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.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
