United we stand. Divided we fall.
There are several reasons why Filipinos in Quebec must support the new Charter of Values or now officially to be called Bill 60 (thanks to Mme. Pauline Marois, see illustrations and news below).
First, it is for solidarity and to support our fellow Filipina domestic maids who are working in Muslim countries where they have no rights whatsoever and are being oppressed by working 24/7 overtime without pay, who are being maltreated by being deprived with little food, who are being raped and abused sexually, and where they have no freedom of religion whether Catholic or Christian (they are forbidden to have any Bible or Christian prayer books).

Our
non-profit blog was inspired by a
Filipina domestic from the Middle East who left her newborn baby – with
placenta still attached – at the Bahrain Gulf Air airplane toilet - upon
landing in Manila, read her story here http://filipina-nannies-caregivers.blogspot.ca/2013/05/this-blog-was-inspired-by-filipina.htm. She was probably raped and became pregnant
that's why she did not want to keep the baby... Her despair and desperate
situation are common to thousands of Filipinas working in the Middle East, read
the many entries in this blog to know their sufferings: Qatar,
Dubai,
Morocco, Kuwait,
Saudi
Arabia, Jordan,
etc .
Second, it is to support our native country the Philippines who
are now being battled by Muslims in the southern part of the Philippines, where
thousands of young Filipino soldiers especially from Luzon are being killed,
read news below.
Third, maybe the Muslims in Quebec are relatively "peaceful" for the moment, but in their Koran, it is written that if they "kill an infidel, they will go straight to heaven"...and all Catholic and Christian Filipinos are "infidels"....therefore the potential of these words are like ticking time-bombs.
Muslims and other immigrants to Quebec have many social benefits here - which they will never have in their original country and therefore they should not be complaining about this Charter of Values in Quebec. Thousands of Filipinas go to work as domestic maids in Muslim countries but they do not have any of the social benefits which exist here in Quebec.
Filipinos are hard-working people and we can work long hours without complaining but we are now being considered as "cheap labor and subservient", the fact is we are not being admired but are rather despised and looked-down upon by countries where we go to work for long unpaid hours, read here England: Filipinas are 'cheap and subservient'.
Filipinos and Filipinas in Quebec and in many countries must learn to see the "global context" and "global consequences" of their actions. We must learn to cooperate and collaborate together for the benefit of our entire country and our fellow people.

We must not think only of instant gratification or for
self-centered family instant gratification with our jobs as domestic workers. United we stand, divided we fall! AS long as we Filipinos and Filipinas, especially
those in First World countries are divided, we will never be strong. As
long as we think of our own selves and only of our individual family, the
country will continue to remain "divided", weak, poor and colonized
by the USA and other wealthy countries, read more here

We must support this bill and the government must pass this Charter of Values before Quebec is colonized, by numbers, by other religion. We got rid of 95 % of Catholic churches all sold to builders of condominiums. We got rid of big religious buildings and now, we do not need huge religious symbols before our eyes.
Huge religious symbols are prozletism. They speak to us by their colors and tissues on their heads and they preach to us by religious fanatics.
The Bible is different because it stays at home and Christians do not carry it around their bodies.
Why we must have a
neutral state like Oxygen
Oxygen is neutral and it is equally available for everyone. The sun is
neutral and it shines on everyone regardless of faith or religion.
Plants are neutral and are available to everyone regardless of
faith. Animals are neutral and are free for all to enjoy. The Earth
and the universe are for all of mankind and no religion can put its religious
symbol over the earth or the sky.
As taxpayers, the state should be neutral and free for all like oxygen and the sun.
Taxpayers should not be forced to "see" huge religious symbols
. To "see" is equivalent to being proselytized, preached upon
by religion because "a picture speaks a thousand words". These
huge religious symbols speak more than thousands of words about a person's
personal belief. Children in government run day-cares should not be
subliminally brainwashed by those in authority who are indirectly
"preaching" about their personal religion through their huge
overpowering religious symbols. The
state should be separate from all religion and all servants of the
state should not demonstrate their religion in works because they are paid and
salaried by the state.
It took
many centuries to achieve "freedom from the oppression of
religion". It took many battles to be freed from religion. It
took many decades to finally achieve the
"Separation between Church and State", read more here how

