Walang legal na basehan ang pagpapatupad ng 'no vaccination, no pay' scheme ayon kay Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre Bello III.

"Itong ganitong polisiya, ilegal, walang legal basis yan and it violates our Labor Code, na nagsasabi na hindi mo pwedeng i-withhold ang sweldo ng isang manggagawa kung walang legal basis," pagtiyak ni Sec. Bello sa panayam ng Ano Sa Palagay 'Nyo.

Ito ay kasunod ng pagkondena ng Trade Union Congress of the Philippines sa diumano'y pagpapatupad ng ilang employers ng nasabing kautusan.

“(We) strongly condemn as inhuman and illegal the ‘no vaccine, no salary’ scheme imposed by employers on their unvaccinated employees,” pahayag ng TUCP.

Hinikayat ni Sec. Bello ang sinumang apektado ng ganitong uri ng pamamalakad na magreklamo sa hotline o bumisita sa tanggapan ng DOLE.

Nilinaw rin ng kalihim na kailangan muna ang batas bago magpatupad ng mandatory vaccination para sa labor force.

"Kulang pa tayo ng bakuna. That is the reality, tapos pipilitin mo yung tao? [empleyado]," dagdag pa niya.

"NO VACCINATION, NO PAY" ILEGAL - DOLE

Inanunsyo ni NBA Commissioner Adam Silver noong Lunes na nasa 96% na ng mga players ang bakunado kontra Covid-19 sa kabila ng ilang pagtutol sa league-wide na mandato.

Sa bisperas ng bagong NBA season, sinabi ni Silver na dumami pa ang bilang ng nagpabakuna at inaasahan pang madagdagan pagkatapos magsimula ng season.

“Roughly 96 percent of our players are vaccinated, and that number will likely tick up a bit when the season starts,” ani Silver.

Umugong ang isyu tungkol sa vaccine hesitancy bago ang 2021-2022 season matapos mapabalitang hindi paglalaruin si Kyrie Irving ng Brooklyn Nets dahil ayaw nitong magpabakuna.

Isang regulasyon sa New York ang nag-oobliga ng vaccination sa mga indibidwal na pupunta sa public indoor spaces, na nangangahulugang hindi makakapaglaro sa balwarte si Irving.

Gayumpaman, ipinasya pa rin ng Nets na hindi paglaruin si Irving mapa-home o away games hangga't hindi ito bakunado.

Sinabi ni Silver na umaasa siyang magbabago ang isip ni Irving.

“I hope that Kyrie, despite how strongly he feels about the vaccination, ultimately decides to get vaccinated because I’d love to see him play basketball this season, and I’d love to see the Brooklyn Nets have their full complement of players on the floor,” ani Silver.

“It’s indiscriminate in terms of who it impacts, and I think it’s perfectly appropriate that New York and other cities have passed laws that require people who both work and visit arenas to be vaccinated.

“That seems to be a responsible public health decision made by those locales, and those are the circumstances in which the Nets find themselves operating.”

Makabubuti para sa lahat

Pinaburan ni Silver ang league-wide vaccination mandate na tinutulan ng NBA Players Association, bagaman ito ay sinang-ayunan ng NBA Referees Association.

“I would have preferred ultimately that the players association agreed on mandatory vaccinations,” ani Silver.

“That outreach will continue. We think that at the end of the day players being fully informed is helpful. The science very much supports getting vaccinated, not just for themselves but for their families and their communities.”

Samantala, inaasahan ni Silver na kikita ang bagong season ng $10-bilyon dahil na rin sa pagbabalik ng fans sa mga arena.

Bumagsak ng $8.3-bilyon ang kita ng liga noong 2019-2020 sa 35%.

“We lost significant amounts of money,” ani Silver. “The good news I think is that we’re able to take a long-term view of this business and continue to grow in it, continue to invest in it.

“So we’ll try to look at it as an ongoing investment in the business over a long period of time as opposed to a loss of an individual season.” (AFP)

96% NG NBA PLAYERS, BAKUNADO NA

Inilunsad na ng NET25 ang pinakabago nitong programa na ASPN o Ano Sa Palagay 'Nyo? noong Lunes, tampok ang tambalan ng mga kilalang broadcaster na sina Ali Sotto at Pat Daza.

