Kontratang Pinirmahan sa Ahensya sa Pilipinas na Hindi Tinupad ng Employer Pagdating sa Dayuhang Bansa


Baguhan man o datihan ng nakikipagsapalaran ang ating mga kababayan sa ibang bansa ay malimit na nararansan na may mga employers na hindi tumutupad sa kontrata na pinirmahan sa ahensya na kanilang pinag-aplayan ditto sa ating bansa. Marahil ay hindi na ito bago sa ilang mga kababayan natin na OFW. Pero sa mga baguhan at para sa mga magbabakasakali na makipagsapalaran sa ibang bansa mas mabuti na malaman ng bawat isa ang nararapat na gawin kung ito at inyong mararanasan ang ganitong sitwasyon.


Isa ito sa mga natatanggap kong problema ng aming mga aplikante na nakarating na sa bansa na kung saan sila ay maghahanapbuhay o makikipagsapalaran. Natatandaan ko ang isa naming naging aplikante na si Miriam, isa siyang Nurse dito sa Pilipinas at natanggap sya sa Saudi bilang isang private nurse. Sa kanyang pinirmihang kontrata dito sa Pilipinas nakalagay kung magkano ang kanyang sasahurin, ilang oras sa isang araw nyang aalagaan ang kanyang pasyente at kung anong araw ang kanyang day off upang makapagpahinga siya.


Pagkadating ni Miriam sa Saudi ay nagtext na sya sa akin na naging maayos naman ang kanyang byahe at sinundo sya ng kanyang employer sa airport at naging maganda naman daw ang pagtanggap sa kanya ng kanyang employer. Subalit makalipas ang isang linggo ay nagtext sa akin si Miriam dahil may mga nakasaad sa kontrata na hindi natupad. Isa sa mga ito ay ang oras ng kanya trabaho na umaabot sa 13 hours na ang dapat lamang sana ay 8 hours a day, pangalawa ay ang kanyang day off tuwing Byernes sinabihan daw sya ng kanyang employer na kailangan nyang bantayan ang kanyang pasyente sa loob ng 24 oras at hindi daw sya pwedeng maag day off dahil walang magbabantay sa kanyang alaga.


Agad na nagtext sa akin si Miriam upang ipaalam sa aming tanggapan ang kanyang karanasan. Tama ang naging unang hakbang ni Miriam na sa aming tanggapan muna nakipag-ugnayan upang magawan naming ng paraan ang kanyang hinaing. Pagdating ko sa aming tanggapan ay kinausap ko ang aming Presidente at pinaalam ang hinaing ni Miriam. Ang unang hakbang na aming ginawa ay nakipag-ugnayan muna sa ahensya sa Saudi na ka tie-up ng aming tanggapan upang alamin ang kalagayan ni Miriam sa Saudi at upang tiyakin na tinutupad ng kanyang employer ang nakasaad sa kontrata na kanyang pinirmahan.


Napag-alaman namin na may nilabag nga sa kontrata ang employer ni Miriam at agad itong inayos ng aming ahensya at ng ahensya na aming ka tie-up sa Saudi. Agad na nasolusyunan ang alalahanin ni Miriam at ito ay aming pinaalam sa kanya. At nangako ang kanyang employer na kung ano lamang ang nasa kontrata ay yung lamang ang dapat na gawin ni Miriam. Nagpasalamat sa aming tanggapan si Miriam dahil sa mabilis na aksyon ng aming ahensya sa kanyang hinaing.


May mga pagkakataon din naman na ang ibang aplikante at di nakikipag ugnayan sa ahensya kapag di natupad ang kanilang kontrata na pinirmahan. Ang iba ay tumatakas sa kanilang employer at nagpupunta sa embahada ng Pilipinas o sa kanilang mga kapwa Pilipino upang mamasukan sa ibang employer.


Mas makabubuti na kapag nakaranas ng ganitong suliranin ay agad na makipag ugnayan sa inyong ahensya upang sila ang unang makatulong sa inyong suliranin at makipag- ugnayan sa inyong mga employers. Kung maari ay kuhanin din ninyo ang numero ng ahensya ninyo dito sa Pilipinas bago kayo umalis o kaya naman ay ibigay ang lahat ng detalye ng inyong ahensya na inapplyan sa miyembro ng inyo pamilya, para kung sakali man na hindi nyo makontak ang sino man sa ahensya ay maaring magpunta o tumawag ang isa sa mgamiyembro ng inyong pamilya at ipaalam ang inyong suliranin at matulungan na masolusyunan ito.


News keeps us informed of what is taking place around us. It tells us of political events, extraordinary and the ordinary important events. Even the advertisements have their value. In the world today, reading the news is essential and necessary.

Newspapers give us deeper in sight into the event. With newspapers you can choose to spend a few minutes or a few hours reading repeatedly a piece of news, unlike television.

Reading motivates the drive to know what happens next, to want to turn the page, the need to keep going. So it forces us to learn new words, to think new thoughts. In addition, it also builds empathy.

Reading the news is like gaining insider access to current information about the world we live in today. It records events that happen. It is important and interesting to read about developments and progress that are being made from day to day in the affairs of your country or in the affairs to the world. Thus, reading a newspaper makes us fit to participate in our society. It also helps develop an educated mind, informed judgment, and critical understanding.

It has been said that to read is to fly and it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries. Reading is a particular exercise that not only gives an insight to the world around, but gives us an inner comfort. When we read a particular news, we start identifying ourselves with situations and those around us. By reading, we are actually viewing a reflection of our society. In the fast paced modern world of today, it has become very important to be updated. Newspaper is a great way of keeping ourselves updated. Newspapers remain the most invaluable source of news and information, despite the different forms of the electronic media.


Reading news also inadvertently improves one’s language skills. News items and articles are written to express and communicate, thus precision and meticulous use of words and expressions are used. As a result, a person will absorb these language and style details while going through news items and articles, as well as sharpen communication skills in reading and writing. Consequently, comprehension skills are enhanced. The more one reads, new words and expressions reveal their meaning to the reader’s mind. Unconsciously, our vocabulary is enhanced and the language ability improves, becoming more expressive and fluent.

May we ask for a small favor?

Unlike others, we don't charge users fees for asking questions from our medical, legal and other experts. This is because we want to keep our services free and accessible to all, regardless of social or financial status.

But it's difficult and expensive work. While more underserved Filipinos are using BuhayOFW, none are paying for it. And advertising revenues are minimal. Nevertheless, we have costs like any other top site: servers, power, rent, programs, staff, medical/legal experts, etc. We take no government funds; we run on donations.

So if you value our work in helping less fortunate Filipino friends, then become a Supporter and help make our future more secure. Help us continue our work.