Un état neutre comme l'oxygène...POUR la Charte des valeurs québécoises
Nous devons avoir un état
neutre, comme l'oxygène.
L'oxygène est neutre et il est également disponible pour
tout le monde. Le soleil est neutre et elle brille pour tout le monde,
indépendamment de leur foi ou leur religion.
Les plantes sont neutres et sont disponibles pour tout le
monde indépendamment de leur foi.
Les animaux sont neutres et sont gratuits pour tous, indépendamment de leur religion
La Terre et l'univers sont pour toute l'humanité et aucune
religion ne peut mettre son symbole religieux sur la terre ou le ciel.
L'État doit être neutre pour
tous comme l'oxygène, la terre, le
soleil et l’univers.
Les contribuables ne devraient pas être obligés de
"voir" d'énormes symboles religieux dans
un bureau ou un bâtiment payés par l'Etat. Parce que «voir»
est équivalent à prosélytisme, équivalent
à d’être prêché parce que « une image vaut mille
mots». Ces énormes symboles religieux parlent plus que des milliers de mots sur
la croyance personnelle d'une personne.
Les enfants dans de garderies
(payé par les contribuables) ne
devraient pas être subliminale endoctrinés par ceux en position d'autorité. Ils
ne doivent pas être victimes de "prosélytisme indirect" par leurs soignants, lisez plus ici "Pourquoi le peuple philippins du Québec doivent soutenir la Charte des valeurs" à Filipina nannies caregivers blog http://filipina-nannies-caregivers.blogspot.ca/2013/05/why-filipinos-support-quebec-charter-of.html
L'état doit être séparé de toute religion et tous les
serviteurs de l’État ne devraient pas manifester leur religion dans les travaux
parce qu'ils sont payés et salarié par l'État.
Il a fallu plusieurs siècles pour parvenir à " la
liberté de l'oppression de la religion». Il a fallu beaucoup de batailles d’être
libéré de la religion. Il a fallu plusieurs décennies pour finalement atteindre

This gigantic statue of St. Joseph is larger than all veils that the Quebec Charter of Values prohibit...and it does not deserve $50 million of taxpayers' money to renovate it -- like the "Bling" 43 million Euros renovation of the Bishop's Palace in Germany, read here http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2013/10/germany-bling-bishops-42-million-euros.html .
Taxpayers must not pay for the Oratory's renovations because the CSC priests are billionaires and the Oratory generate tens of millions of income in their stores and tourism and they do not pay taxes. Most of all, see and expose the HOAX of the Eucharist of the fake cloning of Christ's flesh.
Catholic priests are false magicians of the fake cloning of the flesh of Jesus Christ…see images of the Dolly the cloned SHEEP.
Catholic priests and popes and bishops cannot clone an ant, cannot clone a fish, cannot clone cats and dogs,
Wake up people! STOP GIVING your MONEY to the CATHOLIC CHURCH and give to the POOR instead – GIVE to the homeless of Montreal, the FIRST NATIONS to build them homes with running water and clean toilets.

