Fwd: [pinoy-abroad-forum] Vic Barrios' proposal on OWWA/clarifications for Manay Edna
rashid fabricante
Then join in hands brave and principled OFWs, volunteers, advocates, e_mandirigmas and all! By Uniting we stand, by dividing we fall!
Whatever shared sense of moral purpose why we exist and have to stand on our grounds is a wake up call for all Overseas Filipinos wherever they are: We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose-the OFW's must stand the severest strain among us without breaking!

Ka Jun,
In response to your email below on item 2:
"2. On Dr.
Astillero's plan to run in the Senate in 2010, the PPP-ICC has never heard nor
discussed anything about that plan in the Council. As Bong Amora explained, Dr
Astillero may had been misquoted just like what happened to the news article
involving myself in the Inquirer article during the GFN Conference"
I would like you to know that I can categorically say that in fairness to Veron, Dr. Lito's political ambition is embedded to his blood since the days I knew him 10 years ago in Riyadh. I can say how he courted us, Ka Rashid and yours truly, to gain our endorsement in his political plan for party-list representative way back 2000. He was relentless in his invitation for a coffee talk somewhere around Riyadh to discuss his plans on his political ambition and you can ask him of these words "I am old enough and had reached the tip of everything except politics and he wanted to be elected or to win a seat in the Congress before he retires dahil ito na lang ang kulang sa mga medalya niyang natamo".
He will do everything he want, he will use everyone he want just to achieve his political ambition and I am sorry to know that you are on who believes he can, if not used to believe in him.
Ka Rashid and I knew him from toe to head, from his brain to heart – sorry to say he has no heart for OFWs in its real sense. OKOR din po ako (but I expelled myself from being one) – but the ideals of Rizal can be found in me.
Sir, better ask him who is he in his backyard (in Al-Mishari hospital) – do you know that all the employees of the hospital bears the cost of electrical consumption in the hospital provided accommodation? – at wala siyang nagawa na ipaglaban ito. Do you know also when one hospital staff filed the case at the Saudi Labor office regarding this issue and he won; the Labor office ordered Al-Mishari hospital to refund him SR. 15,000, but thanks to Dr. Lito's intervention – he convinced the poor hospital staff to accept Al-Mishari's offer of SR. 7,000 settlement – dahil kapag hindi raw niya ito tinanggap ay may masamang mangyayari sa kanya – kaya sabi ni Dr. – kung ako ikaw tanggapin ko na ang SR. 7,000 para walang masamang mangyari sa kanya at baka pera na maging bato pa… ito po ba ang uri ng lingkod-bayan na pwede nating pagkatiwalaan?
Kung iisa-isahin po namin ang katangian ni Dr. Lito Astillero – lahat po ng magagandang nakasaad sa resume nya kasama na ang mga award at medalyang natanggap nya – lahat po ito ay mabubura ng katotohanang manggagaling sa amin.
Bong Amora & Francis Oca said that he is also an active advocate of OAV – that is a blatant lie – ask the real OAV advocates – even Alex Bello can attest to the veracity of this statement. Sabi ni Bong dahil hindi lang internet savvy at techie si Dr. kaya hindi sya kilala sa cyberspace on OAV issues – e kahit sa Riyadh ground – nasaan SIYA?
From day 1 – eLagda Riyadh na ang nasa frontline at nag-coop ng lahat ng mga interesado at supportive na community organizations noon dito sa Saudi Arabia at maging globally – ni minsan hindi siya naging bahagi even ng core group o supporters when we launched the campaign and strategic planning on OAV.
Nasaan siya noong unang ilunsad ang unang-unang "Call to Action on OWWA re-structuring"? Ni ha ni ho – hindi kami nakatanggap ng pagsuporta sa kanya – Dr. Alex Ganapin (if he still alive) can attest to the truth of this statement.
Ilan pa lang iyan Ka Jun – siguro mauunawaan mo kami kung bakit ni hindi mo masilayan ang mga pangalan ng kilala at bantog na "back-bone" ng V-Team sa mga kampanya at usapan. Sabi nga ni Ka Vic Barrazona – nakakatulong na sa kanya ang pananahimik ng V-Team dahil once na magbigay kami ng komento – this will jeopardize their move.
To tell you the truth, mga emails at tawag sa telepono ang natatanggap ng bawa't isang kasapi ng V-team, nagtatanong kung ano ang nararapat nilang gawin – kung bakit hindi nila makita ang mga pangalan namin sa mga forum at sa online petition – bakit umatras si Mike Bolos? Bakit tahimik kami at walang ini-endorso - Lahat ng mga iyan ay kailangan naming sagutin ng may katapatan.
Ang pananahimik naming ay bahagi ng aming pagsuporta kay Ka Mike Bolos at sa kanyang pagsusulong ng "pagkakaisa at pag-iwas na kumawala ang kapit-bisig ng ating hanay" – sapagka't naniniwala kami na ang boses ng V-Team ay kahalintulad ng isang antigong kampana – maliit ngunit may taginting – dahil sa kadalisayan ng elemento nito – ang aming puso at malinis na hangarin – na walang halong interes-pulitikal at di-makasarili.
Ang pag-nombra kay Dr. Lito na taglay niya ang partido-pulitikal na PPP ay nagdulot ng diktadura sa hanay ng inyong partido – dahil sa hindi tamang proseso ng konsultasyon. This is a destructive to the very essence of your party's mandate so to say – many non-partisan like me will agree with me that what happened in your party's nomination of Dr. Lito is an affront to your party's political mandate and principles that you used in uniting other organizations to join PPP – Mr. Jojie Umali can say something about it – sorry in quoting your words.
Now, who is dividing OFWs – kami ba? Si Ka Mike Bolos ba? O ang mga self-serving OFW leader like Dr. Lito Astillero who cannot afford to give-way to a younger and well-meaning qualified generations of today – who is not willing to do a "Mike Bolos" supreme sacrifice for the sake of OFWs unity – whose political ambition is embedded entirely in him.
Please enlighten me if I am wrong….

