P-Mac International Management, Inc. - MANLOLOKO

December 19th, 2006

Ako po ay isa sa mga nakatanggap ng email galing kay Ginang Cita B. Garcia na sa aking palagay ay dapat maisiwalat ang kanyang liham sa lahat ng pamamaraan upang wala na muling mabiktima ng kumpanyang P-Mac International Management, Inc. Ang nakasaad sa ibaba ay kopya ng kanyang sinulat.

My dear kababayans,

If a recruitment agency after mulcting an applicant divesting him and his family of nearly Php300,000.00 for a non-existent job order, sending the poor guy to Singapore for a non-existent employer and job order; luring him to apply for placement to England and/or United States, all this lasted for nearly a year; the poor guy after being convinced that the agency merely fooled him, he now asks for the return of his money; the agency now treats him like a bestial animal with leprosy, would not allow him to enter their office; shouts at him, even accusing him of being a drug addict, there is nothing left but to throw the owners and managers of this agency to the crocodiles.

This agency, P-Mac International Management Inc., is owned by a woman bereft of decency whose only aim in having an agency is to get the last money of the very poor people and when she could not send them to work abroad treats them worst than the slaves. My dear Filipinos, you will understand the plight of Eric Latade. I am helping him gratis get back his money, but instead of apologizing for not being able to return Eric’s Money, Corazon Panganiban, the owner of P-Mac, tried to intimidate me with her shouting and curses, but I was never afraid. When her bodyguard kicked me on the knee, I summoned all my strength and with a Pacquiao jab I hit him right to his ugly face. I filed cases of illegal recruitment, slight physical injuries, slander, and estafa against all of them.

I now ask you my friends to send-e-mail to POEA’s administrator Ms. Rosalinda Badoz, and tell her that P-Mac should not stay a minute more in this business, Her agency should be closed permanently for illegal recruitment, and that the money of Eric should be returned to him, his mother sells food in small plastic supot. A relative lent him a title to a lot to mortgage so he could pay the placement fee. This mortgage will be foreclosed in February.

After the scuffle, Corazon (no heart) followed us downstairs shouting invectives and unprintable words, but when I turned back to give it to her, five bodyguards intervened. I called up the police patrol in whose presence they admitted that Eric has some money with them but when they showed vouchers showing that they have refunded substantial amount, it was very blatant that the signatures of Eric were falsified. I finished all there was to do for me to file the cases on Monday.

My dear kababayans, this is happening everyday. POEA is toothless when it comes to enforcing its laws because these recruitment agencies are like Mafia, with bodyguards, who threaten and sometimes even harm those who would ask for refunds.

While all these were taking place, I was not afraid even for a second. I was prepared to defend Eric up to my last strength. I am sick and tired of the abuses of this spoiled agencies, its time that they should close the business whose only purpose is to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor. Jesus said, Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. That is a most direct and clear pronouncement that must be obeyed at all costs.

Please send an e-mail to Administrator Baldoz and tell her that POEA should motu propio terminate the license of P-Mac for the many poor people they have cheated of their money, dignity and rights. Marami pong salamat. e-mail of POEA: info@poea.gov.ph

I will meet with her one of these days.

Thanks and best regards.

Sa aking pananaw, tutoo man o hindi ang mga bintang sa email na ito, ako’y nagalaw ang aking kalooban na isiwalat ito  at tingin ko po ay meron itong mensaheng dapat malaman ng kamunduhan, lalo’t na’t ng mga Filipino. Para malaman ang katotohanan, kayo na rin mismo ang magtanong para malaman kung ano ang tutoo. At habang hindi natin nalalaman ang katotohanan, at pinabayaan na lang, baka ngayon sa araw na ito, sa minutong pag basa ninyo nito, ay meron nanaman isang Filipino na niloloko.

Pinoy Isulong! Ituloy AngSulong laban sa mga illegal recruiter.

Karaniwang Tao, Saan Ka Tatakbo?

December 6th, 2006

Nakita ko lang po ito online, kanta po ito ni Joey Ayala, Karaniwang Tao, na may pinagsama-samang mga litrato na nagpapaalala sa atin ng ganda ng Pilipinas na gawa ni shihman2001. At kung tayo, mga karaniwang tao ay hindi ito pinahalagaan, maaring mawala at mapukaw magpakailaman ang bighani ng atin bayan.

Ituloy AngSulong ng ating kalikasan, na tayo mga karaniwang tao ay makakagawa ng kabutihan sa kapaligiran sa ating simpleng pamamaraan. Pinoy Isulong! ni Seoph Martinez.

Karaniwang Tao

by Joey Ayala

Ako po’y karaniwang tao lamang
Kayod-kabayo, ‘yan ang alam
Karaniwang hanapbuhay
Karaniwan ang problema
Pagkain, damit at tirahan

‘di ko kabisado ‘yang siyensiya
Ako’y nalilito sa maraming salita
Alam ko lang na itong planeta’y
Walang kapalit at dapat ingatan
Kapag nasira, sino ang kawawa?

Chorus

Karaniwang tao, saan ka tatakbo
Kapag nawasak iisang mundo?
Karaniwang tao, anong magagawa
Upang bantayan ang kalikasan?

Karaniwang bagay ay ‘di pansin
Kapag naipon ay nagiging suliranin
Kaunting basura ngayo’y bundok
Kotseng gabok ay umuusok
Sabong panlaba’y pumapatay sa ilog

May lason na galing sa industriya
Ibinubuga ng mga pabrika
Ngunit ‘di lamang higante
Ang nagkakalat ng dumi
May kinalaman din ang tulad natin

[repeat chorus twice]

Karaniwang tao [4x]

[repeat chorus]

Karaniwang tao
[repeat till fade]
