Let us act and speak with one voice
Dear folks:
Cousin Edward (Gurango) kindly suggests: "If Rudy proposes a plan for us expatriates to do something, it may be well worth pursuing."
Thanks for your full faith, trust and confidence in me.
At the moment, methinks the one suggested in the MIF website is worth cosidering, to wit:
How can you help?
1) Ask your relatives in Infanta, Real and General Nakar to sign the petition.
2) Send letters to our government officials -- the governor, congressmen, senators -- to oppose this project.
3) Form prayer groups and prayer chains to seek God's intervention.
4) Help the organizers fund their cause. Metro Infanta Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that can assist in this regard.
5) We ask the local organizations in various states and countries to work with us in making this happen. Let us show the people back home that we care about the future of our beloved town.
What is important is we should act and speak in one voice.
Therefore, for the purpose of coordination, any suggestion or action of our beloved expatriates could be channeled through MIF c/o Ms. Mila Glodava for onward transmission to Kuya Poling Derilo and Fr. Francis Lucas who are both actually in the "battlefield".
Those in the Middle East could be taken care of by somebody from Infanta, Real or Gen. Nakar, for example, Mr. Daniel Abcede.
With best wishes and regards.
Rudy
P.S. Mila, methinks, you have a roster of expatriates and their respective whereabouts. Perhaps you may designate or suggest somebody who is in Europe to take care of our expatriates action in Europe on the Laiban Dam Project. RAA
