How to get a DOLE Certification for up to P20, 000 SSS Unemployment Benefit?

All employees, including Maid and OFWs, covered by the mangroves insurance grant or involuntary separation benefit are required to obtain Certification of Involuntary Separation from Department of Labor and Employment-DOLE, based on Circular No. 2009-011 of Philippine Social Security System.

Here are the requirements and processes of getting DOLE certification for your knowledge
For more information read Department Circular No. 1, series of 2019, on DOLE website: https://www.dole.gov.ph/news/department-circular-no-1-19-guidelines-on-the-issuance-of-dole-certification-as-a-requirement-for-application-for-payment-of-unemployment-insurance-or-involuntary-separation-benefit/


Filipinos need solutions to health and economic crisis, not death by any means

https://manilabuzz.blogspot.com

The lack of formidable healthcare and decisive economic recovery plan will surely lead us to death, if not thru Covid-19, then by hunger. And if you rise to complain, maybe thru the anti-terrorism law or under the revived death penalty law as proposed by the President in yesterday’s State of the Nation Address.

Death penalty is the least that people should hear at the time they were facing real death and hunger in this time of the pandemic.

What we need are solid guarantees to our constitutional rights. What the country urgently needs are laws and measures that would address joblessness, loss of incomes and economic recession.

A death penalty imposed in the manner law enforcers disrespect human rights even during a mass inside the Quiapo Church is something to worry about as justice, we believe, is better served with fairness and compassion rather than by coercion.

If the President and his minions are still clueless on how we can get out of the current pandemic and ensuing economic crisis that we have right now, then they should not threaten the people further with more acts of killing. This nation needs more signs of life, not more death on the horizon.

The economy likewise needs a new breath of life not from the failed free market but from the state itself. The Bayanihan 2, with its measly fund of less than P200 billion, is clearly inadequate to weather the worst economic recession that we and the whole world are facing.

This glaring lack of a bold yet feasible plan, we are afraid, will surely lead us to more deaths. And that is criminal neglect on the part of the government itself. Now, who wants death imposed upon himself?

Finally, pursuing a better normal under a whole nation approach will never be possible with the government imposing restrictions to union’s democratic participation in governance, which to us, is the worst form of social distancing.

DI NIYO BA NARIRINIG?

100 Images of Insects Taken Under Electron Microscope



Doctor badly needed O+ Plasma from COVID-19 survivors to help her survive, please call 0917 805 3207

If anyone of you know a covid survivor willing to help someone on the edge of a covid death, here is a message fro this very sick doktora now intubated, prone in PGH:

Forwarded message.

Our sister, Karen, has the Gift of Healing. Napakahilig po ng Ate ko (Kathlynne Anne Abat-Senen) sa mga bata which is why she chose to be a Neonatal Pediatrician. Every Saturday, sa dinner table at our eldest sister's house, ang dami niyang stories about her experiences, pero ang laging theme ng stories ay kung paano niya ipinaglalabang MABUHAY ang bawat pasyente niya. Para sa kanya, siya ay isa lamang Instrument ng Panginoon, at ang bawat sanggol na ipinagkatiwala sa kanya ay mga pagpapa-alala ng pagmamahal sa atin ng Diyos, pagkat bawat bata ay Blessing. Kahit gaano ka-kritikal ang lagay ng isang bata o sanggol, pag si Dra. Senen ang may hawak niyan, siguradong nasa mabuting kamay ang buhay ng bata na iyan. Bilang professor sa UP College of Medicine, hindi din siya naging madamot na mentor sa mga nagnanais tumugon sa vocation ng medisina. Kahit sa gitna ng hapunan, tanghalian, basta nag-ring ang phone niya, lagi niya itong sasagutin. She is that dedicated to her profession, her vocation.

Kaya kahit pa man pumutok ang pandemya na ito, tuloy pa din sa pagtingin sa pasyente ang aking Ate. Sabi niya, "Kung hindi tayo, sino?" Tandang-tanda ko ang linya na niya yan. "Matapang, Matalino, Walang Takot Kahit Kanino". Yan ang Ate ko. Sabi nga ni Lean, "In the line of fire is the place of honor."