Ang programa ay umeere tuwing 8:00 hanggang 10:00 ng umaga sa NET25, at napapakinggan din sa DZEC Radyo Agila 1062 at Eagle FM 95.5.

Umaasa sina Ali at Pat na magiging daan ang programa para malaman kung ano ang saloobin ng mga Pilipino sa mga isyu sa bansa.

“Ipi-presenta namin sa inyo ang bawat panig ng bawat issue. Yung iba kasi, meron nang stand e, meron nang opinyon nang hindi mo pa nakalap lahat ng anggulo,” pahayag ni Ali.

“Sana ang maparamdam namin na first and foremost tayo ay Pilipino,” dagdag pa niya.

“Talagang ginagawa namin ang lahat para mabigyan ang manonood ng maganda at masustansyang programa. Hindi lang palamuti, kundi may sustansya. More than anything, it has to be substantive," ayon naman kay Pat.

Mainit naman silang tinanggap ng mga tagapakinig.

"Kahit more than two hours ay talagang tututukan ko ang talakayan nila ma'am Ali at ma'am Pat D. Nakakaaliw ang batuhan nila ng kuro kuro at pala-palagay," ani Ellen Vicente.

"Napakagandang partner[ship] na ginawa ng NET25. Masarap manood at talagang mapupuno ka ng maraming kaalaman. Maraming thumbs-up po sa ASPN!" komento naman ni Emar Dcllo.

"Ali, Pat-P, congrats! You were grand on your first two hours. No boring moments at all. Keep it up," sabi naman ni Danny Vibas.

BAKUNADO na kontra COVID-19 ang 74,730 na inmate o persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) sa buong bansa.

Ayon kay Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) spokesperson Xavier Solda, ang nasabing bilang ay 60% sa kabuuang 123,848 preso sa 472 kulungan sa buong bansa.

Minamadali na rin ng BJMP ang pagbabakuna sa lahat ng mga nakakulong upang maiwasan ang paglawak ng COVID-19 sa mga kulungan.

“Sabi nga ng aming chief… ‘yung aming mga regional director ‘wag muna magpahinga. Tuloy-tuloy dapat ang coordination sa local government at ang aming director for health service lagi naka-contact sa national vaccine operation center,” dagdag pa ni Solda.

Sa datos, ang BJMP ay nakapagtala ng 4,595 positive cases, habang nasa 4,404 ang nakarekober mula sa nasabing sakit.
Sa ngayon, mayroon lamang 72 PDLs ang patuloy na minomonitor.

74,730 INMATES NABAKUNAHAN NA VS COVID-19

Inihayag ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) na ilegal ang "no vaccine, no salary."

Ito ay matapos i-ulat ng Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) nitong Lunes na nakatanggap ito ng mga report na may mga empleyadong hindi pinasahod dahil wala pa itong bakuna kontra COVID.

"Wala, bawal yan. Bawal yan," ani Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III sa isang panayam sa TeleRadyo.

“Labag sa batas nga 'yan. You cannot withhold the salary of an employee or a worker without legal basis. Eh yung hindi pagbabakuna, hindi legal basis ‘yun. Kaya bawal na bawal yang ganyang policy na no vax, no pay," dagdag nito.

Giit ni Bello, maaaring isumbong ng mga empleyado ang mga employers na hindi nagpapasahod dahil hindi bakunado ang mga ito.

"'Yung worker na hindi pinasahod dahil hindi bakunado, pwedeng pumunta sa aming tanggapan. Pwede nga lang--pwede ngang ano eh, through our hotline yung 1349, pwede tumawag, sabihin na isa siyang isang empleyado, hindi siya sinasahuran, dahil hindi siya bakunado, pwede yung ganoon yun,” ayon kay Bello.

"Basta ang mahalaga, malaman namin kung sino yung employer o sino yung manager o kumpanya na hindi nagpapasahod dahil hindi bakunado. Para sa ganoon, pwede namin inspeksyunin agad yung employer.”

"NO VACCINE, NO SALARY", ILLEGAL -- DOLE

Valid at reliable ang COVID-19 RT-PCR swab tests ng Philippine Red Cross (PRC) batay sa pagsusuri ng  Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) .

Ang findings ng RITM ay ikinatuwa naman ng PRC at nagpapasalamat sila sa patas na imbestigasyon ng RITM-DOH sa nasabing usapin kung saan unang inihayag ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na may mga false positive cases na nasuri ang PRC laboratory sa Subic, Zambales.

