Helper Choice: a meet-and-match website for domestic helpers who want to work abroad

Helper Choice: a meet-and-match website for domestic helpers who want to work abroad
Filipinos who want to work abroad as domestic helpers may now apply through a website called "Helper Choice" where employers and maids meet and match at no charge to the helper.

By using this website, applicants will no longer have to go to a recruitment agency to find work abroad. This eliminates precarious recruitment practices where women sometimes end up in debt bondage and forced labor. In this app, the helpers have the luxury of choosing their boss.

And because there are no third parties involved in the application, the helpers will no longer have to pay for high placement fees and processing fees.

In a news article from Coconuts Manila, Helper Choice was named runner-up in Pitch With Purpose, a competition for women entrepreneurs with social-themed businesses held in Houston, Texas this month.

The app is already available in seven countries - Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.

For more details you can visit the Helper Choice website HERE or on their Facebook page.

Kenny Rogers Roasters announced the anticipated return of its celebrated campaign, the Solo Love Club. Now in its second year, the movement continues to champion self-love and individuality by reframing November 11 from a mere “Deals Day” or “Single’s Day” into a true “Day of Solo Love.” This year, the celebration comes to life through the “I Stick To Myself” Sticker Drop campaign—an empowering reminder for everyone to honor the most important commitment they can make: the one to themselves.

Is putting a 'DO NOT DELAY' sign on a car's windshield against LTO traffic laws?

The coronavirus pandemic has made driving a car through Metro Manila a difficult activity – with major roads choking with inching traffic as more people venture out of quarantine, wary of public transportation. There is no doubt that a highly visible 'Do Not Delay' sign on a motorist's windshield will notify the traffic enforcers and other drivers that he has precious essential cargo in his vehicle, putting him ahead of everybody else. In most cases you can expect other drivers to respect that fact and hopefully they drive less aggressive around him and give him more time or room. But one of the downsides is that a sign such as this one can be prone to abuse. Think about the times you've seen a 'Do Not Delay' sign in a car's windshield while driving. It piques a little bit of curiosity on your part. The sign makes you look over the car, and you have to admit, it's one of the most annoying feeling when you suddenly realize it was put there by...
