Philippine Consulate and Hazel Ouano-Alpuerto

Hazel Ouano-Alpuerto: If they are sent home, thats much worry for them, because they have come here to seek a better life here in Canada, she said after councillors expressed support in lifting the ban, according to The Telegram. The dozen Filipino workers who attended the meeting declined to speak to and Hazel Ouano-Alpuerto, honorary consul general of the Philippine Consulate in St. Johns, said the moratorium will devastate the local immigrant community, some of whom will be forced to return to their home countries if they cant reapply for their work visas. They left their family and their children, and some of them that are here were in the hopes of a better tomorrow, and now the dreams are shattered. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
