AJLPP Demand Stop the Deportation of the Servano Couple

San Francisco-- The Alliance For Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines (AJLPP) national coordinator Mario Santos express its utmost militant demand that the Department of Homeland Security heed the call of the American and Filipino peoples not to deport the Servano Couple now undergoing deportation proceedings.

The AJLPP National Coordinator Mario Santos expressed solidarity with the calls of the Coalition in Defense of immigrant Right (CDIR) and the Justice for Filipino American Veterans(JFAV),both Los Angeles based organizations and many other groups,individuals and important personalities to stop the deportation of the Servano couple and let the Servanos to stay as American citizens.

The Santos finds it absurd that Servano couple had to suffer such indignities while they served their community for more than25 years.

Dr. Pedro Servano has treated more than 2,000 patients while his wife, Salvacion have maintained a bakery in the community. Salvacion was petioned by his father, a World War II veteran who was a Bataan defender and a death march survivor who died in 2006.

The Deparment of Homeland Security must consider these factors and must not be rigid in following heartless rules and regulations.

AJLPP Santos said “Homeland Security must carefully considered the time honored policy of family reunification as the basic foundation of America’s immigration policy. Let us unite families , not tear them apart.”
