DILG sees no adverse COA report on Ormoc

THE Department of Interior and Local Government has identified Ormoc as one of the few local government units (LGU) that will receive the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) in recognition of the LGU’s excellent performance in governance. Ormoc is the only city in Region 8 to receive the Seal.

This latest feat of the city government was posted on its website on Sept. 1 and is based on DILG’s assessment. The SGH is a mechanism comprising a set of criteria that recognizes LGUs’ good performance in internal housekeeping in the areas of planning, sound fiscal management, transparency and accountability, and valuing performance management.

Only LGUs that have been fully compliant of the requirements and standards are given the Seal to include compliance to the Anti-Red Tape Act and the DILG’s Full Disclosure Policy. Further, LGUs should have no adverse report from the Commission on Audit in 2010 which means they should have complied with all the government auditing requirements.

Other requirements include full disclosure or compliance with the directive to post in conspicuous places the 12 important documents on fund utilization, procurement and other financial transactions for public consumption. “These documents are not new. These are supposed to be done for transparency and accountability,” Local Government Operating Officer V Myles Colasito said.

Meanwhile, Leyte is the only province in Region 8 that will also receive the SGH. In the municipal level, the towns of Alang-alang, Burauen and Jaro in Leyte; Hinunangan, Southern Leyte; Naval, Biliran; Laoang, Northern Samar; and Guiuan, Eastern Samar will also receive the same Seal.

Kawayan was the first LGU in Region 8 to receive the Seal in January while Biliran and Almeria towns were given the same recognition during the DILG Tapatan Roadshow in July this year. The three municipalities are in Biliran province which has the most number of SGH town recipients in the region.

The LGUs that receive the Seal are eligible for a Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) project cost sharing scheme for projects within their comprehensive development plan. The national government will match the LGUs’ investment up to P7 million for provinces, P3 million for cities and P1 million for municipalities.

Projects eligible for the PCF subsidy are those aligned to the achievement of Millennium Development Goals such as school buildings, health centers and birthing facilities; or for Local Economic Development such as roads, bridges, tourism facilities, irrigation systems, post harvest facilities, cold storage facilities, ports and wharves, and other economic infrastructures; or for Adaptation to Climate Change and Disaster Preparedness projects such as flood control, reforestation, solid waste management facilities, storm drainage and related flood protection measures.

No less than President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino Jr. will give the awards to the chosen LGUs in Manila on October at the 20th anniversary of the Local Government Code.

Donayre confirms Ormoc was a target of a bank robbery

by Elvie Roman-Roa
ORMOC was supposed to have been the next target of a bank robbery, according to outgoing City Police Director SSupt. Nilo D. Donayre in a meeting with the Ormoc Bankers’ Club (OBC) on Sept. 9. The plan was foiled fortunately when police tightened security in Ormoc after they found the getaway vehicle used in the robbery of a cooperative in Calubian town.

Fatima Credit Cooperative in Calubian was robbed on Sept. 2 with the suspects carting off P765,840 worth of cash and items. Two days later, police found the getaway vehicle parked at a pension house in Ormoc. What happened next was a hyped search for the suspects which developed rumors of a hostage-taking incident.

The public alarm caused by the rumor and heightened security measures turned off the robbers from striking in Ormoc. SSupt. Donayre said crime incidence is expected to rise during the “ber” months or last four months of the year. He advised the banks to beef up their in-house security measures.

The OBC has 16 bank members all of which have CCTV and alarm systems in place. The club is headed by its president Ralph Yauna, manager of Philippine National Bank. SSupt. Donayre called for better coordination between the banks and the police, and a dry-run for synchronized response be held regularly.
Meanwhile, as part of the culmination of the 17th Crime Prevention Week, the Ormoc Police Office held a ceremony on Sept. 7 to thank its partner organizations. For the media community, Elvie Roman-Roa of the express and Ormoc Cable received a certificate of recognition.

Others who were recognized are Barangay Captains Janet Pulido-Almario and Norma Lord of Linao and Luna, respectively, and Judy Pidoy of the Justice Department who always witnesses police operations. Councilor Filomeno Maglasang was the guest speaker.

