What's New     ERN-HK PRESS STATEMENT 17 January 2001 We Urge Our Families Back Home to Go to the Streets and Oust Estrada! We, migrant Filipinos in Hong Kong, call on to our families back home to march with the rest of the Filipino people enraged over the latest Senate fiasco orchestrated by the shameless senator-judges determined to acquit Estrada. The refusal of the Senate tribunal, through a vote of 11 to 10 in favor of Estrada, to open the envelope which shall reveal the truth about his crimes, has effectively murdered all hopes for the impeachment process in the eyes of the Filipino people. However, it also stood as a burning testimony to the disgusting web of deceit and corruption of this bankrupt administration. There is no more need to explain why Estrada must go. The time calls for another display of people power. We salute the brave men and women, even the elderly and children, who are now in EDSA and other regions, for risking life and limb to uphold the dignity and the patriotic and democratic tradition of the Filipinos exemplified in the toppling of the dictator Marcos. The spirit of all overseas Filipinos equally fed up with a crook and criminal president joins your unshakeable will to oust Estrada. The verdict is now beyond the dirty hands of a discredited Senate. The ordinary people, whom Estrada has consistently mocked, shall be the sole judge, jury, and executioner of Estrada’s fate. We, and our families have no other option but to go to the streets and bring an end to the Estrada government.# Erap Resign Network - Hong Kong c/o Mission for Filipino Migrant Workers St. John's Cathedral, Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong SAR Tel no.: 2522-8264, 2810-4379 Fax no.: 2526-2894 E-mail: erapresign@hongkong.com     Search our site: advance search             Back to top           1995 - 2001 (c) copyright The Mission for Filipino Migrant Workers (HK) Society e-mail: mission@migrants.net website: http://www.migrants.net
