The Migrants team launched a ‘Salu-salo for a Cause’ on June 14, 2009 for the distressed seamen currently housed at the Philippine Embassy. A naira 2,500.00 @ plate was served. It is but a dent on the huge burden vested on the embassy. Naira 115,000.00 was realized. Marketing was done by Maris Mercado, Vangie Novio, Sherwin Cayabyab and Lito Nucom on the 13th of June. Bargaining at the marketplace was quite fun.
Cooking was done by the seafarers’ cooks.
No money was solicited from any organization.
The organizers spearheaded by Lito Nucom, also took this opportunity to call for a general assembly of the Filipino community to hold an election.
The event was held at The Philippine Embassy compound.
