"First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me."

Filipinos in Canada join global call to Oust GMA

National Statement
25 February 2008

Overseas Filipinos in Canada join global call to oust
the corrupt Philippine President Arroyo

As progressive overseas Filipino migrant workers,
youth and women we join our voices to the thousands of
Filipinos in the Philippines and around the world who
rallied today to mark the anniversary of EDSA 1 People
Power uprising by calling for the ouster of the fake,
corrupt and fascist Philippine President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo.

We congratulate the broad united front lead by Bagong
Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) along with other patriotic
and progressive groups who rallied throughout the
nation today and in Manila for reaching Mendiola
Bridge near Malacanang Palace for the first time in
two years. As overseas Filipinos in Canada, we are
also outraged by the latest revelations regarding the
controversial billion dollar Zhong Xing
Telecommunications Equipment Limited (ZTE) National
Broadband Network (NBN) deal.

The Filipino people including those overseas have had
enough of this corrupt, fascist and fake US-Arroyo
regime. We encourage and support the thousands of
Filipinos who are bringing their outrage to the
streets in various forms of protest. We know that it
is only through another People Power that Arroyo can
be removed from office.

We also support the call of the broad united front for
a government to replace Arroyo that will promote the
advancement of the people’s struggle for a sovereign,
democratic, progressive and pro-people system.

We call on all progressive and patriotic Filipinos to
register their support for the call to oust Arroyo and
join in nationally-coordinated activities in the
upcoming months.

Oust the corrupt, fake, puppet and fascist Arroyo!
Pahirap sa migrante! Patalsikin si GMA!
