HERE we go again.
For quite a number of times, there have been proposals moving for the postponement of the barangay elections all over the country. Since the enactment of the 1991 Local Government Code, empowerment of barangays came back to life, with Republic Act 7160 setting the outline of our local officials’ hierarchy from the provincial level down the barangay.
The code has empowered barangays, which includes the power to raise revenues and to enter into income-generating activities. In short, barangays were given some corporate powers. With the empowerment of barangays in different aspects of governance, Punong Barangays (barangay chairmen, barangay captains) were made governors and mayors in their respective units considered as the basic form of a local government.
Barangay officials were given the sword and the purse in order to supposedly provide basic public services to communities. With the power and money (funds), many became interested in joining the race to becoming a local official every three years.
Since barangays have the highest number among the local government units, conducting an election in the barangay level is too costly, costing the government millions of pesos term after term of our barangay officials.
Another proposal brewing in Congress is the postponement of the barangay elections that is slated to be held on October of next year. One of the most popular reasons of proponent lawmakers is the lack of the required budget for the elections, despite the fact that the national government is allocating funds for the polls every election year.
No doubt, barangay elections are really costly not only for the candidates but also for the government since the latter has to shoulder a variety of election materials and the payment of election workers particularly public school teachers who will be utilized for the polls.
Election lawyer Romulo Macalintal has called it unconstitutional to postpone the barangay elections since it extends the term of office of our barangay officials while depriving others their right to run and hold public office. It merely lengthens the governance of the sitting incumbents without refreshing their mandate. The government may save a lot of public funds but this denies the right of the electorates to choose whom they believe would deliver best the basic services rendered by our barangay governments.
There are more or less 588,000 barangay officials in the land and this number would benefit from the postponement, should the proposal will be realized. Of course, those who would benefit from the postponement will owe allegiance to the proponent should the election be postponed.
I remember having heard during my younger years that barangay officials then were simply appointed by the mayor, thus sparing the government from spending too much for the elections. The appointed ones obeyed their appointing authorities, owing their public positions to the latter. Thus, there is discipline in the chain of command.
Many would agree if I say appointment is better than postponement if we decide to follow the old rules.
Today, if the voting public has elected righteous barangay officials, they would either be for the postponement of the barangay elections. If they have put to office irresponsible ones, they are for the elections. The incumbents for sure would opt for the postponement since they would be given additional period for their terms of office and they will be spared too from the rigors and expenses of campaigning even if it will just be in the barangay level.
I am quite sure that many will still try to attempt to postpone the elections especially those who are seeking national positions. Quid pro quo.

PORAC – Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU) officials made insinuations it will withdraw from the satellite campus agreement with town officials here if “internal disagreements” are not settled soonest.
Majority of village chiefs in this quarry-driven and sand-rich town urged Councilor Mike Tapang to unite with the administration of Mayor Condralito Dela Cruz in pushing for the establishment of a satellite school.
Tapang stressed three concerns to the Provincial Board (PB) like scholarships, priority of Poraqueños over others in enrolment and the transfer of properties to DHVTSU after five years, on top of a P3-million operational expense subsidy.
The PB ruled that the Porac Municipal Council’s wisdom on the agreement should be upheld and the requests of Tapang be heard.
Porac Association of Barangay Captains Maximo Bunque said they were ready to appeal the DVHTSU–Porac agreement and pursue the establishment of the school.
In the course of the talks, Vice Mayor Dexter David said the quest for the DHVTSU satellite campus may have been muddled between a school and a commercial center allegedly proposed by Tapang.
The vice mayor said that aside from his confidence DHVTSU could operate on itself after the three-year observatory period, the Municipal Government of Porac could sustain its needs much that funds from quarrying from the premier “sand capital” are on hand.
“In the Dela Cruz administration alone in 2011, our quarry revenues were at P29,613,240 with Capitol shares at P17,091,000. Compare that to 2010 quarry incomes of P22,526,370 and the provincial’s share of P15,826,000. Aren’t we capable of subsidizing a state university campus? Of course, it is better than running a community college because of complexities. DHVTSU is DHVTSU wherever you go and the P3-million subsidy can be stopped after favorable reviews in three years because we are certain DHVTSU is capable of operating in itself. By then, we could use the P3 million for other services and provide for more scholarships,” David said.
In a phone interview with Councilor Tapang, he reiterated that he is not against the establishment of the satellite campus. He just wanted to amend the agreement for the benefit of Poraqueños.
“I am with you. It’s a majority decision. All I wanted was to have my requests accommodated in the MOA. Fortunately, we met with DHVTSU regarding the three salient points I raised before the Provincial Board like the scholarships, turn-over of properties and priority enrollment of Poraqueños. They are now making the addendum,” he said.
Tapang also clarified that the proposal to put up a P250-million commercial center is not his proposal.