“We found no evidence of contamination for the forty-eight (48) cases tested by PRC Subic laboratory and the results were found to be valid and reliable,” saad sa pahayag ng RITM matapos ang isinagawang imbestigasyon sa usapin.

Una na ring ipinaliwanag ni PH Red Cross Chairman Sen. Richard Gordon na hindi lang para sa mga gamit ang sinisingil, kundi pambayad rin sa mga medical technologist at iba pang tauhan na buwis buhay din sa pag-aasikaso ng mga sample. Ang pahayag ni Gordon ay salungat sa unang sinabi ng Pangulo na di makatwiran na taas singil sa RT-PCR tests ang humanitarian institution.

Ayon kay Gordon, hindi matatawaran ang trabaho ng mga gumagawa ng test dahil nahaharap sila sa posibleng impeksyon.

Patunay lamang umano ito na naging biktima sila ng walang basehang alegasyon, para sirain ang kredibilidad sa harap ng publiko.

“The PRC has found itself a victim of unsubstantiated allegations in recent months. This is due to damning evidence against involved parties in the awarding of more than Php8.7 billion in contracts for overpriced medical supplies to an undercapitalized company under the Bayanihan to Heal Act. Senator Richard Gordon has been leading the investigation of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee as its Chairman. Senator Gordon is also the Chairman and CEO of the PRC, under whose watch the humanitarian organization has undergone an intensive modernization program,” saad ng pahayag mula sa PRC.

INIHAYAG ng Bureau of Immigration (BI) na mahigit sa 9,000 overseas Filipinos ang nakabalik nasa bansa sa Subic Bay International Airport (SBIA) sa Olongapo City.

Sa ulat kay Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente, sinabi ni  BI-Clark International Airport (CIA) head supervisor Maan Krista Lapid-Legaspi na may kabuuang 9,111 na pasahero ang dumating sa SBIA noong pang July nang muli itong  binuksan para mag serbisyo para sa special commercial flights na galing abroad. Ang lahat ng kanilang mga flights ay via Philippine Airlines.

“Our immigration officers in Clark are serving these Subic flights that arrive two to three times a week, each of which carries an average of 200 to 300 passengers,” ayon kay Legaspi.

Dagdag pa nito na may kabuuang 33 flights ang dumating na sa Subic na nanggaling mula sa Middle East, China at Palau.

 “We assure PAL and our stakeholders in Subic that our officers will always be available to process the passengers of these repatriation flights,” ayon kay  Morente. 

“Upon receiving the advance notice on the schedule of these flights, we designate the number of immigration officers to provide arrival formalities,” dagdag pa ni Morente.

 Matatandaan na ang Subic Airport ay ibinalik ang kanilang international flight operations noong July.

TATLO pang dam sa Luzon ang nananatiling bukas ang gate upang magpakawala ng tubig.

Alas-6 ng umaga ay bukas pa ang gate ng Ambuklao Dam sa Benguet na may taas na 0.6 meters.

Tanging isang gate lamang ang bukas na may taas na 0.3 meters.

Ang antas ng tubig sa nasabing dam ay nasa 751.83 meters at kritikal na para sa 752-meter normal high water level na posibleng umapaw.

Binuksan din ang isang gates ng Binga Dam na may taas na 0.30 meter.

Kaninang alas-6 ng umaga ang antas ng tubig sa nasabing dam ay 574.37 meters na malapit nang umapaw.

Maging ang Magat Dam sa Isabela ay nagpakawala na rin ng tubig o itinaas ang gate ng isang metro dahil kritikal na rin para sa pag-apaw na ngayon ay nasa 191.83 meters.

Ang pagpapakawala ng tubig ay kinakailangan upang hindi magdulot ng matinding danyos gaya ng pagkawasak ng gate ng dam.

NILAGDAAN na ni Pangulong  Rodrigo Roa Duterte  ang Republic Act 11592 o LPG Industry Regulation Act  na naglalayong i-regulate o ayusin ang domestic liquefied petroleum gas industry at tiyakin ang proteksyon ng mga mamimili laban sa malpractices.

Ang batas ay tinintahan noong Oktubre 14 at ang  kopya ay ipinalabas, araw ng Lunes Oktubre 18.

