WARNING!

BABALA - WARNING

Do not be taken in by the recent announcement of Malacanang that “GOVERNMENT BONUSES to state employees will be released early before Christmas. They just want “US” employees to SUBSIDIZE the incompetent relief efforts made by the AQUINO GOVERNMENT against the almost nationwide destruction made by Typhoon Yolanda to many regions of this country.

Sa madaling salita, they want us to pay for the relief efforts thru our “goodness and kindness” to our neighbors and relatives na sinalanta ng Yolanda, creating an excuse for them to say na ginawa na nila ang lahat. Ayaw nilang gamitin ang perang ibinayad natin para sa buwis at para hindi mabawasan ang perang gagamitin nila sa campaign kitty ni Mar Roxas sa 2016.

Ginigisa tayo ni Florencio Abad at Pnoy Aquino sa sarili nating mantika.

The bonuses of state employees are supposedly used to augment their personal disposable income, and must not be in any way, directed by this government towards the relief efforts. 

Choice na lang po natin if we give or donate to the refugees of Tacloban.

GAMITIN MUNA NILA ANG PERANG IBINAYAD NATIN SA TAXES BEFORE ASKING FOR MORE. THERE IS STILL TRILLIONS OF PESOS UNACCOUNTED FOR BY THIS GOVERNMENT.

HUWAG PO TAYO MAGPADALA SA KANILANG MAKUNWARING SISTEMA.

THE STATE BONUSES RELEASED TO STATE EMPLOYEES MUST REMAIN PERSONAL MONEY OF STATE EMPLOYEES.

LET AQUINO AND ABAD USE THE TAXES THAT WE PAY FOR THE RELIEF OF PEOPLE IN THE TYPHOON – STRICKEN AREAS IN THE VISAYAS.

HUWAG NATING PAYAGAN NA GAGUHIN LAMANG TAYO NINA ABAD AT AQUINO.

Workers protest PNoy’s new labor laws

BAGUIO CITY — Anakpawis Cordillera Regional Coordinator Micheal Cabangon said that the signing of President Benigno Aquino III of two new labor laws will not benefit the Filipino workers and their families at all.
On March 22, the president signed into law the Act Strengthening Tripartism. The law declared tripartism in labor relations as a state policy where employers and workers will be part of policy-making bodies of the government. The said law mandates the establishment of a National tripartite Industrial Peace Council (NTIPC). The body will be headed by the secretary of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
Cabangon said such NTIPC will only serve as a venue to facilitate the collaboration among big businessmen, pro-management labor unions and groups and the government setting aside the true plight of the workers in the country. He said worker’s experiences in the past are enough to define how the workers are being waylaid when it comes to policy-making decisions and how the government favors the big businesses over the lowly workers such on the demand of wage increase.
In a statement of Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) national office, the labor center condemned the president for signing the two new labor laws.
KMU added that Filipino workers do not welcome Aquino’s “Trojan Horse” this coming Labor Day 2013.
According to KMU, the compulsory arbitration being mandated by the creation of NTIPC will hinder the worker’s right to strike. The group said it will add up to the already numerous requirements for holding strikes against unfair labor practices and abusive employers.
KMU national Chairperson Elmer Labog said the government tries to package said laws as pro-labor but they actually signal the intensification of violations of worker’s democratic rights.“These laws show that Aquino continues to serve big capitalists by offering cheap and repressed labor. He is trying to tighten control over workers in order to ensure big capitalists’ profits amidst crisis conditions,” Labog added. He said that the government is making existing labor laws worse for the country’s workers.
According to Labog, they have seen tripartism and compulsary arbitration in action and they are not pleased with their results. He said tripartism has only resulted in the crafting of more and worse anti-labor policies while compulsary arbitration has been used to delay workers’ strike so that big businessmen can act to lessen the impact of the workers’ protests.
KMU stated that the laws compliment the government’s refusal to hike wages by a significant amount, implementation of wage cut and wage freeze through the Two-Tiered Wage System, and legalization of contractual employment through the Labor Department’s Order No. 18-A Series of 2011. The labor center added that the new laws jibe with the Labor Secretary’s power to assume jurisdiction over labor disputes, legalized by Republic Act 6715 or the Herrera Law, an amendment to the country’s Labor Code.
Last April 12, KMU led a workers protest action at Mendiola in Manila to express their condemnation on the signing of the two new labor laws.

