Malacañang have welcomed the modification of the travel advisory to the Philippines by
France.
The old advisory warned French citizens of the “risk of terrorist attack” in the Philippines,
especially in public places in urban areas frequented by foreigners.
The revised advisory cites the possibility of terrorist activity only in certain areas of Mindanao
rather than the entire country. However, the advisory also warns of rising crime rates in the
Philippines especially during the Christmas season.
“France was able to modify its travel advisory. We welcome that decision,” said deputy
presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte. “We are hopeful that the other countries will follow
soon.”
Five other nations – the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand
continue to advise their citizens against traveling to the Philippines due to perceived terrorist
threats brought on by events like the botched hostage crisis back in August 23, 2010 which
resulted in the deaths of 8 Hong Kong nationals. (PIA)

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) clarifies on Sunday on the issue that
there is a current deployment ban of OFWs to South Korea as reported earlier, as she says
there will be only a delay, according to local news sites.
In a statement released by Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, she clarified that the
government did not impose a ban for OFW’s bound for South Korea, but rather delayed the
schedule of the 55-member of OFW, which was moved from November 30 to December 7,
2010.
The decision to ban the deployment of Filipinos to South Korea, where tension has been high
following last week’s artillery exchange between the two Koreas, will still have to be made
pending a review of the security situation there, Baldoz said.
“The government team, headed by Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo
and which the President had directed to assess the situation, had recommended this decision
as a matter of caution and prudence,” she said.
“Any further decision on the deployment of OFWs to South Korea will be reviewed after the
team of Ambassador Roy Cimatu, which has been ordered to go to South Korea to assess
the situation there, has submitted a report,” Baldoz added.
There are sixty thousand Filipino nationals in South Korea and only nine are working in North
Korea. Of the nine Filipino nationals, five are working for the United Nations, and four are
working for a foreign international tobacco company. (PIA)

UBAN sa mga tinugyanan sa Department of Energy, makig-sulti usab ang mga sakop sa prensa sa
Bohol sa mga benepisaryo sa Rural Electrification Project nga gipundohan sa Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) sa isla nga barangay sa Alumar sa Getafe.
Lokal ug international nga sakop sa media ang ikauban usab sa mga tinugyanan sa JICA ug mga
langyawng magtutuon ang mogikan sa Tagbilaran paingon sa Getafe sa Miyerkoles sa buntag sayo
aron ikabagat ang mga tawong nakatagamtam sa kamaayo sa proyekto.
Ang proyekto sa DOE gipundohan usab sa JICA sanglit ang pagpakutay sa elektrisidad lisud nga
buhaton kon kini magagikan sa mainland.
Ang Rural electrification project sa Alumar nahimong possible pinaagi sa teknolohiyang gahum solar.
Samtang dako-dako na ang porsyento nga nakab-ot sa pagpakutay og koryente sa Bohol, may mga
layo nga isla pa dinhi nga padayon pang nangandoy nga mapakutayan sa serbisyo sa elektrisidad.
