Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz To avoid any diplomatic gaffes, a ranking member of the House of Representatives has urged the government to be lenient about tagging countries as unsafe for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said Monday. Baldoz said Akbayan party-list Representative Walden Bello had formally asked the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) to be “sensitive” about naming countries that fail to provide enough protections for OFWs as required by the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipino Act. Bello urged the POEA to consider as “compliant” countries that were deemed “partially compliant” pending negotiations with their governments. “He wrote to ask that the partially compliant be treated as compliant without prejudice to negotiations for the protection of household service workers,” Baldoz said. “That means that in terms of deployment, it would be continuous,” she said. Bello, chairman of the House committee on … [Read more...] about Go easy on ‘unsafe for OFWs’ tag on countries, gov’t urged

TESCO has hiked the price of one of its most popular dinner deals and shoppers are fuming. The supermarket has quietly raised the price of the Tesco Finest Dinner for two meal deal from £10 up to £12 - a rise of 20%. The price hike came into effect on May 9, and customers are disappointed to hear they'll have to fork out more for their food. The grocer's popular offer gets you one main, one side, one dessert and a drink from a selected range of products. Shoppers can choose meals like ranch steaks with peppercorn butter (usually £6) and a bottle of Spanish Shiraz worth £7.

6 insane tales from WWE’s very own courtroom – backstage fights, boozy gifts and bribes
Any wrestling fan will have heard about the catalogue of backstage incidents between the wrestlers. Sometimes what goes on behind the camera can be far more interesting than what happens in the ring. But what you might not know is that these fallouts are settled in a unique way - wrestlers' court. The idea was thought up by Dutch Mantel, aka Zeb Colter, as a way for wrestlers to settle their differences and let off steam. Wrestlers' court acted independent of WWE management and was usually headed by the most respected man in the locker room - The Undertaker. However, the concept didn't always sound entirely fair with wrestlers often taking the opportunity to force others to buy them beer or make women break down in tears. Below are some of the most ludicrous tales of wrestlers' court. The Miz gets banned from the locker room The Miz is now one of the most respected and decorated wrestlers in all of WWE. But it certainly wasn't plain sailing in the beginning for … [Read more...] about 6 insane tales from WWE’s very own courtroom – backstage fights, boozy gifts and bribes
Outrage as Airbnb host charges £60 a night to stay in a TENT on concrete in his back garden
TOURISTS looking to spend a night on the town in Dublin have discovered what may well be the worst Airbnb listing of all time. For £60 a night, anyone who visits the stunning city can get some shut-eye in a pop-up tent in someone's back garden. But even those who love spending a night under the stars will likely balk at spending their hard-earned cash on the experience. That's because the tent has been set up on concrete rather than grass - promising the unlucky visitor a very uncomfortable evening. It was initially believed the listing was a joke. Property prices in the Irish capital are sky-high, leading some to guess the tent was some very on-the-nose satire. However, there was horror after it was then revealed the ad is real.

Floyd Mayweather charging £1,200 for online meet-and-greets amid ‘money’s gone’ claim
Floyd Mayweather is charging fans more than £1,000 to meet him - but not in person. 'The Money Man' retired from professional boxing for a third and seemingly final time in 2017, when he beat Conor McGregor to take his record to 50-0 . His last hurrah earned him more than £240million, although that didn't deter the icon from stepping back into a ring. In late 2018, he took apart kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a three-round exhibition bout , and then last year, went the distance in an eight-round clash with Logan Paul . However, the bout was widely ridiculed with Mayweather appearing to deliberately prolong it - and the YouTuber has since accused his opponent of owing him money from the event. This Saturday, he'll take on former sparring partner Don Moore in Dubai. The event has been put back seven days due to the death of United Arab Emirates President Shiekh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan . But despite recently being listed by Sportico as the sixth highest career … [Read more...] about Floyd Mayweather charging £1,200 for online meet-and-greets amid ‘money’s gone’ claim
