Kamtin ang Tagumpay, Harapin ang Hamon ng Bagong Taon
Ang taong 2009 ay isang malaking tagumpay sa ating lahat lalo na sa All UP Workers Union Manila!
Sa taong ito ating nakamit ang lahat halos na benepisyong nakasaad sa ating Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) na pinirmahan sa pagitan ng Unibersidad at ng Unyon noong ika-12 ng Disyembre 2009. Kabilang sa naipatupad sa taong ito ang 3-days CNA Sick Leave at 2-days Nursing Mother’s Leave. Ngayong taon din, sa pangunguna ng HRDO at HRDD ng UP Manila at PGH, ayon sa pagkakasunod, napagana ang lahat at nakita ang bentahe ng Unit APC-PERC hanggang sa Cluster/Division Level. Tayo lamang sa buong UP System ang may epektibong APC-PERC hanggang sa Cluster/Division Level dahil na rin sa ating paggigiit ng higit na “participatory governance.” Sa pakikipagtulungan ng Grievance & Negotiation Committee ng Unyon at ng Opisina ng Vice Chancellor for Administration, naitatag ang UP Manila Grievance Pool na siyang tagapagtaguyod ng UP Grievance Machinery. Dito lang din sa UP Manila mayroong gumaganang grievance machinery na batay sa inaprobahan ng Civil Service Commission para sa unibersidad Tayo din sa UP Manila/PGH ang nagtala ng pinakamaraming boto para sa kaunahang pagpili ng Staff Regent, kahit pa ang ating dinalang kandidato ay mula sa UP Diliman na ngayon ay Regente nang si Buboy Cabrera – ang Pambansang Pangulo ng unyon sa taong 1998-2008.
At sa pagtapos ng taong 2009, sa aktibong pakikilahok ng unyon sa pagpili ng PGH Direktor sa kampanyang nitong “no to third term to the incumbent” muling naitala sa kasaysayang ang napili ng UP Board of Regents ay ang hindi inindorso ng UP Administration.
Ang lahat ng mga ito ay ating nakamtan dahil sa mahigpit nating pagtangan sa mga batayang prinsipyo ng militante, progresibo at makabayang unyonismo. Pag-uunyong mulat, ayon sa pag-aaral at karanasan, mula sa kasapian at mga kawani tungo sa mga kasapian at mga kawani. At dito natin lubos at higit na pinagpupugayan ang mahigpit na partisipasyon ng mga kasapian ng unyon at kapwa manggagawa ng PGH at UP Manila.
Sa pagpasok ng taong 2010, mas malaki ang hamon sa ating magpalawak – higit na pagmumulat, pag-oorganisa at pagpapakilos para sa kapakanan ng mga kawani, ng ospital at ng unibersidad, at higit sa lahat, ang ibayong paglilingkod sa ating bayan.
Ang ibayong paglilingkod sa bayan at hindi negosyo ay hamon din natin sa bagong Direktor ng PGH. Marahil, isang salik ang hindi pag-endorso ng UP Administration, subalit hindi sila ang dapat pagsilbihan kungdi ang bayan. At kailanaman ang pusong tunay na naglilingkod sa bayan ay lubos at tunay ding kinikilala ng Sambayanan. Sa pakikipagtulungan ng mga kawani ng ospital, ng unyon, ng mga taong nagmamahal sa ating institusyon at sa bayan - tayong lahat ay may magagawa para higit na makapagsilbi sa Sambayanang Pilipino.
Mabuhay ang ating unyon! Mabuhay ang mga kawani ng Ospital at ng Unibersidad na tunay na naglilingngkod sa Sambayanan. Mabuhay ang mga kawani sa Pamahalaan na sa harap ng pambubusabos ng mga matataas na opisyal sa pangunguna ng de facto na Pangulo na si Gloria Arroyo ay patuloy tayong nagsisilbi ng tunay at tapat sa Sambayanan. Mabuhay ang Sambayanang Pilipino! Haharapin natin ang hamon ng bagong taong 2010 na puno ng pag-asa, tapang at tiwala sa sarili!

Placing Maguindanao under state of Martial law, OFW group says “No to Martial law”; joins "Gloria resign" call
For Immediate Release
5 December 2009
Migrante-Middle East, an alliance of overseas Filipino workers’ organizations in the Middle East today said the impending declaration of martial law placing Maguindanao under military rule is uncalled for.
“The noise that Mrs. Arroyo will place Maguindanao province under military rule upon declaration of martial law starting on Sunday, if it is true, is un-called for and a very risky decision to be made by Mrs. Arroyo, unless there could be hidden agenda that necessitates its declaration of martial rule in Maguindanao,” said John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.
Monterona opined there could be no legal basis on declaring martial law and placing Maguindanao province under military rule.
“The Constitutional requirements declaring martial law or placing the Philippines or part thereof under military rule is very clear and specific; the 1987 Constitution states martial law could only be imposed “In case of invasion or rebellion, when the public safety requires it,” Monterona averred.
Monterona said though there are part of Maguindanao province considered fragile in terms of the peace and order situation such as in Sharif Aguak, Ampatuan Municipality, and adjacent places; however it does not warrant declaration of martial law.
“The fragile peace and order situation in some parts of Maguindanao is an expected off-shot due to the Ampatuan massacre that puts the country into the international spotlight, and if this should be made to be the basis of Mrs. Arroyo’s martial law declaration, then we should question the legal basis of its imposition,” Monterona added.
However, Monterona opined what necessitates the Arroyo regime for imposing martial law in Maguindanao could be seen as desperate attempt to cover and to contain the massive electoral fraud allegedly it has committed, courtesy of the Ampatuans, who might 'spill the beans' of collaborated electoral fraud they and the Arroyos committed.
The Ampatuans are Mrs. Arroyo’s close political allies who have delivered votes for her and the entire administrations ticket on May 2007 elections zeroing even the popular actor opposition Presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr. in some municipalities of Maguindanao.
“As per reports by the media, with arms and ammunitions dug nearby the Ampatuan house are election paraphernalia that might reveal something related to the alleged massive election fraud,” Monterona averred.
Monterona explained this led Migrante to join the calls for Mrs. Arroyo’s resignation as she will be running for a Congressional seat while at the same time a sitting President which undoubtedly she will take advantage of her presidential power and prerogatives using the government’s machinery to advance her own candidacy and entire administration’s ticket; “This is Mrs. Arroyo’s first move to stay in power and push changing the 1987 Constitution in line to the wishes of her US imperialist master,” the OFW-leader continued.
“OFWs abroad and their families in the homeland will not allow the illegal and immoral declaration of martial law left unquestioned, uncontested, and un-protested even though it will only covers the Maguindanao province as it is intended only to cover and to contain the massive electoral fraud the Arroyo administration committed, courtesy of the Ampatuans, to prevent the damage it will bring once it becomes open to the public,” Monterona ended. # # #