I know what it feels like to be misquoted so I take
care in my job that I don't do that. Here, and in several other e-mails,
blogs, etc., I was told that I had misquoted Mr. Victor Barrios for saying that
he has set up a political party for the 2010 elections. I did not.
In this particular thread of this egroup, I guess I am also the one being
referred to for misquoting Mr. Jun Aguilar because I write for INQUIRER.net.
For the record, and repeating what I told Mr. Barrios when he called me up to
call my attention to the supposed misquote. Of the Global Filipino Nation
conference in Makati,
I never quoted him at all.
Please view article: http://archive.inquirer.net/view.php?db=1&story_id=135620,
where you will see that I quoted Mr. Aguilar and Mr. Bello on the establishment
of the PPP and the OAV respectively.
I hope this clears things up once and all, and stop the accusations that I
misquoted anyone.
Thank you very much.
Veronica Uy

Dear Manay,
As the Chair of the PPP International Coordinating Council, I'm putting it upon
myself to clarify the issues you have raised which I believe is valid and
relevant.
1. PPP is just one among the many Political Parties who participated in the GFN
Conference. There is nothing that binds GFN & PPP except the implementation
of the Political Logframe which we got involved. While I myself is a founding
member of the Global Filipinos, Vic has made GFN's stance (of being apolitical)
from day one and we in PPP respects that. I likewise confirm that Vic is not a
member of the PPP but remains consistent in supporting any political party that
espouses good governance.
2. On Dr. Astillero's plan to run in the Senate in 2010, the PPP-ICC has never
heard nor discussed anything about that plan in the Council. As Bong Amora
explained, Dr Astillero may had been misquoted just like what happened to the
news article involving myself in the Inquirer article during the GFN
Conference.
Manay, you may have read Prof Ceasar's email's quoting the suggestion of Tita
Offie Bakker & Anita Sese-Schon for me to run for a National Post, even
Ellene, Meann and Mai are sometimes calling me Congressman. These are mere
opinions/joke of the Ladies and I respect them for that. However, I would like
to clarify that those comments/opinion does not enter my head seriously even
for a single second. Needless to say but I believe I know my size very well. I
never discussed nor mentioned to anyone of them that I'm interested or planning
to run for any elective post. The same could have happened to Dr. Lito
Astillero.
I hope I have made the subject clear and straight forward this time.
Cheers!
Jun
