Group urges Philhealth to order accredited hospitals to honor OEC as proof; calls Aquino administration, DOH, OWWA to act

Citing several complaints from overseas Filipino workers and their kin, a migrant rights group today urges the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Philhealth), a government-run health insurance institution, to order its accredited hospitals to honor an OFW’s Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) as proof of membership.

“We have been receiving complaints from fellow OFWs and their families in the Philippines that Philhealth-accredited hospitals are requiring them proof of membership to obtain from Philhealth despite presentation of their OEC. There is a valid ground on this complaint,” said John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.

Monterona explained that in the OEC the payment of Philhealth premium, OWWA membership fee, and the newly required PAG-IBIG premium plus the processing fee are all indicated as it serves as a receipt.

“To note that this is a government-issued receipt, then it could well be accepted as proof of Philhealth membership or even OWWA membership as well PAG-IBIG membership. Not to accept this as a proof of OFWs membership to government-service agencies is a gross mistake, if not totally disregarding our OFWs legitimacy to avail government services which in fact they have paid,” Monterona added.

Monterona also calls on the Aquino administration through the DoLE-OWWA and the Department of Health to sort this issue with Philhealth management as soon as possible.

Monterona lamented that when it comes to imposing additional fees and charges “mabilis pa sa alas kuwatro; pero kung pagbibigay ng serbisyo aabutin na lang ng kamatayan ang OFW at pamilya nila sa dami ng pasikot-sikot.”

Meanwhile, Monterona also said that his group is still has a pending complaint to Philhealth regarding its policy of increasing OFW members premium from P900 to P1,200 to take effect by next month.

Late last year, the Philhealth Board issued Circular No.022 imposing a 150% hike in health yearly premiums of OFWs from the current P900 to become P2,400.00

The premium hike faced strong opposition from various OFWs organizations under the banner of Migrante International questioning the legality of the premium hike as it violates the Migrant Workers Act of 2010 or RA 10022 and there were no consultations conducted among various OFWs groups abroad.

On January this year, Migrante-Middle East kicked off an online signature drive (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/no-to-philhealth-premium-increase-scrap-circular/), which gathered wide support from OFWs and their families.

Due to OFWs strong opposition, the Philhealth Board issued Circular 007, S.2012 on Feb.21 amending Circular 022. It said that the annual premium contribution of OFWs shall be P1,200 effective January 1, 2012 and will become P2,400 effective January 1, 2013.

Reacting to this, Monterona noted that there is still an increase, from the previous P900 to P1,200, which will become P2,400 by January 1, 2013.

“Every time the government or any of its welfare agencies say it wanted to improve its services to stakeholders there is a corresponding increase on premium hikes, though we could only see later that there was no improvement at all on its services and programs,” Monterona lamented.

Monterona also scored the Philhealth for requiring Balik Mangagawa or vacationing OFWs to sign a policy contract in the issuance of their Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) to avail the special ‘lock-in’ rate of P1,200 premium per year which will expire by next year and automatically will become P2,400 by January 2013.

“Because we are required to get an OEC and the payment of our Philhealth premium is attached to it, we are forced now to pay P1,200 for our health premium. Thus, we are urging our fellow OFWs especially those Balik-Mangagawa to write the word ‘Under Protest’ on their OEC(see attached sample) to manifest our on-going opposition on this unjustified premium hikes,” Monterona added.

Migrante-ME reiterate its call on Pres. Aquino III to instruct his health dept. secretary not to implement any premium increase and stop imposing additional burden to OFWs and families amid high inflation and worsening economic condition.

“We want to hear this from the President during his State of the Nation Address and make clear that no other imposition of fees and charges will be imposed to OFWs and their families under his term, among other OFWs demands that so far he failed to act,” Monterona concluded.

M-ME on Manila solon withdrawal of a bill imposing additional $25 to every OFWs

Press Statement

25 June 2012

M-ME on Manila solon withdrawal of a bill imposing additional $25 to every OFWs

We welcome the withdrawal of the bill imposing additional $25 for every OFWs by Rep. Bonoan-David. 

