OFW group in KSA support Kuya Ted for Senator
Riyadh, KSA - If you’re an OFW and an Absentee Voter who wants to be represented in the Senate. You must vote for candidates who have a heart for OFWs.
Kalipunang Kaakabay ng Manggagawang Pilipino sa Ibayong Dagat (KAKAMPI) through its Political and Legal Affairs Committee Chairman Manuel “Bong” Amora and the founder of KAKAMPI is requesting absentee voters not only in the Kingdom but also around the globe to vote for a candidate that would bring the voice of OFWs in the Philippine Upper House of Congress.
The group is endorsing the candidacy of Engr. Theodore Aquino, “Kuya Ted” to his friends in the Filipino global community. Kuya Ted, an OFW is a Civil Engineer based in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. and current President of U.P. Alumni Association in America.
“Please call, write, text, persuade, convince your parents, brothers, sisters, in-laws, cousins, relatives and friends to support us "OFWs in our long quest for electoral equality, our right to vote and to be voted upon for public office”, Bong Amora said in his opening statement through email. Absentee Voters will vote early on April 11 this year in the Philippine midterm national election. Kuya Ted is scheduled to visit the Kingdom to laid down his platform of office for OFWs.
On question of Engr. Theodore Aquino residency and a possible nuisance candidate, Bong Amora said, “Kuya Ted is a Filipino citizen and a resident of the Philippines. He was born to a Filipino father and a Filipino mother”, he added that “Kuya Ted never renounced his Filipino citizenship and a Philippine resident from the time he was born and whenever he enters the Philippines from trips to foreign land in connection of his work as an Overseas Filipino Worker, he is not visiting the country – he is going home, to where his home is the Philippines”.
To those who want to know more about “Kuya Ted” you can visit the Internet site http://www.kuyated.info, a home site of Kuya Ted’s senatorial candidacy.
Manuel Amora, a community leader and an OFW in KSA for 12 years who is also at present the Secretary General of OFW Congress-Riyadh in his blog entry (http://www.funchain.com/~ofwempowerment) titled “Philippine Politics: Democracy and our Votes” requested the Filipino voters to “fight for the introduction of new faces and the purging of old, corrupted politicians and our challenge is to educate the voters about issues, processes and candidates and to also encourage good candidates to put themselves forward to run for office”.
“It is about time that new faces in Philippine politics should emerge and this could only be realized if we really have the will to choose the right one,” he also emphasized that KAKAMPI-KSA is also supporting the candidacy of Paredes, Sison and Bautista under the “Ang Kapatiran Party”. Likewise he personally supports the winnable candidate Chiz Escudero for Senator.
In the question of how can the group campaign for the above named candidate? Bong Amora explained that “there are a lot of avenues that we can do and many ways is the fulcrum of change if we really mean it” he emphasized that “in the world of information technology you can share your two cents worth of support that could bring an OFW in the Senate”. He is referring to his friendster account (http://www.friendster.com/bongamora) that he used to campaign candidates of his choice.
“We cannot afford anymore losses this time, we have tried it before through party list representation but we constantly failed. Who knows this time, the Phillipine electorate and OFWs in particular are now very mature enough and tired of politicians whose priorities are their personal interest rather than to serve the Filipino people” he further elaborate.
His last piece of advises, “I still believed that every Filipinos deserves a say in the decisions that affect their lives and not be subject to the will of another. Perhaps we should adapt new ways of thinking, we should not look back to the negative side of politics instead we look for an answer to correct the wrong side of politics. The spirit of change can only be achieved if the people participate in an honest to goodness election and vote for new faces that could put our country move forward. Afterall, it is for us to choose the future we are creating today”.
