MANILA, Feb. 02 (PIA)–Nipasidaan ang Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) sa tanang mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) nga mag-amping sa paggamit sa social media sama sa Facebook ug Twitter.
Matud pa ni POEA Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac, bisan maayo nga paagi ang social media aron mahimong maduol pa gihapon sa mga mahal sa kinabuhi bisan naa sa ubang nasud, giingong mahimo pa gihapon kining hinungdan sa problema.
Giingong angay sundon ang mga sumbanan aron malikay sa kagubot.
Una, angay nga limitahan ang mga post alang sa mga higala ug siguradohong mga close friends lamang ang naa sa friends list.
Matud pa nga dili angay i-add ang boss o agalon ug i-lain gayud ang personal account sa trabaho.
Dili angay gamiton ang social media aron ipagawas ang mga reklamo sa kumpanya imbes nga ipaagi kini sa grievance committee sa gi-trabahuan.
Giingong dili usab angay sawayon ang lahing kultura, relihiyon ug pamatasan sa mga tawo sa nasud nga gi-trabahuan ug dili usab moapil sa mga debate kalabot sa politika ug relihiyon.
Ug labi sa tanan, dili angay mag-post og mga malaw-ay nga hulagway. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

MANILA, Feb. 02 (PIA)–Mikabat sa 12.4 milyong Pinoy ang walay trabaho sa ika-upat nga kwarter sa 2014.
Kapareho kini sa 27% nga joblessness rate nga pinakataas sukad matala ang 27.5% niadtong Disyembre 2013.
Base kini sa survey sa Social Weather Stations (SWS) nga gipahigayon niadtong Nobyembre 27 hangtud Disyembre 1 sa 1,800 ka respondents.
Tungod niini, nikabat sa 25.4% ang unemployment rate average sa tuig 2014 nga mas taas kun itandi sa 25.2% niadtong 2013.
Base sa pagtuon sa maong survey firm, ang pagsaka sa jobless rate niadtong milabay nga duha ka tuig tungod na usab sa paghinay sa paglambo sa gross domestic product tungod sa miigong kalamidad sa nasud.
Bisan pa niini, migawas usab sa resulta sa maong survey nga 36% sa respondents ang positibong modaghan pa ang mag-abli og trabaho sa mosunod nga 12 ka buwan.
Samtang 20% usab ang miingon nga mokunhod ang available jobs ug 32% ang nagtuo nga walay mabag-o.
Migawas nga +16 ang net optimism on job availability sa mga Pinoy nga naa sa klasipikasyong “fair.” (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

During an employee performance recognition ceremony recently held in Manila, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Regional Director Asteria Caberte bagged the 2013 DTI Employee of the Year (Executive Level) over 9 other finalists.
In its System on Performance, Rewards and Incentives (SPRInts) Awards, Caberte and another DTI staff were shortlisted as finalists of the DTI SPRInts Awards and the regional director bagged the coveted award for year 2013.
Caberte, formerly DTI Bohol Provincial Director, assumed the Regional Officer after a well- deserved promotion years back. Like her notably well-performing stint in Bohol, her regional coverage allowed her a much greater responsibility, which she adeptly fitted herself in.
Caberte was cited for her excellent response to typhoon Yolanda by bringing Diskwento Caravan to disaster-hit areas in Bohol and in Leyte, during the earthquake and typhoon Yolanda.
Herself, a calamity victim, Caberte readily organized a DTI team to assess damage to the business environment in Bohol and in Leyte and, setting aside her damaged home, she led a discounts caravan to even up the playing field and monitor compliance of the consumer laws, to make basic commodities accessible to all.
“Her vigor and commitment in doing her job, belie the hardships she had gone through a few weeks after the storm,” and the earthquake which damaged her home”, her nomination paper to the SPRints Awards stated.
Moreover, her leadership has made DTI-Central Visayas among the best performing regional agencies in the country based on the over-all agency performance, DTI sources also revealed.
Caberte’s stint is rare in as much as the DTI, an agency comprised of over 2,000 employees, has shortlisted some 56 employees and executives with the best performance and behavioral ratings by an internal evaluation team.
The selection was based on the 9 core values of the trade industry agency, according to the same DTI sources.
A third party team composed of the Civil Service Commission, ISA, Career Service Executive Board, Commission on Audit and MetroBank Foundation evaluated the finalists, DTI said. (ends)

The very popular online game called DOTA for Defense of the Ancients, is now banned in baranggay Salawag, Dasmarinas, Cavite. The ban was implemented via Resolution 008-S-2015 dated January 5, 2015, issued by the Barangay Council of Salawag. DOTA is banned because of gambling among players and it has become the reason for trouble in Internet cafes.
On the article on Inquirer.Net, Salawag chief Enrico Paredes explained that they decided to ban Dota “after two teenagers were stabbed to death in their barangay over differences that supposedly stemmed from playing the game.”
The latest stabbing incident happened last November, he said.

MANILA, Jan. 22 (PIA)–Tungod sa posibleng pag-oktaba sa Kongreso sa Sangguniang Kabataan o SK Elections, gipagawas karong adlawa sa Commission on Elections (Comelec) ang usa ka resolusyon alang sa kasamtangang suspensiyon sa gun ban sulod sa 15 ka adlaw alang sa maong piniliay.
Matud pa ni COMELEC Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr., gi-suspenso una og 15 ka adlaw ang Comelec gun ban tungod kay posibleng magpalabang og resolusyon ang ubos balay balaoranan ug senado alang sa suspensiyon sa SK elections.
Giingong human sa 15 ka adlaw nga suspensiyon, mahatagan na og katin-awan kun madayon ba gyud ang SK elction karong tuiga o i-oktaba kini sa 2016.
Sugod na unta karong adlawa, Enero 22, ug molanat hangtud Marso 2 ning tuig ang election gun ban tungod sa gitakdang piniliay sa Pebrero 21.
Kahinumdoman nga gihangyo sa COMELEC ang pag-oktaba sa SK elections karong tuiga ug idungan na lamang kini sa barangay elections sa Oktubre 2016.
Gihangyo karon ni Brillantes nga tapuson una hangtud Oktubre 2016 ang Reform Bill aron maandam ang kabataan sa maong piniliay.
Giingong sayang usab ang pondong P1 bilyon alang sa SK kun matapos dayon ang termino sa molingkod nga mga opisyal sa SK sa Oktubre 2016.
Gawas niini, gi-angkon usab ni Brillantes nga kulang sila sa pagpakatap sa information campaign sa tibuok nasud nga nagdala og kalibog sa kadaghanan. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

The Palace on Thursday expressed confidence that the country would be able to hit its gross domestic product (GDP) target of 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent.
Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. told reporters during the daily press briefing that the target is attainable, contrary to forecasts made by some economists.
“Our focus is on attaining the targets of the Philippine Development Plan, which is a range of 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent GDP growth per annum. So, while we listen with respect to views expressed by other parties, our commitment is to implement the needed programs in accordance with the objectives of the Philippine Development Plan and we would like to attain those objectives,” he said.
He was commenting on forecasts made by economists during a forum held by Ateneo de Manila University that the country is likely to achieve a GDP of only 5.7 percent to 6.5 percent.
Last year, the Philippines attained a GDP of 7.2 percent. (PCOO/PIA)
