00:00There is a long-awaited opportunity in Croatia for Filipino hotel workers in the coming months.
00:08There is also an additional training day allocated by the government for the caregivers.
00:12J.P. Soriano is on the line.
00:18Cindy has graduated from the housekeeping course in Testa
00:22and is currently working as part of the maintenance team in a house in Makati.
00:27She is happy with her current job and employer, but she has no choice but to go abroad.
00:41That's why there are reports that housekeepers like her are needed in hotels in Croatia.
00:51Just like Cindy, a former domestic helper in Saudi Arabia, Anna, also wants to apply in Croatia.
00:56She believes that her qualifications are suitable for this job.
01:06According to the Department of Migrant Workers,
01:08there are more than 3,000 Filipino hotel workers working as housekeepers, front desk staff,
01:14and others will be hired by Croatia.
01:17The track is government-to-government or G2G.
01:21This means that DMW will be the one to process and the applicant has no placement fee.
01:27They need workers this summer, which is the latter part of April and May.
01:32For the Filipino caregivers, the G2G agreement between the Philippines and Slovenia is also about to be signed.
01:40In Croatia, it is 1,000 euros above.
01:45In Slovenia, it is around 1,500 to 2,500 euros.
01:51In order for Filipino caregivers to be protected,
01:54DMW is adding training here in the Philippines.
01:59We have the opportunity to firm up possible means and channels for care workers to further protect themselves.
02:08A reminder from the government.
02:10Do not copy the work posted on social media so that illegal recruiters will not be victimized.
02:16Apply only on the DMW website.