CLARK FREEPORT — Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia has relayed her plan to run for senator during the Mothers’ Day celebration at the SM City Clark on Sunday.
“This is my first time to announce my political plan outside of Cebu and it is here in Pampanga,” Garcia said.
Calling for the province’s support to her slate under the One Cebu party, Garcia said she will institute creative and effective programs and bring them to the national level.
Garcia said Cebu’s 2.5 million voting population and her nine-year experience as governor will be of great help in her bid.
“I hope One Cebu will take my bid, a bid not just to put a Cebuana in the Senate but for all,” she said.
She also cited some of her agenda on water; power; health; education; agriculture; business; tourism, culture; environment; peace and order; and others.
Garcia said she formed an alliance with Vice President Jejomar Binay’s United Nationalist Alliance, a coalition of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan, and former President Joseph Estrada and his Partido ng Masang Pilipino.
Angeles City Councilor Maricel Morales invited her to keynote the 5th Gawad sa Marangal at Ulirang Ina on Mothers’ Day at the SM City-Clark.
Morales honors and awards special mothers annually and this year she picked government employees as awardees saying “charity begins at home.”
Some 25 employees and department heads, including City Librarian Norma Razon, Social Welfare head Heidi Patio and Peso head Adelina Deocales, were awarded during the event.

APALIT – Archbishop Paciano Aniceto and Governor Lilia Pineda led on Monday thousands of devotees and well-wishers of the Sto. Cristo del Pardon during the first grand fluvial procession held at the Rio Grande de Pampanga commonly known as the Pampanga River.
Aniceto, welcomed by the Catholic faithful in Candaba, was joined by local leaders in the town as he formally opened the activity in a simple ceremony.
The fluvial parade started in Barangay Pasig in Candaba going to the towns of San Luis, San Simon all the way to Apalit.
Father Mark Manabat, one of the organizers, earlier claimed that the procession was part of the 60-year celebration of the Virgen Delos Remedios and Sto. Cristo del Pardon.
The Virgen Delos Remedios first came in Pampanga on May 1, 1952. This is the time when the image was brought to various towns in Pampanga.
The activity is also intended to create awareness among the residents about the importance of having a clean and balanced environment.
Another objective of the fluvial procession is to get the attention of the National Government for the urgent need to rehabilitate the Pampanga River in order to protect the people in the province.
Pineda, for her part, urged Kapampangans living adjacent to the Pampanga River to help improve the current river’s condition by not dumping domestic garbage into it.
She also asked them to continuously pray for their safety especially this coming rainy season.
Also present during the procession were Mayor Jerry Pelayo, Board Members Nestor ‘Bay’ Tolentino, Ricardo Yabut, Monina Laus, Fritzie David and Trina Dizon, among others.

MANILA, Philippines – Village officials of Barangay Bangkal in Makati City assured their constituents that contingency measures will be in place to address any possible effects of the Multi-Phase Extraction (MPE) system that will be used in the coming days to hasten the recovery of oil that may have contaminated groundwater due to an oil leak in the area.
Barangay Bangkal Councilman Richard Saquilayan said the First Philippine Industrial Corporation (FPIC) will start, in the next few days, the MPE system to extract around one million liters of fuel that remain trapped underground, that came from the company’s pipeline.
“We have contingency plans for all scenarios that we have pictured, including the worst-case scenarios. But we hope that we will not come to that because what we only want is for everyone and everything would go back to normal,” said Saquilayan, referring to the oil leak caused by FPIC’s pipeline two years ago.
The safety measures also intend to alleviate worries of the several villagers regarding the system of extraction.
A first time in country, the MPE, or dual-phase extraction, uses a high-vacuum system to remove both contaminated groundwater and soil vapor from the subsurface.
The MPE system is a vacuum-enhanced extraction to remediate pure product and petroleum hydrocarbons in the dissolved and vapor phases. Vapor will pass through the system.
The system was installed near the Magallanes flyover, a few meters away from the condominium.
Traffic in Barangay Bangkal, which was rerouted due to diggings brought by the oil leak problem in the area, would soon go back to normal, he added.

