Comment on Akbayan's remark
We have high regards for the congresswoman representing Akbayan but we just could not agree when she said that President Arroyo betrayed the workers by gracing the occasion of inaugurating the first ship made by Hanjin shipbuilders. It was a real pride and honor for this new generation of workers - a new breed of shipbuilders - to have completed a ship ahead of schedule and performed way beyond expectations.
For the highest official of the land to have commended this feat is an honor that we wish to cherish for the rest of our lives, its so unconsiderate for the congresswoman to have used the death of our co-workers and made such unti-climactic remarks.
We are the group of welders that completed the PGMA Scholarship for Work Program, while we are not saying that we are supporters of the president . . May utang ng loob po kami sa naturang programa ng Presidente at ni Mayor Bong Gordon.
We hope that our countrymen understand that this is a major project and that there are safety and employees' welfare issues that needs to be ironed out. The employees have just completed electing its officers who will represent the workers' concerns last Sunday during a General Assembly at Subic Dream Plaza. While the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority have on its final stages the plan to put up a Safety Office and an Employees Welfare Office in Hanjin Shipyard premises to immediately address worker's concerns.
We are experiencing growing pains and we ask that we be given time to adjust.
We appreciate your concerns and wish to thank you for it.
We ask for your support, we want Subic Bay to be the "Home of the World's Best Shipbuilders."
