Workers protest MWSS board's 'excessive' allowances

MWSS chairman denies allegations

MANILA, Philippines - Employees of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) on Monday held a protest rally to denounce what they call are "excessive" benefits given to members of its board.
Holding placards and streamers, around 30 MWSS employees protested during their lunch break. They claimed that each board member is paid P9,000 per regular committee meeting and P 15,000 for board meeting.
Nap Quiñones, MWSS Labor Association president, claimed MWSS officials and consultants are violating the new government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC) law.
The group said MWSS trustees would schedule 4 committee meetings in a day, which would total earnings of P36,000 a day.
The group also accused the new MWSS management of hiring 36 consultants at P30,000 each.
They noted while the board members slashed their meal allowance of P150 a day to P3 a day, they feasted on excessive allowances.
The protesters were joined outside the MWSS by consumer group Water for All Refund Movement (WARM) who also denounced the hefty allowances and demanded the ouster of MWSS officials.
WARM also insisted on the refund of around P2 billion in collections to fund the cancelled Laiban dam and Bulacan irrigation projects initiated by the MWSS during the previous administration.
'Baseless accusations'
MWSS chairman Ramon Alikpala said all the accusations of the group were not true and have no basis. While Alikpala did not dispute the P9,000 per diem for each committee meeting, he insisted that the board members do not receive compensation or salary package.
He said this amount is within bounds of the law. Alikpala said it is not true that members of the board had meetings held 4 times a day.
There was an instance in April that several committee meetings were held but Alikpala said these were attended by different members of the board.
Compared to the previous chairman of the board who received P5 million a year, Alikpala said he only gets an income of P500,000, just a fraction of what his predecessor got.
Alikpala admitted the reduction of the meal allowance but stressed the additional compensation has no basis in law. He also defended the hiring of consultants which he claimed are needed in specialized area concerns of the MWSS but the number did not reach 36 at all.
When asked if he will resign, Alikpala said "if I do leave MWSS, it won't be because of this."
Meanwhile, Alikpala said the collected amount for the shelved Laiban and Bulacan irrigation project will not be refunded since the government will push through with these projects anyway. Any over- or undercollection can be remedied in the current rate rebasing done by the MWSS regulatory office for both Maynilad and Manila Water, he added.

Evil Empire Rising

On the eve of the destruction of the Senate
Caused by spin masters of the Dark Lord,
The Republic teethered between life and death
Forcing the corrupt ministers of the old to plan a 

massive counter attack. . .
Endangering a prospective era of peace. . .
Meanwhile, separatist rebels massed in the southern regions outflanked the dark lords' armies. . .
Rebels stormed the army and civilian strongholds and fired volley after volley of heavy weapons. . .
There was burning and destruction.
The innocent populace were caught in the maelstrom.
Almost imperceptibly, sinister forces led by the young Sith Lord brought forth his armies and mechanized armaments of war,
turning the tide of battle,
Using his ability to force a victorious outcome,
the dark lord projected his battle mindwaves onto the battlefields,
thereby devastating the morale of the separatist rebels, forcing a protracted capitulation. . .
At this hour of survival,
Shots and countershots still ring the battlefields. .
Up to now, an evil shadow of the empire hangs over the fate of the Republic. . .
And whatever. . .
Whatever remains of the innocent. .
Even those who are unarmed. . . are slaughtered.

JESUITS DESTROYED THE PHILIPPINES.

