MGA KABABAYAN,

First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Dondave Jabay for sharing his time, talent
and resources to serve our fellow OFWs here in South Korea. FEWA and SULYAPINOY
have recognized his sacrifices and contributions .

We are grateful to him !

On the other hand, let me explain to you mga kababayan on how FEWA board came up
with the decision based on the FEWA constitution and by-laws with my dissenting opinion
regarding his allegations.

FEWA Constitution and By-laws states:

Article III – MEMBERSHIP

Section 1. Only OFW who entered under the Human

Resources Development Service program the
Republic of South Korea (HRDS-ROK) known as
Employment Permit System (EPS) through
Philippine Overseas Employment Administration
(POEA) shall be qualified to be a FEWA member.

Comments: Mr. Dondave Jabay was not an EPS worker , he was adopted by FEWA and
became FEWA member.

Section 7. Termination of Membership

7.1 Technical Termination

7.1.2. Expiration of EPS Working Visa shall likewise mean termination of FEWA
membership.( Note: His VISA was expired, he finished his contract and
his adoption papers were also expired , needless to say that his
membership is automatically terminated)……………………….FEWA
Officers whose EPS Working Visa has expired shall be deemed retired
from the date of the expiration of the visa and their position shall be
declared vacant.

Comment: He was no longer FEWA member, In fact, he is now in the

Philippines for more than a month . Therefore, he has no LEGAL RIGHT
to remain SULYAPINOY WEBADMIN, He resigned from SULYAPINOY
newsletter already. Supposedly, before his VISA expired , he must
turnover the website password.

8. Ethical Grounds

Any FEWA volunteer member found to be reasonably accused or charged of the

following shall be subjected to Membership Termination proceedings:
 8.7 deliberate non-compliance of FEWA rules, laws and directives

FEWA BOARD HAS DECICED TO REMOVE MR. DONDAVE JABAY AS SULYAPINOY

WEBSITE ADMIN BASED ON THE FEWA CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS AS OUR LEGAL
BASES.

The following grounds are as follows:

1. He violated the FEWA Constitution and By-laws .

2. He did not turnover the SULYAPINOY website password to the owner FEWA;
3. He wanted that SULYAPINOY newsletter be CLOSED.
4. And among others…

On the other side of a coin:

FEWA is recognized and respected by the Philippine Embassy, Churches, Filipino

communities and some Korean institutions here in South Korea.

FEWA upholds , protects and defends the rights of OFWs in Korea. We have fought
against SSS-NPS, MC 04, MOU, ( food & accommodations) and among others.

There’s no reason that FEWA will allow Mr. Dondave Jabay to administer our website
without legal bases. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL .

He should respect FEWA’s Constitution and by-laws because it is unethical and

unprofessional to keep the website password that is own by the organization.

From that stand-point, “ FEWA BOARD HAS REMOVED HIM AS WEBADMIN with legal
bases”.His allegations have no legal bases, it is INSUFFICIENT IN FORM AND LACK OF
SUBSTANCE.” It is very clear that FEWA board’s decision and it is not my initiative.

As FEWA administrative adviser, it is my duty and responsibility to give advise, based on

the merits of the case and to ensure that FEWA’s constitution and by-laws will be
RESPECTED and IMPLEMENTED religiously. And I hasten to add, that I was resigned as
FEWA administrative adviser last July 2, 2009 for “delicadeza” and not to influence FEWA
board decision.

Besides, FEWA board has respected their agreement between FEWA President
Mr.Sofonias Paragsa and Mr. Jabay to give one (1) month for him to turnover the website
password, but still he kept the passwords for more than a month.( Note: Their agreement
was illegal because it was not agreed by the FEWA board).

I hope Mr. Jabay will be enlightened with my dissenting opinion based on the FEWA
constitution and by-laws. Let us respect and observe the rule of law. I have nothing
against him, I am only against with his ideas and opinion because it is baseless,
unfounded, unreasonable and illogical.

Finally, Let us continue to serve God and to our fellow OFWs no matter what happen
along the way.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

God bless us all!

Sincerely,

Rebenson”Reeve” Recana
Founding Chairman, SULYAPINOY
