double faced

Presidential duplicity

By Manila Standard Today | Aug. 14, 2014 at 12:01am

 Once upon a time, President Benigno Aquino III gave us the sense that he despised his job so much that he could not wait his term to be over.
But he had the legacy of his parents to live up to, and as he said in his most recent State of the Nation Address just less than a month ago, he felt he had no choice but to take this path that seems to have been carved out for him.
In the past four years, the yellow ribbon-sporting President has made his mark by saying one thing and then doing another.
For instance, he said he would tread the straight path by going after the corrupt in government. In fact, he has only gone after his perceived political opponents —a Supreme Court Chief Justice who had the audacity to lead an adverse ruling on the Cojuangco family’s estate in Tarlac, and the President who had appointed him just before she stepped down.

 Everybody else is presumed guilty until proven otherwise— except his men and women who continue to enjoy his trust and who must be deemed innocent until proven guilty. There is, however, no means for proof to be established because they are never charged and prosecuted in the first place.
He also was adamant about attempts to amend the 1987 Constitution, crafted and ratified when his mother was President, even though proposals meant only to change the economic provisions and make the country more open and competitive.
But in an interview with News5’s legal analyst Mel Sta Maria, Mr. Aquino revealed on Wednesday that his position was not cast in stone after all. And no, he made no mention of greater foreign investments and competitiveness as factors that has changed his mind. Instead, he felt the powers of the Supreme Court were limitless and had to be clipped—the result, no doubt, of the Court’s surprise adverse and unanimous vote against his brainchild, the Disbursement Acceleration Program.
Mr. Aquino suggested that the Judiciary—one of the three supposedly Independent branches of government—has been using its power much too often.
Of course, a happy coincidence would be the possibility of running for a second term, as Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas suggested a week ago. At that time, many thought Roxas was plain silly, or plain desperate, but now it appears he has been in the loop in the Grand Plan, after all.
We now have it straight from the President’s mouth that his decision to go for a second term would all depend on what the people, his supposed bosses, want. The yarn is that the people have been enjoying the benefits of good governance and reforms he has instituted. They want him to carry on.
It’s a clamor he must heed, he hinted. But it is a clamor that we find difficult to imagine—what with his declining approval ratings and the increasing frustration with his arrogance, self-righteousness and duplicity.
With these pronouncements, President Aquino has marked the beginning of his downfall. Anybody who still believes he operates in good faith must now consider that the President’s feel-good talk is mostly hot air.

Palace 'expresses sorrow' for Taiwanese fisherman's death

Malacañang on Sunday expressed "regret" over the death of a 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman in a shooting incident off disputed waters last Thursday.

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said Manila Economic and Cultural Office representative Antonio Basilio already visited the family of the victim and "offered his apologies on behalf of the Philippine government."
"As the Philippine Coast Guard has stated, we express our heartfelt sorrow on the unfortunate situation that occurred during one of the anti-illegal fishing patrols conducted by a Philippine fishery law enforcement vessel (MCS 3001) within the maritime jurisdiction (waters off the Batanes group of islands) of the Philippines on the morning of May 9, which tragically resulted in the death of a fisherman from one of the fishing vessels reportedly poaching in the area," a Malacañang statement quoted her as saying.

A Taiwan news report said President Ma Ying-jeou convened a high-ranking meeting Saturday night, and demanded four things from the Philippines:

- a formal apology
- compensation for the losses
- getting to the bottom of the incident and punishing the perpetrators of the killing
- fisheries talks between the Philippines and Taiwan as soon as possible.

Taiwan warned it will suspend the importation of Philippine labor, recall its representative in Manila, and ask the Philippine envoy in Taiwan to return to his home country if there is no favorable response by Tuesday.

Valte said the investigation into the incident has started with the arrival of the commander of MCS 3001. She added the vessel's commander and his crew "have been relieved of their duties.”
“Moving forward, relevant agencies will look into ways to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future,” she said.

Ready for talks

Meanwhile, Taiwan on Sunday said it is ready to start fisheries talks with the Philippines.

Fisheries Agency Director-General James Sha said the negotiations can begin at any time, according to a report by Taiwan's Central News Agency.

Deputy Director-General Tsai Jih-yao added Taiwan had long been interested in negotiating a fisheries agreement with the Philippines but Manila had been reluctant.

Presently, both sides have set up a working group to deal with fishing disputes involving fishermen from both sides.

The CNA report said the group was formed under a memorandum of understanding on fisheries and agriculture cooperation signed by both sides in 2005. — BM/HS, GMA News

