43 jailed Pinoy fishermen in Indonesia arrive in Manila after 6 months

Detained Pinoy fishermen in Indonesia

After almost six months of being abandoned by their employer – the giant fishing firm Citra Mina – and left to rot in a detention facility in Ternate Island, Indonesia, the 43 fishermen are now in Manila before going back to General Santos City.

The “abandonados” arrived on board Cebu Pacific flight 5J 760 at 5:30 a.m. today in NAIA from Jakarta bringing with them harrowing experience following the seizure of their boat Love Merben II off the coast of Indonesia for alleged illegal fishing last Aug. 26.

"Mission accomplished,” Herbert Demos, SENTRO staff who went to Indonesia as part of the rescue team, announced. “All Filipino crew of Love Merben II accounted for," he reported.

The rescue campaign was led by the national labor center SENTRO and the global union IUF, in coordination with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

Demos arrived in Ternate Island on Feb. 20 to ensure that all 43 fishermen are issued their tickets and travel documents. What he witnessed in the island shocked him.

"I am poor, and was raised in poverty, but I cannot eat what our compatriots were eating in Ternate. The rice they ate had more rice weevils (lice) than rice grains, but they had no choice. I learned that sometimes they quarreled over food because of extreme hunger. What is painful, too, is that they were never visited by our consulate personnel in Manado,” Demos said.

SENTRO asserted that ultimately Citra Mina is to blame for all that the fishermen have gone through.

“Citra Mina should compensate all the fishermen for the whole time they were stuck in Ternate Island,” Josua Mata, SENTRO secretary general, stressed, adding that “Citra Mina should also be investigated for its alleged involvement in illegal fishing.”

Rep. Walden Bello of Akbayan has pushed for a congressional inquiry on Citra Mina’s alleged labor and human rights violations and its culpability in what had happened to the 43 fishermen. A hearing was set on March 18.

This morning, the repatriated fishermen are scheduled to meet with Jesus Yabes, DFA’s Undersecretary for Migrant Workers’ Affairs.

They are set to fly to General Santos tomorrow morning where a big welcome celebration awaits them.

SENTRO is the national labor center Sentro ng mga Nagkakaisa at Progresibong Manggagawa while the Geneva-based IUF is the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers’ Associations. Its Asia-Pacific regional office extended much needed help in the rescue efforts.

The 43 abandoned fisherfolk are Felix G. Ababon Jr., Reynaldo A. Ano-os, Joemer G. Ababon, Dennis A. Ave, Clayde G. Batelante, James D. Bermil, Julie A. Curay, Jonald B. Caliso, Arnel Ariel D. Cezar, Aries S. Cezar.

Unearthing the Truth: Why the House of Representatives Should Continue the Mamasapano Hearings

Rep. Walden Bello

Privileged Speech of Rep. Walden Bello Feb 18, 2015

Mr. Speaker, dear colleagues:

It is unfortunate that the joint hearings of the Committee on Public Order and Safety and Committee on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity were cancelled by the House leadership. The much criticized disorder among House members during the Feb 11 hearing stemmed from the emotions coursing through the nation at this point. Our colleagues are not immune to these conflicting feelings roiling their constituents. The committee hearing was a microcosm of our society, and given the scale of the Mamasapano tragedy, it would have been unrealistic to expect our members to display their usual cool, courteous, collected demeanor.

Unearthing the Facts

Despite the so-called disorder, Mr. Speaker, the hearing did achieve some progress in terms of unearthing vital facts, like the fact that the president did not seem to be informed of the unraveling of the raid tillvery late in the day. In fact, the several days of hearings in the Senate and the House have gradually yielded thebasic contours of the Mamasapano tragedy.

What are these?

The decisive element, it appears, was the deliberate withholding of information about the SAF operation from key people at the top of the PNP and AFP hierarchy. This withholding of information led to the fatal lack of coordination between and PNP in the mounting of a rescue effort when the operation began tounravel. Further, it led to chaos when the AFP, PNP, and the MILF tried to get the combatants to disengage.

