May 6, 2013 PAL FLIGHT ATTENDANTS’ UNION BACKS AKBAYAN We, the officers and leaders, in the Flight Attendants’ and Stewards’Association of the Philippines (FASAP) fully endorse the AKBAYAN party-list in the coming elections. AKBAYAN was with us in our fight against age and gender discrimination in the work place, which helped us win a historic ruling before the Department of Labor and Employment in December, 2010. The FASAP members’ retirement age was raised to 60 years old for both male and female flight attendants. For us, among the many party-list groups in Congress, AKBAYAN stands out as a real peoples’ representative who cares, works and fights for the welfare of the workers, peasants, farmers and other marginalized sectors in the country. AKBAYAN is an organization composed of top-notch intellectuals and advocates who stand on principle and decency led by Rep. Walden Bello, whose contribution to Philippine Society cannot be measured.A true activist who seeks change for the betterment of the people, Rep.Bello,is a recognized icon in the progressive movement. For workers, AKBAYAN, is pushing for the enactment of the Security of Tenure Bill,to benefit the millions of exploited contractual employees who have to endure the vicious cycle of working for 5 months and ending their contract, only tore-apply again for another short stint as contractuals. This is prevalent in many commercial establishments where most workers do not enjoy regular employment and are constantly oppressed even by the richest businesses in the country. In our democracy, our hope lies in choosing very carefully the leaders who will truly take care of our needs and who will enact laws that will benefit the people. We need representatives in Congress who will not steal the tax payers’ money and who are known persons with integrity and decency. Please, let us vote for AKBAYAN as party-list representative for a better Philippine Thank you. BOB ANDUIZA President ANDY ORTEGA Vice President RICKYMONTECILLO Board Secretary
