Let's Speak Inglis

n the Philippines, most kids in private schools are forced to speak English at all times. A kid who just came from the province and who barely speaks the language tried his best to do so.

One day, the kid needed to go to the bathroom so bad but he didn't know what to tell his teacher. He raised his hand and said, "guro, pwede po bang pumunta nang banyo?" (meaning, teacher may I go to the bathroom?')

Since the boy didn't speak English, the teacher pretended that she didn't hear him. The boy said to himself, "what should I say (in Filipino, of course)". Then suddenly, the boy raised his hand and said, "FATHER, MOTHER, I", and quickly rushed out the door and to the bathroom.

Benefits of the Exit Permit For Sponsors

But after four years of working as a maid in Saudi Arabia, she lacks both her passport and the exit permit that would allow her to return to the Philippines.

So for three months Delacruz has lived on the pavement under a massive elevated eight-lane highway in central Jeddah, hoping to be rounded up by immigration police, then given documents and a ticket home.

Saudi domestic workers treated like slaves, says Human Rights Watch

Around her maybe 1,000 other Asian men and women sit in darkness under the flyover in the bustling Red sea port. All have been trying for months to get deported.

In another area huddle hundreds of Africans, also seeking to leave.

Special board exam for OFWs in December

DOHA: After many years of hard work, hundreds of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) are now looking forward to finally getting their professional licences through a special board exam to be conducted here in December by the Philippine government’s Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).

The special board exams was realised through an executive order issued by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo which will be conducted every year for qualified OFWs in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and other Middle East countries that have diplomatic relations with the Philippines.

In Qatar, the board exam hopefuls have been undergoing review classes on weekends over the past few months. The classes were made possible through the organised groups of Filipino architects, engineers and accountants.
