TAMA NA! SOBRA NA!

Itama na natin ang mali, wag nang puro dakdak! 

     We have had enough of government changes since Edsa I, 28 years ago and nothing good for the country had been accomplished. What is needed to do, is for us to teach our COMELEC how to count our votes honestly and correctly.

   Since time immemorial vote counting in the country are tainted and mostly being protested. Why? It is because votes counted in the municipal and city levels  differs with main offices' results. Whatever is happening in the transport of ballot boxes to Manila, we don't know. We have to solve this discrepancies fast! If we are to use technology, computers must be protected from Social Media Hackers. This is the right time to install safety nets for our 2016 elections.

     New leaders must extend a hand of friendship to losing parties for united and concerted efforts, integrate individual ideas to create a solid action for the people.

     Church and other religious sects must refrain from intervening in government exercises. i.e. elections.

     Enough of solicited mistakes, like Edsa 1, 2, 3. Let PNoy finish his term and then let us altogether build a new Philippines through an honest and orderly elections in 2016.

     Filipinos are already tired of poverty-ridden politics. We have rich resources, let us show the world that Filipinos are also part of this magnificent human race.

     We have to find the right leaders, enough of political bickering. What this country needs is a leader who knows how to use, handle and take care of this natural resources for Filipinos.

     Iwasan na natin ang mga Padre Damaso sa lipunan. Wag natin silang pakinggan. Tayo ang tunay na boses ng bayan, tayo dapat ang nasusunod at hindi mga dayuhan. (Teddy Lechadores III)

PUBLIC AUCTION SA PARANAQUE, TAGUMPAY!

Determinado si Treasurer Anton Pulmano na ipatupad ang batas ukol sa amelyar! 

    Lingid sa ating kaalaman ay isang dekada na palang hindi nagsasagawa ng disiplina sa pagbabayad ng buwis sa lupa o amelyar ang Lungsod ng Paranaque kung kaya't kabi-kabilang audit findings ang inilalabas ng Commission on Audit na isa ang Parañaque na hindi sumusunod sa batas hinggil sa public auction.  At base na rin sa pag aaral ng Department of Finance mababa ang amelyar o taxpayers compliance ng mga siyudad na hindi nagsasagawa ng public auction ng mga delikwenteng buwis sa amelyar. Ayaw man nilang gawin ito, nais lamang nilang sundin ang batas, sapagkat kapag may kakulangan sa pagpapatupad ng batas maaring ang mga tauhan ng pamahalaang lungsod lalo na ang treasurer naman ang kasuhan ng pamahalaang nasyunal ng COA at DOF.

     Sa pagnanais ni Paranaque City Treasurer Anthony L. Pulmano na ipatupad ang inatang sa kanya ni Mayor Olivarez na "effective collection and prudent spending" at para na rin pataasin ang koleksyon ng nasabing Lungsod.

   Isinagawa ni Treas. Pulmano ang naturang AUCTION SALE noong Disyembre 10, 2014 sa pangalawang palapag ng Legislative Building, kung saan ito'y dinaluhan ng mga bidders at mga opisyales ng Lungsod ng Paranaque na kinabibilangan nina City Legal Officer Atty. Frias, City Treasurer Pulmano, RPT Head Arnold De Castro, License Chief Noel Sandil, Treasurer's Office Legal Officer Atty. Phillip Yam na nagsilbing Auctioneer.

     Nabanggit din ni Treas. Pulmano na kailangan ang POLITICAL WILL upang maipatupad ng maayos ang nararapat at naangkop na solusyon sa usapin ng pananalapi ng lungsod. Kailangan ng siyudad ng INCOME o REVENUES upang hindi maantala ang mga proyekto at serbisyo publiko ng pamahalaang lungsod. Sa kasalukuyan ay medyo hirap ang kaban ng Lungsod sanhi ng mga kakulangan sa pagresolba sa mga problemang pinansyal ng mga nakaraang administrasyon na sa kasalukuyan ay maayos nang nailatag ang magandang estado ng pananalapi ng Lungsod ng Paranaque.

     Napag-alaman din mula sa pagsisiyasat at pananaliksik ni Treas. Pulmano na kapag walang AUCTION SALE na isinasagawa ang lungsod ay dumadami ang mga Delinquent Taxpayers. At upang ipaalam sa madla na ang hindi pagbabayad ng buwis ay paglabag sa batas na may kaukulang parusa.

