Bagong Bayani Ayaw Kay Gloria (Korea Chapter)

To:  Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

We, the undersigned OFWs in South Korea, their relatives and supporters,
Call on Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to step down.

We have had enough of seven years of your administration's high-level
corruption, gross human rights violations, political killings, abductions,
electoral fraud, artificial economic development and subservience to
foreign interests.

We have had enough of your policy to export and commodify our labor,
your extortion and criminal neglect of migrant workers and their families.

We have had enough of your cover-ups and gangsterism.

The recent revelation by Jun Lozada about the anomalous NBN-ZTE dea
is but the latest in a long line of corruption cases hounding your administration.
Recent surveys show that 8 out 10 Filipinos want you to step down (IBON,
January 2008) and that most Filipinos believe you are the ¡°most corrupt
President in the history of the Philippines¡± (Pulse Asia, October 2007).

Through your billion peso kickbacks, you essentially steal food away from
our families¡¯ plates, rob our children¡¯s access to quality education, deprive
our sick adequate public health care and withhold from migrants the urgent
welfare services we need.

Given our recent victories to save the life of Marilou Ranario and for the
Temporary suspension of the POEA MC 04 Guidelines on Direct Hiring, we
are confident that when overseas Filipinos and their families unite, much
can be achieved.

As such, in line with CBCP President Angel Lagdameo¡¯s call for ¡°communal
action¡± and recalling the spirit of EDSA I and EDSA II, we commit to again
rise up to the challenge of booting yet another corrupt and dictatorial
President out of office.

As the country¡¯s ¡°Bagong Bayani¡± or modern-day heroes, we deplore how
your administration intensifies its reliance on our remittances to prop up
your bankrupt economy.

Enough of your affronts to our dignity. Enough of your violations against
our rights and welfare. Enough of your lies to the people.


Tama Na! Sobrang-sobra Na! Tapusin Na! Babay Gloria!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
