BOC says collection target surpassed in November

http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/590961/money/economy/boc-says-collection-target-surpassed-in-november

 

The Bureau of Customs exceeded its collection target of P36.450 billion by 12 percent in November, as revenue reached P40.239 billion.

The figure was 27 percent higher than the P29.061 billion collected a year earlier.

The bureau's Financial Services (BOC-FS) cited the positive trust rating of Customs Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon, cooperation of stakeholders, transparency in transactions, and efforts of traders in helping the BOC breach its revenue goal.

“In our outlook assessment report, the current collection record has exhibited a better leadership performance in the past five months covering July to November,” the BOC-FS said.

Out of the 17 BOC ports, the Manila International Container Port overshot by P1 billion its P10.367 billion target by collecting P11.362 billion.

"And I want every Filipino holding a reseta of a doctor that could not find the money to buy the medicines, sabi ko, 'Ibigay ninyo ‘yang two billion na ‘yan this Christmas'," he said.

"So kayong Pilipinas, nakikinig sa akin ngayon. May mga reseta kayo, go to the DSSD [Department of Social Services and Development, now Department of Social Welfare and Development] or hanapin mo ang inyong city health or the hospital itself and we will buy the medicines for you," Duterte added.

Sana ibigay na lang ang PhP 2B sa PGH para makapag-expand at makapag-upgrade sila at makatulong sa mas maraming pasyente.

 

UP-PGH is one of the most efficient hospitals in the country that benefits the poor. Give them the money to expand and upgrade.

 

For me, those "free medicine" dole-outs are not effective in helping the poor and even serve as the root of graft and corruption.

MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte said he fired 92 employees of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and Land Transportation Office (LTO) to crack down on corruption in these agencies.

"I just fired 92 of the mga LTFRB pati 'yung LTO – ubos (I just fired 92 of those from the LTFRB and also the LTO – finished)," said Duterte on Monday, December 12, during the Ten Outstanding Filipinos (TOFIL) awarding ceremony held at the Palace.

In another part of his speech, Duterte said he had "told them to resign."

The President reiterated to TOFIL awardees and attendees his promise to stop corruption in government.

"If I allow your practices to continue, nothing will come out of my promise about graft and corruption. Pati ako idadamay mo ako sa kalokohan mo diyan (You will even involve me in your nonsense)," said Duterte.

The President previously identified the LTFRB and LTO as among the most corruption-ridden agencies in government.

He also repeated his requirement to all government departments that they process permits and other documents being requested by the private sector in no more than a month.

"My orders now, one month for every department and the local governments, for business permit, electrical connections, even the fireman, I call your attention," said Duterte in a mix of English and Filipino. – Rappler.com

Over 10,000 casual workers in Central Luzon regularized

http://news.mb.com.ph/2016/12/21/over-10000-casual-workers-in-central-luzon-regularized/

 

Over 10,000 workers have been regularized in Central Luzon under the administration of President Duterte, records from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) showed.

DOLE confirmed that 10,212 contractual workers were regularized by 92 complying establishments.

Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III earlier announced that his office is bent on reducing contractualization and labor-only contracting (LOC).

Meanwhile, the DOLE regional office wants 235 firms all over the region to undergo consultation and assessment to determine the existence of contractualization, end of conjtract or “endo” and LOC practices.

Various industries operating inside and outside of the region’s free port and economic zones were covered under the DOLE’s region-wide consultations and assessments.

Initially, at least around 2,500 workers voluntarily regularized by 20 firms after the regional/field offices held 22 consultations attended by 1,444 company representatives from 648 establishments/principals/contractors region wide, according to DOLE.

Of the 10,212 regularized workers, DOLE said that 3,939 of them were voluntarily regularized by 54 firms following an assessment visit by the LLCOs at plant-level.

The remaining 6,580 workers, on the other hand, were voluntarily regularized through conferences at the Technical Support and Services Division for Labor Relations and Labor Standards of the regional office.

“We are hoping that other establishments, which have yet to be consulted and assessed, will also realize the benefits of regularizing the their workers, necessary in their day to day operations, to be regularized as well,” Bello said

US ex-envoy plotting Duterte fall – source

http://www.manilatimes.net/us-ex-envoy-plotting-duterte-fall-source/303868/

 

The Philippines may be in for another rough ride in 2017.

Not only did former United States Ambassador Philip Goldberg leave the Philippines with a legacy of fractured relations between the two countries, he allegedly left behind a “blueprint to undermine Duterte,” a strategic recommendation ostensibly to the State Department for the ultimate removal of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte from office, according to a highly placed source. It is not clear, however, if the State Department in Washington DC had given its imprimatur to the recommendation by its former ambassador to the Philippines.

A document received over the weekend by The Manila Times from that source said Goldberg had outlined a list of “strategies” to undermine President Duterte and called for his eventual ouster. The blueprint gave a timetable of one-and-a-half years.

Goldberg

Quoting Goldberg, it said the “political actors (the opposition) would need all the political weapons in their arsenal to replace the Duterte administration and replace it with something more to the opposition’s liking.” He noted, however, “that (deposing Duterte) would be a challenge for the opposition.”
