Christmas is in the air, and Pintura Circle enjoins Filipino domestic workers to prepare for the festive season by taking some lessons on baking Christmas cookies, and making unique decorations.

The first lesson on Christmas Cookie making will be held at the Philippine Consulate this coming Sunday, Nov. 10, from 12:30 to 5:00pm.

The next Sunday, Nov. 17, PC will hold a class on making Christmas decorations, from silver and crystal tree accessories to table runners. The lessons will be held at Rm 303,  YWCA at 1 Macdonnell Road, Mid-Levels, from 12:30-3:30pm.
 
Sample decoration
The 30 slots available will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. A joining fee of $50 per participant will pay for the materials to be used in making the decorations.  Each participant will go home with the finished decoration and runner, and a list of suppliers for the materials in Hong Kong.

Conducting both lessons will be PC President Abigail Camaya-Hills.

The lessons are part of PC’s continuing effort to provide art and livelihood training for free to Filipino migrant workers.

The previous Sunday, Nov. 3, the group also sponsored a workshop on Recycling and Upcycling Glass Bottles with Ron Cristal at the Visual Arts Centre on Kennedy Road, Mid-Levels.

Employer can’t dismiss helper based on parent’s medical record, says EOC

The DDO  prohibits discrimination on the basis of a person's disability or that of her 'associates'


The Equal Opportunities Commission says dismissing foreign domestic workers based on their parents’ medical history could be discriminatory.

This formed the basis for legal proceedings to be initiated by the EOC at the District Court on Nov. 1, on behalf of a FDW who claimed to have been dismissed by her employers after learning that her parents both died of stroke in their fifties.

The claimant said that, by terminating her employment, her former employer  discriminated against her on the ground of the disabilities of her associates (i.e. her deceased parents), a violation of the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (DDO).
According to the claimant, she experienced high blood pressure, dizziness and slurred speech after her employer made her do heavy renovation work. While she was in hospital, her employer asked her about her family medical history, and she mentioned about her parents’ death because of stroke.

On the night she was discharged from the hospital, the employer terminated her employment with immediate effect. The termination letter stated that she was dismissed because of her deceased parents’ medical history.

Citing the DDO, the EOC said it is unlawful for a person to discriminate against another another “by treating him or her less favorably on the ground of the disability of the latter’s ‘associate’, which could include a spouse, another person living in the same flat, or a relative.
“It is not uncommon that foreign domestic workers become subject to discriminatory treatment after falling ill. By taking this case to the court, the EOC hopes to raise public awareness of unlawful disability discrimination in the workplace and educate employers that reasonable accommodation should be provided for employees with disabilities,” said the EOC.

To file a complaint with the EOC or seek its help in filing a claim, call the EOC enquiry hotline at 2511 8211 or e-mail the EOC at complaint@eoc.org.hk . You may lodge your complaint through the EOC's on-line complaint form, by fax at 2106 2324, by post, or in person at 16/F., 41 Heung Yip Road,Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong.

CALL OUR HOTLINE!

After a complaint is received, the EOC will first investigate and decide if it’s based on substantial grounds. If there are none, the complaint will be dismissed. But if substantial grounds are present, the EOC may proceed to conciliation or decide to start legal proceedings as in this case.

Scammer daw

Posted on No comments


Humingi ng tulong kamakailan ang isang Pinay dahil kinuhanan daw siya ng litrato sa daan ng isang kakilala at ipinasa sa mga pinagkakautangan niya.

Ang ginawa ng mga inutangan niya ay nilagay sa Facebook ang kanyang litrato at nilagyan ng caption na “missing,” “scammer,” “liar,” at kung ano-ano pa.

Sinabi pa nila na ipapa-deport siya sakaling malaman nila kung saan siya nagtatago, o ipa-Tulfo para mabunyag ang kanyang ginawa.

Call us!

“Ang akala po kasi nila ay hindi na ako magbabayad,” ang sabi ng humingi ng tulong.

Ang totoo daw ay na-scam siya kaya ang lahat ng inutang niya mula sa kanyang mga kamag-anak at dalawang kaibigan ay napunta din sa wala.

Sa katunayan nang kuhanan siya ng litrato ay tumatawid siya sa kalsada galing sa Philippine Overseas Labor Office sa Wanchai para isumbong ang ginawang panloloko sa kanya.

CALL NOW!

Itinuro daw siya ng mga taga Polo sa assistance to nationals section ng Konsulado para doon humingi ng tulong. Ang payo naman daw sa kanya sa ATN ay iwasan muna ang mag FB para maiwasan ang ma stress sa paniningil ng mga pinagkakautangan niya.

Ang nangyari ay inakala naman ng mga ito na nagtatago na siya.

Ayon sa post ng mga ito, parang wala siyang problema sa litrato, gayong ang totoo ay stressed na stressed na siya talaga.

CALL OUR HOTLINE!

