Students of state universities and colleges (SUCs) led by the University of the Philippines (UP) on Friday walked out of their classes and conducted protest actions in Luzon and the Visayas against cuts in subsidy.
“UP is a state university and cutting its allocation can be considered abandonment. That is why we are staging this strike,” said Mark Simbajon, spokesperson of the League of Filipino Students (LFS) in Tacloban City.
In Baguio City, about 600 students and teachers of UP Baguio blocked the noon traffic for 10 minutes by lying in the middle of Session Road.
The protesters, representing almost 40 percent of the UP Baguio population, were led by three college deans and professors.
At the Don Chino Roces (formerly Mendiola) Bridge in Manila, more than 1,000 students staged what they called “a historic show of rage.”
The students were from UP Diliman, Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology, and Philippine Normal University.
They were joined by members of LFS, College Editors Guild of the Philippines; the party-list groups Anakpawis, Bayan Muna Alliance of Concerned Teachers and Gabriela; and the labor alliance Kilusang Mayo Uno.
“This day is the culmination of the weeklong … protest activities against the social services cutback. The P146-million cut on the budget for [SUCs] will lead to higher tuition rates and bloated miscellaneous fees, making education a privilege exclusive to those who can afford [it],” Vencer Crisostomo, spokesperson of Kilos na Laban sa Budget Cuts, said in a statement.
Crisostomo warned that the congressmen passed the budget “like a thief in the night” when everyone was asleep, and that the Senate was sure to do the same.

Standstill in quality
As the students held their protest actions, the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) expressed support for calls to raise the budget for public tertiary education, saying the proposed 2012 allocation would serve only as a “survival budget.”
CHEd Executive Director Julito Vitriolo said SUCs would be unable to afford “ambitious projects” to raise their quality on the proposed P26.1-billion budget for some 110 schools.
“Because there is no dramatic increase in the subsidy, there is a standstill in quality… It is only enough for their subsistence,” Vitriolo told the Inquirer.
“The budget is just to maintain a certain level. It’s not even a development budget. It’s a survival budget. It’s not the kind of budget that could dramatically improve [the quality of education in SUCs],” he said.
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) had said the proposed budget for SUCs was already higher by 10.1 percent from the current year’s P23.7 billion.
Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said the Aquino administration had raised the aggregate budget for SUCs from P23.7 billion in 2011 to P26.1 billion in 2012.
Abad said this amount included P23.6 billion, inclusive of automatic appropriations itemized per SUC, a standby fund of more than P2 billion under the Miscellaneous and Personnel Benefit Funds for unfilled positions in SUCs, and an additional P500 million under the CHEd for SUC development.
The P26.1-billion proposal is still facing deliberations in Congress.

Barely half the need
But Rep. Raymond Palatino of the party-list group Kabataan said the proposal was at P21.8 billion, or barely half of what SUCs actually required for effective operations in 2012.
The National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP) said roughly 50 SUCs would suffer cuts of up to P569.8 million under the 2012 budget, per its estimates.
For instance, NUSP said, Malacañang’s proposed P5.54-billion budget for UP in 2012, already higher than this year’s P1.39 billion, was still far from the estimated P18 billion that the UP system would need to properly run its campuses nationwide.
As for PUP, its proposed P737-million budget is less than half the P2 billion it would need to educate some 65,000 students across the country, NUSP said.
Estimating that SUCs should receive a total of P45.8 billion in 2012, Palatino filed this week a petition at the House of Representatives’ committee on appropriations seeking a P24-billion raise in the tertiary education budget.
Budget pie limited
Cuts in subsidy come amid increasing enrollment in public tertiary schools, a trend CHEd has observed in recent years as students move to state schools with the rising cost of tuition in private institutions.

“We support the call of members of Congress, the House of Representatives, lobbying for increase in the budget. But to get it, we’ll have to go through the bicameral committee,” CHEd’s Vitriolo said.

