hi all. we met briefly today at dawn's office to discuss about owwa and philhealth.
present were pmrw members, jun aguilar, mike bolos, roger cordero, roger san andres

in line with ka rashid's challenge for the sector to be pro active with our engagements with government, we agreed to "oppose and propose" on the matter of the selection of the owwa administrator.

a draft statement, many thanks to lisa of dawn for drafting the statement, is being circulated now for finalisation. we will share it asap, hopefully within the day. for your reference.

the core message: no to pichay! we nominate as owwa administrator, one of our own from the migrant sector -- mike bolos, jr.... mike was an ofw in saudi for 25 years. he reintegrated in the philippines in 2005; he was one of the icofvr core
 member in saudi during the campaign for the passage of the oav; he was a member of cma board of trustees. last year he was awarded entrepreneur of the year for region 3.

we will share more information about mike bolos later.  or you may also google him.

let's coordinate our efforts on this.


more later. pauna lang muna ito. salamat.