Published Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Supporters of the proposed Charter of Quebec Values are banding
together in an umbrella group to voice their support for a secular
Quebec.
The Rassemblement pour la laïcité, or the Gathering for Secularity, is composed of many groups which have already publicly declared their support for the Charter including the union of public and parapublic workers (SFPQ), SPQ Libre and the Quebec Secular Movement, and notable individuals such as Martine Desjardins, former president of FEUQ, and ex-Supreme Court Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dubé.
At a news conference on Tuesday members reiterated their desire that Quebec alter the existing Quebec Charter of Rights to include the right to be free from religion, especially for all aspects of the government.
The group said the proposal made by the Parti Quebecois government was actually too lax, and demanding that the crucifix given to the province of Quebec in 1936 be removed from the National Assembly, and that the proposed exemption clause be eliminated and replaced with a phase-in period for all government-paid employees.
Hijabs: a symbol of male oppression
Leila Bensalem, a teacher with the Commission scolaire de Montreal (CSDM), said the province needed to have a discussion about what was reasonable and rational in terms of making accommodations for religion. (See video in the link)
She said that demands from students and teachers for halal meat in cafeterias, and for days off to celebrate religious holidays, should no longer be dealt with on an ad-hoc basis but instead be subject to strict regulation.
Bensalem also spoke strongly against women who wear hijabs, saying that headscarves were the first symbol of patriarchal oppression.
"Just think of the fundamentalists when they establish an Islamic republic. The first thing they ask of Muslim women is to wear the veil, when it's not the burqa or the niqab or whatever. It's like the flag they want their women to wear and they represent that mentality," said Bensalem.
Many women in Quebec who wear hijabs say that may be the case in other countries, but not in Canada, where the hijab is almost always a personal choice made by a woman to show her devotion to her faith.
Is Quebec historically secular?
Members of the coalition showed some division when it came to the history of the province, with some saying that secularism is a historic Quebec value, one that was actually fought for by the Patriotes revolution in the 1800s.
Other speakers disagreed, and said what was important was that Quebec was a society that had been dominated by the Catholic church for many years, only to finally throw off the yoke of quasi-religious rule within living memory.

Ex-Supreme Court judge expected to back Quebec values charter
Claire L’Heureux-Dubé claims she sees more veiled women in Quebec than in her travels to Muslim countries.
A former Supreme Court
of Canada judge, who claims she sees more veiled women in Quebec than
in her travels to Muslim countries such as Pakistan and Morocco, is
expected to line up behind the Parti Québécois’ charter of values and
lend her legal credibility to the proposed ban on religious clothing in
the public service.
The province’s minority government argues that its initiative will bring to heel a growing wave of unreasonable faith-based exceptions from societal and workplace rules, guarantee equality of the sexes in the province and reinforce the religious neutrality of the state.
.
.
The many critics in the political, legal and academic arenas
warn the proposal would violate religious freedoms already enshrined in
Canadian and Quebec charter rights and inevitably be ruled
unconstitutional.
.
.
But Claire
L’Heureux-Dubé, who sat on the country’s top court from 1987 until 2002,
argued in a lengthy May 2013 radio interview that some rights are more
fundamental than others and that, in Canada, the right to equality
trumps religion.
“My vision is that
there are fundamental rights. The right to live is fundamental. There is
no accommodation . . . . Equality is the same thing,” she told
Radio-Canada host Michel Lacombe.
.
.
“There are also civil
liberties that are extremely important, but they’re not on the same
level. Freedom of expression and freedom of religion are another thing.
They are civil liberties that can be reduced by what is reasonable in a
free and democratic society.”
.
.
L’Heureux-Dubé said
that in travels abroad for legal conferences, she has noticed that the
face of females in the Muslim world is increasingly one that is
uncovered.
“There are more uncovered faces in Pakistan and Morocco and all those places than there are here.”
L’Heureux Dubé did not
respond to an interview request Monday but she is confirmed as a member
of Rassemblement pour la laïcité (Rally for Secularism), which will
present itself Tuesday morning as a diverse group of union leaders,
academics, politicians and activists in support a strictly secular
Quebec.
.
.
A spokesperson for the group said the retired judge was out of the country.
.
.
The organization
spokesperson, Michèle Sirois, would not discuss the details of their
position, though many members have long-held positions in favour of a
ban on religious clothing for police officers, teachers, doctors,
daycare workers and any others who receive a paycheque from the
provincial government.
.
.
Others have also
argued that the crucifix that hangs in the Quebec legislature should be
removed — a position that the PQ government has rejected by arguing that
the symbol of Catholicism is a reminder of the province’s heritage.
.
.
The legal reasons underpinning L’Heureux Dubé’s position on secularism would seem to be in line with that of the legal advice provided to the PQ government
last spring that sections of both the Canadian and Quebec charters of
rights and freedoms allow for laws that make a reasonable infringement
on certain constitutional rights.
.
.
But her support for
more strict rules around religious neutrality in the public sector and
the equality between men and women is a lifetime in the making for the
first female Supreme Court justice from Quebec, who has a reputation as a
staunch advocate of social justice that often put her at odds with her
fellow judges.
.
.
She held nothing back
in the May interview, saying that complete face covering for Muslim
women was a sign of “oppression” and that explicit rules on what is
unacceptable in the name of secularism will ensure that immigrants
“become like us.”
.
.
L’Heureux-Dubé praised
France for fighting so long and hard to instill its secular state where
freedom and equality are the founding motto. She said the laissez-faire
approach taken in the United Kingdom would be a disastrous model for
Quebec.
.
.
Quebec Premier Pauline Marois put forward a
similar pro-France justification in a recent interview defending her
government’s values charter, controversially saying that in England,
“they argue and throw bombs at each other because it’s multiculturalism
and people are no longer able to see themselves in that society.”

