na nakapaloob sa isang Job Order Contract. Ideneklara ito ng COA bilang "prohibited" sapagkat mandatory sa isang lungsod ang pagkakarun ng City Legal Officer, at dahil dito ay nagpalabas ang COA ng Notice of Disallowance. Subalit Noong ika 12 ng Enero 2011, sa special session ay muling inadopt ng mga respondents ang resolution na nagbi igay kapangyarihan kay Mayor Silang upang muling hirangin si Atty Salvacion ngayon naman ay bilang "Financial Management at

Ang tulong ng CESO ay sinusuportahan ng DTI upang maging business friendly ang isang bayan at higit na makapang-akit ng investors at tulungang lumago ang mga lokal na negosyante. Sinabi ni Mayor Maliwanag na kung lalaki ang kita ng bayan, pagiibayuhin niya ang
serbisyo para sa bayan. Kung ang bayan ay makikilala bilang business-friendly municipality, marami pa silang mahihikayat na malalaking negosyo sa bayan. Napawi ang agam agam ni Mayor Maliwanag tungkol sa maintenance ng computerization program nila. Ipinaliwanag ni Mr. Navalta na ang tanging gastos ng munisipyo ay registration fee

Wala nang gastos pa ang munisipyo sa mga susunod na panahon pagkatapos ng pagsasanay sapagkat ang munisipyo ay inihahanda upang makayanang pamahalaan ang computer system. Contributed by DTI
Marso 8 ang Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Kababaihan, Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Nagtatrabahong Kababaihan o International Working Women’s Day ang orihinal nitong pangalan na mula sa isang politikal na Sosyalistang pagdiriwang. Ang pag-alala at pagdiriwang sa araw na ito ay napakahalaga sapagkat dito natin inaalala ang naging ambag ng samahan at pagoorganisa ng mga kababaihan sa kanilang hanay upang ipaglaban ang kanilang mga karapatan. Noon, nagsimula ito bilang isang movement na nagsusulong upang makaboto ang kababaihan, na nagpatuloy sa pakikipaglaban upang magkaroon ng pantay na karapatan at prebilehiyo ang mga kababaihan kagaya ng natatamasa ng mga kalalakihan. Ngayon, bagamat halos parehas na ng natatamasa ang mga kababaihan kagaya ng sa kalalakihan, hindi pa rin nawawala ang karamihan sa mga suliranin ng mga ito, isa na rito ang karahasan, rape, sexual harassment at iba pang tipo ng pagsasalamantala. Kaugnay na rin ito ng matinding kahirapan na nararanasan pa rin ng sambayanan. Hindi natatapos ang ipinaglalaban ng mga kababaihan na nilalahukan din ng iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan. Kagaya ngayong panahon ng administrasyon ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino, kung saan lahat ay nagtataasan maliban sa sahod at kabuhayan, nanatiling militante at palaban ang kanilang sektor upang igiit ang wasto at nararapat para sa mamamayan. Kaya ngayong buwan ng kababaihan, dapat nagpapatuloy ang pagsusulong ng ating mga karapatan. Isang napakagandang halimbawa ang samahan ng mga kababaihan at pag-oorganisa nito sa kanilang hanay upang kagaya ng kanilang sektor ay maipaglaban ng bawat isa sa atin kung ano ang nararapat, kaakibat ang pagsisikap, pasusuri, pagmumulat sa sarili at sa iba, para sa tuloy-tuloy at progresibong pag-angat ng ating pamumuhay ‘di lamang bilang isang babae, kundi bilang isang mabuting mamamayan.

