Jepang need Nurses !!!!

Japan – Manila Pact Filipino nurses sought

Tokyo, Sept 11 (AFP)

Japan said Monday it will accept up to 400 nurses and 600 caregivers from the Philippines in a first-of-a-kind provision under a free trade agreement between the two Asian countries.

The quota will cover an initial period of two years. Tetsou Tsuji, the administrative vice labor minister, told a news conference. "We consider the numbers appropriate in the sense that they will not have an adverse effect on the labor market in Japan, " he said.

While small number, it marked the first time that Japan, which strictly control immigration, has accepted foreign workers as part of a bilateral trade pact. Japan has also been holding talks with Indonesia and other Asian countries on admitting nurses and caregivers.

The deal was signed in Helsinki on Saturday by Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and Philippine President Gloria Aroyo ahead of a meeting there of Asian and European Leaders.

Semoga dapat difollow up oleh pihak yang berwenang di Indonesia !!!!

Memang sudah sejak lama Kantor Kepresidenan Philipina dan Depkes disana sangat memperhatikan penempatan perawat Philipina di luar negeri. Semua sistem administrasi bahkan langsung di stamp/di acc oleh presidennya.
Mereka tahu bahwa 40% income Negara Philipina berasal dari revenue/kiriman uang dari tenaga kerja Philipina di luar negeri terutama terbesar dari Perawat

How about Us ??????