Jesuits Stole Philippine Gold Reserves at Central Bank

Researcher And Historian Claims New World Order With Help From Vatican And Jesuits Are Destroying Philippines Bobby G. Limeta says the same thing is happening in America, but observers claim media and government are protecting the real enemy. 2 Jun 2006 By Greg Szymanski When it comes to nailing the real enemy in America, the suppression of speech and the free flow of information has become a joke. And while the fat cats are laughing, the country has become a caldron of confusion, hatred and deception, leaving most good men shaking their heads at all the two-faced, back-stabbing cowards in positions of governmental and media power. A 90-year-old reader former German from Blythe, California, who survived Stalin, Mussolini, Churchill, FDR and Hitler, put it well when he said: “I can’t even stomach listening or looking at Bush and his corrupt media friends. I felt the same way about Hitler and the same thing is happening here, but Americans are too fat and blind too care or see anything.” So the search for America’s real enemy is deflected, side-tracked, derailed and stonewalled by the thousands of New World Order minions, protecting the big shots at the top. With that in mind, to fight the New World Order, the enemy from within must first be exposed. And according to many good patriots, most of them silenced by the corrupted media, a discussion of the real enemy within, including the Illuminati and Zionists, is totally outrageous and incomplete without including the Vatican and the Jesuit Order. However, every once in a blue moon a courageous man comes forward who is unafraid of the powerful evil forces protecting the Vatican and Jesuits. And every once in awhile a man steps forward with solid information, helping to connect the dots and helping Americans wade through the crock of horse manure spread out on the air waves and in Washington. In this case, the man is historian Bobby G. Limeta of the Philippines, who has chronicled, studied and closely observed the Jesuit Order since 1990, saying: “The Philippines was dilapidated, looted and now an impoverished nation because of the conspiracies made by some elite peoples, priests and nuns that are controlled by the Jesuits. Today, political crisis & intrigues, social agitations, street marches-protests-rallies, and rebellions are very common in the Republic of the Philippines. These arenas are the expertise of the Jesuit Order.” Limeta, who closely monitors the nefarious activities of the so-called God-loving Society of Jesus in the Philippines, warns Americans if the Jesuits would have their dirty hands in destroying his country, they are doing the exact same thing in America. “I also said it many times on my written articles that no other entities in the world could parallel the diabolic works of the Jesuits,” said Limeta, adding Americans are also being conned, duped and sold down the river by the cunning and deceptive Jesuits, hiding behind the cloak of the clergy and their third party governmental and business counterparts in crime. So if the Jesuits and the Vatican are the spiritual controllers of the New World Order, why have they been given a free-ride in America to do whatever they want without even the slightest bit of attention? Limeta and other researchers say they are protected by their third party governmental, business and media lackeys, allowing them to operate behind the scenes as the black robes of the clergy provide the perfect cover. In an effort to expose what Limeta calls the “evil Jesuits,” he provides 18 points of reference concerning how the Jesuits actively are destroying the Philippines, saying this gives more than an adequate reason to investigate their activities in America: Here is Limeta’s list concerning The Republic of the Philippines of The Jesuit Order: 1.The two people power Edsa Revolution are the works of the Jesuits. Overthrew two presidents "Ferdinand Marcos & Joseph Estrada. 2.President Golria Macapagal Arroyo 'GMA" is a Jesuit educated at the Jesuit owned Ateneo de Manila and Georgetown University (Fr. Edmund A. Walsh School Of Foreign Service). 3. GMA and Fr. Romeo Intengan (former Jesuit Provincial Superior In The Philippines) are sometimes having secret meetings at the Jesuit House in Quezon City, Manila. 4. Fr. Romeo Intengan is GMA's spiritual and religious adviser. 5. GMA's National Security Adviser Mr. Norberto Gonzales & Fr. Romeo Intengan are the founders of Partido Demokratiko Sosyalista Ng Pilipinas (PDSP) to combat Marcos regime. 6. The Jesuits introduced and brought the Theory of Liberation here in the Philippines. The same theology that havoc Nicaragua by the Sandinista Rebels. Because, of this Liberation Theology, there are now approximately 2,000 priest and nuns who are radicals and secretly supporting and associating themselves to the communist rebels in the Philippines. The same theology that resulted into the establishment of the Communist Party Of The Philippines - New Peoples Army (CPP-NPA) headed by Jose Maria Sison. Followed by the National Democratic Front (NDF) headed by Fr. Luis Jalandoni. Both these men are exiled in Netherlands. 7. Liberation Theology is being teach at the Jesuit owned Ateneo de Manila University under "Curriculum 141 Immersion Program". The reason, many young students become very subversive against the Philippine government. This theology is the result of the creation of various anti-government militant organizations or groups "Communist Ideology." 8. The Jesuits are the real master-minds of the terrorist movement known as the "Light A Fire Movement" during Marcos regime, as per confession by their former obedient follower named Mr. Ed Olaguer. Mr. Olaguer admitted that the Jesuits together with Mr. Norberto Gonzales are the people giving secret directives for planting bombs and arsons in various parts of the country during Marcos regime. 9. Another cohorts of the Jesuits is former president Cory Aquino who allowed Jesuit Fr. Joaquin Bernas to touched and amend our beloved 1987 Philippine constitution. Fr. Joaquin Bernas is Ateneo's Constitutionalist. 10. The Jesuits are the educators of our past, recent and present leaders (Presidents, Senators, Congressman, Businessmen, Rich & Elite Families). Who are controlling thesideshow of Philippine politics and behind them are the Jesuits. 11. Ateneo de Manila University oversees government functions like Georgetown University. This university is the secret meeting place for political agendas where dark motives are planned. 12. Fr. Integan is member of the Transition Government Committee for the smooth transition of President Estrada for the new in-coming president of the republic "GMA". 13. Both GMA and Norberto Gonzales are my pin-pointed Jesuit temporal co-adjutor. 14. Our Supreme Court Justices are members of the Knights Of Columbus. A Jesuit founded society. I call it "Philippine Supreme Court of the Knights Of Columbus by the Jesuit Order. 15. Two former senators and some in secret are members of the Jesuit's arm "Opus Dei". 16. OSS/CIA Agent Col. Severino Santa Romana a.k.a. Reverend Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz (Opus Dei) together with Atty. Ferdinand Marcos who become Philippine President and also one of their associate ex-priest Fr. Marcelino Tagle are the culprits in looting of Philippine gold out of the vaults of the Central Bank Of The Philippines. 17. Marcos friend Spanish-Filipino Mestizo Billionaire Don Enrique Zobel de Ayala, their idea to create a foundation for Marcos ill-gotten wealth. Who was the trustee, it was the Vatican Trust managed by Archbishop Bruno Torpiglianni (Papal Nuncio) and Fr. Alarcon of De La Salle University Jesuit Brothers. 18. Yesterday, former president Joseph Estrada strongly accused that his overthew legitimate government was done by conspiracy works of the following people. Fidel Ramos - former Philippine President Elite Businessmen Lopez & Ayala Rich Families. Some Military & Police Generals Jaime Cardinal Sin - the late Archbishop of Manila to include Cory Aquino and GMA's husband, Miguel Arroyo.