ESTABLISHING THE RELIGIOUS
NEUTRALITY OF THE STATE
The state has an obligation to be neutral, which is an essential condition to ensure freedom of conscience and religion.
The best way to respect
everyone’s beliefs is for the state to remain neutral and have no
religion. This principle promotes pluralism by ensuring fair and equal
treatment of all beliefs.
Affirming
values
Quebec
Contributions by Quebecers of all
origins have enabled us to build an open society that shares
fundamental values. These values defining Québec society and
constituting a form of social contract are, among others, equality
between women and men, religious neutrality of Québec’s public
institutions, and recognition of a common historic heritage.
By affirming these values, we are proposing to build a strong Québec identity, whether one was born here or elsewhere.
Quebec politician proposes
government ban on religious headwear
The
proposal, which would forbid public employees from wearing hijabs and turbans,
will be introduced for debate later this year

Quebec is proposing a law that would forbid government
workers from wearing religious headwear such as hijabs, turbans, and kippas.
The
separatist Parti Québécois government said Tuesday the so-called "values
charter" will be introduced for debate later this year.
The plan
has revived a debate in Quebec over religious accommodation and has been widely
criticized in the rest of Canada.
Bernard
Drainville, the minister responsible for the proposal, says the goal is to
ensure the complete neutrality of the state on religion.
The ban
would apply to every public worker, including teachers and police. It would not
apply to elected officials because people have a right to choose their
representative, Drainville said.
Smaller
religious symbols, such as a Christian cross on a necklace or the Star of David
on a ring, will be allowed.
The
federal government has said it will seek the advice of the Department of
Justice and suggested it could go to court if the proposal violates fundamental
rights.

I decided to call up this topless protester to talk about this week’s
action at the National Assembly and her take on the Quebec Charter of
Values.
Praying topless is all the rage ia Facebook.
We were charged with nudity, indecent exposure and disrupting public order. According to the criminal code, I don’t think we are going to be formally accused of anything because we can contest that our body can be used as a political tribune. When we were there, even the security agents seemed to understand our action better than anybody else. You could see it in their eyes.
Politicians have reacted saying people should completely dismiss it. They want to keep their eyes shut. There’s been a media storm surrounding this story and now people are talking about it. That’s the goal of Femen, to get people’s attention. We use methods that are extremely crude. Nowadays, to get a message across and break through the constant flow of information, we need to go hard. Then we have to work to explain the meaning behind our performance.
We decided to focus on the crucifix. Ever since the debate over the Quebec Charter of Values has sprung, there seems to have been a great lack of coherence. The crucifix is inside the parliament, a place synonymous with neutrality. The government wants the state to be neutral. If the government is not willing to compromise, there is no reason why individuals from different religions should be willing to compromise on their religious affiliations. The charter brings along a complete incomprehension between “old stock” Quebecers and immigrants.
In previous demonstrations, we have criticized the fact that the crucifix was put in place by Maurice Duplessis in 1936. It represents a seal between the state and the Roman Catholic Church. This seems a bit ridiculous. The National Assembly existed before 1936, which means that it was able to operate without the crucifix. It seems like they’re trying really hard to justify this so-called “cultural heritage.” Why would this symbol dominate all the other ones? This is the question we are asking. Femen is against religious institutions, we are basically fighting religions. Feminism and religion don’t quite seem to get along. Every religion has oppressed at one point or another and continues to oppress women.

