Israel pledges support for families of 4 Filipinos killed in Hamas attack
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration confirmed on Friday that the Israeli government will extend long-term support to the families of the four Filipinos who were killed during the attack by the militant group Hamas in Israel. OWWA Administrator Arnell Ignacio said in an interview that the information was received by the agency from the Israel Embassy in the Philippines. “They are treated like Israeli citizens, so their benefits are the same as those of an Israeli citizen,” Ignacio said. The four identified deceased Filipinos were Grace Prodigo Cabrera, Loreta Alacre, Angeline Aguirre, and Paul Vincent Castevi. The families of the four Filipinos will also receive monthly support and yearly monetary benefits in addition to assistance with funeral mourning costs. The Israeli Embassy stressed that they would extend their assistance not only to the families of the Filipinos killed in the Hamas attack but also to those who were injured. Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss, reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to providing aid to all foreign victims of the ongoing attacks, including Filipinos. "We recognize them as victims of terrorism and for that then they will be receiving assistance, either the parents, spouses or children accordingly," Fluss said in an interview. "Financial assistance, their monthly income. If they need assistance in education, in healthcare, housing… as long as they are in Israel and documented," he added. Meanwhile, Ignacio added that 58 Filipinos from Israel are scheduled to land on Monday.

4 Pinoys killed in Israel getting aid — Fluss
The Israeli government, through its Ambassador to the Philippines, Ilan Fluss, assured the families of four Filipinos who died when Hamas terrorists attacked Israel that they would receive financial aid. “As long as they are documented and in Israel, then the Israeli government will recognize them as victims of terrorism. For that, they will be receiving financial assistance — their parents, spouses, their children, accordingly,” Fluss told members of the media. The talk with Fluss was organized by the Israel Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines. “We have clear legislation for helping Israelis in this case, as well as Filipinos and other foreign nationals. This will come in the form of financial assistance on a monthly basis, depending on whether they need assistance in education, health care, or even a grant for housing, as clearly stated in Israeli law,” Fluss said. “The aid will be coursed through either the Philippine government or to the families of the victims,” he added. Photos of four Filipino caregivers who perished during the war were displayed during the forum, namely Ilongga OFW Grace Prodigo Cabrera, who chose to be taken away by Hamas to save the 80-year-old Israeli woman under her care; Angelyn Peralta Aguirre, a 33-year-old who was killed along with her patient in Israel; Loreta Alacre, who was shot to death by Hamas while she was on her way back to her employer; and Paul Vincent Castelvi. Meanwhile, with the report that two missing Filipinos are now in the hands of Hamas as hostages, Ambassador Fluss said they are leaving the responsibility to the Philippine government to provide updates. “There are formal channels of communication between the two governments. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquartered in Jerusalem is constantly coordinating with the Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv, while we are coordinating here with the DFA,” he said.

