00:00Sitwasyon ng mga Pilipino sa Northern Ireland,
00:02kaugnay ng mga racially charged riots doon.
00:06Ating aalamin kasama si Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega
00:09ng Department of Foreign Affairs.
00:11Magandang hali po, Yusek de Vega.
00:16Magandang hali po.
00:18Sir, ano pong sitwasyon sa Northern Ireland
00:20kung saan may ilang gabi nang nagaganap ang racially charged riots
00:24at saan-saang lugar po ba ito sa Northern Ireland?
00:27Well, sa isang town lang, so far, sa Ballymena,
00:35there are 5,000 Filipinos in Northern Ireland
00:38and a few, baka hindi pa abot ang 100 doon sa Ballymena.
00:45Ang problema po, hindi naman Pilipinong may kasalanan dito.
00:49Nagra-riot yung mga ibang Northern Irish
00:53dahil sa nangyari involving Romanian migrants.
00:56So, lahat na lang ng migrants, kinakagalit nila.
00:59Wala pang nasasaktan na Pilipino,
01:02pero meron na mga na-target na Pilipino na
01:05yung isa, sinunog yung kotse niya sa labas ng bahay
01:09or sinira.
01:11So, right now, may 10 Pilipino
01:13inaalagaan ng ibang Filipino families.
01:17Remember, apektado, pero walang physical injuries sa mga Pilipino ngayon.
01:24Nagbigay ng advisory yung ating embassy sa London
01:29na mag-ingat lahat at sumunod sa local authorities.
01:33At baka ngayon mismo, nandun na,
01:36papunta doon si Ambassador Teddy Luxin,
01:38galing Laundress,
01:40doon, tapunta ang Penfast,
01:41sa Northern Ireland, tapos pumunta dito
01:42para ma-meet niya yung mga Pilipinong
01:45na pilitan na umalis ng bahay nila
01:49dahil nga sa nangyayari mga riots.
01:52Sek, I understand, nagsimula po ito
01:56o may kaugnayan yung riots sa isang sexual assault case.
02:01So, may peace rally, pero biglang may nang gulo.
02:04So, pwede pong pakibigyan yung ating mga kababayan
02:07ng detalye tungkol sa pagsisimula
02:10o kung paano nagsimula itong riots na ito?
02:13Sek, kasi po may dalawang Romanian migrants
02:17na inagkosana ng rape ng tiga-local.
02:21So, ang problema dito,
02:24hindi ito bago, no?
02:26For the past several months,
02:28simula last year,
02:30nagkakaroon sa United Kingdom,
02:32of which Northern Ireland is part of,
02:36ng mas malakas na anti-migrant status
02:43or anti-immigrant feeling.
02:47Isa doon dahil yung ibang migrants
02:50na ibang reliyon,
02:52pinipilit nila yung reliyon nila
02:53doon sa Europa.
02:56At isa, siguro dahil mga frustration,
02:59dahil yung ekonomiya ngayon ng Europe,
03:03mas mabagal kaysa sa normal.
03:06Tapos ang madali sisihin,
03:07mga foreigner.
03:09Ganun pa man,
03:11tayo sa Philippine government,
03:14medyo may konting kopyansa kasi,
03:15kahit paano,
03:16karamihan ng Europeans
03:18at ibang mga host countries,
03:22may konting respeto
03:25at saka appreciation
03:27dahil ang mga Filipino
03:28sa kalimbansa are largely law-abiding.
03:32Wala kang magingita
03:32na Filipino migrant
03:34engaged in criminal activity.
03:36I mean,
03:36kaya sila nandun
03:37para magtrabaho.
03:39So, ganun po.
03:40Pero,
03:41inaasaan natin
03:44na yung local authorities
03:45ay gumawa ng solusyon dito
03:49para mahintunan.
03:50Ang tiging ko po,
03:52tulad ng mga ibang rallies
03:53dati sa Liverpool
03:54at ibang parts ng UK,
03:57nagkaroon na rin yung ganyan.
04:00Sana,
04:01after a week or less,
04:03mag-die down na.
04:05Maka niyalabas na ng frustration.
04:07Yung Filipinos nga,
04:08yung ibang Filipino dun,
04:10niyalagay nila sa lugar nila,
04:12we are Filipinos,
04:13meaning,
04:14wala ko may target
04:14kasi,
04:16baka tinatarget nila
04:17yung mga Eastern European
04:17na marami, no?
04:19Doon,
04:19eh,
04:19ang kaibahan,
04:20eh,
04:20kung anti-migrants,
04:22eh,
04:24kahit na anong foreigners,
04:26no?
04:26Ayaw nila.
04:26I mean,
04:27lalo na,
04:27hindi tayo European.
04:29So,
04:30ganun pa man,
04:30ang good news to,
04:32eh,
04:33nandun si Ambassador,
04:35we will rate his report.
04:37Baka may mga letrato siya,
04:38ganyan,
04:39sama ng support.
04:40At,
04:41walang,
04:41eh,
04:43walang napinsala,
04:44walang,
04:44walang mismong in-attack physically,
04:47walang body harm,
04:48no?
04:48So,
04:50eh,
04:51we'll,
04:51eh,
04:53continue to hope for the best
04:54and update you.
04:56Yusek,
04:56bukod po doon sa pagpunta ni Ambassador Luxin sa Northern Ireland,
05:01ano pong klaseng assistance ang pwedeng ibigay ng ating embahada sa mga Pilipinong,
05:07ah,
05:07posibleng pang maapektuhan ng riots?
05:11Apo,
05:12tiga ano to,
05:12tiga DMW,
05:13eh,
05:13DMW meron silang Migrant Workers Office,
05:15so mga ORW to,
05:17so under the jurisdiction,
05:18yung ating MW at saka O1 nandun,
05:21para check kung kailangan ng financial assistance,
05:23kasi,
05:24eh,
05:24baka,
05:25baka kailangan umalis,
05:26mawalang trabaho,
05:27at relocation,
05:28so,
05:29titignan nila anong pwedeng gawin
05:30para kung kailangan umalis
05:32ng Northern Ireland,
05:34kung pwedeng
05:34ilipat lang ng trabaho,

05:37Sa ibang lugar,
05:38ibang part of the UK.
05:39ah,
05:41of course,

05:42pero hindi naman siguro mangyari ito,
05:44kung gusto na nilang umuwi,
05:46eh,

05:48pwede namin sagutin yung
05:50repatriation nila,
05:51tapos dito usually may
05:52may reintegration assistance.
05:55Pero right now,

05:58migrant workers office
06:00galing DMW na
06:02attachés na assigned sa Londres,

06:13pagkalipas,
06:15ng konti pa naon,

06:43ganun po, no?
06:45Ang number one priority
06:47is safety.
06:48Now,
06:48kung magkaroon ng
06:50kaso,
