politics at its madness. It bared an umbilical cord that binds two
powerful dynasties – the Arroyos of Malacanang and the Ampatuans, warlords
of Maguindanao and the ARMM. Their ties have been nurtured by political
patronage that, at its worst form, breeds a politics of violence.

The progressive and patriotic network of Filipinos in Europe under MIGRANTE Europe condoles with the family, relatives, friends and colleagues of the more than 57 victims of what has now been known as the 'Maguindanao Massacre'. We mourn the senseless and unacceptable loss of lives of the victims, in the same way that we grieve over the victims of extra-judicial killings and disappearances. We feel not only the loss, but also the anger and bitterness felt by the victims' families, many of whom have gone abroad to earn a living. |

Strengthening Programs for the Care, Empowerment and Upholding Rights of Migrants and their Families
Best Western Hotel Museum, Athens, Greece
3 November 2009
Almost two thousand years ago, St. Paul the Apostle, came to Athens to preach the “Good News” at the Acropolis.
Two thousand years later, the uprooted people (migrants and refugees) and the faith communities met in Athens for a dialogue, where they shared stories and vision of salvation, emancipation and liberation.
The uprooted people shared their stories of suffering and struggle. They gave witness to the hope that is in them. They expressed their longing for a caring society, where families are not broken up in order to survive, a society of justice and solidarity. |
