ALAM praises Ochoa for 'berating' Josie Dela Cruz

         Alab ng Mamamahayag (ALAM) smiled after hearing a confidential report that Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa berated Postmaster General Josie Dela Cruz for mismanaging the affairs of the Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpost).

ALAM President Berteni “Toto” Causing said it is reasonable for Ochoa to spank Dela Cruz considering the massive negative news and complaints of Philpost employees that have reached the attention of President Benigno  Simeon “P-Noy” Aquino III.

This unconfirmed reports gathered by ALAM said that Ochoa roughed up Dela Cruz during her birthday, February 24. 

On the same day, ALAM members led by Causing joined the protest of Philpost employees against Dela Cruz at the Liwasang Bonifacio.

Dela Cruz got the ire of Philpost workers after she dismissed hundreds of them and, in irony, hired new sets of workers, including three (3) consultants each for P70,000 monthly salary.

One of the dismissed employees is Ma. Lourdes C. Villarico, a diligent letter sorter for decades who was fired out after discovering and reporting a big anomaly at the Manila Mail Distribution Center (MMDC).


She discovered this right on the first day she work in this unit where she was thrown after reporting an earlier anomaly where she also discovered a fellow worker opening mails containing money.


Fight on, Philpost workers!  Fear is just a myth.  Ironically, there is no other tool for justice and enjoyment of rights but bravery.
