00:00Thousands of jobs for Filipino caregivers are waiting for them in Croatia
00:06under the two-nation co-operation program.
00:10The possible salary and benefits are in the hands of JP Soriano.
00:17Good morning, ma'am. I am your caregiver for today.
00:20Can I take your vital signs?
00:22Dolly, a BS Nursing graduate from Quezon City, has already graduated from TESDA Training School.
00:28But she continues to practice, like giving CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
00:34The victim is no pulse, no breathing.
00:37We do CPR.
00:40First, we need to compress the chest.
00:42Okay.
00:43One hand on top of that, other hand.
00:46Okay. Straight elbow.
00:48Compress it for about 30 times.
00:50Go.
00:51One, two, three, four.
00:53And giving a patient a proper bath.
00:56That's why I did CG, because I really wanted to go abroad.
01:00Just like Dolly, the country needs Croatia
01:04for their special hiring program
01:07that is part of the Memorandum of Cooperation or MOC of the Philippines and Croatia.
01:15According to the DMW, the minimum salary can reach up to 1,000 euros or more than 62,000 pesos per month.
01:23That doesn't include overtime pay and other benefits.
01:27They said they will be opening 18 senior care facilities.
01:35And they hope to have Filipino caregivers.
01:39Especially, it's government-related, so it's safe.
01:43Of course, we have to consider also the assurance that it's not a scam or anything.
01:49In this test-accredited school in Quezon City,
01:51they teach up to 100 students per year.
01:54And the training lasts for 6 to 7 months.
01:57And most of their graduates are now working abroad.
02:03There are also a lot of test-accredited caregiving graduates
02:07who are abroad, who are able to build their homes in the Philippines,
02:10or whose families are already with them abroad.
02:13The majority of them are still in Canada.
02:17And then Japan is there, of course.
02:19And then Australia and New Zealand is opening up.
02:22And then under the European, we have Germany and Finland.
02:27So, though, language is a must.
02:29Aside from their work, the MOC in some European countries
02:33also contributes to the protection of the Filipinos working there.
02:37One of the common problems in Central and Eastern Europe
02:41is the Third Country Illegal Recruitment Scheme,
02:44where a Filipino is employed illegally
02:48to avoid this kind of illegal recruitment.
02:51The DMW reminds that employees are not allowed to post their work on social media.
02:57If it's government-to-government, only the DMW can apply.
03:01And if it's an agency, check with the DMW
03:04if the agency is legitimate and has active job orders.