City Hall employee tests positive of drug use

A CITY government employee tested positive of illegal substance use during the random drug test conducted on Sept. 5 after the flag ceremony. Ten employees were randomly tested and only one of them turned out positive. Still, the result will be sent to the Department of Health (DOH) for confirmation.

If the DOH confirms the findings, the subject employee who is a casual plantilla, will be dismissed from service and his benefits like terminal leave and retirement will be forfeited based on civil service rules, City Administrator Dr. Dennis Capuyan explained.

Ormoc dads say no to legislated wage hikes

THE City Council passed a resolution requesting Congress to leave the determination of wage increases in the private sector to the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards. Sponsored by Councilor Filomeno Maglasang, the resolution was passed in view of a pending Bill in Congress that grants an across the board wage increase.

Maglasang is referring to HB No. 375 providing for a P125 daily wage increase across the board for private sector workers. While the resolution commends the Bill’s aim to give additional income to workers, it also pointed to an existing law which provides for a more democratic, expedient and equitable way to determine wage increases.

It made reference to the Regional Wage Boards whose function as provided for by Art. 122 of PD No. 442 or the Labor Code is “To determine and fix minimum wage rates applicable in their regions, provinces or industries therein and to issue the corresponding wage orders subject to the guidelines issued by the Commission.”

The resolution mentions that the public perception is that the Wage Boards have been discharging their functions credibly and effectively, and that the business sector favors that wage increases should be handled by the Boards rather than by legislation especially on the basis of “across the board.”

The councilors believe that one of the solid “factors in determining wage increases is the cost of living in a particular area, hence it is impractical and inequitable that the wage increase will be on the basis of across the board throughout the entire country as the cost of living varies.” by Felix Codilla III

No ‘botcha’ found yet in Ormoc

THE city government is ensuring that no botcha or meat from double-dead animals is sold in Ormoc. This was bared by Slaughterhouse Master II Cristeto F. Mandras who identified the City Veterinary and Health as the offices responsible for monitoring the entry of botcha.

Double-dead refers to livestock killed by accident or disease then butchered to be sold as fresh meat. Monitoring has been tightened with the onset of the holiday season when demand for meat products is at its peak wherein unscrupulous traders may take advantage.

To date, no botcha pork, chicken, carabao and cow have been sold at the public market, Mandras said. Botcha can easily be identified as either pale or discolored meat with foul smell which makes it harmful when eaten.

To assure what they buy is not “double dead,” Mandras advises the buying public to look for a meat inspection (MI) certificate from the meat shop. The MI certificate is issued to livestock that are slaughtered at the city abattoir and serves as a seal of good product. He assures that all meat sold at the public market and private meat shops are slaughtered at the city abattoir. by Jun Colo

DSWD delists 8,000 4Ps recipients in Leyte

OVER P128 million have been disbursed to beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Leyte last year and another P7 million have been released for January-April 2011. This was the status which the Leyte 4Ps team reported to Regional Director Letecia C. Diokno of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Leyte tallied 66,692 registered beneficiaries for the program. The DSWD reports over 8,000 beneficiaries who have been delisted from about 168,000 families identified under the program. The delisting of 8,000 families covered 2009, the year the program was implemented up to August this year.

Foremost reason for the delisting is that the beneficiaries do not anymore have children below 14 years old while others were stricken off the list for non-compliance of the requirements imposed by the program. Gov. Carlos Jericho L. Petilla has earlier urged the DSWD to revalidate its list of recipients after receiving complaints that some of the beneficiaries have steady source of income with regular jobs while others are even serving as barangay officials.

The conditions imposed on recipients include sending the children to school or visiting health centers. Qualified beneficiaries receive P500 a month or P6,000 a year for health and nutrition expenses, and P300 a month for 10 months or P3,000 for educational expenses.

Also in attendance during the meeting are Department of Education District Supervisor Sarah Apurillo and Philippine National Police Provincial Commander SSupt Pio Manito. (PMRC)

No adverse COA findings

THE series of bad news on Ormoc’s decreased Internal Revenue Allotment and reduced windfall from EDC’s realty tax has been disheartening to Mayor Eric “Beboy” Codilla who is so passionate to bring development to his beloved city. But there also has been some welcome news lately that could boost his spirits.

