But after complying with the requirements and paying the necessary fees to process my application, my recruitment agency failed to deploy me. I tried to get ...

As provided in the afore-mentioned law and jurisprudence, the failure to reimburse documentation and processing expenses incurred by the applicant in case of non-deployment would make the recruitment agency liable for illegal recruitment. There was thus no genuine effort on the part of Green Pastures and Rios to comply with the law and immediately reimburse the complainants for all their documentation and processing expenses after they were not deployed for work abroad." She knew, or ought to have known, of the failure to deploy the applicants without their fault and the need to reimburse their documentation and placement fees. Despite this, Rios and Green Pastures did not reimburse the applicants, prompting the latter to file the present cases. The law thus makes it incumbent upon recruitment agencies, under pain of criminal sanction, to promptly reimburse applicants when they are not deployed without their fault, as it is the agency itself that knows of the schedule of deployment, persons to be deployed, failure to deploy, and the reasons therefor. Molina, the Court convicted the president of the recruitment agency under Section 6(m) of RA 8042.

It argues that the decision to ban the importation of onions did not benefit farmers, considering that the decision was made during the off-season, when most of the stocks were already in the hands of traders. Filipinos can perhaps take comfort in the irony of it all and again turn this into a meme. Later, DA Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban was reported to have declared that there would be no importation of onion after all, in anticipation of the upcoming harvest in January to February. The general sentiment is that importation would be detrimental to local onion farmers. He is considering using seized smuggled onions to make up for the shortfall, which is ironic because for all intents and purposes smuggled onions are technically imported, albeit without proper papers. Imee Marcos, advising the DA to be mindful of its possible adverse effects on local farmers. What is clear is that the Department of Agriculture (DA) assured us at the onset of the lean months in June that we had about 689 percent of expected demand covered which came from the March harvest. The Marcos administration, of which President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The Philippine Statistics Authority also reported that onion production in 2021 declined by 11,000 metric tons compared to that of 2020. It has been reported that the total land area devoted to onion production in 2021 was lower at 19,300 hectares compared to 19,600 hectares in 2019, this according to Statista. Typical of Filipinos who have this endless talent for converting tragic events into comedy, memes turning the onion debacle into a parody proliferated and burgeoned in the internet. This happens at a time when we have to deal with exorbitantly expensive onions in the market, enough to drive many of us to feel like committing murder because it practically renders us P700 a kilogram poorer.

The fact that the N-word survives to this day is an act of redemption by Black people. Black American culture is seen as a commodity, as something that is 'cool,' but often non-Black Americans don't understand the history and the nuance of our culture." The N-word survives under the conditions that they have inscribed for it, and we must respect those conditions. "People who use the N-word in the Philippines seem to do it because they think it is cool. When you see Black American culture as a commodity, it allows this type of disassociation to occur." When I moved to the Philippines in 2015, one major culture shock I experienced was hearing the N-word being tossed around so carelessly and casually among young Filipinos.

As best as can be distilled from the numerous explanations provided so far by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), the Manila International ...

That is because it is a non-issue; it is legally impossible according to the country's own laws, and even if that wasn't the case, doing so would lead to an incredibly complicated and costly certification problem with external organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), whose regulations and standards serve as a benchmark for most of the rest of the world. The only part of air traffic control that would be affected at all by privatization of the NAIA would be the airport's own tower; even then, the facilities and personnel would remain under the direct supervision of the CAAP and not the airport management, whoever that might be. And all that doesn't even begin to address the thorny national security issues that would arise from such a move. And why would the government be willing to cause the country to be the subject of embarrassing global headlines and incur billions in losses from interrupted passenger and air freight movements? The head of one influential business group said that the incident indicated that privatizing the airport is not a good idea, as "the private sector is not foolproof," apparently unaware of the irony that it was a government operation that was responsible for his flight home from Dubai being delayed. That of course fried everything, leading to a complete shutdown of Philippine airspace for almost 10 hours on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