Pambihira talaga, abay ayon sa ating nakalap na impormasyon ay over-staying na raw ang Manager ng Quezon Metropolitan Water District (QMWD) na si Enrico Pasumbal. Wala raw balak mag-resign at kapit tuko raw sa Gobernador ! diyos ko po naman! hindi kaya nagsasawa ng kauupo sa kanyang opisina si Mgr. Pasumbal? Ipaubaya mo na sa iba ang iyong pwesto Mgr. Pasumbal at ilang taon ka na raw pala diyan sa QMWD. Abay! Mahiya ka naman sa balat mo. Grabe ka naman! Ang isa pa mga Mare at Pare ko! Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay nagkaroon yan ng kaso sa isa naming kasamahan sa hanapbuhay na ang ibay nagrarally pa anga diyan sa harapan ng QMWD. Hindi ko na babanggitin ang pangalan ng Reporter na ito dahil sa palagay koy nabasura na sa korte yong kaso ng dalawang yan. Pero ang sa ganang akin naman bakit
hanggang ngayon ay nagtitiyaga pa rin at nananatiling nakaupo sa pwesto ang Mgr. ng QMWD? Anong meron ba dyan sa QMWD parang nahihiwagaan ako dyan sa QMWD! Parang may nangyayaring kababalaghan dyan kaya siguro nagtatagal si Mgr. Enrico pasumbal! Abay! Kaibigan natin ito. Hindi po ba Sir? Ewan ko lang kung natatandaan ako niyan, pero sa palagay ko’y hindi na dahil one time ko lang siyang na meet sa kanyang opisina noon palitan siya ng dating Mgr. Blue-blue Cadavillo kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Simula noong ay hindi na ako napapasyal dyan sa QMWD. Alam nyo mga Mare at Pare ko, kaya ko naungkat itong QMWD ay dahil tungkol sa nangyaring sunog dyan sa Pretty 99 na wala raw tubig ang Fire Hydrant at ang susi ay nasa QMWD ayon sa Bureau of Fire Protection. Ayon naman sa ating nakalap na impormasyon kaya raw
hindi ipagkatiwala ng QMWD ang susi sa kadahilanang ang tubig raw ay ibinebenta ng Bureau of Fire Protection sa mga Bara-barangay. Susko ko!. Hindi ko malaman kung sino ba sa dalawang ahensya yan ang nagsasabi ng totoo. Baka gusto ninyong mag text at mag email sa kolum na ito para malaman natin kung alin sa dalawang ahensya na ito ang nagsasabi ng totoo. Kasi dyan sa parting yan ay wala tayong pinapanigan at kinakampihan at patas tayo sa pamamahayag at hindi tayo bias. Antay ko ang inyong kasagutan tungkol sa isyung ito Mgr. Pasumbal at ang Hepe ng Bureau of Fire Protection na bagong katalaga raw diyan sa Ahensya ng Pamahalaan. Kaya hindi natin binabanggit ang pangalan ng Hepe ng tanggapan yan ay hindi nga natin kilala pa siya at hindi ko nahaharap ng personal. Sige good luck sa inyong dalawa at sana maayos na ang isyung ito.