We hope that the lesson brought by this controversy sounds clear and good to our lawmakers: That prior to filing a proposed law, there must be proper consultation among stakeholders and the affected sectors. In this case, these are the OFWs and dependents. Any legislation must be thoroughly studied, not just for politicking and earning 'pogi' points.

Secondly, the withdrawal is a clear victory for the progressive movement of OFWs around the world. The campaign against HB6195 would not succeed without the wide support of the OFWs and their dependents.

We convey our Congratulations to all OFWs and their organization that supported Migrante-Middle East in spearheading the successful campaign against HB6195.

Manila Congresswoman to withdraw bill imposing additional $25 to OFWs amid worldwide protest

Manila Congresswoman to withdraw bill imposing additional $25 to OFWs amid worldwide protest –OFW group

Officers/members of OFW Join Force-Migrante Eastern Region, Saudi Arabia held an indoor protest against Rep. Bonoan-David's HB6195

Migrante-Middle East (M-ME), a migrants’ rights group, which recently spearheaded a campaign against a proposed law by a Manila Congresswoman imposing an additional $25 on top of the existing mandatory $25 membership fee on every departing overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) today said Manila Representative Ma. Theresa Bonoan-David conveyed through her staff that she is withdrawing her bill, but declined to accept the invitation sent by Migrante to discuss the matter.

The lady solon from Manila filed House Bill 6195 seeking to double OFW’s contribution to the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration from $25 to $50 per contract.

On Saturday, OFW groups headed by Migrante-Middle East protested and staged a campaign against it saying that it is anti-OFW and just an added burden to already overburdened OFWs.

“Rep. Bonoan-David proposal is ill-advised. She may be misinformed because the issue is not about lack of funds. The OFWs trust funds held in trust to OWWA is now about P13-B and is earning, and yet the OWWA does not have enough programs and welfare services to OFWs and their dependents including the proper use of its Emergency Repatriation fund,” said John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.

“The OWWA has not been transparent on the real status of the OFWs trust fund and where it is being spent,” Monterona averred.

Monterona continued that such proposal is clearly an anti-OFW. “For one, it is just an added burden to already overburdened OFWs. The proposal is also against the mandate of the Migrant Workers Act of 2010 or RA10022.”

“Instead of imposing additional fees or charges upon our heavy shoulders, considering the huge contribution of OFWs in terms of yearly remittances posting to $1.7-B on April 3 to 4 percentage point higher than the same month of last year, Rep. Bonoan-David must give up and volunteer to channel her millions of pork barrel allocation to OWWA’s emergency repatriation fund,” Monterona challenging Rep. Bonoan-David.

He added that pro-OFW lawmakers should do the same.

Monterona said Migrante International chairperson Gary Martinez conveyed to them that he called up the office of Rep. Bonoan-David to set a dialogue.

“Migrante Intl. chairperson was able to talk to a staff of Rep. Bonoan-David. According to her staff, Rep. Bonoan-David declined the invitation but is thinking of withdrawing the bill after she has realized that she was ill-advised,” Monterona quoting information from Migrante International official in Manila.

Monterona said that his group along with other OFW groups and the Filipino communities abroad would like to tell our law makers and the present administration to stop thinking that our OFWs are source of easy-money for the government to exploit.

“We hate that we, OFWs, are merely treated as milking cows or geese that lay a golden egg, which we are not. This mentality by the government must be rejected,” Monterona added.

Monterona added his group will continue to collectively oppose and expose any unnecessary and unjustified imposition of government fees and additional charges against OFWs. “The reported withdrawal of Rep. Bonoan-David bill is a result of the collective action of OFWs groups around the world.”

