Fortress bothered by OFW remittance boycott

03.03.08 | 7 Comments

The threatened remittance boycott by OFWs has the Fortress and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas bothered, reports GMA News.

Let’s give way to Lorelei Fajardo, Fortress loudspeaker and one reasons why I don’t like Fortress propaganda:

Such a call is irresponsible and tantamount to economic sabotage. Their action will not benefit anybody. It could cause a serious setback to our economic gains, bringing greater damage to their loved ones and the nation as a whole.

Huh? But you told us that the economy is on its way up? What’s US$30 million delayed a day against that ginormous 7.3% GDP rate that you are harping about? Well, what the Fortress doesn’t want every Juan to know is that our economy is being driven by OFW remittances.

Ms. Fajardo, here’s a tip: tell your Raul Gonzalez to charge each and every OFW who doesn’t send remittance with economic sabotage. Wag natin daanin sa daldal, idaan natin sa proseso, ilabas ang ebidensya. Mmmk?

OFWs, show the Fortress who’s the boss.

(LOYALISTS: If the economy is that robust as your idol claims, how come she and her people are afraid of one-day-only boycott? Surely it should not affect the economy, right? Besides, the day after the boycott OFWs will remit the money naman eh. Masyado lang paranoid ang idol nyo. So just sit back, relax, and see the lies crumble. Enjoy!)

Correct. They should show who’s the boss.

I believe that many OFWs were badly hurt when the government tried to implement MC-04. It was a clear testament to the administration’s greed and lust for money.

Marami talagang mga OFW ang hindi nasiyahan sa ginawa nila. Hindi ko alam kung kasama si Pangulong Arroyo sa planong gatasan ang mga OFW pero dahil siya ang pangulo, damay siya. Command responsibility, ika nga. I would’ve expected her to ask for a few resignations from her labor heads to show the people that she does not tolerate such incompetence. Instead, she just asked Sec Brion and Adminstrator Baldoz to suspend the memorandum.

BTW, I tried to click the link to the GMA News but I think it’s broken.

Why not make it a week? And resume only after GMA and the rest of those who joined her in her “unity walks” to resign.

Now that would be an awesome new form of People Power.
