In response to the column where Joel Cabides was featured in your November 2007 issue, I am a bit concerned that the case hasn’t been responded by the Immigration minister. I am glad that there are some concerned Filipino Australians who wrote a letter to Mr. Nelson.

$1,000 per annum to MPC
Since 1990, I have been contributing at least $1,000 every year to the Multi-Purpose Centre with the hope that it would be completed someday. No receipts were ever issued to me but my records are complete because I have been issuing cheques payable to the Philippine Australian Community Foundation, Inc.
Government acted on Cabides request for permanent residence
This is an update on your update on Joel Cabides. Contrary to your claims in the article, the previous Government did act on Joel Cabides’ family request for permanent residency. The Filipino Chaplaincy- Chatswood Parish in consultation with the family embarked on a petition-signature campaign on Joel’s behalf last August 2007.