"The new law establishes an LPG Cylinder Improvement Program to ensure the quality of all cylinders in circulation with the goal of protecting the end-consumers," ayon sa ulat.

Pinapayagan din ng LPG Cylinder Exchange and Swapping Program ang “exchange, swapping, and buyback of LPG cylinders, the computation of the depreciated value of LPG cylinders, and the establishment of accredited LPG cylinder swapping centers.”

Sa kabilang dako, ang  Department of Energy (DOE) ang magsisilbing pangunahing ahensiya ng gobyerno na responsable para sa implementasyon at pagpapatupad ng RA 11592.

Ang DoE ang "mag- regulate, supervise, at monitor" ng  LPG industry at lahat ng industriya na magpapartisipa upang masiguro ang pagsunod sa   "health, safety, security, at environmental standards," naaangkop na PNS (Philippine National Standards), at pinayagang codes and standards."

Ito rin ang maghahanda sa LPG Industry Development Plan, na may konsultasyon sa publiko at pribadong stakeholders,  na isasama sa  Philippine Energy Plan.

Ang LPG Industry Development Plan ay naglalayong tiyakin  na ang "existing and projected LPG supply levels will meet demand," kabilang na ang konkretong  hakbang para mas ma-develop pa ang industriya.

Sa ilalim ng RA 11592, "every LPG industry participant shall secure a license to operate, which shall indicate the specific site, plant, and outlet, prior to the commencement of commercial operation, and shall publicly post such license to operate in its business establishment or premises."

Sa pangyayari o event na ang participant ay nais na sumali sa bagong aktibidad sa labas ng kanyang kasalukuyang lisensiya na mag-operate, kailangan nitong kumuha ng panibagong lisensya para sa bagong aktibidad.

"All participants shall conduct business only with LPG industry players with valid licenses to operate for the specific activity they are engaged in," ayon pa rin sa ulat.

Ang DOE naman ay magkakaroon ng  "exclusive authority" para magpalabas ng lisensiya  para mag-operate, balido para sa tatlong taon "or any such period as may be determined by the agency."

Nakasaad sa batas, magpapataw ito ng multa na mula  P5,000  hanggang P500,000 at pagkabilanggo ng "not less than six months, but not exceeding six years" sa mga lumabag.

Ang batas ay magiging epektibo 15 araw matapos ang pagkakalathala sa Official Gazette o sa kahit sa 2 alinmang pahayagan na mayroong general circulation.

PDU30, NILAGDAAN NA ANG LPG INDUSTRY REGULATION ACT

BELLO’S BLUFF (First of two parts)

I can fully understand why Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III is rattling a highly publicized threat of a Filipino workers deployment ban on Saudi Arabia these days.

Political time is running out on him.  

The wage claims of almost 10,000 Filipino workers against their employers in Saudi Arabia remain unsatisfied for five years running now, despite an alleged final and executory judgement in their favor in Saudi courts.  

This celebrated case was his baptism of fire upon his assumption into office in 2016, and the term of the current administration ends in less than a year.  On top of this, if he runs for the Senate next year, like he said he might, this case will hang like an albatross around his neck.

He is reportedly travelling to Dubai by month’s end to meet his Saudi counterparts in what sounds like a final showdown and, apparently, with the specter of a ban as his 800-pound gorilla at the negotiating table. Taking this to media has all the looks of an opening move, to strengthen his position. 

The value of a good threat lies in intimidation so strong it cancels out the need to make good on it. It is that, or the threat fails its purpose. 

Now, what if the Saudis call Bello’s bluff?

Just last May, we imposed it briefly on Saudi Arabia to protest the practice of some Saudi employers to charge the cost of their quarantine protocols, amounting to around 47,000 pesos, to incoming OFWs. That was swiftly, and successfully, resolved, but not before its precipitous imposition caught many of our own workers unawares, stranding them in our ports, causing so much costs in delays. 

Our experience during the time of President Corazon Aquino was more sanguine. We imposed a ban on sending domestic workers to Saudi Arabia and the Saudis responded by banning all our workers across the board.  We buckled under the greater pressure and, from the accounts of veteran labor officials, ended up conceding to Saudi demands that would not have been made but for the ban, without getting any for it. The ban, however good the optics may be at home, considering the sheer number and the highly publicized cases of abuse against our workers, has exposed a basic weakness that ought to have been obvious to us – we have over a million OFWs in Saudi Arabia whose jobs were threatened by it. 