With the yearly flu shots, Reyes hopes to limit the students’ number of absences due to the contagious respiratory disease that usually affect their class attendance during the rainy season.
Reyes said that a once in a year free vaccination drive will be an appropriate step to help the children comply with their educational requirements on time, and ease the financial burden of the parents.
He added that taking the necessary precautions to combat the threats of the possible spread of the anticipated respiratory disorder among residents is everyone’s concern.
Reyes noted that the city government has the mandate to protect and promote the right to health of the people, including that of the school children.

In addition to the human flag formation, the Filipino youth participants also enjoyed playing traditional Philippine games like “patintero” and “habulan.”
The activity was made possible by the Sentro Pilipino Youth Ministry, under the Filipino Chaplaincy in Rome, in collaboration with the Philippine Embassies in Italy and the Vatican.
According to the organizers, the event was a prelude to the Philippine Independence Day celebrations on June 12.

As the Department of Education sounded out its “Brigada Eskwela” call for community involvement in schools to focus on sanitation and hygiene, Malacañang reminded families of the efficacy of cleanliness against dengue-carrying mosquitoes.

“Hindi lang pag tag-ulan nagiging delikado tayo sa dengue, kahit tag-init kailangan tuloy-tuloy ang pagprepara at siguraduhing di tayo, ang kapaligiran di pagbabahayan ng dengue carrying mosquitoes … Dapat tuloy (ang paghahanda) all year round,” deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said on government-run dzRB radio.

“Meron pa tayong tatlo at kalahating linggo para siguraduhing malinis ang ating paaralan para sa pagbalik ng estudyante sa iskwelahan,” Valte added.

“Our thrust in this year’s Brigada Eskwela is on school sanitation because it is also where personal hygiene is reinforced among our students which can, in turn, help develop their self-esteem,” Education Secretary Armin Luistro said in a DepEd statement issued over the weekend.

“This year’s Brigada is slated from May 21 to 26. The annual school maintenance program enjoins education stakeholders to contribute their time, effort and resources for the repair work. The goal is to ensure that the public schools are ready to receive students when school opens,” the DepEd said.

Valte assured that the Department of Health is coordinating with local health units of areas affected by dengue to prevent the spread of the disease.

Earlier reports indicated that the Zamboanga City government had declared a dengue outbreak as the number of dengue cases from January 1 up to the first week of May increased by 413, or more than 50 percent compared to the same period last year.

“Nakikipagtulungan ang DOH sa local health unit diyan para maapula ang pagkalat ng sinasabi nilang dengue outbreak,” Valte pointed out.

Bracing for dengue

“For 2012, it has been so far so good. From January 1 to March 24, 2012, a total of 15,536 dengue cases have been reported and this is even 30.10% lower compared to the same time period last year (22,227). But of course, we can never be complacent,” Health Secretary Enrique Ona said in a dengue summit last April 13.

He said that “with the onset of the rainy season, we are anticipating the increasing numbers of dengue cases.”

“If we do nothing, we will be again over our heads come July and August when our public hospitals are being filled to the brim with dengue patients and Dengue outbreaks are being reported left and right. We do not want that to happen this year,” Ona stressed.

He recalled that in 2010 the country had its worst outbreak of dengue in the country in 10 years.

“More than 173,000 cases were recorded exceeding the record high infection rates we had in 1998 when other countries in the Southeast Asian region also reported major dengue outbreaks,” the DOH chief noted.

“Around 126,000 dengue cases were reported from January to December 2011 which is 27% lower than the number of cases reported in 2010. Of course, we observed the usual peak during the months of July, August, and September which undoubtedly placed our dengue control efforts under the public microscope,” Ona said.