“The [budget] pie is limited to a certain size and more and more schools are sharing it… Enrollment is increasing but the size of the pie remains the same so the budget is diluted,” he said.
The London-based research and ratings firm Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) recently released its world university rankings, where no Philippine school made the top 300.
Only four schools—UP, Ateneo de Manila, De La Salle University and the University of Santo Tomas—barely made it to  the top 600 list. NO SUC save for UP made the list as QS noted the declining state spending on education.
Cause for alarm
“What’s a bit alarming is that, for instance, in the case of UP, they want to pursue projects to be able to compete in the world rankings [of top universities], but they cannot pursue ambitious projects with limited funds,” Vitriolo said.
He said the budget for SUCs was calculated based on the principle of “normative financing,” where spending priority was given to performing schools while cuts in the operating budget were made on underperforming schools.
“It’s performance-based. So it depends on your research output, enrollment, passing rate in licensure exams,” Vitriolo said.
He said plans were underway to rationalize the system of tertiary education, such as the “clustering and amalgamation” of SUCs in certain regions with a number of institutions offering the same courses.
He said schools in northern Luzon, the Cordillera Administrative Region and Northern Mindanao were already “warm to the idea” of amalgamation, which aims to more efficiently distribute and maximize limited state subsidy.
3 times higher
Prof. Celia Austria of UP Baguio’s College of Science said the deans were backing the protest action owing to a statement earlier made by UP president Alfredo Pascual that while the cuts in the proposed 2012 UP budget appeared deep on paper, what the DBM had removed from the allocation was three times higher.
Austria said UP Baguio was able to squeeze funds from savings when contractors were hired for unfilled positions. “Contractors are paid less, so what is saved from the salary allotted for their positions is realigned to pay for operational costs. But the DBM under Budget Secretary Abad does not even allow this practice,” she said.
At UP Los Baños in Laguna province, around 500 students, teachers and university employees joined the protest rally, according to Ma. Cristina Madeja, chair of the student group Sakbayan.
Humanities instructor Laurence Castillo, 21, said he took part in the rally.
“Some teachers dismissed their classes so the students could join the protest,” Castillo said. “We in the academic union support the call for a higher state subsidy for education. [Budget cuts] may mean lower benefits for us but the students suffer more because these may mean higher tuition for them.”
The UPLB students held a program while around 100 of them joined the mass “planking” in front of the Oblation statue.
They also burned a makeshift coffin symbolizing “that Philippine education has died,” Madeja said.
Shifting the burden
In the Visayas, over 1,000 students of UP Tacloban also marched on the city streets to protest the cuts in the SUC budget.
Around 600 students of UP Visayas, Western Visayas State University (WVSU), and Western Visayas Colleges of Science and Technology marched from their campuses and converged at the Iloilo Capitol grounds for a rally.
They were backed by school administrators and employees.
“We decry [President] Aquino’s shifting of the burden of subsidizing education from the government to the students and their families,” said Krisma Nina Porquia, officer of the WVSU Student Council.
“By gradually reducing the budget for SUCs, his government compels school administrations to implement austerity measures and tuition and other fee increases,” she said.
But Abad said in a statement: “Clearly, the state subsidy for SUCs is higher next year. But more important than the increase, this proposed budget supports the development of SUCs as responsive to the government’s five priority areas for growth and employment.”
He said these priority areas were agriculture and fisheries, tourism, general infrastructure, semiconductors and electronics, and business process outsourcing.
Abad said Mr. Aquino had directed CHEd “to work together” with SUCs, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority and the labor department “to align their curricula to these priority areas.”
“There is an immense opportunity in these areas but they are lacking in qualified manpower,” he said.  With reports from Norman Bordadora and Jeannette I.

SSS employees decry P10m bonus to board

By Manila Standard Today | Posted 4 hours ago | 107 views

MalacaÑang struck down calls for pension increases and scrapped anniversary pay of Social Security System employees, but members of the governing board appointed by President Aquino received nearly P10 million in bonuses last year, officials and employees said on Thursday.
At least eight members of the Social Security Commission, the policy-making body of the SSS, received about P1 million each in what officials
and employees described as “unconscionable” abuse of corporate funds, which represent the contributions of workers and employers .
“This is anomalous,” said one official, who asked not to be identified for fear of repercussions from management. “It may not be illegal because it has the approval of Malacanang, but it is immoral and unethical.”
The bonus was authorized by the Governance Commission for government owned or controlled corporations under the Office of the President. Copies of its authorization letter, which has been circulating among SSS employees,  was leaked to the Manila Standard Today.
The amount of bonus was based on the total amount of per diems each commissioner recieved in 2012. The SSS pay each commissioner P40,000 for every session they attended.
Horacio Templo, who recently retired as executive vice president after working with SSS for 40 years, said the bonus to the commissioners could be considered “abuse of authority.”
“No bonus to employees, but they awarded themselves 100 percent of all their per diems for the year. It’s unprecedented in the history of SSS,” Templo said.
The list of commissioners who received bonuses were Juan B. Santos, Chairman, P1.17 million; Emilio S. De Quiros, Jr., SSS President and SSC vice chairman, P1.04 million; Diana V. Pardo-Aguilar, P1.33 million; Daniel L. Edralin, P1.12 million; Eliza R. Antonino, P968,000; Marianita O. Mendoza, P1.02 million; Ibarra A. Malonzo, P1.41 million; and Bienvenido E. Laguesma, P1.30 million.
Efforts to reach SSS President de Quiros failed after several attempts to call his office.
The authority from the Governance Commission to grant the performance-based incentive to the members of the SSC was signed by Cesar L. Villanueva, Chairman; Ma. Angela E. Ignacio, commissioner; and Rainier B. Butalid, commissioner.
It was Villanueva who had turned down the request of the Human Resource Management of the SSS requesting for P10,000 anniversary bonus to employees to mark the 56th anniversary of the SSS last September 1.
Villanueva said employees can received bonus only during milestone year, which is the “15th anniversary and every fifth year thereafter.”

BI Commissioner David approves dual citizenship of Syrian national

YET another scandal hit the Bureau of Immigration after Comm. Ricardo David approved the ‘dual citizenship’ of a Syrian national under questionable circumstances.
Documents provided to this reporter showed that David, in an undated order, granted Filipino citizenship to Nade Briek Fares, 24, under the provision of Section 3 of RA 9225, also known as the Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003, which provides that only natural-born Filipinos who lost their Philippine citizenship by reason of their naturalization as citizens of other countries are qualified to apply for ‘dual citizenship.’