GEMI A BREAK GEMI FORMARAN
We may run out of doctors! "Kailangan ko ng credible at matapang na kolumnista, pwede ka bang maimbita"? This was the simple content of a text message sent to me last Thursday by Manong Johnny (Glorioso), a veteran newspaper and radio man, who is the editor/ publisher of this weekly paper. With such a generous invitation, how could I say no to a good friend whom I consider a contemporary (not in age, of course). Manong Johnny whom his former best friend, Sonny Mallari, fondly called MJ, started as a provincial correspondent for DzMM in 1988. I became part of the local media circle as a field reporter of DzLT, the year after. One good thing about MJ is his being good when it comes to courting. His lowing wife, former Board Member and now Kapitana Precy, knows this very well! Peace, Tita Precy! Knowing MJ as a good partner and co- worker, I didn't think twice and promptly
accepted the invitation. So, I quickly replied, "Kailan ba ako nakatanggi sa iyo, Manong"! And that was it! _o0o_ Prominent Quezon businessman Boy Pardilla has filed administrative complaints against two Sariaya policemen, namely, SPO1 Erald Cristobal and PO1 Ireneo Alivio. Quoting his gasoline boy, Pardilla said the two cops had refused to run after the fleeing robbers on an Elf Tanker shortly after the heist. Pardilla said the four pistol- wielding male robbers barged into Maxx Gas Station at Bgy. Guis- Guis at around 4:00 a.m. and at gun point took its P6,000 cash earnings. The robbers then started filling the tanker with 1, 487 liters of diesel and 1, 800 liters of gasoline amounting to around P300,000. In a phone interview, Pardilla disclosed that right after the robbers left the gas station, the boy who was left unharmed, rushed and sought
Vegetable Dealer patay sa pamamaril sa Candelaria
Tatlong tama ng bala sa ulo ang kumitil sa buhay ng isang vegetable dealer makaraan itong tambangan at pagbabarilin ng dalawang hindi nakilalang mga suspek. Ayon sa ulat, ang biktimang si Jason Latayan, 32' isang vegetable dealer ay sakay ng kanyang barako motircycle dakong alas dos ng hapon at patungo sa direksiyon ng lungsod ng lucena. Pagsapit sa may bahagi ng brgy bukal sur, biglang sumulpot mula sa likuran nito ang dalawang suspek at kaagad na pinaputukan ng malapitan ang biktima sa ulo na ikinasawi nito noon din at mabilis na nagsitakas. Dalawang basyo mula sa kalibre 45 baril ang narkober ng mga pulissa ligar na
pinagyarihan ng krimen. Sanggol nalunod sa isang Pitsel ng Tubig Patay na ng matagpuan ng mga residente ng Infanta, Quezon ang isang sanggol na nakapaloob sa sang pitsel na puno ng tubig . Ayon sa ulat may ilang oras ding nawawala ang isang sanggol na ipinanganak may walong araw lang ang nakakaraan. Natagpuan ito ng mga residente na patay na sa pagkalunod at nasa loob ng isang pitsel na puno ng tubig. Lumabas naman sa imbestigasyon , na may diperensiya sa pagiisip amg 19 na taong gulang na ina nito. Nasa pangangalaga na ng mga pulis ang ina ng bata. (JOHNNY GLORIOSO)
assistance to the nearby Police Action Center some 100 meters away and manned Cristobal and Alivio but the duo did not react immediately. He told this writer that it was the second time that such incident happened in the gas station. Pardilla said it was on July 25, 2013 when the establishment was first robbed by armed men using the same tanker. The actuation shown by these two cops makes Pardilla suspects that they are in cahoots with the robbers. In fairness to the town police chief, the two cops were promptly ordered relieved from their posts effective that day. Saying his initial findings show that there was negligence on the part of his two policemen, Chief Insp. Joel de Mesa also ordered that the duo be investigated, and administratively charged, if necessary Knowing his track record, I believe De Mesa never tolerates erring policemen under his command. It has been proven that most of the time, the good image of police commanders get tarnished due to the inefficiency and negligence of their subordinates particularly their men in the field. Pardilla who hails from Aurora, Quezon owns a number of Maxx Gas stations not only in Quezon but also in other provinces of Calabarzon and Mimaropa regions. His family owns vast of productive lands in the Bondoc Peninsula and the famous Silangang Nayon Resort and Restaurant in Pagbilao, Quezon. The businessman's younger brother, Johnson "Jing" Pardilla is a respected oil and rice miller. The Pardilla family contributes a lot to the province for around 4 decades in terms of employment and taxes! I wish this family would not totally lost its trust to the police and come up with an idea of pulling out their multi- million investments in the province just because of the few rotten eggs in the police service! Kapag kasi nagkataon, saan kaya hahagilapin ng lokal na gobyerno ang mawawalang napakalaking halaga ng buwis
na isinusulit ng pamilya? Ano kayang trabaho ang ibibigay ng gobyerno sa napakarming mga tauhan ng pamilya na mawawalan ng hanapbuhay? Ano, maglalagay ba ng mga beauty parlor ang pamahalaang panlalawigan kapalit ng kung sakali ay mawawalang gas station, resort o rice mill? 'Yon bang gasoline boy o taga giling ng palay ay pwedeng maging manikyurista? Itanong natin kay Gob!!! _o0o_ Its now an open book that a newly promoted police Senior Superintendent (Colonel) is dreaming to become the director of Quezon Police Provincial Office which is now under the stewardship of Senior Supt. Ronnie Ylagan in acting capacity. The police official who is now assigned in Camp Crame is reportedly using the governor's mommy and daddy to make his dream come true. So far, I don't see any valid reason why Ylagan, a decorated police officer who just took the post a few months ago should be replaced this early. Ylagan was appointed by no less than the Chief, PNP based on his track record and colorful police career. A pride of Philippine Military Academy Class 1990, Ylagan is a native of Gumaca, Quezon. As far as I know, Gov. Jayjay has already wrote a letter to Director General Alan LM Purisima confirming Ylagan as full pledge police director of the province. Secondly, the aspiring police official is eyeing a key position that is no longer vacant. So why is this guy seeking the post? Sabi ni Pareng Benjie, tumagilid daw ang security agency at gas station ni kernel kaya nagkaroon ng malaking utang sa parents ni Gob. Kaya dapat daw itong maka pwesto para magkaroon ng pambayad! Ganon? Bakit, malaki na ba ang sweldo ng PD??? If you're going to ask me who this guy is, sa totoo laang ay inde ko baya alam. Ako ngani ay mahina pagdating sa tsismis. _o0o_ Saying it is absolutely unfair on their part, members of the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) are crying
foul over a tax campaign advertisement of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The association president, Dr. Leo Olarte said the group would not tolerate tax cheats among its ranks. he half- page ads that appeared in a national broadsheet shows a female medical doctor riding piggyback on a female teacher portrays the former as a tax cheat. BIR Commissioner Kim Henares was quick to explain that the print ad was based on numerous complaints received by the BIR from individuals that their doctors were not issuing receipts. She said its also based on actual data collected by the bureau that shows significant discrepancy between taxes paid by doctors and their estimated incomes. Saying the bureau has nothing personal against doctors, the latter should not take the print ad personally, said Henares. If I will be asked, there is nothing wrong with that print ad. Those medical practitioners who are paying their taxes religiously and accurately should not be hurt with the ads message. Only those delinquent tax payers are the ones who should react. Bakit anya magagalit sa mga bato- bato na bumagsak mula sa langit kung di ka naman tinamaan? I personally agree with the allegations that are so many doctors who do not issue receipts to their patients during medical consultations. Quezon alone has so many doctors whose professional fees are so high, making their patients more sicked due to stress and high blood pressure. We even have doctors who own or co- own drug stores. Iyon bagang kapag nag- isyu ng reseta ng gamot ay doon mo lamang mabibili sa kanyang drug store. Though legal, we consider it as highly immoral. No wonder why many rich doctors become richer everyday. With all the given facts, some friends of mine in the barber shop suggest that erring doctors especially the tax cheats should be prosecuted and jailed once proven guilty. Ang sagot ko ay, "Huwag naman po at baka sila maubos!!!