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.

NAKASUHAN SA PAGIGING ABUSADO

Panibagong kaso na naman laban kay BI Comm. Ricardo David Dayunyor

MUKHANG kinakabayo na ng malas si Bureau of Immigration (BI) Comm. Ricardo David Dayunyor.
Sinampahan na naman siya ng second graft complaint in connection with the alleged anomalies in a P50-million biometric system project na ginagamit ng BI ngayon.
Comm. Ric “El Bisikleta” David was charged before the Office of the Ombudsman dahil sa paglabag sa Republic Act 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act), RA 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees), RA 9184 (Government Procurement Reform Act) and Executive Order 292 (Administrative Code) for pursuing a project that is allegedly disadvantageous to the government.
Pakengsyet!!!
Ang dami nang kaso ah. Nakatutulog pa kaya siya n’yan nang mahimbing!?
Ang grupong Anti-Trapo Movement of the Philippines Inc., represented by founding chairperson Leon Peralta ang nagsampa ng kaso laban kay Comm. “El Bisikleta” David.
Also named in the complaint were David’s Head Executive Assistant, Grace Lara; Dino Vizconde, Acting Chief of BI’s Information and Communications Technology Division; and members of the bids and awards committee.
Ayon kay Peralta ang cost ng project na P50 million para sa biometrics type of daily time record ay masyadong malaki at pagwawaldas lang ng government money dahil mas kailangan ng BI ng mas modernong border control and management system na maikokompara sa Automated Fingerprint Identification System, acquired by the National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police for nearly P1 billion.
Peralta’s complaint is the second graft case filed against David within two months.
Sabi ng advocacy group na PRO-PIA (Philippine Immigration Advocates), composed mainly of BI employees and some private entities, na ang project ay apurahang ini-offer WITHOUT a thorough technical study and evaluation.
Aaah, siyempre may kumita sa project na ito.
Mahal na Pangulo, ‘Yan po ang “daang matuwid,” sa BI, pero wala naman direksiyon!

DANGER AHEAD

BIGGER TROUBLE BEHIND THE MINDANAO POWER CRISIS

Don’t take the Mindanao power shortage and the possibility of election fraud or failure lightly. There’s something much more SCARY about it.

If it can happen to Mindanao, IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE else in the country, where the chances of wining of senatorial candidates of PNoy are as WEAK, or WEAKER, as the odds against them in Mindanao.

Making the issue more SUSPICIOUS is PNoy himself first declared that there will be no power problem in Mindanao come the polls.

And the next day, in total contradiction of PNoy, the Department of Energy (DoE) can categorically say this early that IT CANNOT guarantee a brownout-free election Mindanao.

Question: Whose LYING between PNoy and the DoE? If nobody is, what made PNoy issue an apparently BASELESS DECLARATION on an issue as sensitive as the Mindanao power crisis?

Believe me, Pnoy and his boys won’t admit to INCOMPETENCE/

But more importantly, if the DoE can give a grim forecast this early on the Mindanao power crisis, what will stop I from giving similar forecasts for other areas in the coming days?

The power shortage in Mindanao has been a problem since PNoy assumed office, yes. And no similar crisis has been reported, yet, in other areas.

But keep in mind, guys, that the DoE, or even Napocor, can come up with a thousand and one reasons for a sudden loss of electrical power come Election Day -- sudden breakdown of a major component in a power plant, sabotage of transmission lines, name it.  

And anybody correct me if I’m wrong, there have been NO REPORTS OF PREEMPTIVE MEASURES, like systems checks or maintenance operations, among government power plants UP TO NOW, including Metro Manila.

Earlier reports said water is being stockpiled in Mindanao hydro power dams.

Question: What about the turbines and other machines in the dams? Are these being checked or repaired already if necessary? If no, WHY NOT?

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE on Election Day, guys.

Time for us to start RESERVING as many CANDLES and MATCHES,. FLASHLIGHTS,, mobile phone batteries and any other possible source of light, to help ensure the sanctity of the ballot. 30
