Nineteen years after her death, we are reviving the memory of an OFW who
was executed in Singapore for a crime unwittingly committed. She became the
symbol of Filipino migrant workers who sacrificed to
be separated from her loved ones to find a chance for her family to survive the
daily life. She was none other than Flor Contemplcion.
Migrante Southern Tagalog firmly believe that hers was only one of million
cases of Filipino migrants who experienced abuses, maltreatments and injustices
abroad. The stark truth of lack or absence of job opportunity and livelihood in
our country is the cause of our workers’ exudos to foreign countries. They have
to suffer contract swapping, illegal arrest and imprisonment, low salaries or
at times, receiving no salaries and other forms of abuses. Many Ofws dared to remain
in their jobs inspite of human rights violations which are widely prevalent
against them.
With this in mind, Migrante Southern Tagalog in collaboration with the Councils
of Churches of San Pablo city is launching TALAKAYANG MIGRANTE on the coming
March 17 2014. This discussion will herald the commencement of the
International campaign against Human Tafficking and recognize the day of Flor
Contemplacions’s sacrificial death at the UCCP-First Evangelical Church at C.
Penaloza St. San Pablo City 1400 (2PM). There will be a mass, honoring Flor, followed
by a program and a forum afterwards.
TALAKAYANG MIGRANTE
17 Marso 2014 | 2:00PM | Lunes
UCCP-First Evangelical Church San Pablo City, Laguna
Sigaw ng Pilipinong Migrante:
Isalba ang Buhay ng mga OFWs!
Itigil ang Human Trafficking!