Lopez foundation rips off gov’t in La Mesa deal—audit

MWSS ends up with empty bag in agreement 
The supposed civic arm of the Lopez Group’s ABS-CBN Corp., ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. (AFI) had appropriated the La Mesa Ecopark operations as its own, denying the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) its share in a 2001 concession signed between both and the local government of Quezon City.
According to a 2011 report of the Commission on Audit (CoA), state auditors found deficiencies in both the memorandum of agreement (MoA) and memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed among the three for the operation of the ecopark which is also known as the La Mesa Resort Zone.
Under the MoA, a profit sharing of 40 percent of net income for MWSS, 30 percent for AFI and 30 percent for the Quezon City government was agreed on.
The CoA audit showed from 2004 to June 30, 2009, the La Mesa Ecopark operation earned P22 million in net income. “Based on the audited financial statements of the La Mesa Ecopark, the total income for the period 2005 to June 2009 was P20.8 million, hence the share of MWSS should be P8,3 million subject to income tax.
The CoA report, however, stated that the 40 percent share of MWSS on the net income after tax of the project “has not been remitted.”
The CoA also noted that AFI, which is headed by Gina Lopez, a member of the media business clan, had managed to obtain a greater share in the venture than either the MWSS or the QC government, since AFI deducts 15 percent from the gross revenue of the ecopark operations as management fee.
“In managing and operating the La Mesa Ecopark, AFI deducts 15 percent from the gross revenue thereof as management fees. However, no supporting document was presented to show approval by either the MWSS Board of Trustees or La Mesa Executive Board on the 15 percent management fee being charged by the AFI,” according to the CoA.
“Furthermore, with AFI charging another 15 percent management fee on gross revenue over and above the existing profit-sharing of 40 percent as MWSS share, 30 percent each for AFI and LGQC, it would now appear that AFI has a greater share in the revenues and income derived from the operations of the La Mesa Resort Zone,” according to the report.
In the ABS-CBN website, it was stated that “all income generated by La Mesa Ecopark is utilized for the continuous preservation and protection of La Mesa Watershed.”
CoA said a review of the MoU dated Nov. 23, 2001 and MoA (undated) executed by MWSS with AFI and the Local Government of Quezon City had several deficiencies.
It also cited conflicting provisions in the MoU and the MoA signed among the three relative to the Environmental Trust Fund (ETF).
“Section 1 of the MoA provides for the creation at La Mesa Resort Zone – Executive Committee (LMRZ-EC) composed of two representatives each from MWSS, AFI, and the QC government in which the committee shall take the stewardship of the Environmental Trust Fund (ETF) under the control of the MWSS board of trustees (BOT) and under the supervision of the La Mesa Executive Board (LMEB).
“However, under Section 1.a.v of Article IV of the MoU– Management and Operations Framework-the LMEB shall take stewardship and control of the ETF,” according to the report.
The CoA required the MWSS board to clearly designate the stewardship and control of the Environmental Trust Fund.
It added that section 1.2 of the MoA also provided that the LMRZ-EC will be tasked to approve and supervise the implementation of the La Mesa Resort Framework Plan and all programs and plans relative to the operation of the La Mesa Resort Zone. “However, no committee was formed since the inception of the contract,” according to the CoA.
The CoA recommended the creation of the LMRZ-EC that will formulate policies regarding the LMRZ aside from other functions and responsibilities stated in the MoA.
“Upon creation, members of the proposed body should convene regularly to address and assess the operations and concern of the LMRZ/La Mesa Ecopark,” it said.
The CoA also cited section 6 of the MoA that required all funds generated from the operation of the LMRZ should be deposited under a special account for the Environmental Trust Fund (ETF) to be opened in the name of MWSS, AFI and the Quezon City government “and any or all transactions or withdrawal involving the ETF shall be considered approved if signed and approved by at least two official representatives or signatories of either MWSS and AFI, or MWSS and LGQC.”
CoA said, however, documents showed that all accounts were opened in the name of AFI only and “transactions/withdrawals were made without the consent of MWSS.”
The CoA said that the parties involved in the agreement should comply with the provisions of section 6 of the MoA “to maintain sound internal controls by opening an account in the name of the three contracting parties.”
“All transactions shall be authorized with the consent of MWSS representative,” the CoA added.
It also cited violations of section 22 of the MoA that mentioned four requisites for the agreement to be effective which were that the MoA shall be signed by the parties; approved by proper authorities; and reviewed by the Office of the Government Corporate Council (OGCC) and ratified by the QC Sanggunian.
“Requisites 2 and 4 were not complied with. There was no MWSS resolution approving the MoA as per certification by the Board Secretariat of MWSS. Also, the contract was not ratified by the QC Sanggunian as confirmed by Mr. Francisco Mallillin to IAD Manager Bienvenido A. Sarmiento based on the report of Virgilio P. Matel, Officer-in-Charge of the Internal Audit Department during that time,” the CoA said.
The CoA said the MWSS should require the post facto approval and ratification of the MoA to enable the agreement to be fully effective.
“Otherwise, the MoA could be considered null and void,” it added.
The CoA also noted that the 40 percent share in the net income generated from La Mesa Ecopark operation (La Mesa Resort Zone) was not recorded in the books of the MWSS pursuant to section 11 of the MoA among the parties involved.
“Section 11 of the MoA requires that financial report shall be prepared and submitted by the AFI to the La Mesa Executive Board (LMEB) from its initial operation ending June 30, 2005 and the annual financial report thereafter and the income shall be distributed among the parties accordingly,” CoA added.
The AFI, however, failed to submit the annual financial report as required in the MiA.
“Finally, on Nov. 5, 2009, the Internal Audit Department (IAD) of MWSS received the audited Financial Statements of La Mesa Ecopark/Watershed Operation covering the period 2004 to June 30, 2009 or a period of five years,” it said.
The CoA noted that based on financial report, included in the direct expenses was the 15 percent management fee charged by the AFI amounting to P20.5 million for five and a half years “whereas the 40 percent  share of MWSS on the net income after tax has not been remitted as of today.”
The CoA tasked the MWSS to require the AFI to submit the annual financial report and remit the corresponding share of income to the MWSS.
“The books of account of the La Mesa Ecopark should be made available to the duly authorized representative of MWSS as required under Section 12 of the MoA,” it added.