The scenario that emerges is the following: To nab a notorious terrorist, those who conceived and implemented the operation chose not to inform the top people in the police and AFP leadership and ignored and subverted the procedures and mechanism for territorial access worked out by the MILF, the government peace panel, Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (ADHJAG), and the AFP. The MILF fighters responded to what they perceived as a large invasion force, and once the battle began, it became very difficult for their leaders to realize the intent of the SAF contingent and get their forces to disengage. If it took several hours for the AFP and the PNP SAF to coordinate their actions owing to the information and operations gaps, one can understand how much more difficult coordination was among the government peace panel, AFP, ADHJAG, and MILF leadership, all of who had limited information on the causes and progress of the encounter.

Having said that, it is nevertheless clear to this representation that the anti-SAF forces on the ground engaged in overkill and that some combatants committed acts that violated the universally accepted rules of engagement codified in the Geneva Conventions on the conduct of war,such as the execution of disabled enemy combatants.

More critical details remain to be extracted by future hearings, Mr. Speaker, but I think there is now sufficient testimony to show that President Aquino, General Purisima, and SAF Commander Napenas took unacceptable risks in keeping the Marwan operation a secret from key people in the police, AFP, and civilian leadership, and that they must own up to principal responsibility for the tragic consequences of their withholding vital information, including the deaths of 44 brave policemen.

Unearthing the US Role

There is still, however, one big lacuna in the investigation, and this is one of the key reasons why the Senate and House investigations must go on to the bitter end. I am referring to the role of the United States. From the beginning, Mr Speaker, the operation had the earmarks of a US-managed special operation. Getting Marwan was top priority for Washington. The quick insertion-neutralization-extrication method employed by the SAF is one that has been perfected by US Navy Seals. Heightening suspicions were the presence of a US chopper at the scene shortly after the encounter, allegedly to evacuate casualties, and the disappearance of Marwan’s index finger and its surfacing in the US Federal Bureau of Investigation’s laboratory.

The detailed accounts of US involvement by an anonymous SAF officer that appeared in the Philippine Daily Inquirer yesterday and today cannot simply be dismissed as speculative. What convinces me of their authenticity is the SAF officer’s revelation that the Americans insisted on the use of the 84th SAF Company as the assault team to snatch Marwan, opposing a fused contingent of the 55th Company and the 84thCompany as conceived in the original Oplan Exodus. The Americans had their way: the 84th snatched Marwan while the 55thserved as the blocking force, which was slaughtered. When I visited Camp Bagong Diwa to pay my respects to the dead SAF troops on Jan 30, I took the opportunity to interview a number of members of SAF. I was struck by how they referred to the 84th as an “elite unit.” When I asked why, they told me the 84thwas a seaborne unit that specialized in the insert-neutralize-and extricate operations mastered by the US Navy Seals. Indeed, as one SAF member proudly told me, the 84th Seaborne had undergone special training by “retired” US Navy Seals. This prior revelation to me on Jan 30made very credible the Inquirer’s claim in yesterday’s issue about the Americans’ insistence that the 84th SAF Company serve as the only unit to neutralize Marwan. It was their special unit in the Special Action Force.

Mr. Speaker, we are simply seeing the tip of the iceberg. Congress’ investigation of the Mamasapano tragedy has a long, long way to go.
The point is that with the increasing credibility of investigative new reports and curt denials coming from the PNP that the US was intimately involved in the operation, it becomes less and less viable to leave the investigation of this whole affair to the Executive, much less the PNP. We have to perform our constitutionally mandated duty of oversight over the Executive’s performance of its functions. To leave it to the Executive to investigate itself is not only to invite a cover-up; it is dereliction of duty on our part.

BBL and the Facts on the Ground

Allow me, Mr. Speaker, to proceed to another concern. Undeniably, the Mamasapano tragedy has destabilized the peace process. It is right to be angry. It is certainly understandable to call for a pause in the consideration of the Bangsa Moro Basic Law. But it is wrong to give up on the peace process, wrong to turn our backs on the BBL.

