POEA-Caraga warns public vs illegal recruiters

By Robert E. Roperos

BUTUAN CITY, June 6 (PIA) – The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) in Caraga region has reiterated their call to the public against illegal recruiters.

According to POEA-Caraga Regional Director Marietta Bellotindos, illegal recruitment is still proliferating at present.

She thus reminded those who wish to work abroad to be vigilant on the actions undertaken by these illegal recruiters.

The official also said should they have knowledge of illegal recruiters in any place in the region; they should get in touch with their office.

Bellotindos assured that government authorities will do everything to stop these illegal activities.

She further stressed that to avoid being victimized by these recruiters, interested applicants must verify the legality of the recruitment agencies’ operation through their office.

The director said they have a complete list of legal recruitment agencies for reference.

Meanwhile, POEA has come up with other tips to prevent illegal recruitment.

First, the agency emphasized not to apply at recruitment agencies not licensed by POEA.

Second, the public is also urged not to deal with licensed agencies without job orders, with any person who is not an authorized representative of a licensed agency, and not to transact business outside the registered address of the agency. If recruitment is conducted in the province, check if the agency has a provincial recruitment authority.

POEA also pointed out not pay more than the allowed placement fee. It should be equivalent to one-month salary, exclusive of documentation and processing costs.

Also, applicants are advised not pay any placement fee unless they have a valid employment contract and an official receipt. Further, the agency advised them (applicant) not to be enticed by ads or brochures requiring you to reply to a Post Office (P.O.) Box, and to enclose payment for processing of papers.

Furthermore, POEA reminded the applicants not to deal with training centers and travel agencies, which promise overseas employment; not to accept a tourist visa, and not to deal with fixers. (RER/PIA-Caraga)

Garbage volume in Butuan City decreases significantly

By Robert E. Roperos

BUTUAN CITY, June 6 (PIA) -– Interior and Local Government City Director Romeo Solis today reported that garbage collection here has decreased significantly.

The DILG chief of the city said this is the result of the successful massive campaign of the city government, especially in the implementation of its solid waste management system, through the “Clean Ground, Zero Waste” program under the leadership of Mayor Ferdinand Amante Jr.

Part of the routine activity of the program is the regular garbage collection conducted by the city government in every barangay, where residents are advised to segregate the biodegradable from the non-biodegradable garbage.

Solis also said the project has drawn support from the barangay level where barangay health workers helped in the advocacy of segregating biodegradable from non-biodegradable garbage.

Aside from the barangay health workers, the official day care workers also helped in disseminating to parents and schoolchildren pertinent information related to the project.

Solis added the city government has installed a Barangay Ecological Solid Waste Committee to monitor the activities conducted by each barangay on the implementation of the said program.

The city government formally launched the Clean Ground, Zero Waste Program on September 11, 2011, in time for the tenth year anniversary celebration of the 9-11 terror attack at the World Trade Center, USA, killing at least 3,000 people.

The program was initiated to facilitate social transformation processes among residents to manifest the desired behavior of segregating waste at source, cleaning the surroundings and converting wastes into money.

It also facilitates massive conversion of waste into organic fertilizers (biodegradables) by the organic fertilizer production facilities and useful materials (non-biodegradables).

The program elements and approaches include: a) Awarding of Clean Seals as a behavior change strategy to households, puroks, barangay, classrooms, stall, business establishments; b) Deployment of Eco Marshalls to barangays; c) Mobilization of existing community volunteers and employ CD strategies; d) Waste conversion to organic fertilizers (with national, regional and local policy and financial back-up). Setting up of CB Organic Fertilizer Production Facilities and Faith gardens; e) Convergence and multi-sector mobilization; f) Integration with other community “felt” concerns (dengue, anti-rabies campaign); and g) Meaningful community participation and massive community actions.

The program is fully supported by all government regional offices based in this city spearheaded by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) as the Secretariat of the Regional Development Council (RDC) in Caraga. (RER/PIA-Caraga)

He said that the DENR likewise is checking reports that these illegal logs were bought at cheap price from individual indigenous people by the log smugglers in that area.

Nevertheless, Sibbaluca said the DENR operatives, following a tip from a concerned individual, have made a two-week surveillance operations in that river towns until the “hot logs” were seized at the Agusan River.

He said that the moratorium on the cutting and harvesting of timber in natural and residual forest under Executive Order No. 23 issued by President Benigno S. Aquino II on February 2, 2011 is still very much in effect.

The DENR top official commended City Mayor Ferdinand M. Amante, Jr. for extending his all-out support to the operations.

Sibbaluca said that this was the result of a previous arrangement made between the local executive and the DENR top officials that they will join hands to stop the illegal logging activities in the region.

OIC PENR Officer Belo Udarbe and CENR Officer Vicente S. Sembrano of CENRO Nasipit, Agusan del Norte have supervised the scaling of the confiscated logs to determine the volume. (NCLM/DENR-13/PIA-Caraga)
