WHEREAS, it is public knowledge that in certain nation-states, adhering to a certain creed, or even any creed, can result in an entire population subject to genocide;
WHEREAS, it is only just that those whose creeds give reason for their deaths at the hands of their host governments find sanctuary from pogroms and Holocausts should armed resistance be a choice too difficult to consider for families and communities;
WE, the Federal Republic of Central and Eastern Visayas, invoking the aid of the Almighty, hereby declare our borders open to peoples seeking sanctuary from genocide committed on religious grounds in their home countries.
If you seek to start anew after making that decision, we can help you.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Dr. Louis Valderama, Ph.D.
President
Government of the Federal Republic of Central and Eastern Visayas
