Module 6: GET COUNTRY COZY-- What do I need to know about my overseas employer’s country?
Europe
Madalas puntahan ng mga temporary at seasonal
workers ang United Kingdom at kung saan may mga
trabaho para sa mga bars at restaurants. Pero mas
madalas pa ding puntahan ng mga Pilipino sa Europa
ang Italy.
28 bansa sa Europa ang katangi-tanging pinagbuklod
sa larangan ng ekonomiya at politika na siyang
bumubuo sa European Union. Euro ang tawag sa
kanilang pananalapi na siyang ginagamit ng mga
bansang miyembro nito. Samantala ang United
Kingdom ay gumagamit ng kanilang sariling
pananalapi, ang UK Pound.
Ang Switzerland at UK ay ilan lamang sa mga bansang
may magastos na pamumuhay sa buong mundo.
Ang mga dayuhang nagnanais magtrabaho ay
kailangang kumuha ng work permit. Kung sakaling
mahuli na illegal na nagtatrabaho ay maaring
magmulta, madeport o tuluyan ng mahadlangan sa
pagpasok sa bansa.

Europe
ITALY
Ang Italy ay isa sa mga destinasyon o madalas na
pinupuntahan ng mga Overseas Filipino Workers para
magtrabaho. Ang kapital nito ay Rome at Euro ang tawag
sa kanilang pananalapi. Umaabot ng 21 na oras ang
biyahe papuntang Italy galing sa Pilipinas.
May apat na klima ang Italy ito ay ang katamtaman init at
mahalumigmig na panahon, malamig at may nyebe sa
matataas na lugar at lambak.
Ang pinakamalaking relihiyon sa Italy ay Roman Catholicism.
Karne, isda, pasta at tinapay ang pang karaniwan nilang pagkain.
Mahirap makahanap ng trabaho sa Italy sa kadahilanang mataas ang porsyento ng
walang trabaho . Malaking kalamangan sa paghahanap ng trabaho kung mas marunong
sa pagsasalita ng Italian at Ingles.

Module 6: GET COUNTRY COZY-- What do I need to know about my overseas employer’s country?
Sa kasalukuyang panahon, mas napapadali na ang
pakikipagkomunikasyon sa kani-kanilang pamilya at kamag-
anak dahil sa mga bagong teknolohiya tulad na lamang ng
paggamit ng text messaging, email, video calling gamit ang
skype at viber. Sa pamamagitan ng mga social networking
sites tulad ng Facebook, Twitter at Instagram maari nang
maka pagbahagi ng mga litrato at dokumento.
PANUNTUNAN SA PAGGAMIT NG SOCIAL
MEDIA
May iilang bansa ang may mahigpit na panuntunan sa paggamit ng internet at may
karampatang parusa ang sinumang lumabag dito. Ang mga nasabing paglabag
tulad ng paggamit ng mga pornographic sites, paninira ng reputasyon ng ibang tao
gamit ang internet at makakasira sa pangkalahatang siguridad.

PANUNTUNAN SA PAGGAMIT NG SOCIAL
MEDIA
May ibang tao na hindi iniisip ang maaring maging
negatibong resulta ng sobrang paglalahad ng kanilang
personal na impormasyon, saloobin at mga litrato sa internet,
maari itong magdulot ng paninira sa kanilang reputasyon,
pagnanakaw sa kanilang pagkakakilanlan o mas malala pa
ay mawalan sila ng trabaho. Maaring matanggal sa trabaho
ang sinumang manggagawa ang magpost sa internet kontra
sa lahi at relihiyon ng ibang bansa. Nangangahulugan ito ng
paglabag sa batas at regulasyon ng ibang bansa.
Tandaan na kapag magtatrabaho sa ibang bansa dapat sundin ang mga batas,
regulasyon,kultura at relihiyon na pinaniniwalan nila bilang pagbibigay respeto sa
bansang iyong pupuntahan.

Module 6: GET COUNTRY COZY-- What do I need to know about my overseas employer’s country?
Suriin at alamin ang mga sumusunod na paalala bago
magpost sa internet o sa online media:
1) Isaalang-alang ang limitasyon at seguridad ng iyong social network
account, kung maari ay kaibigan o malalapit at mapagkakatiwalan na
kakilala lamang ang makakaalam nito.
2) Iwasan i-aacept o i-follow ang iyong amo sa mga social networking
sites. At kung maari ay ihiwalay ang personal na buhay sa iyong
trabaho.
3) Kung magrereport ka ng paglabag sa kontrata o pang aabuso ng
iyong amo ay huwag gamitin ang social media para magreklamo sa
iyong trabaho. Sa halip ay gamitin ang tamang proseso sa
pagrereport tungkol sa paglabag sa karapatan at kontrata.
4) Huwag punahin o siraan ang kultura o tradisyon, paniniwalang panrelihiyon, mga kaugalian at
katangian ng mga taong nakakasalamuha mo.
5) Huwag mag upload ng mga malalaswa, labag sa batas at malisyosong larawan ng ibang tao.
6) Huwag sumali sa mga debate o diskusyon tungkol sa mga usaping pulitikal man o pangrelihiyon.