“In fact, imposing unnecessary and unjustified fee is against the mandate of the amended Migrant Workers Act of 2010 or R.A. 10022,” Monterona concluded. # # #

‘Sneaking unemployed Filipinos to Syria a test on government anti-illegal recruitment drive’

Press Release

18 June 2012

‘Sneaking unemployed Filipinos to Syria a test on government anti-illegal recruitment drive’

Thus, said today by a Filipino migrant rights group leader referring to the reported continued deployment of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to Syria, which is believed by some political and security analyst is on the verge of a civil war.

“The turmoil in Syria has taught the Philippine government, which is a top labor-exporting country, lots of lessons. For one is to develop a well prepared and well planned evacuation and repatriation efforts of OFWs mostly undocumented. Now, it is putting the PH government anti-illegal recruitment drive on test amid continued deployment of OFWs to Syria,” said John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.

Monterona added it goes without saying that OFWs could not possibly sneaked out the country to head for Syria desperately seeking for job without the help of unscrupulous recruiters in cahoots of corrupt government officials in the labor department specifically in the POEA and immigration bureau.

“We first exposed the continued illegal deployment of OFWs to Syria sometime late part of last year, thereby calling the Aquino administration to intensify its drive against illegal recruitment activities and human smuggling,” Monterona adding that neighboring countries like UAE, Qatar, and even Singapore were used as an entry point going to Syria.

Monterona confirmed that not only in Syria; in countries where there is an existing ‘no deployment’ policy imposed by the PH govt. such as in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan, OFWs continued to sneaked out of the country courtesy of illegal recruiters and human smugglers.

“While the Aquino administration warned our fellow OFWs and aspiring alike not to be swayed to go to Syria for work, it should also intensify its drive against illegal recruitment activities and send them behind bars. Most importantly, the Aquino administration must seriously create local jobs with decent pay and benefits,” Monterona opined.

“By all indication, the Aquino administration is not serious enough or only do lip service in solving the country’s problem of forced migration because there is money in a form of remittances coming in the country of about 10 percent to 12% yearly that is keeping the economy afloat,” Monterona ended. # # #

OFWs say no to ‘$50 additional fee for repatriation fund’ proposal

Press Release

OFWs say no to ‘$50 additional fee for repatriation fund’ proposal

The overseas Filipino workers group Migrante-Middle East (M-ME) today voiced out its strong opposition on the proposed bill by a Manila Congresswoman imposing an additional fee of $50 that is aimed to sustain the government’s emergency repatriation funds.

Local reports said Representative Ma. Theresa Bonoan-David seeks to amend the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 2010 or RA 10022 by imposing $50 from every departing OFWs to boost up OWWA Emergency repatriation Fund.

“Rep. Bonoan-David proposal is ill-advised. She may be misinformed because the issue is not about lack of funds. The OFWs trust funds held in trust to OWWA is now about P13-B and is earning, and yet the OWWA does not have enough programs and welfare services to OFWs and their dependents including the proper use of its Emergency Repatriation fund,” said John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.

“The OWWA has not been transparent on the real status of the OFWs trust fund and where it is being spent,” Monterona averred.

Monterona continued that such proposal is clearly an anti-OFW. “For one, it is just an added burden to already overburdened OFWs. The proposal is also against the mandate of the Migrant Workers Act of 2010 or RA10022."

“Instead of imposing additional fees or charges upon our heavy shoulders, considering the huge contribution of OFWs in terms of yearly remittances posting to $1.7-B on April 3 to 4 percentage point higher than the same month of last year, Rep. Bonoan-David must give up and volunteer to channel her millions of pork barrel allocation to OWWA’s emergency repatriation fund,” Monterona challenging Rep. Bonoan-David.

He added that pro-OFW lawmakers should do the same.

Monterona said upon learning about such proposal, they have consulted their officers and came up with a position to oppose it and will strongly campaign against its passage in Congress.

“We through our Migrante International leaders in Manila might seek a dialog with Rep. Bonoan-David to hear our side and position. If she will insist, then we have no choice but to intensify our campaign against her proposal and we might campaign not to vote her in the 2013 Congressional election as she will vie for reelection,” Monterona added.

Monterona said that his group has been very vocal to the Aquino government about imposing unjustified and unnecessary fees and charges as an added burden on the already overburdened OFWs.

