 Quezon mafia’ at DA!

ACTIVIST lawyer Argee Guevarra yesterday criticized Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala’s “dubious choice of appointees,” including an “American” who has been chosen to head the National Food Authority (NFA), the country’s lead food security agency. 

In a statement, Guevarra accused Alcala of “turning the DA into his own personal playground, appointing members of his ‘Quezon mafia’ into the department, including Orlan Calayag, an American citizen, as NFA administrator.”
“These very same people have been repeatedly accused of involvement in various acts of corruption including the Napoles pork barrel fund scam, yet they seem to continue to enjoy the confidence of Alcala, their political benefactor,” said Guevarra.
“Calayag is an American citizen leading the charge for national food security. Since when did our laws, including the NFA Charter, allow for the appointment of someone who has renounced his Filipino citizenship in order to acquire a foreign one?”
Calayag, former aide of then-congressman Alcala, flew from the United States back to the Philippines on December 19, 2012 bearing US Passport No. 462971672. He has since acquired dual citizenship as American and Filipino more than a year later on  January 7, 2013 -- six months after his appointment as NFA administrator effective  July 1, 2012.
“How was Alcala able to dupe the President into signing Calayag’s appointment in the first place? Even assuming he has regained dual citizenship, still, that does not qualify him for appointment in our bureaucracy,” explained Guevarra, a UP-trained lawyer.
Citing jurisprudence in Maquiling vs. Comelec (G.R. No. 195649, 16 April 2013) and Mercado vs. Manzano (G.R. No. 135083, 26 May 1999), Guevarra argued: “first, one who renounces his Philippine citizenship when he became an American citizen is no longer a natural-born citizen of the Philippines; second, even when he became a dual citizen under RA No. 9225, he does not automatically re-acquire his status as a natural-born citizen of the Philippines.”
The NFA Charter states that its administrator must be a natural-born Filipino.
Calayag’s appointment into the NFA, “absent the vetting process required under the Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCC) Reform Law 1,” according to Guevarra, also made him chairman of the Food Terminals Inc. and director of the Philippine Fisheries Development Corp.
“This is precisely the kind of mindset that breeds corruption in the DA. When, with impunity, its officials think that they are above the law and can circumvent around it at will,” said Guevarra who first exposed the alleged P457- million overpricing in the DA and NFA’s government-to-government rice importation transaction in April. The said transaction is currently under investigation by both the Senate and House of Representatives.
This week, congressional representatives, COOP NATCCO partylist Rep. Anthony Bravo and Laguna 3rd district Rep. Sol Aragones appealed for “wiser government spending” in the agriculture sector, while Agri-Agra Reporma Para sa Magsasakang Pilipinas (AGRI) partylist Rep. Delph Gan Lee filed House Bill (HB) No. 2936 seeking to end the “NFA’s monopoly on rice importation” as it has supposedly “adversely contributed to the price of the staple grain.”
Rice prices in September hit all-time highs even as the NFA invested heavily in government-led importations, spending US$94.5 million or more than P4 billion to import 205,700 MT of rice from Vietnam in April of 2013, and some P1.7 billion in importation duties and taxes.

Aside from Calayag, farmers’ group Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) earlier named the following as members of Alcala’s “Quezon mafia”: DA Undersecretary for Administration and Finance Antonio Fleta; Arnulfo Mañalac who served as Alcala’s administrator for the Sariaya Bagsakan Center in 2007; DA Assistant Secretary Ed de Luna; Philippine Coconut Authority Administrator and Alcala legal consultant Euclides G. Forbes; Claro Maranan of the National Irrigation Administration; Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Director Asis Perez; Bureau of Plant Industry Director Lito Baron; Philippine Fishing Development Authority Director Rodrigo Jimenez and Agri Technical Insititute director Nicomedes Eleazar.
Fleta, along with DA assistant secretaries Ophelia Agawin and Salvador Salacup, all Alcala appointees, were also implicated in the Napoles pork barrel fund controversy.

The P10-billion question

By Manila Standard Today | Posted 4 hours ago | 181 views

ADMINISTRATION officials cannot simply wave away serious doubts about its plan to give away up to P10 billion in public funds to a private foundation in the United States to establish two research institutes in California.
Already, two officials of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) have protested the Philippine-California Advanced Research Institute (PCARI) project, which will set up and manage institutes in the University of California Berkley and UC San Francisco focusing on health care and information technology.
CHED Commissioner Nona Ricafort, who had quit, and Director Carmina Alonzo raised some serious questions that neither the commission chairman Patricia Licuanan nor Budget Secretary Florencio Abad have adequately addressed. Nor have the Palace minions who haunt the social networks managed to defend the program against the whiff of irregularity.
Here, if they wish to address them point by point, are the questions that must be answered:
1) What is the legal basis for the P10-billion allocation?
2) Is there a binding contract with any of the US-based universities? If so, what are the terms of those contracts?
3) Why is there no counterpart funding for the project?
4) Why was the project farmed out to a private foundation without the benefit of a public bidding?
5) Is it true that the Philippine government will not own any patents from the inventions and discoveries made by the US-based research teams?
6) Why is the CHED the lead agency when the Department of Science and Technology would be more appropriate?
7) Why should research on tropical illnesses be conducted in the United States, where many of these diseases do not even exist, and where the expertise to deal with them would be even more difficult to find?
8) If the project is as “beautiful” as Abad says it is, why are details about it so nebulous?
The answers to these questions will have serious implications on the legality and propriety of the PCARI project, and the administration must answer each one to the satisfaction of a skeptical public that has seen the folly of entrusting public funds to non-government organizations. Shooting the messenger will not work.
But there is one more, P10 billion question, and it goes like this: Is it correct for this government to pump P10 billion into US-based institutes while cutting back on funding for local state universities and colleges?
Last month, 20 lawmakers protested impending budget cuts worth P3.3 billion for 79 out of 110 state universities and colleges in the proposed 2014 budget.
The same Budget Department that is so eager to give away P10 billion to a US-based private foundation actually slashed the 2014 budget of the University of the Philippines to P8.1 billion, which is even lower than this year’s budget of P9.5 billion. Now that’s just not right.
