The Tonog Family: NJ couple's deportation stopped, a new beginning


(Rica and Gideon Tonog with their daughter)


We were blessed with FALDEF's intervention in our legal battle.  Atty. Mallonga gave us hope and was able to develop a thoughtful, effective and thorough plan to address our problem. He took time to understand our fears, concerns and answered our legal questions.  He was a good listener, committed to help us, compassionate and accompanied us in all our court hearings which achieved our objectives and resolved our deportation order. 

With Atty. Mallonga's recommendation to involve our Filipino-American Community in Ocean County, we were able to stay. We are at peace as we  continue to hope for a better future. We also became the voice of our kababayans who are also having immigration problems.  We are grateful to FALDEF and its members for giving us hope and courage to our immigration concerns.

To our kababayans who may be in a similar situation, there is hope – thanks to the services unselfishly provided by competent professionals who comprise this noble organization - FALDEF.