First is the establishment of sisterhood ties between Ormoc and Hawai’i which has the potential to open up trade and tourism activities between the two cities. Second is the recent announcement that Ormoc is the only city in Region 8 stamped with the Seal of Good Housekeeping by the DILG.

The Seal of Good Housekeeping is a form of recognition to a local government unit’s (LGU) good performance in internal housekeeping in the areas of planning, transparency and accountability, sound fiscal management, and valuing performance management.

This serves as another testament to Mayor Beboy’s clean leadership and governance. How so? Looking at the criteria set by the DILG, the qualification for being a recipient lies on the LGU’s compliance with the Anti-Red Tape Act and Full Disclosure Policy. This means the LGU should be transparent to the public on its dealings and transactions.

And get this: another important criterion is the absence of an adverse report from the Commission on Audit (Coa). This information is important considering the malversation case filed against Mayor Beboy which accuses him of violating Coa’s accounting and auditing rules.

The fact that the case is filed by Richard Gomez’s cabal makes it dubious already. Being transparent that his is, Mayor Beboy didn’t try to sweep the issue under the rug nor evade it. Without waiting for media to confront him, he immediately faced the Ormocanons and answered the accusations to show he has nothing to hide.

Officials of the City Accounting, Budget and Treasurer’s Offices clarified that the so-called discrepancies contained in the Annual Audit Reports (AAR) are procedural in nature especially on accounting entries, most of which have been corrected already. It is also worth noting that the AAR didn’t find any illegal disbursement.

The Ormocanons believed Mayor Beboy’s explanation as proven by the dismal failure of Richard Gomez’s signature drive for a recall election. Further weakening their cause is the withdrawal of Barangay Captain Samson C. Doguiles as one of the complainants of the case.

And now comes the Seal of Good Housekeeping. Take note that Ormoc is the only city out of six cities in the region stamped with this Seal. Surely the DILG is aware of Mayor Beboy’s case, publicized as it is in the media. This bolsters the suspicion that the case is politically motivated.

Gomez and his ilk would like to paint the City Hall as a cloak-and-dagger institution for corruption, but the DILG thinks otherwise. In fact, one requirement Ormoc was able to comply is the posting of 12 important documents on fund utilization, procurement and other financial transactions for public consumption.

Really now, how can anyone malverse funds in such an open climate? But the sour grapes simply refuse to give up. We heard from our mole at the congressional office that Gomez will try to convince Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo to withdraw the citation from Ormoc which is very unlikely.

Considering his apparent jealousy with Codilla family, it would be interesting to see Richard’s reaction when Mayor Beboy receives the plaque from President Noynoy Aquino next month on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Local Government Code. What a slap on his face. Pak!

It’s a good thing Jesus Christ wasn’t born in some places

IT’S a very good thing that Jesus Christ wasn’t born today in China or Japan, or even in the United States for that matter. Why? Because there is a very high probability he might not have been born. In the countries I mentioned, the rate of abortion versus natural births would have made his birth problematical.

Ponder the circumstances for a few brief moments. First, Mary’s pregnancy was an embarrassment — she was unmarried and single. Even Matthew and Luke who wrote the beautiful narrative of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem were quick to recognize the fact that Joseph, to whom Mary was engaged, was embarrassed over her pregnancy. This is borne out by the fact that he wanted to send her away privately until the baby was born.

Only God knows how many babies are never born because of the pressure parents put on expectant mothers due to unplanned and unwanted pregnancy that is an embarrassment to the family. While some think a quiet abortion is an end to an embarrassing situation, the trauma and silent cries of pain on successive birthdays as a mother thinks, “My baby would be so many years old by now” go on for a lifetime.

Joseph knew he was not the father of the child, and though he was a kind man and a godly one at that, it was not until an angel appeared to him that he was fully convinced that the child had been conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Then consider the fact that she and Joseph were both struggling with poverty. Luke makes it clear that though Mary was rich in righteousness, she was poor when it came to worldly riches. How do we know this? This is suggested by the rather inconsequential offering they brought to the temple at Jesus’ dedication.

