<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2016 is about to end. There are Filipinos who work and reside in the UK and with the Brexit vote last May 2016, this 2017 may seem to be a year of uncertainty in many aspects. It was an unexpected vote and it turned medium and long term plans awry for Filipinos who reside there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">& months have passed and the whole world was witness to the largest companies lost more than US$200 billion in a matter of days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While they wait for Article 50 to be finalized with uncertainty, Filipinos here and in the UK wait with bated breathe on what 2017 holds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are several indicators that are crucial:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remittances</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In 2005, the Peso – Sterling Pound Exchange Rate was Php100 = 1 Sterling Pound. The devaluation impacted immediately and after a day the Sterling Pound lost 10% of its value. It is forecasted that a £500 remittance will now be lower by approximately PHP 4,000. This will translate to around PHP 50,000 over 12 months (assuming exchange rates stay at the current rates).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are 300,000 Filipinos in the UK and the loss of the value of remittances will tell on consumer spending of their dependents here in the Philippines. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cost of vacations</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As with remittances, the cost of vacations by UK based Filipinos would tend to be more expensive for them. A $3,000 trip across the Atlantic to New York will now set them back by almost £300 more. But those planning on visiting Jolly Old England can do it cheaper than before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Interest rates</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As anticipated by many, the Bank of England has further reduced the base rates to 0.25% (from the previous 0.5%, which has been the standing rate since March 2009). While the continuing low interest environment is great for keeping the monthly mortgage payments low for homeowners, it may still be worth exploring the market for even better deals. The losers from this, as we know, are the savers and the pensioners.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Immigration</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One critical component of Brexit is that of immigration policy. But there are factors such as the points system would favor Filipinos of professional qualifications. But this can also be counteracted by more points being given to EU national.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Economy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">GDP slowdown is expected but not worse than during the 2008 crisis. This will also affect jobs generation since investor confidence on new businesses and expansion will be greatly affected. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Onwards and upwards</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2017 is still filled with hopeful signs and indicators though. Large corporate transactions are still taking place and others in the pipeline. London launched the #LondonIsOpen social media campaign wherein London is depicted as a city filled with opportunities for investors and visitors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Trump victory is still a factor to be fully analyzed and assessed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There's more than meets the eye with Filipina nurse, Cielito Seguritan.  With her petite frame, no one would even assume that this lady is a martial artist.  Not only is she into the martial arts, she is also a writer and educator.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Put that together and voila!  You have a writer of a book on the Grand Master of Kali-Eskrima-Arnis, Percival Pableo.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cielito has always wanted to be a journalist.  However, she became a nurse and then realized that nursing expands to so many areas.  Thus, continuous studies brought her to document and publish other discoveries in medicine.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Currently, Cielito Seguritan Caneja is a Respiratory Clinical Nurse Specialist at Chelsea Westminster Hospital London United Kingdom.  Her job is also combined as a Clinical Researcher specialising in Asthma, COPD, Medical Service Development and Interventional Bronchoscopy. She is also an Educator for Medical Students in the Imperial College London and is a speaker/ faculty for numerous Interventional Respiratory Bronchocopy Courses in London United Kingdom and travels extensively in Europe to lecture and teach.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not content with resting on her Bachelors Degree in Nursing from Philippines, she continued on to receive a Masters Degree in Nursing, Clinical Education in Thames Valley University London UK and Independent Nurse Practise in Kings College University of London UK.  