Hope

Rosario believes that the president is their last hope. “Dapat mismo si Madam President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo na ang umapela noong una pa man,” (President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo could have made the appeal right from the start.) he said.

But Migrante’s Santos argued that Conejos told them they can not intervene in the internal policy of Kuwait.

Meanwhile, Rosario is sad that his wish to be with her daughter while the decision is being read on the promulgation date would not materialize. Likewise, his desire that Marilou’s two children and mother Encarnacion be in Manila on November 27 to wait in front of the DFA for the promulgation could not be possible.

“Kahit nag-aaral sila aabsent sila para magsalita sila dito ng saloobin nila, pero wala kaming pera,” (Even if it is a school day, they are willing to be absent just to be here to express their feelings, but we have no money.) he said.

The DFA did not even invite him to monitor the promulgation proceedings in their office on November 27.

Despite his age, the 64-year old father is determined to join daily pickets at the DFA as part of the weeklong series of protest actions until the promulgation date on November 27.

Santos said their call is to save Marilou’s life and for her immediate release and repatriation. (Bulatlat.com)
