00:00 Good news for those working in Taiwan.
00:04 The minimum wage there was increased by a month.
00:07 More than 100,000 Filipino factory workers are among those who will benefit from it.
00:13 J.P. Soriano has the story.
00:15 It's not easy for Patrick, the OFW, to work in this factory in Taiwan.
00:24 That's why his company is giving their best effort to the Filipino workers.
00:30 Aside from the benefits, the minimum wage there was increased by almost Php 2,000 a month.
00:37 That's why it will reach almost Php 50,000 a month.
00:41 I'm happy. I'm very happy.
00:43 The wage hike of factory workers here in Taiwan is increasing yearly.
00:48 More than 100,000 Filipino factory workers in Taiwan will benefit from the wage hike.
00:55 This means a lot to our overseas workers, especially the factory workers.
01:02 We have about 120,000 of them in Taiwan.
01:06 So with that, I would like again to thank the people of Taiwan and the government of Taiwan.
01:11 Aside from this, the Manila Economic and Cultural Office, or MECO, and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office announced
01:19 that Taiwan needs 80,000 foreign workers like the Filipinos.
01:25 Aside from the factory workers.
01:28 We need more English teachers.
01:30 Actually, many Filipinos already went to Taiwan to be English teachers.
01:36 As long as they are an education graduate and have a license to teach from the Professional Regulation Commission or PRC, they can apply.
01:44 For English teachers, I think our teachers get as high as Php 150,000.
01:51 This announcement by Taiwan was about formally donating Php 2,000 metric tons of rice to the Philippines.
02:00 Meanwhile, despite what Chinese President Xi Jinping said this new year, that the reunification of China and Taiwan will inevitably happen,
02:12 the representative of Taiwan in the Philippines believes that it will not be able to return to the present chaos.
02:19 Although they never renounced the use of force, but this will be their last resort.
02:25 I think they will try very hard to attract our people to agree to reunify with China.
02:35 But I think the first step for them maybe they should become a democratic country.
02:41 Teco and MECO also promised that the situation in Taiwan will be safe and peaceful, and that there will be no threat to the Filipinos working there.
02:52 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.
