Alfredo Jaboli Ganapin(August 11, 1961 – December 20, 2004), one of the most active champions of the rights and welfare of migrant Filipino workers, has died of cancer. He was 43.<\/p>\n

Ganapin had his last seizure at 4:45 p.m. on December 20, 2004 after almost a month of confinement at the Faisal Specialist Hospital\u2019s intensive care unit in Riyadh, his colleagues said.<\/p>\n

His wife, Anamie, and sister Alice Ganapin, together with the medical staff of ICU MS 14, were at his bedside when he passed away.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is passionate to a cause and a very well organized person,\u201d said Mike Bolos, a co-convenor of Ganapin at International Coalition on Overseas Filipinos Voting Rights (ICOFVR).<\/p>\n

Bolos remembered Ganapin as one who had \u201can eagle\u2019s eye for details and always strived for perfection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a big loss to the organizations that he belongs to and we will sorely miss him,\u201d said Bolos.<\/p>\n

\u201cKa Alfred is a gallant advocate and a fighter in support to what he believes is right,\u201d said Alkhobar-based Gani Manalo.<\/p>\n

Despite his busy schedule, Ganapin, spent a lot of time campaigning for the enactment of the Philippine Absentee Voting Law. Ganapin arrived in the Kingdom in August 1991 as a veterinarian. He worked at the production center, veterinary vaccine, laboratory department of the Ministry of Agriculture.<\/p>\n

He was also a pioneer member of Progressive Times Group, and an original moderator of eLagda-Riyadh, proponent of e-Ladga \u201cErap Resign Movement, and a Namfrel volunteer during the absentee voting exercise in May.<\/p>\n

He and his colleagues were also volunteers of the Pusong Mamon Task Force, which is helping distressed Filipino workers in the Kingdom, and the migrant workers\u2019 advocacy group CMA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am truly saddened and shocked by this news. Alfred was such a sober and rational advocate of migrants\u2019 rights and he will be remembered,\u201d e-mailed Jalilo dela Torre, a diplomat formerly based in Riyadh and now in Tel-Aviv.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlfred was a champion of migrant worker\u2019s rights and welfare, to which he dedicated most of his life in Saudi Arabia,\u201d said dela Torre.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ronnie Abeto, a friend of Ganapin\u2019s and a colleague in the advocacy, now based in Yanbu, remembered how frustrated Alfred was during the May election regarding the future of the Philippines with the kind of candidates running for the top position of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigit sa lahat, si Alfred Ganapin ay isang simbolo ng katapangan, ng katapatan at ng katatagan (More than anything else, Alfred Ganapin was a symbol of courage, truthfulness and firmness,\u201d said Abeto.<\/p>\n

Ellene Sana of Central for Migrant Advocacy (CMA) said that Alfred was not just an advocate but also a poet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a dear friend who cheered me up when I was down,\u201d added Sana, who is based in Manila.<\/p>\n

Vic Barrazona, who appealed for blood donation when Ganapin was undergoing series of biopsy at KFSH, remembered him as one of the original individuals who launched \u201cSuportahan Ta Ka!\u201d a project which aims to help female distressed OFWs in Bahay Kalinga.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also participated in the round table discussion of Overseas Absentee Voting in Manila last July,\u201d said Barrazona.<\/p>\n
