Persida Acosta - Regarding overtime pay - manilatimes.net - Philippines - city Manila

Regarding overtime pay

Dear PAO, I worked for a domestic shipping company that delivers consignments from Metro Manila to different parts of the Philippines. I resigned from the shipping company last month. I would like to know if I can receive overtime pay since I stayed in the cargo vessel for at least three months whenever I was on duty. Although we did not work beyond eight hours, we could only leave the shipping vessel once all the cargoes were delivered. I am now demanding overtime pay from my former employer before I sign the quitclaim they sent me. Am I legally entitled to overtime pay? Anthony

BrahMos For Philippines: India's Symbolic Win In the Choppy Indo-Pacific

A new phase in India's defence ties with the Philippines commenced last week when the Indian Air Force handed the first batch of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines. Manila had first expressed its interest in 2019, with a $375 million contract signed in 2022 for the supply of three batteries of the shore-based, anti-ship variant of the BrahMos to the Philippines by BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd, an Indo-Russian joint venture. Apart from two missile launchers, a radar and a command-and-control centre, the pact includes an integrated logistics support package and training for those manning the systems.

Maybe no Fed rate cuts in FY24? - philstar.com - Philippines - Usa - county Jerome - city Powell, county Jerome

Maybe no Fed rate cuts in FY24?

A recent CNBC article [link] captured the growing concern that the US Federal Reserve’s first rate cut – the infamous “pivot” – might not happen until “at least September”, and discusses a few analysts (including those from Bank of America) who have said that there is “real risk” that the first cut might not even come until March 2025. All this comes after the Fed’s Chairman, Jerome Powell, said that there’s been a “lack of further progress” on the Fed’s fight against inflation and that it’s going to take even longer than expected to back off the high rates needed to contain the inflationary risk. Analysts in the article point to Mr. Powell’s desire to see sustained evidence of inflation’s demise across consecutive months, with one analyst from Moody’s saying that even if the US saw three straight months of 2% or lower inflation, the earliest the Fed could begin cutting rates would be five months from now in September.
