Protest against OEC

Militant groups express their displeasure over how the government has implemented OFW exemption from the need for the overseas employment certificate if they are returning to their employers after their vacation to the Philippines.

Their protest was held on Dec. 18, 2016 near the Admiralty office building of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office for Hong Kong.

Consul General Bernardita Catalla issues her Christmas 2016 message to Filipinos in Hong Kong:

Man charged for public assault on Filipina over debt dispute

Police have arrested and charged a 56-year-old South Asian man after he physically assaulted a Filipina domestic worker on a footbridge in Central last Sunday, Dec. 4, over a loan dispute.

Several Filipino domestic workers who were nearby managed to take video footage of the confrontation,

In the video, the man is seen shouting at the Filipina, then pulling her back as she tried to leave. Afterwards, he grabbed her by the neck, as if he would strangle her, but was stopped by the Filipinos congregating in the area.

The Filipina, 31, was subsequently taken to Queen Mary Hospital by police officers who responded to a 999 call. She was reportedly discharged after being declared in good condition.

A spokesperson for the Police Public Relations Bureau said her attacker was charged with debt collection and assault. He was released on bail but was ordered to report back to the police later this month.

According to some of the Filipinos who witnessed the incident which happened on the footbridge over Connaught Road, the assailant was incensed because the victim’s friends did not repay a loan for which she acted as a guarantor.

Two videos taken by one of the eyewitnesses are posted below:

Caroling for a cause

The Philippine Alliance Hong Kong has decided to make use of its members’ singing talents by going caroling to raise money for its various projects.

The group’s president, Aldrin Mas and chairman, Walter Melicor, led the singing at the launch of their novel fund-raising effort on Nov. 27. The first to be regaled with their singing prowess was Metrobank’s remittance branch at United Centre and the Philippine Consulate General in the same building. Mas said they will be going around business establishments in World Wide Plaza next.