Having completed multiple multi-national researches which are considered world class by FDA and MHRA regulations and standards, Cielito also pursues her passion in Clinical Research and lately focusing on the Law and Ethics of Medical practice. She continues on her PhD in Respiratory studies and had published multiple clinical publications.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Her motivation to continue doing clinical research is to see the great change in the quality of life of her patients.  “To see them smile and come back on their follow up hospital visit feeling better” </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With all that has been in her journey, Cielito looks back in her humble beginning from a family of farmers in Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines.  As any normal Filipino who brims with nostalgia, Cielo always looks forward to go back home in the panoramic farms at the Cordillera Mountains. </span><br />

A Filipina Dentist Makes It To The British Register Of Dentists

April 11, 2016 Tech Reporter 0

<span style="font-size: large;">LONDON, England - There are only a handful of Filipino Dentists in the United Kingdom who have graduated and partly practiced their dentistry in the Philippines but are now included in the British Dentist Register.  In the past, dentists who studied overseas and hoped to practice had to take the International Qualifying Examination (IQE).  All that has been changed into the ORE (overseas registration examination).<br /><br />One of the few Filipinos who managed to pass the ORE in the UK and make it to the British Dentist Register is Marilou Villaver-Denosta, DMD.  Marilou is originally from Cebu and prior to her moving to the UK, practiced as a dentist for almost 4 years.<br /><br />Right after passing the board exam way 2001, Marilou volunteered as a community dentist in Mandaue City Health Department. Afterwards she joined Macrohon Orthodontic Centre for 2 years, and then moved to the Bernal Dental Clinic where she became the principal dentist.  Simultaneously she was also asked to become a Reliever Dentist for PAGCOR Mactan located in the Waterfront Hotel Mactan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />When she moved to the UK, she wasn't able to practice her dentistry immediately and could only do associate jobs in the Philippines during her vacations. After a long wait, she said she finally had the guts and money to take the exam to allow her to practice dentistry in the UK. She recently passed it last September 2015 and was registered two months later. She is currently looking for a Dental Foundation Training Post for her to work in the NHS.<br /><br />Dr. Denosta says that basic dental education in the Philippines is on a par with other dental professionals abroad.  At the moment while waiting for her training post, she keeps herself busy revising for the MJDF (Member of the Joint Dental Fellowship) run by the Royal College of Surgeons in England.<br /><br />She envisions that once she has successfully finish my vocational training, she plans to pursue a specialization in Cosmetic Dentistry and open her own Dental Surgery.<br /><br />In her free time I do online revision courses to other ORE candidates so they too can pass the exam (these are candidates of different nationalities).<br /><br />Marilou says, "It's about time that community of Filipino dentists should be acknowledged the Philippines is amongst one of the best producers of dentists in the world and most of those who find themselves abroad are just settled doing assistant/dental nurse jobs thinking that these qualifying exams are so impossible to pass. Actually, it is very doable!".  <br /><br />Dr. Denosta continues, "I wasn't a practicing dentist for 10 years but I took the exam with no formal course in manikin (phantom head) and I passed it!"<br /><br />She says there are a lot of Indian, Pakistani, Nepali dentists who pass because they help one another.  On the other hand, Filipinos hardly know any other Filipino dentists taking the exam until the exam day itself when they see each other at the testing site. <br /><br />In the entire northwest of England Dr. Denosta seems to be the only Filipino dentist allowed to practice  She adds, "Imagine how many Filipinos are here who have a dental degree but would rather work as in other medical disciplines just to get by.  However, I am sure that they would rather work as a dentist if given the chance and encouragement.  I hope my story inspires other dentists to take the exam too so that there would be more Filipino dentists practicing in the United Kingdom".</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">— by Gene Alcantara</span><br /><br />There is a bit of London that will forever be Philippine.  It is a house on 37 Chalcot Crescent NW1, on Primrose Hill, just off Regents Park, owned many many years ago by the Beckett family.  One can approach it from two tube stations, southward from Chalk Farm or westward from Camden Town.  If one happens to be visiting the London Zoological Gardens, it will just be about 10 minutes walk across the road in a northerly direction.<br /><br />The three-storey, white painted house with spear-like metal fencing in black, is easy to spot in the rows of identical terrace houses on the crescent.  For it is the only one with a blue circular plaque to the left of the black front door saying that Dr Jose Rizal, Filipino hero, lived there in 1888-1889.  