Leaders of 10 member states in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have finally signed the long-delayed consensus that would protect the rights of migrant workers. The signed consensus, dubbed “ASEAN Consensus on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers” was presented by President Rodrigo Duterte to ASEAN Secretary General Le Luong Minh on Tuesday, November 14. The consensus is a follow-up document to the “ASEAN Declaration on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers” that was adopted back in 2007 in Cebu. The agreement is expected to benefit over 200,000 Filipino migrant workers in the region, many of whom are employed in Singapore and Malaysia, both members of ASEAN. It is also expected to prevent many unfair practices from occurring in ASEAN member states, which includes confiscation of passports, overcharging of placement or recruitment fees and gives protection against violence and sexual harassment in the workplace, as well as the right to fair and appropriate remuneration benefits and their right to join trade unions and associations. “In cases where Filipino migrant workers are imprisoned, they will have rights no less favorable than those applied to the local workers. They also have the right to file grievances with the relevant authorities in the countries they are working in,” Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said in a statement. The implementation of the agreement will be subject to the respective laws of the ASEAN members. “I am pleased to announce that ASEAN member states have Read More …

Image via Maria Izobel Taguiam’s Facebook Page “Do you have a boyfriend?” As questions went, the one posed by Miss Earth 2008 Karla Henry to Binibining Cebu candidate Maria Izobel Taguiam was as softball as they get. Beautiful, smart, sexy: it was only natural for beauty queens to have relationships going into competitions. But for Taguiam, Henry’s question was an opportunity for her to be as honest and as truthful as she could about her sexuality and her partner. Without missing a beat, Taguiam replied: “Yes, but not a boyfriend but a girlfriend. Because I believe love does not see gender and if you love that someone, go for it.” It was the last answer that many people in the crowd expected from the 17-year-old high school student at the Southwestern University, but one that drew applause and cheers from the audience, Rappler reports. “Do you think that a woman who is single will make a better Binibining Cebu or that one who is a relationship?” Henry asked, as a follow-up question. “I think mas maayo jud na committed ka kay kung imong partner kahibaw mo support nimo sa tanan nimong desisyon, he or she will not hinder sa imong mga commitments (I think it would be better if you are committed because if your partner knows how to support, he or she will not hinder you from doing your commitments),” Taguiam replied. Taguiam, who has been with her current girlfriend for five months now is thankful for her partner. Read More …

According to WEF’s Global Gender Gap report for 2017, the Philippines is ranked 10th place, slipping 3 notches from 7th back in 2016. Despite that, the country maintained its status as being the most gender equal country in Asia. The Philippines was one of the first countries in Asia to have a female president in Cory Aquino, which led the country from February 25, 1986 to June 30, 1992. President Trump also praised the Philippines for being a “proud nation” with “strong and devout families”.

Chinkee Tan SM’s owner, Henry Sy. Robinson’s owner, John Gokongwei. PAL’s owner, Lucio Tan. What do they have in common aside being wealthy, they are all Filipino Chinese. The Chinese are very unique when it comes to money judging from both the culture’s superstitious beliefs and practical applications. Here are some interesting Chinese beliefs that I have come across over the years that may sound familiar to a lot of Filipinos: Burying money under the floor or a house or business attracts wealth. Wearing a jade ring on the little finger brings wealth. Never allow your wallet to be empty. At least leave some coins in it when not in use. Do not put your bag on the floor if you want to attract money. Putting plants with round-shaped leaves inside the house can bring one a lot of good fortune. The list can go on and on. While there is no acceptable scientific explanation for these practices, the Chinese are careful to abide by them. In fact, they are careful to pass it on to the next generation. When it comes to PRACTICAL applications on the effective use of money, there are so many helpful tips that we can learn from the Chinese. Here are a few famous ones that I know you may be aware of: LESSON 1: SAVE MONEY AT ALL COST. Putting aside money for a rainy day is always a good idea. LESSON 2: PAY FOR PURCHASES IN CASH. Like what I would always say, Read More …
The first female supervising animator at Pixar Animation Studios is a Filipino-American. Gini Santos, the studio’s lead animator for the upcoming Disney Pixar movie Coco, is responsible for earning rave reviews about the animation and graphics work shown in the movie’s trailers. The 31-year-old Pixnoy (Pinoys working at Pixar) has been with the studio since 1996 when she began working as a character animator for Toy Story 2. Her film animation credits also include Finding Nemo, Monster’s Inc., The Incredibles, A Bug’s Life, Ratatouille, Up, Lifted and Brave. She was nominated in 2004 for an Annie award for her detailed lifelike animation on Finding Nemo, and was nominated by the Visual Effects Society for an award for this project as well. In a media briefing in the Philippines, Santos talked about how Coco reminded her of Filipino culture. “I was able to relate because I felt that the dynamic of the family was the same that we had here. And you know, the example of like in the States or in the Western world, your personal space is really big. Whereas here in the Philippines, your personal spaces are really tiny. Like, people stand really close to each other on the streets. And even for family members, that’s also the case,” Santos said in a Rappler report. The University of Santo Tomas Fine Arts graduate also revealed how she is faring as a female leader in the male-dominated animation industry. “I think my struggle was just trying to get my Read More …
