MGA KABABAYAN,

Greetings!!!

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 explained 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 he 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 OTHERSIDE 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
