Dear Fellow Migrants, Refugees, Advocates and Friends:
We are once again cordially inviting you to join us in the SECOND INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES (IAMR) in Athens, Greece, on Nov. 1-4, 2009. This assembly is OUR assembly, and will be held in the militant tradition of the first IAMR held in Manila, Philippines last October 2008 ...
This was the short clip shown during the opening of the IMA Founding Assembly in City University of Hong Kong last June 15, 2008.
It has moved many delegates to tears, only proving the plight faced by millions of migrants, refugees and the displaced. Yet, it likewise showed the growing and united struggle of the sector as they formally established the IMA.

The regime of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo changed the face of labor migration in the Philippines. It pursued its labor-export policy aggressively, begging receiving countries to accept more overseas Filipino workers. In the meantime, it shirked its responsibilities toward OFWs in distress, in many instances even becoming complicit in the abuse of overseas workers.
