Malacañang declares Feb. 26 holiday in Zamboanga City

ZAMBOANGA CITY – Malacañang has declared February 26 as a special non-working day in this city as a fitting celebration of the 85th Dia de la Ciudad de Zamboanga or Charter Day anniversary.

Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, by the authority of President Rodrigo Duterte, issued Proclamation 1304 dated February 10 formalizing the declaration.

Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar said Thursday that the declaration was intended to give the residents of this city “full opportunity to celebrate and participate in the occasion with appropriate ceremonies subject to the public health measures of the national government.”

The celebration of Dia de la Ciudad de Zamboanga marks the day when appointed officials of the city led by then-Mayor Nicasio Valderoza took over the helm of the local government.

There will be three holidays in a row for the last two weeks of the month – February 25, a special non-working holiday per Proclamation 1236 in commemoration of the 36th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution; February 26, the Dia de Zamboanga; and February 28, a Muslim legal holiday in celebration of Israh Wal Mi’raj commemorating the ascension of Prophet Mohammad to heaven – in this city.

Meanwhile, some 1,295 vacancies are up for grabs on Thursday’s job fair organized by the city government, through the Public Employment Service Office (PESO).

Maria Socorro Rojas, PESO manager, said the job fair forms part of the city’s charter celebrations.

The job fair, held at the East Wing of KCC-Mall de Zamboanga from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., was organized in collaboration with the Department of Labor and Employment and other concerned agencies. (PNA)

Philippines to blacklist HK employers who illegally fired OFWs

MANILA – The Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong said it will blacklist the employers of overseas Filipino workers who had been illegally fired for getting afflicted with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

“Definitely, that’s the first step that we will do if (they are) proven to be guilty of illegally terminating their employees, that’s the first step, but more than that they’re liable for violating the employment ordinance of Hong Kong for sure,” Consul General Raly Tejada said in a press briefing Thursday.

He said the Consulate General will coordinate with the labor department of Hong Kong to make sure that the employers would face charges.

Last week, several Filipino employees who contracted Covid-19 sought assistance after they were fired by their employers leaving them unable to get admitted to hospitals.

Tejada said the situation was generally “chaotic” last week and that some Filipinos indeed ended up having no place to stay due to various reasons, including getting summarily terminated by their employers. But he reported that most of the employers have already taken back their terminated employees.

The envoy said three to five employers are for “further investigation”.

“Majority ‘yong sa sinabi kong 10, nakabalik naman at nakausap natin ‘yong mga employers (Majority of the around 10 employers that I’ve mentioned have taken them back in and we’re talked to them), some of them were just taken by surprise and were fearful of the virus, they’re probably regretful and did not intend to do so, napakiusapan natin and they’re willing to take back the employees,” he said. (PNA)
