 “Saludo talaga ako sa mga OFWs, dahil kayo ang tunay na bayani ng ating bansa,” ito ang taos-pusong pahayag ni Congresswoman Gina de Venecia sa mga pauwing mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) na tumanggap ng tulong at financial assistance katuwang ang Department of Migrant Workers sa Ika-Apat na Distrito ng Pangasinan.

Congresswoman Gina de Venecia, Representative of Pangasinan’s Fourth District, and Rey O. Sison, Regional Director of the Department of Migrant Workers–Regional Office I, together with Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) beneficiaries from the district.

 Hindi lingid kay Manay Gina ang bigat ng dinadala ng ating mga migrant workers. Sa mga panahong siya at ang kanyang kabiyak na si dating five-time Speaker of the House Jose de Venecia, Jr. ay umiikot sa iba’t ibang bansa bilang mga lingkod-bayan, nakadaupang-palad nila ang napakaraming OFWs na bagama’t may ngiti sa labi, ay nagkukubli ng mga sakit, lungkot, at pang-aabusong dinaranas nila sa ibang bayan.

Noong dumaan ang Bagyong Nando na kung saan ang kanyang hanging habagat ay may dalang napakalakas na ulan, muling hinagupit ng baha ang landlocked low-lying na bayan ng Calasiao sa Pangasinan dahil sa mga kadahilanang ito:

YEOMAN'S JOB Calasiao's workaholic mayor Patrick A. Caramat (center) in a yeoman's job helping the staff of the municipal government to distribute boxes of foods to their constituents' scourge by the recent Typhoon Nando.

Daanan siya ng tubig ulan galing sa kabundukan ng Cordillera Region, San Manuel, Binalonan, Urdaneta City, at Sta. Barbara sa pamamagitan ng Marusay at Sinucalan River na papasok sa bahaing lungsod ng Dagupan at sa kanyang pangwakas na destinasyon sa Lingayen Gulf; Magmula noong 1980’s o apatnapung taon na ngayong ang Marusay at Sinucalan Rivers ay hindi pa na draga para matanggal ang mga banlik (silt), mga tinapong basura gaya ng mga lumang mga kagamitan kaya kahit kaunting pag-ulan lang ito’y ay napupuno kaagad.