Confession No. 11: According to Philippine Man, Jesuit And Vatican Have Pilfered Trillions In Gold Owed To The People by Greg Szymanski, July 02, 2006 Last Updated: Sunday, July 02, 2006 01:59:34 PM Freedom fighter connects the dots back to Rome, as Americans better wake-up before the same thing happens here like is going on in the Philippines. Bobby Limeta of the Philippines feels alone, abandoned and frightened for his life in his fight to expose the corrupt Jesuit Order. First and foremost, frightened for the safety of his family, he is considering a move to New Zealand, seeking safe haven from the persecution being dished out for his political views and exposure of Vatican corruption. Limeta has previously contributed to these Sunday Confessions, shedding light on how the Jesuits are raping and pillaging the Philippines in hopes Americans wake up before the same thing happens here. But now he comes forward in Confession No. 11 on the shores of Brushy Creek, telling about his personal experiences as well as sharing more shocking information about the Jesuits and their underhanded control of the Philippines. What I will tell you now is a matter of life and death,? said Limeta. My country has been for 485 years controlled by the Roman Catholic Church and of course the Jesuits are the masterminds. Our government is controlled by the Jesuits-Vatican and our country is one of their stronghold territories.Would you believe that our government's secret operatives, controlled by the Jesuits-Vatican, can grab me inside my home using warrantless arrest and my family will never see me again, alive. Is it bad or a sin to be a patriotic citizen of my beloved country? Is it bad or a sin to tell the truth and nothing but the truth? You may ask me, why I'm angry to the Jesuits-Vatican (Roman Catholic hierarchy)? Well, what if I tell you that the Jesuits-Vatican of the Roman Catholic Church are the real thieves that looted the wealth of our nation. It all started way back 1990 (16-years ago), I saw my countrymen become poorer and poorer, becoming innocent victims and betrayed. Only elite and rich families, influential politicians and show-biz personalities enjoy the good life. My country is dilapidated and now an impoverished nation. The poor are unable to get good medical care and treatment, for we do not have enough money. We the minority, middle-class and the poor also cannot get a high standard of education, simply because we don't have money. Simply, we are in debt to the World Bank & IMF loan system benefiting the rich. The interest alone is already killing millions of my countrymen, especially the poor. What World Bank and International Monetary Fund? These are owned by the Jesuits-Vatican ! Since 1990, I promised myself that I will find out the real culprits. It did not take me long to discover it was the Jesuits. Now below is what I've discovered and found out with supporting documents. Now, brace yourself as to what I've discovered and investigated that no politicians will even dare speak about it. The Jesuits-Vatican initiated the Second 30 Years War (1914-1945). Yes, indeed our country was invaded and occupied by the Imperial Forces of Japan under Gen. Masaharu Homa. The Japanese Imperial forces had previously looted all the gold and treasures of the Far East, from China down to French Indo-China, from Singapore, Malaysia and finally bringing it to the Philippines when theJ apanese started losing the war against the Allies. As the US forces with air and naval superiority cut-off the Philippines link-up to mainland Japan, Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita and his senior officers buried the looted gold in various parts of our country. After the war, some Jesuit-controlled OSS Agents and senior officials who are members of Knights of Malta began searching for the gold. They included Refv Fr. Joes Antonio Diaz, Opus Dei, alias COL. SEVERINO SANTA ROMANA (OSS Agents called him Santy for short) together with Gen. Edward Lansdale and coordinated by Wild Bill Donovan,? all confirmed Knights of Malta of the Catholic Secret Brotherhood secret alliance along with the help of NAZI war criminals Franz Von Papen, Gen. Reinhard Ghelen, Heinrich Himmler. Rev. Father Diaz alias Col. Santy and Gen. Edward Lansdale without showing any mercy then killed the Hukbalahak rebels. Why? Because the territories held by the rebels are the exact locations where