their officers and staff. Fr Jun Jacobe administered the religious rite.

ConGen Tejada welcomed Polo’s return to United Centre in a message on the Consulate’s Facebook page.

“This enables the PCG and its attached offices to continue delivering efficient services while providing greater convenience for all Filipinos living and working in the territory,” he said.

“This represents the Philippine government’s commitment to meet the increasing demand and expectations of the Filipino community which is now the largest ethnic minority in Hong Kong.”

Call us!

As of July 31 this year, there were nearly 210,000 Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong, the main users of the two offices’ services.

Polo’s return to United Centre makes it convenient for workers to do business with both government agencies as they no longer have to walk several blocks to and from either office when processing their papers.

Consulate & Polo staff bow heads in prayer during the office blessing

Filipino workers immediately welcomed the move.

“Salamat naman po mga beloved Sirs and Madams. At least yong mga tulad naming tumatakas sa amo eh di na pahanap-hanap pa kung saan ba ito, saan ba yan. At least iisa na. Congrats po at mabuhay kayong lahat,” said Minda Capacap in her comment on Facebook.

POLO moved out of the United Centre offices it shared with the PCG and into the 11th and 16th floors of the Admiralty Centre Tower 1 on Mar 1, 2015.

Tunghayan ang isa na namang kwentong Dream Love

But after the building management there raised the rent, then Labor Attache Jalilo dela Torre decided to move the Polo offices to the 16 and 18th floors of Mass Mutual Tower, now YF Life Tower, on Lockhart Road in Wanchai.
