菲律賓移工Michelle發言稿

I’m Michelle, a caretaker worker in Taiwan, I asked for help from DCU and it’s because I couldn’t come back because my flight was delayed because my boss booked two flights to save on the fare. Manila to Palawan then Palawan to Taoyuan.  what happened was that my re-entry visa expired and I was never able to return to Taiwan. My broker and employer abandoned me and told me to reapply and find a new employer and broker. I am asking for help to remove the regulation because it’s hard on the re-entry policy. I’m having a hard time and my boss and broker don’t care about me anymore. I’m calling to help me come back because I’m the only one my family expects. They allowed me to go on vacation and I didn’t expect that my boss and broker will do this. We talked well and I paid 18k for the hotel quarantine. I hope that all my brokers have done what they should do because I am paying for their services. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much

我是Michelle,在台灣當家庭看護工。我的仲介為了省錢,把我返台的班機拆成兩段,馬尼拉到巴拉望,巴拉望到桃園,然後我的班機延誤,導致我無法返台,所以向桃園市家庭看護工工會求助。因為我的重入國許可逾期了,導致我沒辦法再入境台灣。我的雇主和仲介拋棄了我,要我自己去找別的仲介重新申請申請來台。

我希望這些規定可以取消,因為這造成重入境的困難。我遭遇到困難,而我的仲介和雇主置身事外。我在此尋求協助,讓我可以回台工作,因為我是家裡的經濟支柱。

我的雇主同意讓我返鄉度假,我和仲介離台前有談好,我也支付了一萬八千元的旅館費用。我付錢給仲介就是希望他們能妥善地辦理他們該做的事,我沒想到他們後來會這樣對我。

希望你們可幫助我,非常感謝你們。

菲律賓移工Yvonne發言稿

Good day everyone, I am a caretaker here in Taiwan i am a direct hiring worker I am taking care of ahma and ahkong for 7years. My employer gave me a vacation go back to Philippine from December 4 2022 to January 4 2023.But before i leave as a worker i still need to Comply the requirments of MECO. I Pay my own ticket for NT19,430 round trip.

大家好,我是台灣的一名看護工,我是直接聘僱的工人,我照顧阿嬤和阿公已經7年了。我的雇主給我休假回菲律賓,從2022年12月4日到2023年1月4日,但在我離開之前,我仍然需要符合MECO對移工的要求。我自己支付了來回19,430元的機票。

When I was about to return here on January 4, 2023, I get shock my name is not registered to the list to enter in Taiwan. I ask the ticketing booth they told me that I didn’t register a quarantine hotel back here, so I was not able to get my ticket back to Taiwan, it was a big hassle for me and my employer, so I called my boss to let him know that my name was not included being able to enter here in Taiwan because I don’t have a quarantine hotel.

當我準備在2023年1月4日回到這裡時,我被告知我的名字沒有登記在台灣的入境名單上。我問售票處,他們告訴我,因為我沒有登記台灣檢疫旅館,所以我無法拿到回台灣的機票,這對我和我的雇主來說是一個很大的麻煩,所以我打電話給我的老闆,讓他知道我沒有檢疫旅館,所以我的名字沒有被列入名單。

Workers here in Taiwan are required to quarantine when they come back to Taiwan but take note “Only Migrant Workers have their Quarantine here in Taiwan” WHAT A BIG DISCRIMINATION?

工人在回到台灣時需要進行檢疫,但請注意 “只有外籍移工來台需要檢疫”,這是多麼大的歧視?

After I called my employer he got worried that I cannot come back to Taiwan. My Employer made a way with the help of TIWA STAFF and they registered a quarantine hotel for me which he paid NT 7,350, and I thank God because my Employer helped me. But the plane ticket is also required for registration so i bought a new plane ticket worth of NT19,380 by myself.

我打給我的雇主後,他很擔心我不能回台灣。他在TIWA工作人員的幫助下找出了一個辦法,工作人員幫我登記了一個檢疫旅館,並支付了新台幣7,350元。我感謝上帝,我的雇主幫助了我。但是我還需要機票,所以我又自己買了一張價值19380元的新機票。

Then when I arrived in Taiwan I was quarantined in the hotel but It’s useless! why? Because I went out to buy my own food my boss didn’t order any free food so I ask him if I can go out to buy food for myself and my boss said “yes do a swab test first then tell the hotel information that you will go outside to buy your food” Actually there is no point to quarantine because it’s just a hindrance for us workers here in Taiwan.

在我到達台灣後,我被隔離在旅館裡,但這是沒有用的!為什麼?因為我需要自己出去買食物,我的老闆沒有幫我訂食物,當我問他,我是否可以自己出去買食物時,我的老闆說:”是的,先做快篩,然後告訴旅館人員,你就可以去外面買食物。”實際上,隔離沒有任何意義,只是成為在台移工的阻礙。

I really got in TROUBLE. Taking a vacation is simple thing but GOVERNMENT POLICY in Taiwan makes it complex. My employer and I spend much time and money for this UNFAIR policy, it not only discriminate for OFW but also employer. We want to abolish this discriminating policy. We are human being like the people who live in Taiwan, don’t discriminate us…

我真的遇到了麻煩。休假明明是尋常的一件事,但是台灣的政府政策讓它變得複雜。我的雇主和我花了很多時間和金錢在這個不公平的政策上,它不僅歧視移工,也歧視了雇主。我們要廢除這個歧視性的政策。我們和生活在台灣的人們一樣是人,不要歧視我們……

菲律賓移工Shara發言稿

As a migrant worker and one of the coordinator leaders of DCU. I will speak for my fellow migrant workers or so-called blue collar. Due to the difficulty in processing the re-entry policy back to Taiwan.

