Press Release on Registered Voters who have yet to Receive their Electoral Mails

The Philippine Embassy in Oslo wishes to advise all registered Filipino voters in the Nordic region that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has released the following new guidelines to ensure that those registered voters who have yet to receive their electoral mails would be able to vote for the 13 May 2013 national elections:

1. Registered voters are requested to verify the inclusion of their names in the Certified List of Overseas Absentee Voters: http://www.comelec.gov.ph/oav/?r=tpl/find_registration_-_individual_search

or the List of those who failed to vote twice
http://www.comelec.gov.ph/oav/?r=tpl/oav_lists/list_of_overseas_absentee…

2. If you have not yet received your ballot by mail and your name appears in any of the above lists, you will be able to vote by personally appearing at the Philippine Embassy in Oslo, Norway.

3. You will need to present a valid identification card (with photo) at the Embassy to establish your identity as the listed voter.

4. A ballot will be issued to you, which you will accomplish inside the premises of the Embassy. Voters are advised to read carefully and follow the instructions contained in the electoral mail.

5. Official Ballot Envelopes should be received by the Philippine Embassy by 1:00 p.m. of 13 May 2013.

For further queries, you may email the Embassy at ambassador@philembassy.no.

Overseas Voting for the May 2013 National Elections

The Philippine Embassy in Oslo would like to advise the Filipino communities in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Sweden that overseas voting for the 2013 National (Senatorial) Elections will be held from 13 April to 13 May 2013.

The method of voting for registered overseas voters in these five countries will be postal voting which means that electoral mails containing the official ballots and other election paraphernalia are sent directly by the COMELEC to the voters through mail.

If you have received your electoral mail, we advise you to please read and carefully follow the instructions stated in the electoral mail before casting your vote. In particular, you should not forget to:

  • Affix your thumb mark on the ballot coupon which is located on the lower portion of the official ballot;
  • Detach the ballot coupon;
  • Fold the ballot and seal it with the provided paper seal;
  • Place the sealed ballot and the detached ballot coupon inside the provided ballot envelope;
  • Write their name and affix their signature on the upper left-hand corner of the ballot envelope

Once you have completed and sealed your ballot, please mail the provided envelope (OAVF No. 45) to the Philippine Embassy in Oslo. Please note that in some ballot envelopes, the address of the Embassy may have been erroneously printed as (NEDRE VOLLGATE 5) instead of NEDRE VOLLGATE 4. Please change the street number from 5 to 4 to reflect the correct address of the Embassy.

Mailed ballots have to be received by the Embassy on or before 1:00 p.m. of 13 May 2013. Since the postage for the return mail is not pre-paid, voters will have to purchase and affix appropriate postage stamps before mailing their ballot.

Registered overseas voters who have not yet received their electoral mails from Comelec can inquire with the Embassy by sending an email to ambassador@philembassy.no (Subject Heading : “OV 2013).

Aupair and Host Family Handbook

A Handbook for Au pairs and Host Families in Denmark

A project of Babaylan-Denmark

First Edition (version 1.4) Updated 1 May 2013

This Handbook for Au pairs and Host Families in Denmark was prepared by members of Babaylan-Denmark (The Philippine Women’s Network) on volunteer basis.  It is provided free of charge via download from our website.  It is prepared in a Question-and-Answer format and is based on the most common questions we have received over many years of working with Filipino au pairs, Danish host families, and government authorities in two countries, Denmark and the Philippines.

We wrote this Handbook for Filipinos who are considering becoming au pairs in Denmark, and for host families who want to try having au pairs from the Philippines in their homes.  We also wrote it for current au pairs and hosts who are not able to attend our seminars and other activities.

The Handbook discusses rules and regulations, practical advice, the importance of communication, case studies, and contact information.

To download the the Handbook in PDF format, kindly click on the image.
