Ikaw Ang Aming Kinakabukasan (You Are Our Future) | Loren Legarda

This s the title of the political ad of Loren Legarda, Vice Presidentiable of the Opposing Nacionalista Party published in a newspaper together with the New Superstar, Sarah Geronimo. The context of the ad runs this way.

You may be called the Hero of the Modern Times by many OFW's were enslaved, their dream were dump to graves in other countries. They were offered good paying jobs but the ending is, they're treated like slaves by their foreign employers. To end this, Loren passed the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.

The purpose of this act is to stop white slavery or prostitution among Filipinos in other countries, to penalize illegal recruiters who take advantage of our poverty. As a Filipino, Loren felt the hardships of the OFWs.

This is quiet very impressive, very touching. Remember Manny Villar's concern for the OFWs? Both have common intentions. Can they be good partners?