“In fact, this is one of the many challenges that we put forward to the Aquino administration –to stop imposing additional fees and charges. We hope that Vice-President Jejomar Binay, also presidential adviser on OFWs concern, is on our side as we have heard him several times issuing statements against additional unnecessary fees and charges overburdening our OFWs,” Monterona added.

“We advise Rep. Bonoan-David to drop her anti-OFW proposal of imposing $50 to every OFWs. We are not milking cows. We will campaign against her anti-OFW bill,” Monterona ended. # # #

2 years after, kin of slain OFW still cries for justice

Press Release

15 June 2012

2 years after, kin of slain OFW still cries for justice

(Photo: Migrante-ME signature drive/campaign seeking Justice for Ibanez and other OFW victims)

‘Justice is still elusive’, thus said the sister of an overseas Filipino worker who was allegedly murdered in her employer’s house on September 2010 in Saudi Arabia.

On June 14, 2012, Mira Ibanez, sister of slain OFW Romelyn Eroy Ibanez, sent an electronic mail to Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator John Leonard Monterona asking an update on the status of the reinvestigation on the mysterious death of her sister.

On September 2, OFW Romelyn Ibanez was rushed to the hospital after a staff of Red Crescent found her allegedly at the kitchen of her employer’s house, soaked with her own blood, in Al-Khobar. Hours later she was pronounced dead by the hospital’s attending physicians.

The cause of her death: acid ingestion with several stab wounds based on the medical report initially released by the hospital’s attending physician. But this finding was later contradicted by a police report stating that she had committed suicide.

“Peace be with you. Ako po ang sister ni Ms. Romelyn Ibanez na namatay last 2010 sa Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Gusto lang namin malinawan kung ano na ang nangyari sa reinvestigation ng case ng sister ko?”, Mira Ibanez on her email to M-ME’s Monterona.

“I was shocked and disgusted upon reading the email of Mira as she told me that even the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration in North Cotabato and the Department of Foreign Affairs regional office could not give an update when asked by them on the status of the reinvestigation,” said Monterona.

Mira continued on her email to Monterona: “Lumapit ako sa OWWA para tanungin sila pero wala silang information na maibigay sa akin. Napakalaki po ng file ng sister ko duon, ang dami ng mga papel pero sa tuwing duon ako wala man lang makapagpaliwanag sa amin kung bakit wala silang update sa amin ukol sa case nya (referring to her sister Romelyn)”.

A Philippine Embassy official in Riyadh, according to Monterona during a discussion over the phone sometime November 2010, confirmed that the PH embassy filed a case seeking to reinvestigate the death of OFW Ibanez. The same was conveyed to the Ibanez family months before OFW Ibanez cadaver was repatriated on September 2011, a year after she was murdered.

“Baka nga hindi na eto pina-follow up at tinulugan na lamang ng PH embassy sa Riyadh,” Monterona mumbled adding “ina-antay pa cguro na kalampagin sila”.

Last month, Migrante International along with actress Jodi Sta. Maria and actor Allen Dizon, lead stars of ‘Migrante’, The Filipino diaspora film, called on the Aquino govt. to initiate an independent investigation on the mysterious death of OFW Teril Atienza in Mongolia and seek for justice.

Migrante International cited the autopsy report by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) that OFW Atienza’s cause of death is “probably secondary to hypertensive cardiovascular disease due to a stabbing incident” contradicting the initial autopsy reports from Mongalia finding that OFW Atienza died of “severe intoxication from an unknown source.” 

Monteorna confirmed that Migrante chapters in the Middle East constantly receiving reports of OFWs who died under questionable and vague circumstances on an average of 2 cases every month.

“The figure is based on the combined reports from our Migrante chapters in the Middle East citing local news reports and from the kin of the OFWs who have sought our assistance,” Monterona added.

Monterona clarified the figure that they’ve got does not include those reported to various Philippine diplomatic posts.