Chatting with Femen Quebec about Nudity, the Crucifix, and the Charter of Values
Quebec’s mind-numbingly boring legislative National Assembly was
recently treated to a lot more toplessness than the usual Jesus Christ—who is known for hanging out on the cross at the front of the room with his shirt off—when three women stormed the parliamentry proceedings, ripped off their shirts
and yelled out “Crucifix, décalisse” or “Crucifix, get the fuck out,”
for those of you not familiar with sacrilegious Quebecois slang.
As you’ve probably figured out by now, the three women are members of
the controversial feminist movement Femen. This time, the women went
topless to protest the presence of the crucifix inside the National
Assembly in contrast to the supposed “religious neutrality” of the
controversial Quebec Charter of Values.
One of the spokespeople for Femen Quebec, which is the first active
Femen branch in all of North America, is Ukrainian-born,
Northern-Quebec-raised Xenia Chernyshova.This event marked the first
time in the history of Femen where members were able to enter and
protest inside a parliament building, but this isn’t Xenia’s first time
making history with her politically involved breasts.
Xenia was part of a small group of women, alongside Inna Shevchenko, who chainsawed a four-meter high wooden crucifix in Kiev, as the Moscow court was about to release the verdict on the Pussy Riot case.
Praying topless is all the rage ia Facebook.
VICE: Hi Xenia. First off, I want to ask you what consequences are you and the other girls facing right now?
We were charged with nudity, indecent exposure and disrupting public order. According to the criminal code, I don’t think we are going to be formally accused of anything because we can contest that our body can be used as a political tribune. When we were there, even the security agents seemed to understand our action better than anybody else. You could see it in their eyes.
What has been the impact so far of your action at the National Assembly?
Politicians have reacted saying people should completely dismiss it. They want to keep their eyes shut. There’s been a media storm surrounding this story and now people are talking about it. That’s the goal of Femen, to get people’s attention. We use methods that are extremely crude. Nowadays, to get a message across and break through the constant flow of information, we need to go hard. Then we have to work to explain the meaning behind our performance.
Let’s get to that. Why did you choose to show up and protest bare-chested at the National Assembly?
We decided to focus on the crucifix. Ever since the debate over the Quebec Charter of Values has sprung, there seems to have been a great lack of coherence. The crucifix is inside the parliament, a place synonymous with neutrality. The government wants the state to be neutral. If the government is not willing to compromise, there is no reason why individuals from different religions should be willing to compromise on their religious affiliations. The charter brings along a complete incomprehension between “old stock” Quebecers and immigrants.
Would you say the government is being hypocritical by saying
that the crucifix inside the Assembly is part of our “cultural
heritage”?
In previous demonstrations, we have criticized the fact that the crucifix was put in place by Maurice Duplessis in 1936. It represents a seal between the state and the Roman Catholic Church. This seems a bit ridiculous. The National Assembly existed before 1936, which means that it was able to operate without the crucifix. It seems like they’re trying really hard to justify this so-called “cultural heritage.” Why would this symbol dominate all the other ones? This is the question we are asking. Femen is against religious institutions, we are basically fighting religions. Feminism and religion don’t quite seem to get along. Every religion has oppressed at one point or another and continues to oppress women.
So, would you say you are for complete secularism?
Of the state, yes. What I find completely ridiculous is that, in other places in the world, women are persecuted for not wearing a veil while here they’re being persecuted for wearing one. Secularism in Quebec is already pretty entrenched in our society. But the main thing that bothers me is that I don’t know anyone with strong visible religious affiliations that are affecting their public jobs. Where are they? Has there ever been a major instance where someone’s faith has disrupted the neutrality of the state?