The Saudis know how to play the balance of pressure, and if this were among belligerents instead of two states with a long history of mutually beneficial, if checkered, relations, the party who can cause the biggest pain to the other at the least pain to itself wins. We don’t want to go there.

Figures from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) show that among the top eleven countries of destination for OFWs, only Saudi Arabia registered a consistently upward annual deployment growth, from 293,049 in 2010 to 412,531 in 2019. All saw a steep dive in 2020, the starting year of the Covid pandemic. This trend coincides with figures from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) for the Gulf Cooperating Council (GCC) States.

It is not only plain that we are still heavily reliant on Saudi Arabia for jobs for Filipinos and, therefore, remittances as well; it seems that they are increasingly less on dependent on us.

First, more and more Filipinos work in the GCC as rehires, not new hires. Rehires, unless they happen to be in the Philippines for a visit, will not be affected by the ban. And if an attempt to stop them from returning to the worksite is made, they will raise a howl any administration can only resist at their own political peril, not to mention its legal vulnerability.

Second, while we still fancy ourselves as preferred workers overseas, we are what one veteran Labor Attaché calls mere “sentimental favorites” today. The plain truth is that over 70 percent of our total deployment are now in easily replaceable low skills in elementary occupation and services. Even our so-called English proficiency is no longer a distinct advantage as other nations like Vietnam, Nepal and Myanmar are catching up as we continue to deteriorate on that score, even back home.

One of the often-missed ironies of our times is that our most helpless many, like our domestic helpers, are actually supporting the prosperity of our most privileged few, and everyone else in between. Consumption expenditures usually account for about 60 percent of our Gross Domestic Product, and this is driven by annual OFW remittances already amounting to 32 billion US dollars before Covid. 

It is not clear from news reports which particular claims Secretary Bello is referring to in his latest statements but, in 2016, companies like Saudi Oger, Saudi Bin Laden Group, Al Saad Group, Al-Khodari, for various reasons, experienced financial difficulties from failure to collect outstanding receivables from the Saudi government. 

To Bello’s credit, what is clear is that high level interventions on our side in 2016, worked. It won the cooperation of Saudi labor, justice and immigration offices, and even the King himself,  in the repatriation or replacement of our workers, documenting their claims, filing them in their courts, with some of these companies already undergoing liquidation process as early 2017, or even earlier.

This is a particularly risky time to be toying with a ban except, of course, as a last resort, when there is clear and present threat to the safety of our OFWs, and when the dignity and core interests of our nation requires.

Our current unemployment rate has dropped to 6.9 percent in the third quarter this year, an improvement over last year’s horrid 10 percent that is threatened once again by the reimposition of harder quarantine measures since August of this year. This is also threatening the recovery of our economic growth back into positive territory. Based on our quarterly Gross Domestic Production numbers, we dropped to a dizzying negative 15 percent  growth last year. Worst, with increased government borrowing to cover the cost of our responses to the pandemic, our debt-to-GDP ratio rose from 39.6 percent at the onset of the pandemic last year to a whooping 60.4 percent as of June this year.

We are literally living on borrowed lives with no quick fix in sight and, guess what! We are going to rely on overseas employment, our private recruitment agencies, and our tried and tested foreign labor markets, once again. To achieve quick economic recovery, we shall soon be declaring our OFWs heroes once more, this time with even more feelings, as we have always done, over and over ad nauseam.

We know little of the current details of the claims, and why they remain unsatisfied this long after it slipped away from media focus in the years intervening. What is clear, however, is that there is a remedy for those claims in Saudi Arabia, we have availed of it, and the process is still ongoing.  Bello is on a mission to test it again and, in turn all his diplomatic skills, and that of our entire diplomatic establishment, shall be tested, too.

We can only hold our breath and hope that he succeeds. For our sakes. And his, too.

Nasa 139 na lamang ang mga lugar sa National Capital Region (NCR) na nasa ilalim ng granular lockdown.

Sinabi ni Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Undersecretary at Spokesperson Jonathan Malaya, mula sa dating 896 lugar na naka-granular lockdown sa pagsisimula ng pilot implementation ng bagong alert level system sa rehiyon noong kalagitnaan ng Setyembre, bumaba ito sa 333 noong Oktubre 1.

Nitong Oktubre 15 umano ay nasa 139 na lamang ito.