A ‘briefer’ on Briek culled from the records of the Department of Foreign Affairs showed that Briek arrived in Manila last February 15 aboard Qatar Airways flight number QR646.

He is a holder of Syrian passport O07399530 and was born in Al Souida’a, Syria, to Fares and Hanadi Briek, “clearly showing he (suspect) is a natural-born citizen of Syria,” the sources who provided the documents said.

Almost a month after his arrival, last March 11, Briek applied for dual citizenship with the assistance from a lawyer from the BI “close to Comm. David,” the sources said and subsequently, the application was approved by him, they pointed out.

Reached for comment, BI intelligence chief and concurrent spokesperson, Atty. Antonette Bucasas-Mangrobang, said the action of David cannot be considered ‘official.’

She stressed that both the memorandum by David and the ‘certificate of dual citizenship’ of Briek have not yet been released. “Nasa amin pa po ‘yung mga dokumento; nagtataka nga po ako bakit may kopya na po ang media.”

She added that the Atty. Mark Bautista Antonio, chief of the BI’’s ‘Dual Citizenship Office’ has been ordered relieved by David.

Mangrobang further said that David also ordered a ‘manhunt’ for the immediate arrest of Briek and his subsequent deportation.

She said there is now an “ongoing investigation” by the bureau’s ‘Board of Discipline’ on the issue.

BULOK NA SISTEMA SA AIRPORT AT IMMIGRATION

ANG BALITA RAW NGAYON AY IPINAKOKOLEKTA NA NI ASSOCIATE COMMISSIONER DAVID NG OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION ANG MGA "OVERTIME FEES" NA NAGMUMULA SA MGA AIRLINES.

KUNG NATATANDAAN NINYO BARELY 3 MONTHS AGO NOONG AGOSTO AY IPINATIGIL NI TARANTADONG MAR ROXAS ANG PANGONGOLEKTA NG FEES SA MGA AIRLINES.
ITONG HAKBANG NA ITO AY BAWAL AT HINDI NAGING SANG-AYON SA MANDATE NG IMMIGRATION NA KUMOLEKTA NG FEES MULA SA MGA AIRLINE AGENCIES BECAUSE THIS IS PART OF THE IMMIGRATION LAW. THE IMMIGRATION LAW STIPULATES THAT THE BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION SHOULD REGULATE THE AIRLINE COMPANIES BY CHARGING THEM FEES AND FINES.

TAPOS EH PINATIGIL NAMAN NI ROXAS?!!!! PATI MGA IMMIGRATION PERSONNEL EH NAWALAN NG OVERTIME FEES COMING FROM THE AIRLINE COMPANIES OF WHICH THEY SERVICE.

ITONG MGA FEES NA ITO AY BASED ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL PREMISE THAT THE ENTRY OF ALIENS IN THE COUNTRY IS A PRIVILEGE AND NOT A RIGHT. AND THAT AIRLINE COMPANIES, BEING A PRIVATE-FRANCHISE-PRIVILEGE GRANTED BY THE GOVERNMENT, HAVE NO RIGHT TO STOP FULFILLING THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO THE BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION, MUCH LESS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIPPINES.

THEREFORE WHEN AIRLINE COMPANIES ARE NOT PAYING THE REQUIRED FEES AND FINES IMPOSED BY GOVERNMENTAL LAWS, THEY ARE IN BREACH OF THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION AND ARE COMMITTING TREASON BEFORE THIS COUNTRY!

ANO NA ANG GINAGAWA NI KAIBIGANG ABNOY SA MGA KAIBIGAN NIYANG AIRLINE NA ITO KATULAD NINA LUCIO TAN AT GATCHALIAN?

In fact from 50, 000 pesos administrative fine, nag-la-lobby raw ang PAL na gawing 500 pesos na lamang. DI BA GAGUHAN TO? Sabi  pa nga PAL'S ARREARS MAY EVEN REACH TO AROUND 140 MILLION PESOS!!1??

IF THEY WILL NOT ACT ON THE AIRLINE COMPANIES, THAT MEANS TREASON. BETRAYAL OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE REPUBLIC FOR COLLUDING WITH THE AIRLINES IN NOT COMPLYING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CUSTOMS, IMMIGRATION, QUARANTINE AND TRANSPORTATION LAWS.

WHEN MAR ROXAS ISSUED A DOTC MEMORANDUM ORDER SUSPENDING AIRLINE PAYMENTS, WHEN ASSOCIATE COMMISSIONER DAVID FAILED TO COLLECT AND IMPLEMENT THE IMMIGRATION REGULATION LAW OF IMPOSITION OF ADMINISTRATIVE FEES AND FINES AT SA WALANG AKSYON NI DOJ DELIMA SA ISSUE, THEY WERE IN DIRECT AND IN PALPABLE VIOLATION OF THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION.