Joseph was a carpenter, a common laborer and Mary a mere girl, probably in her middle teen years. Frankly, they couldn’t afford a baby at that point in their lives. Everybody knows that when you marry, you want some time to get a handle on furnishing your home, buying what you need, not preparing baby formula and changing diapers.

The child Mary was bearing was destined to change the course of humanity. Yet every child bears the mark of God’s handiwork, reproducing the images of two parents as 23 chromosomes from each unit produce their likeness in a tiny infant whose future can also bless humanity.

There is another factor which many consider grounds for terminating a pregnancy. The world in which they lived was filled with turmoil and chaos. “I don’t want to bring a child into the world when there is so much chaos,” was the excuse one young woman gave for terminating her unwanted pregnancy.

In most of the world, terminating an unwanted pregnancy is viewed as the solution to embarrassment, financial problems, impoverished circumstances and disrupting the flow of our lives. Had Mary pondered on any of these reasons, it is well possible that Jesus who was to bring healing to humanity and redemption for our souls would never have been born.

A closing thought. The comments which I have just made are strictly conjectures, but the reality of abortion is not. It is a sad, cold reality. Apart from the issue of ending a life, the question that must also be asked is this: “Would I, by terminating a pregnancy, interfere with what God wants to do? If so, I have presumed to make a decision which He alone should make.” Think about it.

Right to education

I RECEIVED a letter from a youngster regarding his studies. The letter goes:

Dear Sir Leo,
I was hoping to talk to you personally to discuss a very personal matter that concerns my right to education. I was formerly enrolled in one of the college institutions in Ormoc but I stopped because of my involvement and membership in a fraternity. Sir Leo, would it not affect if I am going to re-enroll in the same school despite their knowledge that I have been engaged in drugs even if I end it now for the sake of my education? Please send me you reply. Thanks.
-o0o-
Gerry, every student has the right to education which is a guarantee provided under our Constitution particularly section 1, Art. XVI which states: “The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.”
In other words, this affords you to enroll in an institution where you intend to finish your college course. Be it known that membership in a fraternity is not illegal per se as it is our right to join organizations, associations or groups for a legitimate purpose. Nowhere in your letter did you speak of any violation you committed when you were still a student.

Assuming you have committed a felony, you are always entitled to due process of law; the right to be heard and explain your side. Therefore, I can’t think of any reason for your denial should you re-enroll in college. But you have to remember that every school is clothed with academic freedom and is vested with the right to formulate policies for the legal and moral upbringing of the students’ future. Such policy may include penalties of expulsion which you have to take notice of. Therefore, I would advice you to be morally responsible while you are a student and even after graduation.

Basin nasayop la’g sulod

Dear Ate Ruby,
Ako si Mike, 30-anyos ug minyo na. Dili sa pagpanghambog pero medyo maayohon pod ko’g pamarog ug gawpo pod gamay. Sa wala pa ko maminyo daghan ko’g naagian nga relasyon — naay mga sersoyo, naa poy fling-fling lang. Pero sukad sa akong pagkaminyo ako na gyud gisulod sa akong huna-huna nga dili nako makig-involve pa sa ubang mga babaye kay virgin gyud ni nako nakuha ang naasawa nako mao nga siya ang akong gipakaslan sa kadaghan sa akong mga nauyab.

Apan mga pila pa lang ka tuig gikan sa among pagkaminyo, napaltos ang saad nako sa akong kaugaalingon tungod kay nahigugma man ko sa laing binuhat. Apan ako lang pod klarohon nga ako lang ning gitago sa akong kaugalingon ug wala nako biyae ang akong pamilya.

Makahuna-huna lang ko nganung karon pa man mi nagkakita niining bayhana. Maayo unta nagkita na mi sa una kadtong wala pa ko maminyo nga bisa’g dili na siya virgin nga akong makuha, siya gihapon ang akong pilion. Ingon ana ang akong pagkagusto niya.
Karon ate, sood na kaayo mi aning bayhana. Malipay naman lang ko nga sa tago nga pamaage ako siyang gimahal. Unya maayo man sab siya mutagad nako, bootan kaayo siya nako. Apan pipila na ka adlaw karon nga mura na siya’g naglikay nako kay naay nag-text niya nga nagmando nga dili na ko tagdon kay kon dili gani patyon siya niini.
Unsa may akong buhaton ate? Dili ko gusto nga mawala ang maayo niyang tinagdan nako. Unsa may buhaton nako aning nagsige og text ka niya? Hasta pod dire nako baya naa poy magsige og text og maut.   
Lover boy,
Mike

