WORM’S EYEVIEW: Why discourage assembly or curtail autonomy?

By Manny Valdehuesa on March 24 2014 12:13 am

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (MindaNews/23 March) — There will be “synchronized” Barangay Assembly meetings nationwide on Saturday, March 29.

It’s unclear how synchronized assemblies promote autonomy or local governance, but it is routine practice now although it has no palpable effect on governing efficiency or proficiency.

In any case, consider these thoughts as you prepare for this week’s assembly.

If you limit the way people exercise discretion, a right, or an entitlement, you dampen creativity
or initiative, encourage laziness or dependency, and discourage autonomy or resourcefulness.

This is what the President unwittingly did when he issued Proclamation No. 260 in September 2011. Through it he decreed that barangays assemble only twice yearly — once on the last Saturday of March and again on the second Sunday of October.

The proclamation attracted little or no attention; not even from Congress. No pork or perks or DAP, I guess. But it was a radical move. It ran counter to Sec. 397 of Republic Act 7160 (the Local Government Code) which states: “The Barangay Assembly shall meet at least twice a year….” which certainly means it may meet more than two times or as often as it wishes.

P-Noy amended the law and no one in Congress gave a hoot!

In his proclamation the phrase “AT LEAST” somehow transmogrified to mean “AT MOST”—which of course was wrong. Compounding the wrong, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) directed all the 42,000+ barangays of the nation to comply with it year after year. So it subsists to this day and no one seems concerned.

Limiting People Power

What happens now to the right of citizens to convene their Barangay Assembly—which, although admittedly still dysfunctional, is their parliament and legislative governing body?

Composed as it is of all voting residents, this Assembly has superior authority over all officials and units of the barangay government. After all, it’s literally a CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY! And it has right to convene at any time, as many times as it wishes. But the President says otherwise.

Through Proclamation No. 260 he drastically limits the community’s capability to meet and address local governance issues. Too bad for autonomy and the principle of subsidiarity.

Perhaps it doesn’t occur to the President, or no one tells him, that this Assembly is our local parliament, that it has power to straighten out policy or programs through initiative, as well as power to discipline any official through recall. Powerful!

It also doesn’t seem to strike the President that delimiting or reducing the frequency of barangay deliberations violates the need for free and open exchange of ideas at the grassroots. Does he know that this also constricts the democratic space and strengthens the hand of trapo oligarchs who seek to monopolize or manipulate local governance.

Awaken, Not Deaden, Citizen Initiative!

Someone should tell him that in issuing the Proclamation, he was in violation thrice over: 1) he unilaterally changed the law (Sec. 397 of R.A. 71600) without benefit of congressional action or concurrence; 2) he curtailed the right of citizens to exercise their sovereign right to assemble and engage in deliberative conversations as often as they wish; and 3) he hinders the formation of the popular will on how the local government should proceed with its business (usually expressed in resolutions or declarations after copious debate, discussion, or exchange).

All this was brought home to me during the aftermath of Typhoon Sendong in Cagayan de Oro over three years ago.

Because more than one-third of the city’s barangays were badly punished by Sendong, I thought that it would help the victims greatly if the survivors throughout the city could assemble and regroup. They could then take stock of the damage, the dead, and the missing. But as it happened, they were loath to assemble because they were told that they had already done so two months earlier (in October).

When the DILG Secretary visited the city, our movement suggested that he authorize the Barangay Assemblies to convene so the affected ones could do stock-taking and plan their recovery while the less affected ones could discuss how to marshal their resources to help victims.

To my consternation, the request was denied on the spot. They had already convened twice before Sendong, he said. I explained in vain that that was before and we were now in an emergency, that in any case the law does not limit the number of times a Barangay Assembly can meet, and that the bottom line should be to let the barangaynons decide because it’s their Assembly after all.

All I got for an answer was a look that said, “Mas marunong ka pa sa akin!” as he turned to leave. Beside him at the time was DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman who could only shrug and flash her signature smile.