我是一個移工,也是家庭看護工工會的幹部。我將為我的同胞工人,就是所謂的藍領移工作陳述,告訴大家現在返台重入境的政策,使我們遭遇了什麼困難。

We Understood during the time of covid19 the government’s restrictions. But since November 2022 the border has been opened and everything is back to normal. Many of us want to visit home to our country. It has been a long time we did not go home due to the pandemic. when we will go vacation, there are still so many processes by the name of covid19 and we are the one who spends almost all of the expenses of it. Why are the regulations made more complicated and difficult for we blue collar workers. Where is our right to be treated equally? Why so quick and easy process when it is not a blue collar migrant worker and there is no torture the policy, only blue collar migrant worker are treated unfairly?

我們可以明白在新冠疫情期間台灣必須實施諸多管制,但去年11月13日國井已經重新開放,生活逐步回歸正常。我們當中也有許多人想返鄉探親,因為疫情造成我們很久都不能返鄉。但是當我們要休假的時候,卻有仍有很多以防疫為名的程序要辦,而且絕大部分的費用都是我們要承擔。為什麼要把藍領移工相關的政策搞的那麼複雜又那麼困難呢?我們難道不應該被平等對待嗎?為什麼非藍領移工的其他旅客都不用被政策苛求、而可以快速又簡易的通關,只有藍領移工必須被不公平的對待?

We blue collar migrant workers request that treat us fairly. No to discrimination. We are workers who are contribute in Taiwan. I hope you will listen to our grievances and suffering from being treated unequally. Hear our voice! we suffer a lot for this discriminative entry regulations and reentry policy! Please stop it NOW!

我們藍領移工只是想被平等的對待。請停止歧視我們。我們是對台灣很有貢獻的一群人。希望我們的委屈能被看見,我們因為不平等的對待而飽受折磨。請傾聽我們的聲音,我們被歧視性的入境政策和重入國制度搞得太慘了。請立刻停止實施!

菲律賓移工Tommie發言稿

Good morning everyone my name is Tommie im a factory worker from Taoyuan.I believe all of us suffer and make a lot of adjustment during the most days of horrible COVID 19 virus pandemic. It’s not easy to go home because of the “government policy” and many requirements needed to comply.I want to share some of my burden, last 6/29/2022 to 7/19/2022 .before I go back to Philippines and before I come back to Taiwan. 

大家早安,我是Tommie,一名來自桃園的工廠工人。我相信我們都在這場可怕的COVID-19病毒大流行中遭受了很多痛苦,也做出了很多調整。由於”政府政策”和許多需要遵守的要求,回家變得不容易。我想分享一些我的負擔。在2022年6月29日至7月19日之間,我回菲律賓之前,也在回台灣之前做出了很多努力。

My broker is asking 50,000nt before i go home.

. 25,000nt for my 7 days hotel quarantine

.23, 000nt for my two way plane ticket

.1, 100nt for my pandemic insurance 

.2, 500nt for my contract verification

50,000nt is equivalent to my 2 month basic salary. Too expensive.

But not so helpful..

我的經紀人要求我在回家前支付50,000新台幣。其中包括:

  • 25,000新台幣的7天隔離費用
  • 23,000新台幣的來回機票費用
  • 1,100新台幣的疫情保險費用
  • 2,500新台幣的合同驗證費用

50,000新台幣相當於我兩個月的基本工資,這太貴了,並且對我沒有太大的幫助。

On that time, the policy is very strict.

When i arrived at Taiwan after the saliva and antigen test there is a stranger shouting’’ ofw’’ The stranger said your taxi going to your quarantine hotel is outside. Actually where like a parcel if no one sign from the airport we cannot go out.2days after being in the hotel, I got a call from the government. They say am infected with the covid-19 virus. I need to move into government quarantine facility. I stay there for 7 days.

那時政策非常嚴格。當我在台灣抵達後,經過唾液和抗原檢測,有一個陌生人喊著“OFW”,告訴我計程車在外面等我去防疫旅館。實際上,如果沒有人在機場簽名,我們就像包裹一樣無法出去。在防疫旅館待了2天後,政府打電話告訴我被確診感染COVID-19病毒,需要轉移到政府的隔離設施待7天。

My first day at work. I ask my supervisor to help me about my hotel refund and insurance subsidy. I only used the hotel for 2 days. But my broker said, i cannot refund the hotel payment and no insurance subsidy. This kind of rules broker taking advantage to earn more money from the migrant worker.

我上班的第一天,我請我的主管幫我處理關於防疫旅館退款和保險補貼的事宜。我只住了2天的防疫旅館,但是我的經紀人說,我無法退款防疫旅館費用,也沒有保險補貼。這種規定讓經紀人從外籍勞工身上賺更多的錢,利用隔離政策來占便宜。

We need to abolish the government quarantine policy.to lessen the burden of migrant worker. Broker is taking advantage of this quarantine policy to make more money from the migrant worker.

This policy is useless, is a discrimination, why only migrant workers need to quarantine. If  CDC think it’s necessary. Why not all people entered Taiwan under go to quarantine policy. We need fair treatment.

我們需要廢除政府的隔離政策,減輕外籍勞工的負擔。經紀人利用這種隔離政策來從外籍勞工身上賺更多的錢。這種政策沒有用,是一種歧視,為什麼只有外籍勞工需要隔離。如果疾管署認為有必要,為什麼不讓所有進入台灣的人都接受隔離政策。我們需要公平對待。