Mr. Chairman, both sides are tired of war. They want peace, not peace at any price, but peace based on the recognition of the hard facts on the ground. The MILF has recognized those facts on the ground and moved from a position of demanding independence to one autonomy. The Philippine government has similarly recognized the facts on the ground and moved from all-out war to crush the MILF to a willingness to accept the political solution of autonomy for the Bangsa Moro people. After nearly 50 years of war, both sides have arrived at a meeting o minds. The last hurdle is legislative approval of this meeting of minds based on mutual recognition of the hard facts on the ground. Let us not turn our backs on the BBL and give in to those whose hard-line opposition can only result in more years of an unwinnable war and possibly a worse end-game. Those who make autonomy impossible now will make separation inevitable later.

Promoting Sobriety, not Fanning the Flames

This leads to my last point, Mr. Chairman. Those voices that incite us to return to the battlefield belong not to the military, who know that military victory is impossible, but to civilian personalities who see the Mamasapano tragedy asa way to further their self serving political agenda. During last week’s hearing at the Senate, we had an appalling demonstration of this from someone I used to have respect for. Instead of calming public passions to create a better environment for the search for truth, we saw a demagogical performance that was hell bent on fanning these passions with incendiary discourse based on inaccuracies, distortions and falsehoods, including a slide intended to convey a deliberately misleading image suggesting an MILF fighter firing an ultra-long-range sniper rifle a la Brad Cooper in “American Sniper.” Such demagoguery can only have the effect of stoking anti-Moro and anti-Muslim feelings that can lead us back to war.

Mr. Chairman, in these sensitive times, we as the leaders of the country should be promoting sobriety in the search for truth, not deploying jihadist rhetoric calculated to destroy all possibility of a peaceful settlement of the Mindanao conflict. In their determination to sabotage the peace process, the BIFF,unfortunately, may have found an ideal counterpart in this volatile member ofthe Senate. Politics indeed makes strange bedfellows.

This representation appeals to the senator in question toplease desist from poisonous rhetoric and cease using the Senate hearing as a platform for his political ambitions. Huwag po ninyong gamitin ang mga bangkay ng fallen 44 bilang tuntungan para sa inyong ambisyon. Sacrilegiyo ho yan. In this connection, Mr. Speaker, it is my contention that much of the negative reaction to the congressional hearings on Mamasapano does not stem from our so-called disorder or our repetitive questioning of resource persons but by the opportunistic use of the hearings bya handful of people like the senator in question, not as a means to ferret out the truth but as a soapbox to pursue their ideological and political agenda.

Let me end by appealing to President Aquino to fully accept responsibility for the Mamasapano fiasco and come clean on everything related to the raid, including the big question on everybody’s mind, which is the roleo f the United States. This is the only way for him to regain the public’s trust.

And, lastly, Mr. Speaker, let us by all means continue with our hearings.

POEA cancels license of Non-Stop Overseas Employment Corporation, repeat offender for double visa scheme and falsification

Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac has ordered the cancellation of the license of Non-Stop Overseas Employment Corporation for submitting two different visas and after committing three counts of violation of the POEA regulation on misrepresentation.

Cacdac said Non-Stop had requested for processing of a worker bound for Qatar with a visa as General Cleaner but after verification was found to be in the category of a Secretary.

Non-Stop claimed that the real job order for the worker was for the position of secretary and it mistakenly submitted the visa for general cleaner. The agency tried to correct the supposed error and submitted a visa for a secretary.

Upon further scrutiny, however, the POEA found out that except for the position titles, the two visas have the same issuance and validity dates, visa number, visa type, duration of residence, and other markings.
Cacdac said Labor Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz has instructed the POEA to prioritize resolution of recruitment violation cases involving household service workers (HSWs) and other low-salaried overseas Filipino workers.

Section 2 (e) of Rule I, Part VI of the 2002 POEA Rules and Regulations Governing the Recruitment and Employment of Land-based Overseas Workers prohibits licensed recruitment agencies from engaging in acts of misrepresentation in connection with recruitment and placement of workers such as furnishing or publishing any false notice, information or document in relation to recruitment or employment of an OFW.