DISTURBING, if not surprising, is the report that Quezon City councilors Roderick Paulate and Francisco Calalay Jr. were ordered suspended by the Office of the Ombudsman for six months without pay for having some 60 ghost employees on the City Hall’s payroll.
Based on the Field Investigation Office’s (FIO) report, the persons holding job order contracts from the offices of Paulate and Calalay were fictitious, had no birth records in the National Statistics Office, were not registered voters and had not secured NBI clearances. Worse, they were reportedly not known in the barangays where they claim to live and their addresses turned out to be false.
Aside from the criminal complaints for graft and malversation of public funds filed against the two, administrative charges for grave misconduct, serious dishonesty and falsification of official documents were also lodged against Paulate and Calalay, along with their liaison officers.
The same FIO report disclosed that Paulate maintained 30 ghost employees, while Calalay had 29, from January to November 2010, with Paulate releasing P1.12 million in salaries, while Calalay had disbursed P2.175 million. It was also reported that disbursement of the salaries was made possible through submission of bogus personal data sheets and payrolls.
This malpractice may be replicated in other cities in Metro Manila as well as in other local government units in the country and this may be possible with the collusion of, say, auditors and treasurers or paymasters.
I know personally the existence of ghost employees in one LGU and at one time, the mayor upbraided the person responsible and sternly admonished her but I wonder why she is still around heading, of all departments, one that has to do with personnel.
Ghost employees, ghost purchases, ghost biddings and ghost infrastructure projects. All of these exist in some corrupt government offices and the crusading President should task his men to go after the grafters at the grassroot levels.
Along with ordinances banning motorcycles with loud, noisy and irritating sounds, local government units should implement anti-smoke belching laws or ordinances on drivers of vehicles which emit harmful fumes. This task should be done by elements of the
Land Transportation Office and, by extension, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, both agencies being tasked with overseeing emission tests on vehicles submitted for registration, particularly at the LTO. When nobody is looking from these two agencies, several smoke-belching vehicles have been seen plying the streets and causing damage to public health. While I laud the men of LTO who are zealous in apprehending colorum vehicles, they should also check on smoke belchers. By the way, what has happened to the monitoring of emission testing centers? Are they now in cahoots with colorum vehicles or plainly sleeping on the job?
While at it, the law or ordinance against smoking in public places and vehicles should also be strictly implemented and violators should be imposed the fines and imprisonment penalty, or both. Again, when no enforcer is looking or in plain sight, hardheaded drivers and individuals blatantly violate the anti-smoking law thinking that they are not being apprehended anyway. This ningas kugon mentality should be curtailed pronto.
This one should be looked into by the Angeles City Health Office and the Office of the Mayor of Angeles City. In my visit to my balae’s house last week in Barangay Margot, I noticed a vacant lot fronting my kumpadre’s house at Sampaguita Street main road which used to contain a barangay health center but which has been demolished, according to my balae, for some reasons may be only known to the barangay’s chief Noemi M. Ocampo and probably, to some kagawads. My balae, Nardo de Guzman, a teacher at nearby Tacondo Elementary School and a prominent resident of Barangay Margot, intimated to me that the lot on which the now defunct barangay health center used to stand is being acquired, if not acquired yet, by a prominent person resident of Margot and a brother of a likewise prominent contractor with an American-sounding surname.
My argument to pareng Nardo was: the welfare of the residents of Barangay Margot should be put way above those of private needs and interests, so the health center building should have been maintained and not altogether demolished in favor of one private individual. Can Mayor Edgardo “Edpam” Pamintuan look into this matter, please?

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.

Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security. This exposes corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to event organizers in Philippines.

This exclusive hotel in Angeles Philippines is a place of leisure that is. The resort has the perfect ambience for a romantic beach wedding and a garden style wedding reception, exactly the kind of wedding venue we have been looking for to get married in the Philippines. Angeles City is near Clark Philippines and just 90 minutes from Manila. Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga. Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.

Garden style wedding reception can take place within a few meters from the beach of this hotel in Clark Philippines so guests and observe the ceremony at the comfort of their seats on the table.

Clearwater is a highly recommended and most frequently visited private resort in Pampanga. This Clark hotel is a famous private resort outside Manila for corporate planning because of its exclusivity.

It is important to visitor that the family feels safe in a hotel in Angeles Philippines. That is a main reasons that we choose to stay in this hotel in Clark Pampanga outside of Manila Philippines. Many don’t like the hotels in Subic or some of the hotel in Angeles City Pampanga. This highly recommended hotel in Angeles city Clark Philippines does not make them comfortable and secure.