Dear Mike,
Maka-feel ko sa sincerity sa imong istorya. Imong giangkon nga imong gipakaslan ang imong asawa tungod kay maoy imong saad sa imong kaugalingon nga kung kinsay virgin nga makuha nimo maoy imong minyoan. Ikaw diay ang tipo sa lalaki nga mag-testing usa sa mga babaye aron masabtan kung virgin pa ba. Magsige ka pod diay og sulod, no? Ug ila pod ka pasudlon.
Apan kabahin sa nag-text sa babayeng nakapatibok og otro sa imong kasing-kasing, basin nagpataka ra ni og sulod — kanang gitawag ba nila nga missent. Klaroha sa ni kay delikado baya ang sulod sa iyang text. Laliman ka’g patyon niya ang babaye kung dili siya moundang og tagad sa imo.
Sa laing bahin, tengale pod ang imong asawa ang nagtext ani nga babaye, nigamit lang og laing sim. Susihon lang usa pag-ayo. Akong tambag sa tanang mga magtiayon bahin aning mga text-text, ayaw ni ninyo himua dayon nga dakong away. It’s no big deal. Text ra na. Kung naa moy pagsalig sa inyong partner, you should learn how to consider things.
And since we’re on the topic of text messages, gusto ko’g mangayo og dispensa kang Abet (kabalo naka kung kinsa ka). Komedya ra tong text nako bisan may pagka-green kadto.
Love,
Ate Ruby

Hilom nga pakigkita ni PNoy kang Murad

KANIADTONG Agosto 4, sikretong nakigkita si Presidente Noynoy Aquino kang Al Haj Murad Ibrahim sa MILF didto sa Tokyo, Japan. Nakaani kini og daghang reaksyon ug daghan ang nahisagmuyo sa katawhang Pilipinhon. Apan nganong didto man gayod sa Tokyo gihimo nga usa  ka hilom nga pakigtagbo?

Matod pa ni Prof. Marvic Leonen, dekano sa sa College of Law sa Unibersidad sa Pilipinas ug hepe sa panel sa gobyerno nga nakigsabot-sabot sa MILF, prangka ang panagkabildo ni Aquino ug Murad. Kini si Murad maoy chairman sa MILF ug siyay sibling hawod nila.

Matod ni Leonen, nagkauyon silang duha nga kinahanglang dalion ang panagkabildo alang sa kalinaw aron kini ika-implementar sulod sa termino ni PNoy. Diha-diha ang mga politiko, kaanib ug kaaway sa administrasyon, nagkahiusa sa pag-atake sa hilom nga pakigkita ni PNoy ug Murad.

Matod pa ni Sen. Chiz Escudero nga alyado ni PNoy nga wala unta kini buhata sa Pangulo tungod kay usa man siya ka leader sa nasod nga soberanya samtang si Murad dili — usa siya ka sisbilyan. Sahi da sa gihatagan ni Aquino si Murad og importantsya nga angay lamang sa usa ka leader sa usa ka independenteng nasod, pahayag ni Chiz. Usa kini ka sayop nga paagi pagsulbad sa suliran sa kagubot sa Mindanao.

Si Kongresista Edcel Lagman nga lider sa oposisyon sa Ubos Balay Balaoranan miingong nga walay maayong gikadulot ang maong gitago nga panagkita ngadto sa mga lungsoranong Pilipino. Tungod kay ang gikasabutan bahin man sa ikaayo sa nasod, dili kini angay nga itago, matod niya. Kon unsay gikasabutan ni PNoy ug Murad angay kining mahibaw-an sa nasod ilabina sa mga molupyo sa Mindanao, sumala pa kang Lagman.

Samtang ang uban midayeg kang Aquino nga kuno sinsero siya sa iyang tinguha nga masulbad ang dugay nang kagubot sa Mindanao, ang uban usab nag-ingon nagpakita lamang kini sa kanobatos ni Aquino sa arte sa pangagamhanan.

