The employment discrimination cases that have been filed against Sentosa, a New York-based recruitment agency by 27 Filipino health professionals, 26 nurses and 1 physical therapist, was dismissed by the United States Department of Justice (US DOJ) last August 31, 2007.

In a letter dated August 31, Katherine Baldwin, special deputy counsel of the US DOJ Civil Rights Division, said: "Based on its investigation, this office has determined that there is insufficient evidence of reasonable cause to believe the injured parties were discriminated against as prohibited by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b."

The title 8 law deems any form of employment discrimination based on national origin and citizenship status as an unfair immigration-related employment practice.

The case started last April 6, 2006 when the nurses filed discrimination charges against the Sentosa Care LLC of New York as well as against Bent Philipson, Sentosa's legal counsel in the Philippines, and Francis Luyun, Director of International Recruitment for Sentosa. The 27 Filipino health care professionals also accused Sentosa of breach of contract, as they were assigned to work outside the scope specified in the contract.

:: Review of Teh Blogfather ::




In the beginning God created man, and man said "Let there be mayonaisse!" and there was mayonaisse. He looked and he saw that it was good. Not to be undone, woman said "Let there ketchup!" and there was ketchup. She looked and saw that it was good. Later that evening when having roast animal for dinner, they realised fire wasn't invented yet so they used a microwave instead. Adam decided roast animal tasted better with mayo, but Eve assured him that ketchup was better. And that, ladies and gents is how the battle of the sexes began. You heard it here first! Now, were it not for Ellery "Tha Debatanator" Ivaan who's masterful debating skills convinced Adam and Eve that you could actually mix ketchup and mayo, we would not exist today. So in tribute, you better show him some loooove!
