VIENNA, Austria - The multi-sectoral council for honest, orderly and peaceful elections (HOPE) led an ecumenical prayer rally for peace last week in Vienna.

The event began with prayers, followed by inspirational messages from key personalities from the various Christian churches in Vienna. The messages of the speakers called for the participation of peace-loving Filipinos in maintaining a peaceful and credible election.

In his opening prayer, Catholic Filipino priest Fr. Mars Sahulga, SVD  asked the holy  spirit for help and guidance to choose the right candidate for the highest office in the Philippines, especially officials who are credible, honest, selfless, righteous and God-fearing.

Larry Castillo of the Couples for Christ - FFL wished and prayed that the May 2010 election be an opportunity for Filipinos to put into office people who will serve the people with decency and good governance and lead the country to prosperity and peace.

Ben Repol of the Kapounungan sa mga Bisaya sa Austria and program facilitator of the ecumenical prayer commented that the affair is a display of unity in order to help ensure clean and honest elections in May.

"We have shown that we can unite in prayers. Now, we can unite and act on something concrete such as the coming elections. Lifted by this ecumenical prayer, we, from the various churches, could help ensure what we call 'HOPE' or honest, orderly and peaceful elections," said Repol.

“The theme HOPE, which is being discussed here, ay napakahalaga dahil kahit na nakikita nating wala nang pag-asa ang Pilipinas, the HOPE we are speaking here ang nagbibigay ng passion at inspirasyon sa bawat isa. We believe na may pag-asa pang makabangon ang Pilipinas,” Dominik Briones told ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau.

Bro. Manny Sarmiento of the PINAS FIRST Movement in Austria, one of the organizers of the prayer meeting, said that HOPE advocates vow to closely coordinate and monitor the May 2010 Philippine electoral process and will continually strive to raise the level of election literacy in the Filipino community in Vienna.

Rally in front of the Netherland and Philippine Embassy

A solidarity group representing various progressive organizations in Vienna, Austria staged on Friday 16 April 2010, 6pm a picket rally to express unity with the victims of human rights violations in the Philippines

The participants distributed flyers and presented facts and figures
over the megaphone as it gathered in front of the Netherlands Embassy
and marched to Schwedenplatz in front of the Philippine Embassy.

The Arroyo administration, against which the protest action was
directed, came into power in 2001 and will go down in history for its
frenzy of killing and violence. As of 10 December 2009, its record of
human rights violations include more than 1,118 extrajudicial
killings, 204 enforced disappearances, 1,026 victims of torture and
the detention of more than 200 political prisoners.

The gruesome carnage in Maguindanao on 23 November 2009, that took
the lives of 57 people, the illegal arrest, detention and torture of
the Morong 43 (health workers) on 6 February 2010, the almost daily
slaying of political candidates and their aides and of journalists,
and the continued persecution of Prof. Jose Maria Sison, the chief
political consultant of the National Democratic Front of the
Philippines, are among the recent glaring crimes of the Arroyo
administration against the Filipino people and against humanity in
general.

The time for solidarity is now! Let us combat impunity and be one
with those who seek justice for the victims of the Maguindanao
massacre, with the 43 (Morong) health workers illegally arrested and
with all those who work peacefully for democracy and in defence of
others’ rights. Together, let us boldly assert our rights as
individuals and as a people.

Justice to the victims Maguindanao atrocities and human rights violations!
Immediate and unconditional release of the Morong 43 health workers!
Permanent residence status to Prof. Jose Maria Sison in the Netherlands!
