Migrante Sectoral Party today kicked off a massive local and international voter registration drive to encourage overseas Filipinos and their families to register for the May 2013 national elections.
According to Connie Bragas-Regalado, president of Migrante Sectoral Party, they started a massive voter education and registration campaign as early as last year in different countries but resolved this year to “up the ante for overseas absentee voter registration through the consolidated and more massive efforts of Filipino communities abroad.”

"No to another Angelo dela Cruz" - Migrante International
As the nation awaits the fate of a 35-year-old Filipino who is scheduled for execution on China death row, Migrante International fears for the life of another kababayan who was allegedly kidnapped and is under grave threat and torture by an unidentified group in Afghanistan.
Mark Ramos, 27, a procurement logistics worker at the Copenhagen Construction Company in Kandahar, Afghanistan, was allegedly abducted last January 7. His Dubai-based family and relatives sought the help of Migrante-Middle East after they received a latest call from his abductors asking for USD $50,000 as ransom.

Dear Sir,
Greetings from United Arab Emirates!

On August 9, 2010, the Bureau of Immigration issued Memorandum Order No.RPL-10-004 requiring OFWs dependents to present an authenticated Affidavit of Support.
