Editor's Note |
20 years of service to the community
|
Time flies.
Exactly 20 years ago this month, The SUN shone for the Filipinos in Hong Kong. It was
the fulfillment of a dream that took shape years earlier, or shortly after I arrived here in 1987 and
realized there was no reliable information channel serving the community.
But turning that dream into reality proved to be difficult. Several people offered to fund
the publication of a news-paper, but everyone wanted a business model different from what we had
in mind.

Pagpapabaya

Nitong nakaraang buwan ay naging saksi tayo sa nangyari kay Manang Gloria Ortinez,
ang OFW na biktima ng tanim-bala sa Manila airport. Halos buong araw kasi ay naglagi siya sa
opisina ng The SUN, kasama ang mga naghatid sa kanya na sina Susan "Toots" Ople na tagataguyod ng
mga OFW, at ang abogado niyang si Atty Spocky Farolan, kaya nasaksihan namin siya nang malapitan.

Nanay Gloria's journey to HK

President Benigno Simeon Aquino III recently told the media that cases of tanim-bala
were sensationalized, citing figures to prove his point. As an OFW advocate, I respectfully
disagree. Looking at this from a purely numbers perspective could lead one to overlook the deep trauma
that such incidents have caused its innocent victims.
Had he met and spoken to 56-year old OFW Gloria Ortinez, our President would have
learned the following:

Staff and volunteers at the Mission for Migrant Workers had reason to celebrate when
they launched the non-government organization's 10-year Impact Evaluation Report at Li Hall of St
John's Cathedral on Dec. 4. Nearly all, or 97% of migrants who sought assistance said that they were
helped by the Mission, and more than half of them (57%) said they would recommend the NGO to others.

Honey love
I work at an Australian border as a Quarantine Officer, pretty must
like a Customs Officer
but interstate,not international. We take fruit, vegetables and honey off
travellers to stop the spread
of pests and such. A lot of tourists come through my station everyday. Most
know about us, but
some don't.
A 4-wheel drive loaded up with a young family, towing a caravan,
pullled into my lane and
I started my little chat about what I'm looking for and what I do. I mention
honey and the guy's
eyes go wide. He starts creaming at full volume about how I'll never take his
honey, and how I'm
a "fu**ing Nazy c**t".
After politely telling him he can either part with his 1kg jar of
honey or $400 and his jar
of honey, he calls me a "Stealing f**" and snatches the jar, rips off the lid and
starts chugging the
whole thing in front of everyone.
He finishes the whole 1kg jar and hands it to me. He calls me a
"d**k" once more and gets
in his car and leaves.
For those who don't know, honey in large doses has a laxastive
effect. It's over half an hour
to the nearest toilet.
I wonder how far he got,
I love my job.
