OFWs Remain Neglected Under Aquino

MANILA — After nine years of neglect under former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, expectations among overseas Filipino workers were high when the Aquino administration was installed.
Arroyo’s nine year rule left some 7,000 Filipino migrant workers jailed, more than 10,000 stranded in the Middle East alone, 108 in death row and six beheaded. Arroyo’s waning months as president could have provided President Benigno S. Aquino III a bird’s eye view of the hardships that OFWs went through.

Going Online

The present (printed)  issue is in fact the penultimate printed copy of this newspaper. And while this is saddening for us since this entails leaving behind Vox Bikol’s original form which many had been accustomed to, the change (at the start of the new year, no less) brings with it an exhilaration over the immense possibilities of providing news online to Bikolano netizens.   In our judgment then, Vox Bikol’s going fully online signals not a demise, but a rebirth.      

The resuscitation of a moribund Vox Bikol four Septembers ago by the Ina nin Bikol Foundation signaled not so much a shift in this newspaper’s mission emblazoned in the motto altiora petere but a more focused rededication to that goal of seeking what is nobler. Toward this end, Vox Bikol did not aspire to wholly mainstream itself but instead, poised itself to be an alternative source of news and views in print.
