Filipino nurses have the longest record of migrating, as well as the
longest history of abuse. This abuse is a result of aggressive,
profit-driven, exploitative policies of both their point-of-origin and
destination countries. One of these is Canada, one of the most popular
destinations now for Filipino nurses.

The ex-farm workers of Hacienda Luisita had been reaping the fruits of
their labor through a “cultivation campaign” that allowed them to plant
what they needed and supported their livelihood. But the plantation has
decreed that they should stop what they’re doing and leave. Unfazed,
the farmers are bracing for another tough fight ahead.

As if the trauma of losing their homes and belongings were not enough,
evacuees at the PhilSports Arena, formerly known as the Ultra, faced
more problems as the government seemingly backtracked on its promise to
relocate the displaced families. Worse, the Pasig government allegedly
had to use underhanded means to force the refugees to leave.

While it is supposed to be based on the Oil Deregulation Law, the
executive order mandating the recent price rollback in effect puts into
question the wisdom of oil deregulation. Moreover, the oil companies
have found a way to offset whatever “losses” they would incur in Luzon
due to the EO: by overpricing in the Visayas and Mindanao.

The Arroyo administration will have to work extra hard to prove that it
is sincere in addressing climate change and its impacts. Signing the
climate-change bill into law is one thing – approving the operation of
coal-fired power plants, which have been identified as one of the
dirtiest power-generation methods, makes a mockery of it.

One would think that, with all the billions of dollars in remittances
that it rakes in, the government would be concerned enough about the
plight of distressed OFWs and ensure that those who want to escape from
their abusive employers abroad can easily go back home to safety.

Former president Joseph Estrada beats up a toughie in this scene, taken
during a shooting in Quezon City last week, of his new movie “Ang
Tanging Pamilya.” In the movie — his first after two decades — Estrada
plays a jeepney driver. Last week, he also threw a mean punch to
Philippine politics when he announced that he would run for president
next year.
