Hoy Gloria, Alis Ka Na Diyan!

Madame Arroyo,



We, Filipinos in Japan,  representing Migrante International,
an alliance of Filipino migrants organizations worldwide, and
the three biggest Filipino associations in Japan with more
than thirty (30) chapters combined, namely the Kalipunan ng
mga Filipinong Nagkakaisa (KAFIN), Filipina Circle for
Advancement and Progress (FICAP), and Philippine Women's
League (PWL), have joined forces in denouncing your government's
rampant violation of human rights and repression of the Filipino
people's democratic and political rights.

We are outraged by the fact that your government has chosen
the  path of terrorism and violence to stop the intensifying
people's protest against your illegitimate government.  Under
the guise of Proclamation 1017, your acts of suppressing
legitimate dissent remind us of the dark years of Martial Law. 
But now that you have lifted your own brand of terrorism, we
wonder, Madame Arroyo, what  you would do next?

As peace-loving Filipinos, we cannot just watch you and be
silent about your acts of violence against our people.

We condemn in the strongest term the arrest of Anakpawis
Representative Crispin Beltran, and your order to pursue
and arrest other Partylist Congressmen belonging to Bayan
Muna, Anakpawis and Gabriela Women's Party, members of
your rival political parties, and other civilians calling
for your immediate ouster.  We also condemn your harassment
and intimidation of media organizations critical of your
administration through your agents in the Armed Forces of
the Philippines and Philippine National Police.

Madame Arroyo, even without Proclamation 1017, we have
always considered you as a walking replica of Mr. Marcos. 
Your track record of killing, harassing and intimidating
your political opponents is clearly one for the books. 
We decry, for instance, the brutal attacks of your military
assassins, their death squads and paramilitary groups against
our people, like the murder and assassination of more than
500 human rights defenders in 2005 alone, and the abduction
of more than 150 others during the same year who until now
remain missing and unaccounted for.

We deplore your attacks on lawyers, teachers, church workers,
students, journalists and other civilians who have dared to
speak about the ills and crimes of your government, and the
thousands still who have been victims of forced evacuation,
bombings, illegal arrest and detention, torture and
harassments in our communities since you cheated your way to
Malacanang.

Frankly speaking, Madame Arroyo, it is no great surprise to
us why in so short a time, you have earned the title of Asia's
fast-rising dictator. You truly are, Madame Arroyo - a dictator
in your own disgusting right!

After lifting 1017, you vowed to continue running after
"destabilizers" and coup plotters.  What's new, Madame Arroyo?



Let us remind you, Madame Arroyo, that as concerned Filipinos in
Japan, we will never allow you - the one who cheated us, defraud
us, and robbed us of our rights -  to continue inflicting harm
and suffering to our people. You have done more than enough lying,
cheating and stealing, we cannot allow you to continue killing our
people,  and to resort to dirty tactics in order to prolong your
stay in power. We also vow to be one with the rest of the Filipino
people in seeking justice for all your crimes committed against
our nation.

Madame Arroyo, it's time for you to go, NOW not later!  You are the
scourge that is causing our sufferings, and the biggest obstacle to
our growth and development as a nation.

We are one with the Filipino people in calling for your immediate
OUSTER.  We enjoin you to let go and allow a Transitional Council
take over the helm of government until we are able to select new
leaders in a truly democratic, clean and honest election.



Your time is running out, Madame Arroyo! Step down NOW or be OUSTED!
and face the consequences of your crimes against the Filipino people.

Sincerely warning you,

Sgd. Migrante-Japan