Battle drags on between Philippine troops and Muslim rebels

Philippine government troops claimed more than a week ago to be mopping up a failed attempt by Muslim rebels to seize the port city of Zamboanga, but news media report continuing clashes and mounting casualties.
The fighting, in its 17th day when dawn broke over the paralyzed city Thursday, has destroyed 1,000 buildings, driven at least 80,000 local residents from their homes and killed scores, Asia Times Online reported. It has also reportedly spread to areas of the southern island of Mindanao and has involved other Muslim militants, including Abu Sayyaf.
"The Zamboanga crisis has laid bare the inherent vulnerabilities of the Philippine government in providing security to its citizens as well as instituting durable peace in Mindanao," the online news site said in an analysis of the crisis.
Government-run media have reported little about the sporadic fighting that has closed schools and transit operations for more than two weeks, apparently in fear of scaring off investors and tourists and alarming the millions of Filipinos who work and live abroad. Independent media, though, have lamented the dearth of attention on the Philippine crisis in comparison with the four-day siege of a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya.
About 200 rebels of the Moro National Liberation Front, which has been fighting for autonomy for Philippine Muslims for more than 40 years, sailed from their island villages west of Zamboanga on Sept. 9 to launch a pre-dawn assault on the port city of 800,000. The attackers had planned to march to the city center, plant a flag at City Hall and proclaim the Independent Bangsamoro Republic, according to Inquirer.net.
Inquirer quoted Philippine army spokesman Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala as saying 103 rebels had been killed since the abortive attempt to seize the city and that another 118 had surrendered. At least 14 government troops and security officers have died, as well as several civilians.
While the deployment of more than 3,000 police and soldiers scattered the initial invaders and drove them into small factions holding out in the evacuated outskirts, reinforcements from allied Muslim factions have arrived to spread the clashes and standoffs to surrounding towns, Inquirer said.
President Benigno Aquino III has issued an ultimatum for the rebel front's founder, Nur Misuari, to surrender, warning that the government is prepared to use additional force. The threat followed reports that Misuari recruited impoverished rebels for the Zamboanga siege with promises of money and arms.
Misuari also led the gunmen to believe their actions were the start of a United Nations operation to secure the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Asia Times Online said. The news site quoted Mujiv Hataman, leader of the ARMM, an area of southern territory over which officials in Manila and Moro have been negotiating under a tentative power- and resource-sharing agreement reached last year with a splinter group of the original Moro front.
Muslims make up about 5% of the Philippines' 106 million population,
while the vast majority of the rest adhere to Catholicism or other
Christian faiths.
The government has been struggling with Muslim insurgents since the Moro front was founded in 1971, with at least 120,000 estimated to have died in the fighting.

The two superpowers United States and China are world bullies and we should not allow a bully to replace another bully.” Read about China and how it is invading Philippine soil http://filipina-nannies-caregivers.blogspot.ca/2013/05/chinese-invaded-zambales-blow-up.html
In this blog, we collect all stories about Philippine women
slavery in many countries around the world. Click on each
country, or city, or entry, there you will find MANY related articles written
by professional journalists and organizations that try to help them. These Filipinas are not physically chained in
steel like those African slaves in the past century. But these Filipinas are invisibly forced and chained via their employers’ total control of their passport and
status, such as the Live-in-Care Program in Canada.
The mission of this blog is to INFORM and EMPOWER all
Filipinas and to UNITE them from all over the world so that they can begin to
be enlightened and cooperate with organizations who try to help them to stop
being slaves. The book of Jose Rizal, Noli Me Tangere, informed, enlightened,
awakened and united the Filipino people to free themselves from the 400-years
slavery under Spain. The goal of this
blog is similar to that book http://filipina-nannies-caregivers.blogspot.ca/2013/05/jose-rizal-quotations.html
Keep reading and meditate on each article posted and ask yourself - how YOU can help to CHANGE and END the slavery of Filipina nannies, caregivers and domestic maids.