Sa iyang  paghatag og imprtansiya kang Murad nakabaton lamang og dugang kusog ang MILF sa pagpugos sa ilang mga gipangayo ngadto sa gobyerno. Karon maisugon na nilang iduso ang pagtukod og usa ka Bangsamoro sub-state nga matod pa nila maoy bugtong sulbad sa gumonhap sa Mindanao.

Ang sub-state, pulong pa nila, dili usa ka independenteng nasod ug ubos gihapon kini sa gobyerno sa Pilipinas. Apan ang MILF ang mopadagan niini lakip na ang pagtikad sa kinaiyanhong mga kahinguhaan sa mga dapit nga ilang sakopon ug ang pagmintinar sa kahusay ug kalinaw sa maong mga lugar. Magpabilin sa kagamhanan nasyonal ang nasodnong panalipod, kalihungang panglangyaw ug koreyo.

Migara na ang MILF human nila makita nga ingon sa nagakahuyang ang baroganan sa gobyerno tungod pakigkita ni PNoy kang Murad. Karon nangusog ang MILF nga kon dili ihatag ka nila ang sub-state, ipadayon nila ang pakiggera batok sa kagamhanan aron makab-ot ang una nilang katuyoan nga mao ang pagbulag nila sa Pilipinas ug magtukod og usa ka Republika sa Bangsamoro. Kining gidamgo sa MILF maoy usa ka dakong binuang kay supak man kaayo kini sa atong Konstitusyon.

Miyembro sa sindikato nasikop

USA ka miyembro og sindikato sa drogas sa Sugbo ang nadakpan sa mga autoridad niadtong Setyembre 7. Ang nadakpan mao si Cipriano Diano, 38-anyos nga taga-Benolho, lungsod sa Albuera. Nadakpan siya tungod sa pagpanghulga niya sa usa ka negosyante sa Ormoc.

Ang reklamante mao si Joel Mascariñas, tag-iya sa Mom’s Hardware nga nangayo og tabang sa Presinto 1 kay nagpunay daw og panghulga ka niya ni Diano pinaagi sa text pila na ka adlaw ang milabay. Naalarma sad ang mga pulis tungod kay nagpaila ang gikatahapan sa text nga siya si Rolly Pocson, usa ka banggiitang tigpayuhot og drogas sa Sugbo.

Busa, gipangitaan og paagi sa kapulisan nga makontak si Diano nga wala makaahibawo nga ang mga autoridad na ang nagsige og text kaniya. Hangtod nagsabot sila nga magkita sa Manina’s Eatery nga nahimutang kilid sa Superdome. Usa ka entrapment operation ang biplano sa kapulisan.
Nipuwesto ang mga pulis sa palibot diin magkita unta sila Diano ug Mascariñas gamit ang mga
pribadong sakyanan. Pag-abot sa gikatahapan, wala na siya maka-react dihang giposasan siya samtang nagpunay pa og text nga nagsakay sa iyang single nga motorsiklo.

Gidala siya dayon sa istasyon diin iyang giangkon nga siya ang nag-text kang Mascariñas nga iya lang daw gikomedyahan ug wala daw siyay dautang intensyon. Kanhi daw siyang drayber sa hardware ni Mascariñas sulod sa siyam ka tuid ug duha na ka tuig siyang miundang.

Gikumpirma sad ni Diano nga kauban siya nila ni Pocson ug Kerwin Espinosa, duha sa mga ngilngig nga tigpayuhot sa Sugbo. Sugid sa gikatahapan nga siya ang nagmaneho sa sakyanan dihang nadakpan sila si Pocson ug Espinosa kaniadtong 2010 pero apil siyang gikasuhan kay may nakuhang armas sa iyag duol sulod sa sakyanan. Nakagawas siya human makapiyansa og P13,000.

Nasayran gikan kang SInsp. Shevert Alvin Machete, hepe sa Presinto 1 nga gipaninguha nila nga ma-verify ang criminal record ni Diano kon duna pa ba kini laing kaso sa laing lugar. Gipasakaan siya og kasong grave threats ni Mascariñas.