Balak naman daw niyang magbayad kaya lang ay pakaunti-kaunti lang ang kaya niyang ibalik dahil sa dami ng kanyang utang. Sa tanong niya kung puwede niyang kasuhan ang kumuha ng kanyang litrato ang sagot ay hindi.

Sa pampublikong lugar daw kasi siya nakunan ng litrato, at hindi naman ang kumuha ang nag post ng masasamang salita laban sa kanya, kundi ang mga taong tinataguan niya ng dahil sa utang.

Pinayuhan din siya na mag-focus na lang sa pagbabayad ng kanyang mga utang dahil iyon ang dapat.

Mag-iingat din daw siya sa susunod para hindi ma-scam ulit.

Panghuli, huwag ipapangutang ang perang gustong i-negosyo dahil kung hindi ito magtagumpay o ma-scam siya katulad ng nangyari, malaking problema ang kakaharapin niya. – DCLM

Filipina charged with theft while on bail for similar offense

Posted on No comments
The accused allegedly took cosmetics from this Sasa shop in Causeway Bay


A 45-year-old Filipina resident of Hong Kong has been refused bail in Eastern Court for allegedly stealing cosmetics products at two perfume shops in Causeway Bay while being on bail for a previous theft charge in the same court.

Sheryl Coronel, jobless and with no permanent address, was ordered held in custody by Magistrate Bina Chainrai as she adjourned the case for six weeks.
Chainrai rejected a $1,000 bail offer by the defendant, saying she might abscond or re-offend if given temporary liberty due to her previous case and past criminal record.

The first charge said Coronel went on Nov 6 to a SaSa Shop on the first floor of Windsor House at 311 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, and stole a box of foundations.
In the second charge, the defendant allegedly went to another Sa Sa Shop on Yee Wo St, Causeway Bay, on the same day and stole three bottles of Ricqles Peppermint Cure, one set of Shisheido cream and one set of Lancome cream.

The prosecution said she was intercepted by store staff as she left the shop and the stolen items were found in her bag. CCTV footage from the shop allegedly showed her taking the goods.
The prosecutor asked for adjournment while the police conduct further investigations.

Coronel reportedly came to Hong Kong in 1995 and married a Hong Kong resident but was childless.

On Oct 22, she appeared before Chainrai on a separate theft charge and was granted bail, the prosecutor said. That case will be heard again on Dec 3. – Vir B. Lumicao

Karahasan

Posted on No comments

Nakapanlulumong panoorin sa TV ang mga karahasang nangyayari sa paligid natin. Parang wala nang katuturan ang walang habas na paninira ngayon. Hindi na ito upang gumawa ng punto, hindi na upang magbigay ng mensahe, hindi na upang magpakita ng mas magandang argumento upang makamit ang pagbabago.

Ano ba naman, halimbawa, ang magandang  idudulot ng pagwasak sa mga kagamitan at pagsunog sa mga istasyon ng MTR? Ang mga nanira rin ang walang masakyan kinabukasan, at nadamay pa ang karamihan.

CALL NOW!

At ngayon, ang buong ekonomiya ay nasasaktan. Pinangangambahan ang pagdating ng recession, o ang pag-atras ng ekonomiya. Isa sa nga dahilan nito ay bumagsak ang numero ng mga turista, na nagbibigay ng trabaho sa maraming tao. Humina rin ang negosyo ng mga bangko, na isa sa pinaka-malaking pwersa ng  ekonomiya, at real estate.

Hindi naman ganito ka-grabe noong nagsisimula pa lamang ang protesta laban sa isang panukala sa Legislative Council na payagan ang mga bansang walang extradition treaty sa Hong Kong na kunin din ang kanilang mga kriminal na nagtatago dito. Ayon kasi  sa mga lider ng protesta, pwede itong gamitin ng China upang kunin din hindi lang ang mga kriminal kundi iyong mga negrerebelde laban sa komunista nitong palakad.

CALL OUR HOTLINE!

Hindi ba umabot pa sa dalawang milyon ang nag-martsa mula sa Victoria Park hanggang sa Central Government Offices? Ito ay noong iisa pa lamang ang kahilingan ng mga protesta.

Nagsimula ang karahasan nang magpaputok ng tear gas ang mga pulis sa mga sumunod na protesta. At lumala ito nang paghahampasin ng yantok at tubo ang mga nagprotesta at ordinaryong tao sa isang MTR station, at inakusahan ang pulisya na kakutasaba dito.

Call us!

Ngayon ay hindi na lang iisa ang demand ng mga nagpo-protesta, kundi lima, kasama na ang imbestigasyon sa karahasan ng pulisya at eleksyon ng lahat ng mamumuno sa Hong Kong.

Pinalampas ng mga opisyal ang pagkakataong i-resolba ang iisang kahilingan noon ng mamamayan. Makinig na sana sila sa mga hinaing na dapat ay naaksyunan noon pa, at tapusin na ang lumalalang gulo. Dahil lahat tayo ay damay dito.