“We are quite certain there were other cases of ‘mysterious’ deaths reported to the PH embassies and consulates and its satellite offices,”Monterona averred.

                  

He added that most of the victims are household service workers or popularly known as domestic helpers.

Monterona cited previous unresolved cases Migrante-ME has documented:

-       OFW Rowena Peremne Arceo, 33, from Cordillera province, mysterious death, died October 22, 2008 in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia; unsolved case.

-       OFW Joy Cabansi Sarto, 28, from Echague, Isabela province, murdered by her Arab employer on Sept.22, 2009; unsolved case.

-       OFW Laura (not her real name), 33, from Ilagan, Isabela, rape victim allegedly took place on Dammam, Saudi Arabia on October 1, 2009; unsolved case.

-       OFW Eugenia Baja, 24, passport holder SS0428627, initial reports said she committed suicide, but based on the autopsy later issued revealed that Baja bore stab wounds and bruises; unsolved case.

-       OFW Clair (not her real name), on her mid-20, from Lagawe, Ifugao, gang raped by Arabs at her employer’s house sometime in Feb.2007; unsolved case

-       OFW Analyn De Pena, 33, from Old Sta. Mesa, Manila allegedly committed suicide sometime in November 2009, but the family believed there is foul play on her death; unsolved case.

-       OFW Marilou Macam Ating, 37, from Lingayen, Pangasinan, sketchy reports reaching the family that subject died after she fell from the fourth floor of her employer’s residence. Family believed there is foul play leading to her death on November 24, 2008; unsolved case.

-       OFW Romilyn Eroy-Ibanez, 22, Kidapawan, Cotabato, was found soaked on her own blood on September 1, 2010 and was rushed to the hospital in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Hours later, she was pronounced dead due to several stab wounds and acid ingestion. Update: no case has been filed yet due to no police reports obtained by the PHL embassy.

-       Based on Migrante chapter in the United Arab Emirates sent to John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator sometime on April 2009, its records showed that from February to August 2009, the Migrante chapter in Dubai has already recorded seven cases of mysterious death. These include cases of OFW Roderick Miranda who reportedly hanged himself on February 4; OFW Norayda Ayuman who reportedly jumped from the 7th floor of a building on February 6; OFW Jeffrey Alberto So who reportedly jumped from the 3rd floor of a building on June 13; and OFW Evelyn Lilo who allegedly jumped from a building on August 10; these cases are considered unsolved.

He noted that the past months, Migrante-ME also received reports of OFW’s deaths in Kuwait, Jordan, and Syria.

Monterona said amid these numerous unsolved OFWs deaths the Aquino administration and concerned agencies seem not bothered and until now have done little or nothing at all to provide protection to our OFW-domestic workers.

Aside from knowing the status of these cases, Monterona said his group will be pressing the DFA to divulge all unsolved cases of OFWs and properly inform their respective families of the updates of the reinvestigation.

“Most importantly is to know what the PH embassies and consulates have done in providing protection to our OFWs,” Monterona averred.

Monterona noted even with Pres. Aquino’s tall order to provide assistance and protection to OFWs abroad during his inaugural speech, concerned govt. agencies such as DFA and its diplomatic posts, DoLE, OWWA and POEA are still in a lull and performed poorly in terms of providing assistance and protection to our OFWs.

‘PNoy’s Independence Day message to OFWs is all talk; forced migration not being addressed’

Press Release

9 June 2012

‘PNoy’s Independence Day message to OFWs is all talk; forced migration not being addressed’

Thus, said today by a progressive Filipino migrants’ rights group in reaction to the Independence Day message issued by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III who is now in Washington, USA meeting high-ranking Obama administration officials including the US president himself.

“More than tributes or praises and all talks, the millions of OFWs abroad need concrete protection from abuses, rampant labor malpractices, and provision of local social legislations recognizing OFWs inalienable rights in countries where they’re working especially in unpleasant and labor-repressive host countries,” said John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.