In any case, it struck me that the very agency charged with empowering people by promoting the spirit of autonomy or self-governance was preventing the exercise of initiative in victimized communities. I was clearly one of the affected people, and so was the Gising Barangay Movement, but we were ignored! It made me wonder if the attitude reflected the President’s, because it certainly didn’t lift my enthusiasm or that of the people around me.

RED FLAGS FOR THE 2015 ASEAN INTEGRATION!

 RP should industrialize like Sokor — expert

President Aquino’s boast in South Korea that the Philippines will soon follow in the footsteps of the prosperous Asian neighbor remains long way off and industrialization is needed for the Philippines to realize the goal of becoming a new tiger economy, economist and University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) professor Bernie Villegas said.

Filipinos have to change their mindset about blue collar jobs as skilled workers will bring industrialization to the country, he said.
Villegas noted that skilled workers are the backbone of the manufacturing industry which will support inclusive growth in the country.

However, he said Filipinos should have a “paradigm shift” and look at blue collar jobs as critical contributor of economic growth as these jobs were often demeaned in the country.
Villegas cited that this culture has started during childhood since parents instill in children that the best jobs are those of doctor, engineer, lawyer and business managers.
Understanding the worth of skilled workers is also limited, according to Villegas.

“Few have realized that they can make more money out of being a plumber than being a lawyer (for some instances),” he said.

Further, Villegas mentioned that the country should now take advantage of the K+12 program and devote the last two years of the new education system into skills training.

“Convert this last two years in skills training program because the knowledge of these graduates will drive industrialization,” he noted.
The government shall also provide support and assure that the K+12 program will properly work, he added.
Aside from the skills training program, reviving manufacturing within rural areas will be crucial for industrialization.
In order to achieve this, Villegas said that the country will get these investors to develop within these zones, as much as possible away from Metro Manila.
And also, getting more “technical people” who are now working abroad will be very helpful for industrialization.
However, he said that the government should have a competitive offer to these offshore workers in order for them to come back and work in the Philippines.
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), which is the largest business organization in the country, expects the economy to recover from the effects of recent political scandals and natural disasters.
PCCI president Miguel Varela said the economy will still be able to maintain its momentum as it already gained interests from other countries.
Varela noted that even with the past natural calamities such as the killer earthquake in Central Visayas and typhoons which ravaged some regions, foreign investors are keen to expand businesses in the country.
“(The) Philippines received so much interest (from other countries) based on business missions we participated (in),” he said.
The business group leader added that investors prioritized the strengths and potential of the Philippine economy rather than circumstances which can be resolved.
PCCI mentioned said the emergence of political issues nowadays including the controversial pork barrel system is actually a mark that the government is in the “cleansing stage” within its bureaus, addressing corruption in the country.
”This will serve as momentum of transformation despite issues on politics, disasters and territorial issues, among others,” said Varela.
“At the end of the day it’s business as usual for the Philippine economy,” the PCCI president concluded.
In his arrival message at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 in Pasay City on Friday evening, Aquino said he went home from South Korea with strong determination to achieve progress similar to South Korea’s gains.
The President likewise asked the support of every Filipino to join the collective effort to transform the country into a more progressive nation.
Also in his message, the President said he got the support of President Park Geun-Hye for the country’s quest for stability in its disputed territory.
There was fruitful discussion on the issues of defense, disaster response, trade, maritime dispute and sports, the President said.
President Park committed South Korea’s assistance to Zamboanga City, which was devastated by recent violence as well as to the Visayas region affected by a strong earthquake this week.
South Korean companies like Hanjin have committed to intensify its investment in the country, he reported. The Korea Electric Power Corp., which contributes to around 10 percent of power generated in the country, wanted to widen its operations in the Philippines.
Lotte, company engaged in hotel business, wants to put up hotel projects in the Visayas region, the President said. It also eyes to invest in other parts of the country to build more hotels, theme park, office space, and others.
South Korea’s National Pension Service has an available billion that could be invested in the Philippines each year, according to the President.
The extraordinary developments in the Philippine economy have generated a lot of interest in South Korea to bring its money here and invest, Aquino said.
The President also said he had a successful interaction with Filipinos leaving or staying in South Korea while in his two-day state visit to that country.