Israel envoy assures financial aid to 4 Filipino victims
The Israeli government, through its envoy in the Philippines, Ambassador Ilan Fluss—assured the families of four Filipinos who earlier died in the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian Sunni-Islamic terror group Hamas—that they will be receiving enough financial aid from the Israeli government distinguishing them as victims of terrorism. “As long as they are documented and in Israel, then the Israeli government will recognize them as victims of terrorism. For that, they will be receiving financial assistance, their parents, spouses, their children, accordingly,” Fluss told members of the media during the forum “Coming Together: An Afternoon of Unity, Prayer, and Solidarity with Israel” in Makati City on Thursday, organized by the Israel Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines. “We have clear legislation in helping Israelis in this case, as well as Filipinos and other foreign nationals. This will come in financial assistance on a monthly basis, depending on if they need assistance in education, health care, or even a grant for housing, as clearly stated in Israeli law. The aid will be coursed through either the Philippine government or to the families of the victims,” he added. Photos of four Filipino caregivers who perished during the war were displayed during the forum, namely Ilongga OFW Grace Prodigo Cabrera, who chose to be taken away by Hamas to save the 80-year-old Israeli woman under her care; Angelyn Peralta Aguirre, a 33-year-old, who was killed along with her patient in Israel; Loreta Alacre who was shot to death by Hamas while she was on her way back to her employer, and Paul Vincent Castelvi, who was also killed during the onset of the war. Meanwhile, with the report that the two missing Filipinos are now in the hands of Hamas as hostages, Ambassador Fluss said they are leaving the responsibility to the Philippine government to provide updates. “There are formal channels of communication between the two governments. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquartered in Jerusalem is constantly coordinating with the Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv, while we are coordinating here with the DFA,” he said. The DFA on Thursday said they are verifying reports that the two missing Filipinos in Israel were taken hostage by Hamas with the Israeli Embassy in the Philippines. According to the report of the Israeli government and international multimedia news provider Reuters, two Filipinos who were previously tagged as missing were among the estimated 220 hostages held by Hamas. Fluss maintained that the Israeli government "is dedicated to dismantling and destroying all the infrastructure made by Hamas forces in Gaza, bringing back the abducted Israeli and foreign nationals held in Gaza," but emphasizing that "they are not planning to occupy Gaza." For the part of the Israel Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, its president Yoray Ofek, stressed that they stand behind Israel and aired utmost support to the Israeli government.

Selyado 5.0 cyber security forum highlights privacy-enabled secure systems
Union Bank of the Philippines recently held the fifth iteration of its annual Selyado series, which focused on data privacy and security. Led by data privacy and cyber security experts from the public and private sectors, the event entitled “Selyado 5.0: Fostering A Privacy-Enabled Secure System” aimed to raise awareness and promote privacy-enabled secure ecosystems for Filipinos through four different activities held from 17 May to 7 June 2023. “This year’s Selyado is all about empowering ordinary Filipinos with the knowledge that will help them safeguard their data and privacy, which is invaluable in a world where threat actors are becoming more innovative in their methods of causing harm in the digital space,” said UnionBank Data Privacy Office head and deputy data protection officer Atty. Jesse Pauline Solis, who presided over the event. Kicking off the event was “Selyado on Wheels: School Edition,” a symposium designed for Grade 10 students held in partnership with Pasig City Science High School. It featured Privacy Compliance officer Atty. Danniel Amorin provided practical strategies for safeguarding personal information, while DevSecOps engineer Johann Paolo Abog discussed cybersecurity fundamentals, including identifying phishing and scams and securing accounts and sensitive data. UnionBank’s chief information security officer Joey Rufo delivered the closing remarks, emphasizing that the youth who are safe and secure online are the nation’s hope. On 24 May, UnionBank led an online roundtable discussion where Rufo, together with the Data Protection Officers of the Aboitiz Group (Christine Kempeneers of Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Ed Monares of Pilmico Food Group, Atty. Ernie Villarin of Visayan Electric Co., Inc., and Atty. Mischele Sta. Ana of Aboitiz Land) talked about data privacy and the importance of data subject rights. The “Selyado on Wheels” symposium was conducted for the Banilad Center for Professional Development in Cebu City students with the theme “Fostering a Privacy-Enabled Secure Ecosystem.” The event was crucial in cultivating a privacy -conscious and cyber-resilient community, particularly among the youth. Selyado 5.0 culminated on 7 June with discussions led by experts, who delivered insightful talks that addressed critical aspects of data privacy and security. National Privacy Commission Deputy Commissioner Atty. Leandro Angelo Aguirre emphasized the significance of safeguarding personal data, particularly for the younger generation. He cited potential risks posed by online quizzes and surveys designed to extract sensitive information, underscored the role of parents as the “frontline defenders,” and encouraged them “to be vigilant, read terms and conditions, and monitor their children’s online activities.” The post Selyado 5.0 cyber security forum highlights privacy-enabled secure systems appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