Monterona said PNoy is typically the same with Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and other ex-PH presidents. “They all say only sweet talks and all honor OFWs during Independence Day or Migrants Day celebrations as this sector helped keeping the local economy afloat through billion dollars of remittances sent to the Philippines.”

Monterona added the Aquino administration like the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo administration failed to seriously address the problem of forced migration. He noted the increasing numbers of Filipinos going abroad reaching to 4,500 daily from 3,000 since late 1990s and 2000s amid the increasing numbers of unemployed and underemployed Filipinos numbering to about 11-M as per NEDA latest figures.

“PNoy, like previous administrations, though he shortsightedly recognized the problem of forced migration, has been only issuing policy directives and marching orders to all concerned government agencies but without effect and concrete results, thus like a vicious cycle. Abuses, maltreatment, labor malpractices, human trafficking and illegal recruitment victimizing OFWs and would-be OFWs continue to persists,” Monterona noted.

The OFW leader mentioned specific issues that the Aquino govt. so far failed to act such as domestic workers not being protected by labor laws in most middle-eastern governments, need to end the sponsorship system by lobbying to the host governments, the deplorable situation of more than 3-M undocumented OFWs around the world.

“Unsurprisingly, with the economic thrust the Aquino govt. is geared in line with the dictates of his US imperialist masters to deepen the country into the quagmire of globalization, liberalization, deregulation, and denationalization to steadily exploit our country’s natural and human resources, then we, Filipinos, could not expect real change to happen. PNoy’s ‘Tuwid na daan’ is real farce,” Monterona ended. # # #

90K rials bank obligation holding sick OFW’s repatriation

Press Release

8 June 2012

OFW Tomas B. Barandon, 62-year old, on his ward at Hamad Medical Heart Center in Doha, Qatar

90K rials bank obligation holding sick OFW’s repatriation

A 62-year old overseas Filipino worker (OFW) could not come home and reunite with his loved ones because of an outstanding bank obligation amounting to 90,000 Qatari rials (roughly little more than P1-M), according to Filipino migrant rights group providing assistance to distress OFWs.

Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator John Leonard Monterona said OFW Tomas B. Barandon, 62-year old, of Taytay, Rizal province, conveyed to him during phone conversation his wish to be home and reunite with his family and relatives.

According to Monterona, OFW Barandon is presently confined at the Heart Center of Hamad Medical Hospital in Doha, Qatar.

“He was confined for treatment of health ailment. He’s old and is suffering from heart complications,” Monterona quoting OFW Barandon.

OFW Barandon has been working overseas since 1979. His first destination was in Iraq as a construction general foreman or supervisor.

In 2006, he was laid off from his job in Doha due to financial crisis. Since then he was not able to pay his bank loan base amount plus interest now reaching to 90,000 Qatari rials as he could not get a permanent job.

According to a Filipina nurse attending OFW Barandon in the hospital who has told the latter’s family that ‘his health condition is not getting any better and that if his repatriation is further delayed then they (Barandon’s family) may not see him alive.’ This prompted Anna, OFW Barandon’s daughter in the Philippines, to seek assistance from M-ME’s Monterona.

“Now I wonder where OWWA is?” Anna on her email to Monterona.

“I immediately endorse his case to OWWA care of Administrator Carmelita Dimzon asking her to call the attention of welfare officials in Doha to give utmost priority attending OFW Barandon’s situation and work for his immediate repatriation in coordination with the PH embassy’s assistance to the Nationals (ATN) section,” Monterona confirmed.

“OFW Barandon told me that according to an embassy official his travel documents such as passport and exit clearance issued by his sponsor are already ready but could not be issued a clearance from the bank due to his loan plus bloating interests,” Monterona added.

Monterona added the Philippine embassy officials in Doha should represent OFW Barandon with the bank officials where he has an obligation to pay and negotiate for deferment of paying his loan interests citing humanitarian consideration.

“Sabi ng POLO-OWWA ina-antay pa nila ang sagot ng Qatari Social welfare ministry na tutulong daw sakin,” OFW Barandon told Monterona.