March 8 is day of accountability – Gabriela
“Women will hold President Benigno S. Aquino III accountable over the continuing negligence of the victims of super typhoon Yolanda, the worsening poverty experienced by women and their families and the worsening corruption.” – Gabriela MANILA – Criminal negligence, worsening poverty and corruption, these are the key issues that progressive women’s group Gabriela will highlight on March 8, International Working Women’s Day. Every year, Gabriela commemorates International Working Women’s Day by highlighting burning issues that greatly affect women and their families. This year, the largest women’s organization in the Philippines would highlight the plight of the victims of super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) who have been neglected and abandoned by the government of President Benigno S. Aquino III for the past four months, as well as the plight of women, in general, who are sick and tired of Aquino’s negligence and utter disregard for the welfare of the poor in favor of big local and foreign
businesses. Joms Salvador, secretary general of Gabriela said March 8 is the day of accountability. “Women will hold President Benigno S. Aquino III accountable over the continuing negligence of the victims of super typhoon Yolanda, the worsening poverty experienced by women and their families and the worsening corruption.” Criminal negligence Salvador criticized the Aquino administration’s sluggish response to the needs of victims of typhoon Yolanda. “There has been no rehabilitation in the devastated areas in Eastern Visayas. The condition of the survivors of the typhoon has never improved but is worsening instead,” she told Bulatlat. com in a phone interview. March 8 will also be the fourth month after typhoon Yolanda struck Eastern Visayas. Last
January, People Surge, an organization of survivors of the typhoon went to Manila to personally voice out to the government the real condition and the demands of the people of Eastern Visayas. In a forum, Jessica Danatinao, convener of People Surge and who is also from Leyte and a victim of the typhoon said the affected people in Eastern Visayas have never been okay. “They should go to the different places in the region, people are suffering from hunger. Many still don’t have houses.” Mothers are poorer Women and their children suffer more under the government of Aquino, Salvador said. Contrary to the claims of inclusive growth by the government, the Center for Women’s Resources said poverty incidence remains high at 25 percent. “Despite having

an expensive poverty reduction program like 4Ps [Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, the local version of the conditional cash transfer program], the poverty incidence did not significantly change from 26.6 percent in 2006. Conservative estimates peg the number of poor Filipinos at 23.7 million. The regions with the highest poverty incidence are the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Bicol and the CARAGA region,” the CWR 2014 Ulat Lila report read. Salvador also said prices of basic commodities and utilities also continue to increase under Aquino. Salvador also said privatization of services like health also intensified under Aquino. “Privatization further marginalizes the poor. It worsens their (the poor) conditions by not having access to basic social services like health,” she said. The modernization project of the Philippine Orthopedic Center (POC) has been awarded and will start the construction this year should the Supreme Court not grant the petition for Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) filed by patients and employees of the said hospital. Salvador said women would also hold Aquino accountable for the gross corruption under his administration. She said that despite claims of the Aquino government that it is taking the righteous path, those who are liable to the pork barrel scam have not yet been punished. “The Disbursement Acceleration Program (worth P1.3 trillion or $30 billion) despite criticisms

is still under his office and the president would not even let go of it.” Why women should join March 8 protest On March 8, in Metro Manila alone, Gabriela said, they are mobilizing at least 10,000 women from all walks of life to show this government that women are a potent force to contend with. At 2:00 pm, women from different sectors will assemble at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila. A program will be held until 3:30 and will march going to Chino Roces Bridge (former Mendiola Bridge) where they will have a program until 6:00 pm. “Women have had
enough. Four years under Aquino, the plight of the poor women became even poorer and with the dire poverty, women are more vulnerable to abuse,” she said. “Let it be remembered that women played an important role in our history, in ousting a dictator and also a corrupt womanizer. We are getting impatient with Aquino’s incompetence, negligence and of being ignored. On March 8, women will send him a strong message that President better gets his act together or face the wrath of women scorned,” Salvador said. ANNE MARXZE D. UMIL reprinted from bulatlat. com