Yamashita's gold was buried. Not only that, Rev. Father Diaz, alias Col. Santy and his cohorts OSS Agents even tortured the personal driver of Gen. Yamashita to confess and reveal where the gold was actually buried. Major Ferdinand Marcos, who became senator and president of the Republic, also knew about it. That's why Rev. Father Diaz alias Col. Santy hired Marcos as his lawyer to bring out the recovered Yamashita's looted Asian gold. However, by 1949 our people had accumulated 600,000 metric tons of gold deposited inside the vault of the Central Bank. This 600,000 metric tons of gold was different from the Yamashita's looted gold. Hence, my countrymen are proud of it and legally speaking it's our property. For decency, my countrymen will not claim the Asia's looted gold by the Japanese Imperial Forces. What we are claiming is our country's own gold deposited inside the vaults of the Central Bank. In short, Yamashita's looted Asian gold and our very own gold deposited inside the vaults of the central bank was brought out of our country by Rev. Father Diaz and traitor Ferdinand Marcos. The gold then was mixed together and deposited in various Jesuit-controlled illegal bank accounts in Switzerland and other banks. The illegal Nugan-Hand Bank of Australia operated CIA formerly OSS controlled by the Jesuits-Vatican helped in transporting other gold to Australia and then diverted into other countries. The Jesuits know it and they are watching as Rev. Father Diaz is a member of Opus Dei, all bagmen of the Jesuit-Vatican. I also discovered that Michael Hand of the Nugan-Hand Bank is a CIA Agent! ?The most shocking revelation is this, when Marcos was still alive, he wrote a letter as his last will before he died that his looted wealth (our country?s wealth) will be entrusted to the Vatican Trust. His true color was revealed. Also former Catholic priest, Marcelino Tagle of Bataan said that Marcos always worked for the Vatican. Now, I see the whole scenario. According to EJ & Doris J. Ekke documents revealing the hidden history of the gold the 400,000 metric tons of gold held in the vaults of the Central Bank would elevate the gold-based money supply in the Philippines to more than twice as much per person as the money supply in the U.S. and U.S. money is not backed by gold. If that much money, some 4 trillion dollars, were to be spent cleaning and fixing up the Philippines, think of what a paradise it would be. The Roman Catholic Church disguisd as religion from God and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as the Catholic Church-Jesuits-Vatican are GREAT LIARS AND HYPROCRITES. They have betrayed my countrymen now living in despair and poverty because the Jesuits-Vatican-Roman Catholic Church illegally looted our country?s gold. Anyone of my countrymen who will dispute me, I'll take on in a manly and civilized debate. Anyone who hates the truth is against our Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone of my countrymen that will dispute this hidden history of our country will become ignorant to reality. There?s no mystery in an open mind. Remember God is truth and we shall worship God in the spirit and truth. Jesus Christ said, and the truth shall set us free. Therefore, I accuse the Jesuit-Vatican of the Roman Catholic Church as the mastermind, culprits and guilty entities for the looting of our country's wealth. And I as a legal citizen of my country has the right to demand in behalf of my countrymen under the protection of our God given Constitution and Bill Of Rights demanding the Roman Catholic Church to return the gold they have illegally looted. I admit I'm angry to the Catholic Church as I saw my poor countrymen living in despair. Why did the Catholic Church betray my countrymen and our country? They (Catholic Church) came into our country and my countrymen embraced them honestly and with respect.I have in my possession 15 sheets of original photocopied documents linking Rev. Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz (Opus Dei) alias Col. Santa Romana (OSS Agent), Gen. Edward Lansdale, Ferdinand E. Marcos, the late Archbishop Of Manila Jaime Cardinal Sin and Baron Arndt Krupp for the looting of various gold and of course our country's very own gold. And you'll be shocked that the shadows and footprints of the Jesuits-Vatican will be realized once and for all.? For more informative articles, go to www.arcticbeacon.com

