(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.