     Matatandaan na bago pa man isinagawa ang PUBLIC AUCTION, nauna ng ipinatupad noong nakaraang taon ang REAL PROPERTY TAX AMNESTY na ipinasa ng konseho at ni Mayor Edwin Olivarez upang tulungan ang mga may delinkwenteng buwis sa amelyar.  Ang Tax Amnesty na ito ay kumita ng humigit kumulang na P600-Milyon. Samanatala, ang  isinagawang Public Auction ay idinaan sa tamang proseso, alinsunod sa probisyon ng Local Government Code of 1991.

Kung sakali man na maghabol ang may ari sa kanyang ari-arian na na-AUCTION, sila ay binibigyan ng palugit na isang taon para ito'y kanilang tubusin, ngunit kailangan ng may-ari na bayaran ang kaukulang bid price plus 2% penalty.

      Panawagan ng Lungsod sa mga real property taxpayers na magbayad sa tamang oras at huwag maging delingkwente para maiwasan ang karagdagang bayarin at upang huwag nang maisali sa AUCTION ang inyong ari-arian.

      Ang pamahalaan ay nagpapatupad lamang ng BATAS at tungkulin ng mamamayan lalong lalo na ang mga  may-ari ng mga bahay at lupa na magbayad sa pamahalaan at TANGKILIKIN ang batas para na rin sa ikagaganda ng pamumuhay ng bawat isa sa lungsod ng Paranaque.

PARANAQUE CITY

Save the Parañaque River: 

Pinangunahan ni  Mayor Edwin L. Olivarez ang pag-turnover ng tseke para sa Save the Parañaque River Foundation sa pamumuno ni Chairwoman Corazon Alma De Leon. Sumaksi sa nasabing turnover ay sina City Health Officer Dr. Olga Virtusio, CENRO Head Bernie Amurao, ex-Coun. Daddy Jun Benzon, ilang opisyal, staff at mga panauhin. Ayon kay Mayor Olivarez, isa ito sa mga prayoridad na proyekto ng kanyang pamahalaan kaya’t marapat na ang mga ilog sa lungsod ay mapangalagaan at mamintina sa tamang paraan upang hindi na muli pang bumalik sa lungsod ang iwinaksi nilang pagbabaha. Nang maupo bilang meyor si Kuya Edwin ay kasabay nitong ginawaran ng solusyon ang matagal ng problema ng mamamayan sa baha . Dagdag pa ng butihing meyor na malaki ang ginampanan ng proyekto niyang ilog sa pagkawala ng baha sa Paranaque City. (Bernie Anabo/TDL)

BUREAU OF CUSTOMS

Bureau of Customs, anyare sa port congestion?

Commissioner Sevilla, inutil sa pagresolba sa problema ng BOC

     Bakit dumadami pa ang container alerts sa inyong hurisdiksyon kung hindi nyo rin naman ito mapo-proseso, sing bilis din sana ito kung paano nyo ito inalerto?Ang siste kaya padami ng padami ang bilang ng mga containers na dumadagdag pa sa problema ng Port Congestion dyan sa pantalan ay dahil sing kupad ng pagong ang proseso ng mga naalertong mga lata. Bakit ba nagkakaroon ng port congestion? May nakita ako'ng formula na kanilang ginagawa: ALERTS + NO PROCESSING OF ALERTS + ARRASTRE PRIORITIES + CORRUPTION = PORT CONGESTION.
     Batid nating lahat na papalapit na ang pasko kung saan at kailan dumadami ang mga barkong dumadating na may dalang mga kargamento. Ang prayoridad ngayon ng arrastre ay yaong mga bagong kargamento na kanilang pagkakakitaan, hindi po ba? Para may pamasko sila sa kani-kanilang pamilya.
     Kaya't ang nangyayari ngayon sa libo-libong mga naalertong mga kargamento ay akabinbin lamang sa isang sulok at nadadagdagan pa kapag meron muling alertong mangyayari sa kasalukuyan. Ang ganitong patakaran ay nagiging mitsa ng korupsyon sa loob ng BOC dahil kung gusto mong makuha ang iyong kargamento ay mapipilitan kang maglagay. Ang suma tutal ay laganap na korupsyon. Gaano katotoo ito? Yan dapat ay sagutin ni Comm. Sevilla.
      Alam nyo ba mga kababayan kung ilang araw ang average processing days na ginugugol sa pag-proseso ng mga papeles para ito maaprubahan at tuluyan nang pahintulutang maalis sa pantalan? sampung araw na tumataginting.   angan ang susunod na kabanata)