Proposed NFA abolition hit

By Anna Leah G. Estrada | Posted on Mar. 02, 2013 at 12:02am | 959 views

The Agriculture Department warned Friday that abolishing the National Food Authority will tantamount to a “political suicide” and displace 3 million Filipino palay farmers.
“The NFA plays a very important role. We are working so hard to achieve the country’s rice self-sufficiency status, and yet other government agencies are trying to ruin it,” said Assistant Secretary and Philippine Rice Program Coordinator Dante Delima.
“If the National Economic and Development Authority and the Department of Budget and Management don’t want to support the food staples and sufficiency program, the DA will still pursue it,” he added.
Delima said other government agencies are proposing the abolition of the NFA and the elimination of the quantitative restrictions on rice imports. The quantitative restrictions allows the government to limit the volume of imported rice to prevent a possible drop in rice prices.
“They want to abolish NFA. They also want to stop the local palay procurement. What we are asking is a temporary QR to enable us to prepare our farmers for the entry of imported rice at a cheaper price. What will happen to our 3 million palay farmers if that will push through?” asked Delima.
NFA earlier said palay production would reach over 20 million metric tons in 2013 and that it would buy 650,000 metric tons of rice, or just 3 percent of the total local output.
Delima said Agriculture wanted to increase the local palay procurement to 10 percent to further help the country’s farmers.
“Abolishing the NFA and QR is a political suicide for me. Note that only one million people went to Edsa if you remember, and we are talking about 3 million palay farmers here. What will they do if these farmers complain?” Delima asked.

Delima said President Benigno Aquino had been supportive of the food sufficiency program but other government officials were clearly not. He said abolishing the NFA would  imperil the country’s goal of attaining rice self-sufficiency.
“They are putting too much pressure on us during deliberations. They said that maintenance of NFA is very high. They said that we have to stop the QR. If we stop the QR, we will no longer have control of what will enter the country. We all want to have cheaper prices of commodities but we also have our social responsibilities,” Delima said.
The official said abolishing the NFA would worsen the country’s unemployment rate, noting that there were three farmers for every 10 Filipino workers.
