Edmonton, Alberta – Sol’s heart for the poor and downtrodden did not lose flame throughout these years. It had always found her wherever she was – from her native Iloilo City, to Hong Kong and finally in Toronto, Canada.
Fifty-year old Maria Sol Pajadura was elected the new chairperson of Migrante Canada during its fourth congress on February 10 held in Vancouver, British Columbia. The congress saw some 100 participants from all over Canada, including local Canadians who are active supporters.
Pajadura, who came to Canada as a caregiver, vowed to ignite further militancy in the group in the face of “Canada’s economic neoliberal policy” and the “Philippine government’s raging fascism and ever-intensifying labor export policy.”
