Pagpapalista para sa mga Samahang Pilipino

Marapat unawain na hindi kaakibat ng pagpapatala sa Pasuguan ang pagkaroon ng inyong samahan ng opisyal o legal na katayuan sa bansang ito. Gayundin, ang pagpapalista dito ng inyong samahan ay di ibig sabihin na ito ay bahagi na ng Federation of Filipino Organizations in Jordan (FilOrg-Jordan). Makipag-ugnayan sa mga opisyal nito kung ibig ng inyong samahan na maging kasapi ng FilOrg-Jordan. Bilang nag-iisang kinikilalang pangkalahatang samahan, ang FilOrg-Jordan ay ang pangunahing paraan ng pakikipag-ugnayan ng Pasuguan sa pamayanang Pilipino sa Jordan.
PAUNAWA: Maaring ibahagi ang impormasyon ibinigay ninyo gamit ang porma sa ibang ahensiya ng pamahalaan at non-government organizations na may kinalaman o nakikipag-ugnayan sa mga pamayanang Filipino sa labas ng bansa (hal. Commission on Filipinos Overseas, Pag-IBIG Fund, atbp).
This section of the website will hold all public advisories issued by the Embassy for the benefit of the Filipino community and the general public at large. You may click to go directly to specific issues or concerns using the menu on the right sidebar or browse through the list below and click on a particular public advisory listed to get complete details.
The Philippine Embassy in Amman lauded the issuance by the Department of Justice (DOJ) of an advisory opinion on illegal drug couriers.
In line with the earlier call of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for a comprehensive and coordinated campaign against illegal drug smuggling syndicates, the Embassy stated that the DOJ advisory is most helpful in the Philippine Government's information and awareness campaign on drug smuggling and the victimization of Filipinos as drug couriers.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima stated that the advisory opinion, which was issued on 29 April, "seeks to explain to the public the issues surrounding the recruitment, arrest, detention and conviction in foreign countries of Filipinos who are caught transporting illegal drugs."
The advisory opinion outlined 10 recommended points for the Filipino public. These are the following:
- Carry at your own risk
- Knowledge is immaterial and intent is not a requirement in drug trafficking
- Be vigilant of the modus operandi of drug courier syndicates
- In the unfortunate event of arrest or detention for drug trafficking, have presence of mind and do not resist arrest
- Assert your legal rights, inquire on the legal remedies and request for consular assistance
- Presumption of innocence will always apply
- The laws of the country of arrest apply
- If sentenced, the Philippine government can only be of limited assistance
- "Blood money" cannot be paid to erase the liability of a person convicted of a crime involving illegal drugs
- Take full responsibility of your actions
Secretary de Lima said that it is not a valid legal defense that the carrier of a package did not know it contains illegal drugs or that he had no intention to commit a crime. Therefore, she advised Filipinos to be always wary when dealing with strangers and when dealing with request for carry of packages.
Secretary de Lima also stated that the Philippine Government can only offer limited assistance to arrested persons. She said that the government cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
"The best the government can do for you is to assist in protecting your rights and arranging your legal defense. Outside of this, the government cannot insist that you be given a different treatment than that which the laws of other countries provide," said Secretary de Lima.
The DFA has called for personal vigilance and responsibility on the part of Filipinos who travel overseas. They should not agree to carry any packages or luggage for strangers, even supposed friends or employers, or consent to carry packages in exchange for money. Our people can take fuller responsibility for their actions by always being on guard against such inducements.
Ang Pasuguan ng Pilipinas sa London ay naglabas ng babala sa publiko tungkol sa isang ahensiya sa United Kingdom na gumamit ng pineke na Job Order Verification stamp at palsipikadong pirma ng Labor Attaché ng Philippine Overseas Labor Office sa United Kingdom (POLO-UK). Ayon sa Pasuguan ay napag-alaman nila na isang JP Recruitment Agency na may address sa 290 Queens Road, Bootle, Liverpool, United Kingdom at may telepono bilang +44 701114753 ay nanghikayat sa isang recruitment agency sa Pilipinas na mag-recruit ng mga Pilipinong ibig magpunta sa United Kingdom gamit ang isang Manpower Request/Job Order na may pekeng tatak ng POLO-UK at palsipikadong lagda ng Labor Attaché doon.
Pinapayuhan ng Pasuguan ng Pilipinas sa London na mag-ingat sa mga taong mag-aalok ng trabaho sa United Kingdom lalo pa't kung dala ang pangalan ng JP Recruitment Agency at kung hindi matiyak ang katotohanan ng gamit na Job Order o kung may pagdududa sa mga tatak at pirmang nasa dokumentong ito.
Hangga't maari makipag-ugnayan sa POLO-UK o POLO-Amman upang mapatotohanan ang legalidad ng mga alok na trabaho. Mas maigi rin na isangguni sa Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (www.poea.gov.ph) ang anumang mga job offer o alok ng trabaho sa ibang bansa.