The way though that the house has become for all intents and purposes a pilgrimage site for Filipinos visiting the British isles, one would think Rizal lived there for a long long time.<br /><br />I suppose he did not have to live there for very long.  For whatever period of time he spent in that house had been absolutely productive for both the birth of the Philippine Republic, and the pride of Filipinos nowadays not just as a nation of heroes, but as one with a rich cultural heritage.  The house was of course Rizal’s base when he came to England for scholarly pursuits.  It is important because under its roof he undoubtedly contemplated the state of his country and what he was going to do to bring about a better future.<br /><br />While he was a boarder in the house, Rizal worked on three major literary undertakings–his annotations of Antonio de Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, his philological studies with a view to producing a Philippine dictionary and grammar book, and most importantly his sequel to Noli Me Tangere.  During this time he was prolific in political writing as well as correspondence with family and friends.  Rizal was supposed to have done some sculptures during this period too although I have never set eyes on any of them at all.<br /><br />Chalcot Crescent is located fairly centrally and is a stone’s throw away from the residence on Elsworthy Terrace of his good friend, Dr Reinhold Rost, librarian of the India Office Library and who gave him access to Morga’s book.  Across the park, the British Library would probably have been a good hour’s walk away.  The major sites of attraction of London would have been also mere walking distance from where he was staying.<br /><br />It is a pleasant surprise therefore to find that Rizal had also actually traipsed from there to London’s more distant but less affluent East End to continue his work with Filipinos.  He apparently set up a Filipino young men’s club in the Dalton area near Hackney to ensure that his kababayans of that time were always conscious of national issues.  Rizal should probably also be given the title of ‘Father of Filipino Community Organizations in Britain’.  A lot of Filipinos nowadays own houses in London’s East End where prices are generally cheaper, but I do not think many of them realize that the hero was active in their community a hundred years ago.<br /><br />I wish I had a copy of the second volume (1888-onwards) of Epistolario Rizalino which the Biblioteca Nacional de Filipinas published in 1930.  It ought to have details of Rizal’s community organization work in London.  It would be fascinating to see which Filipinos were here then, what they did, what they talked about and possibly where they met regularly.  Maybe the Filipino community can discover another historical site in London.  But this time, maybe the government or some rich Filipino benefactor could purchase the property and turn it into a Philippine center or museum.<br /><br />The Filipino community continually seeks role models for their children born or growing up in Britain.  The Philippines however is strangely bereft of credible modern heroes who could be turned into icons of role model proportions, and whatever Filipino breakthroughs are made to date in Britain relate usually to the theatrical stage.  So looking back to the heroes of a century ago, with their imperfections and individual tragedies, is a safer bet.  For theirs at least are monumental achievements with which it is less difficult to identify.  However, one cannot simply identify with these heroes in scholarly books or in newspaper articles.  What they need is a place to go to where they could see visually what these heroes looked like and what sort of things they did when they were here for the country.  One solution is to have a house devoted to Filipino heroes who lived in London.<br /><br />The Chalcot Crescent house is apparently owned by an American lawyer who rents out the property to visiting Americans.  Apart from the Philippine Ambassador, his wife and embassy staff and the Knights of Rizal  who every June 19 pay tribute to Rizal with a floral offering at the house, I know of nobody else who was ever let into the house to feast his or her eyes upon whatever historical artefact remains inside, particularly the two rooms Rizal occupied as bedroom and receiving room.  This is a tragedy for the Filipino community, and a shame indeed for the Filipino nation.  How could the nation allow such a historically valuable property slip through its hands?  Its non-Filipino tenants probably cannot even begin to appreciate how much this landmark means for Filipinos around the world.<br /><br />This property (and the Dalton one, if it ever gets discovered) ought to become more than just a site to pose at for souvenir photographs.  I would like to see it as a testament to Anglo-Filipino relations, to the ties that bind both countries to each other in the spirit of friendship, trade, cultural and even political cooperation.  That is my fervent hope for Filipinos in Britain who have long been in need of an enduring place to meet with pride.  A place where people can bring their families and friends.   A place which can showcase the best of Filipinos, old and even new.  A piece of England forever Philippine.</span><br />
