Dear Senator Arroyo,
I am a Filipina in America where I have lived for the last 24 years. I have retained my Filipino citizenship all these years with the hope of retiring in the land of my birth in a few years, specifically in San Jose, Antique.
Why are you selling my patrimony, our beautiful land? Please junk JPEPA--that unpatriotic agreement sealed in secrecy by our President with Japan.
The JPEPA is one big sellout of our sovereignty and our land! It is even worse than the ZTE-NBN deals. PLEASE JUNK JPEPA !
The Philippine Senate should NOT ratify it as a treaty. I do not approve selling our land and endangering the very life of our present and future generation of Filipinos. PLEASE JUNK JPEPA !
Thank you.
LINDA MARIA NIETES-LITTLE
(Mrs. Robert J. Little, Jr.)
Linda Nietes, a cultural activist, also owned Casalinda, the first all-Filipiniana bookshop in the Philippines, (Metro Manila,1972-1983) and has provided a home for Philippine writings on both sides of the Pacific. She emailed this message to the office of Senator Joker Arroyo on April 18.
