yung mga nurses so BPO companies ay dapat din hikayatin ng gobyerno na bumalik sa serbisyo offeran sila ng mas malaking sahod kysa sa current salaries nila

[netanskizelensky]

poea has no right to withhold medical professional to work in another countries.thats unconstitutional.this is a wake up call for the government to give imoortance to the medical field in terms of career and benefits.

[benyabasi]

Desperate times, desperate needs. Salute to health care workers who sacrifice for their country, truly they are heroes not only in the Philippines but all over the world.

[DC-sqbq]

For sure, like the other agencies of this admin who made sweeping orders, POEA will back track and make exemptions after realizing their stupidity in making decisions without studying its implications and consequences. They mean well, most definitely, however they're quite mentally impaired.

There was a huge surplus of nurses and nursing graduates across the country during the early 2010's and it was upsetting how the healthcare system, both public and private, took advantage of these young and vulnerable people desperate to start a career in the nursing field. I honestly felt that the government at that time wasn't helping enough; you even had to either have the money or connections just to work as a "volunteer". If you're lucky enough, you'll either get paid under or at the minimum wage. You'd deal with a lot of rejection not because you're unfit for the job, but because you don't have money or influence. On most occasions, they would neither confirm if you're hired or not and instead, have you "wait for the final results" which ran for several months. To put it bluntly, we were used as pawns by a corrupt system. I finally gave up and resorted to working as a customer service representative. It was a hard pill to swallow at first but I had a family to feed so who cares? Fast forward, 10 years later when most of the nurses have either finally flown abroad or found a different career path with far better opportunities, our own country has been facing a shortage of healthcare workers in the recent years. Well, this is the karma we knew was coming. To our rotten healthcare system: this is the karma you deserve. This is the karma that you've put upon yourselves but unfortunately, it's not the oligarchs nor the people up there who suffer...it's still at the expense of our fellow countrymen.

May contract sila let them go
Kung gusto niyong ban yong new recruitment
Kahit di niyo sila pina alis, you can’t force them to work

[donkissph]

after COVID19, wala na talagang matitirang nurse sa pinas

[mikeandrewcruz]

Bago maka pag renew ng PRC license ang mga nurses sa pinas kailangan ng 24 units na CPD. Paano yan nagka COVID19? Uunahin pa ba ang CPD o serbisyong publiko.

[popoydamus]

Hingi kayo ng tulong kay Cynthia Villar. "room nurse"

[JN-R]

I dont think naman na magvovolunteer sila tulad ng gusto ng gobyerno dahil lang pinigilan silang makaalis. Haha. Ang luwag ng mga BPO continious ang hiring ngayon kahit may covid work from home pa lol.. Majority ng nurses ng Pilipinas andun. At least 40-70k sahod hindi na masama habang naghihintay sila malift yang ban na yan kesa naman sa volunteer with 500 pesos allowance na inooffer ng DOH. Ang lakas makainsulto susme

[lesterlugtu]

Lol.
8k php versus 200k-300k php monthly.
Tabi muna ang pgiging makabayan talaga..

[ersg]

Nakakaawa ang Health workers naten, Mababa na sahod kulang pa benefits. Hnd naten sila masisi if gusto umalis. Bkot ba mas mahal pa sahod ng Gov.officials kaysa saknila na naglilista sa mga tao? Sana its about time na bigyan sila ng nararapat or higit pa sa dapat nila makuha kasi hnd biro ang work nila. Isanh bagay na lang ang magpapastay sknila, Ang will nila nila na tumulong sa kapwa lalo sa oras na ito.

[internationaldirector]

Hope maasikaso agad ang mga kapakanan ng mga may current contract sa abroad. POEA please action agad. God bless Philippines.

[qwerrtywerty]

mas better kasi salary and benefits dun sa ibang bansa satin hiraphirap mag aral bilang nurse or doctor mahal pa tuition pero sahod at benefits kulang kulang yung iba pa jan wala...

[diosaashley]

Kaya di umaasenso ang Pilipinas, puro pahirap sa kapwa pinoy. Di iniisip ng POEA ang pinaghirapan namin na mga nurses nung kami ay nag aaral pa lng hanggang sa pgkuha ng license. Ni wala silang naitulong tapos ttanggalin nila kami ng karapatan mghanapbuhay sa ibang bansa. Kung tutuusin, ang laki ng buwis na nai-ambag ng bawat OFW. Kaya bagsak lage ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas eh, kasi walang tulungan na ngyyari. Buti kung kaya nila buhayin ang pamilya namin sa Pinas, eh sariling sikap nga lang nmin ang lahat eh mabuhay lang kami.

[celmanalo]

that's why Sen. Joel Villanueva said that the government should study the impact of its decision to ban the deployment of health workers to other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Para sa akin mhalaga po ang serbisyo nila sa panahon ngayon, sayang po ang knilang kkayanang mktulong sa medical force kung di sila ppyagang mkaalis.

[jtnema]

To poea.. Sana po wag bigla bigla e ban nyo mga ofw na aalis. Kase po may contract.. Ang dapat nyo po gawin is e-check Kung nasusunod ba ang contract kase madami po ndi naman nasusunod ang contract NG ofw at once nagSabi sa inyo or nagtanong--deadma po kayo... Kikilos Lang kayo pag patay na ang ofw. Sorry po to say...
Sana maging okay ang pasahod sa all Healthcare workers NG Pinas (doctor, nurse, pharmacy, med tech, )

[UrbanPurple]

Maybe if you paid nurses, doctors and other medical professionals what they deserve, they wouldn't think to leave?

[jaked]

Government thinking - cge impose mo na, saka na lang natin isipin kung ano mangyayari

[junjuncalanojr]

Daming pera ng pinas dhl sa mga ofw pero mdmi ding mandurugas kaya d umusad pinas... ngayon nten nrrmdman ang epekto ng sistema