Ngayon, siya po ay nasa ICU dahil sa COVID 19, nakikipaglaban para mabuhay, nakikipaglaban para sa kanyang asawa at dalawang anak. She is in desperate need of O+ Plasma from COVID-19 survivors to help her live. If you know any willing donors, please have them contact Dra. Sandy Maganito of UP PGH at 0917 805 3207 and indicate that its for Dra. Karen Abat-Senen. You can also help by spreading this call for donors by sharing this post. Marami pong Salamat sa lahat ng Dasal.

THE ABS/CBN FRANCHISE DECISION: ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS DICTATORSHIP!

https://manilabuzz.blogspot.com

The 70-11 vote of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Franchises to refuse the renewal of the license of ABS/CBN was a foregone conclusion. The so-called hearings served merely as a show trial to provide a semblance of legitimacy to President Rodrigo Duterte’s prior decision to shut down the network while allowing him the sadistic pleasure of watching his gallery of congressional rogues trying to outperform one another in doing his bidding.




Duterte’s congressional subordinates tried to make it appear that the ABS-CBN case was a matter of the network’s violating terms of its license. Laban ng Masa does not believe that either private monopoly or state monopoly of the media serves the public interest. However, it was clear from the very beginning that Duterte’s only motivation in refusing the license renewal was its being critical of his policies and refusal to bend to his wishes.

Laban ng Masa had earlier proposed the alternative of workers’ control of the network under a renewed license, which would have been the best way to promote the people’s interest. We categorically submit that workers’ control and self-management remains a viable and truly democratic option that is an existing reality in many parts of the world today. It has been implemented in Spain, England, the U.S., Argentina, Indonesia, India, and the Philippines, to name a few. The refusal of the president’s attack dogs to even consider this showed that their advocacy of the public interest was simply a smokescreen for the Duterte gang’s objective of gaining total control of the media..

Along with the conviction of Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and former Rappler researcher Reynaldo Santos, Jr., of cyberlibel, the non-renewal of the ABS/CBN license makes it crystal clear that Duterte intends to do away with freedom of the press. Malacanang’s message to all media practitioners and owners is unambiguous: any criticism will be met with the full force and fury of the Duterte state.

Freedom of expression is one principle of democracy that is being assaulted here. But it is not the only one.

With the Ressa-Santos judicial conviction and the House’s ABS/CBN franchise decision, we are seeing the last nails being driven into the coffin of the separation of powers. It is highly unlikely that a Supreme Court filled with Duterte supporters will have the courage to reverse decisions ordered by their boss.

These two assaults on fundamental democratic principles must also be seen in the context of Duterte’s recent signing into law of the Anti-Terrorism Bill, which sets up a body that can arbitrarily designate anyone as a “terrorist” and empowers state agents to arrest that person without any warrant of arrest and keep her or him in isolation for 24 days before delivering that person to the judicial authorities. The Anti-Terrorism Act simply legalizes the murder of the principle of due process, which has already been violated repeatedly and brazenly in the extra-judicial execution of thousands of people suspected of using drugs.

The Duterte regime began its reign four years ago with a massive, bloody assault of executions in the streets that shocked and awed the country. Now it is in “mopping up phase,” that is, of legally murdering the liberal democratic principles enshrined in the 1987 Constitution. The country is now firmly in transition from a de facto dictatorship with democratic trappings to a full-fledged dictatorship.

Despite these brazen moves to kill democracy, Laban ng Masa is confident that even though significant numbers of our compatriots are still blinded by Duterte’s false image as someone promoting the national interest, the Filipino people will eventually see the dangerous journey to a total dictatorship on which he is leading them and realize that resistance is the only option.

Laban ng Masa pledges its allegiance to that Resistance to dictatorial rule that is growing and calls on all to stop Duterte’s abominable design to return the country to the yoke of one-man rule.

RESIST DICTATORSHIP! RESIST DUTERTE!
