JAGMEET SINGH WINS BURNABY SOUTH BY-ELECTION
JAGMEET SINGH WINS BURN-
ABY SOUTH BY-ELECTION
BURNABY – On Monday night,
the people of Burnaby
South elected NDP Leader
Jagmeet Singh to represent
them in Ottawa. During the
campaign, people in Burn-
aby South expressed their
disappointment in Justin
Trudeau’s Liberal govern-
ment and elected Singh to
push for the help Canadi-
ans need now.
“From the Paradise
Papers to SNC-Lavalin, it’s
obvious that Justin Trudeau
and his Liberal government
are not on your side — he’s focused
on favours for his friends. The people
in Burnaby South were clear that they
need help now. Help to afford a roof
over their head and to afford their
medications,” said Singh. “It’s time to
make life more affordable for regular
folks, instead of more affordable for
billionaires.”
For decades, everyday families
have been paying more and more,
while Conservative and Liberal govern-
ments tell Canadians they can’t afford
to improve the things they need most.
Jagmeet Singh and New Democrats
believe it doesn’t have to be this way.
We can invest in better health care, in
making sure this generation and the
next has a more affordable life - a job,
a home, secure retirement, in saving
our clean air and water and in making
our economy more sustainable.
“The rich corporations have
always had someone on their side
— and you’ve been paying for it. It’s
time to finally have someone on your
side,” added Singh. “I will bring this
fight for you to Ottawa. Thanks to a
vote of confidence from the people
of Burnaby South, today isn’t the end
of a campaign – it’s the start of one.”

Arnell Ignacio resigns from OWWA
Television host and comedian
Arnell Ignacio said Tuesday he has
resigned from his post at the Over-
seas Workers Welfare Administration
(OWWA).
Ignacio, who was appointed by
President Rodrigo Duterte as deputy
executive director V last year, tendered
his resignation 2 weeks ago.
He, however, refused to disclose
the reason for his resignation and in-
stead said he would hold a press brief-
ing later this week.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello
III has accepted his resignation and
noted that Ignacio stated personal
reasons for leaving the OWWA.
Ignacio, whose full name is Ar-
naldo Arevalo Ignacio, was one of
Duterte’s supporters from the enter-
tainment industry for his presidential
bid in 2016.
He was previously tapped by
Duterte as assistant vice-president for
the community relations and services
department of the Philippine Amuse-
ment and Gaming Corporation (PAG-
COR).
In a statement Wednesday,
Malacañang said Ignacio has “proven
his competence in public service in
his current position, as well as during
his tenure at the PAGCOR.”
“He has intimated his de-
sire to pursue other endeavors.
We wish him luck [in the] new
path he will traverse,” Presi-
dential Spokesperson Salvador
Panelo said.
“While the President
has yet to formally accept Mr.
Ignacio’s resignation, we rec-
ognize as well as thank him for
his contributions to the Filipino
people.” (Report from Lynda
