Proclamation of Marinduque representative hit Repost from The Manila Times
Published on 19 May 2013 Written by JOMAR CANLAS REPORTER
Incumbent Rep. Lord Allan Velasco of Marinduque has filed a petition before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) seeking to annul the proclamation of his opponent Regina Ongsiako Reyes who is allegedly a US citizen. Velasco also chided the Provincial Board of Canvassers (PBOC) of Marinduque for disregarding a Comelec En Banc resolution declaring that Reyes is an alien who is unqualified for the cited elective position. In a statement, Velasco lambasted the PBOC of Marinduque composed of Regional Director Emmanuel Ignacio, Prosecutor Bimbo Mercado and Magdalena Lim for proclaiming Reyes Gina Reyes Allan Velasco as the winner in the election for the post of representative of the lone district of Marinduque on May 18 Velasco, thus, called Reyes’ proclamation as “highly irregular, illegal and premature” in view of the May 14, 2013 resolution of the Comelec En Banc. He stressed that the PBOC should have suspended the proclamation in the meantime to await whatever action the high court may take on the challenged resolution. He sought the annulment of the Reyes proclamation for being null and void and devoid of any legal and constitutional basis. “Marinduqueños are bewildered by Reyes’ proclamation since the PBOC is under the Comelec En Banc and is required to comply with and obey all resolutions and orders of the Commission,” Velasco said. He added, “[Marinduque residents] are aghast at the thought that US citizen will represent them in the House of Representatives in violation of Section 6, Article VI of the Constitution, [which provides] that only a natural born Filipino citizen is qualified to become a Congressman.” More on page 10...

Ay...Marinduque Ni: NOEL V. MAGTURO
As we support our fledging government, numerous problems have been encountered. People who have been appointed in some sensitive positions seem not to help the government any better. Instead of being assets, they are more of being liabilities. Being loud-mouthed for sure is now what we need. Those who do not listen to ordinary “laymen” and who feel over proud with the appendages on their names definitely are self destructing mechanism that might eventually destroy the government. Nitong mga nakaraang lingo ay lumabas sa ilan nating mga ”honorables” ang kanilang mga paniniwalang sumbong at inggit ng kanilang mga kasamahan na walang negatibong batayan, na siya namang ikababagsak sa pag-unlad ng Marinduque. Sa mga inggitero’t inggitera, sumbungero’t sumbungera, mag-isip isip muna kayo nang dalawang beses bago kayo magreport sa inyong mga ”honorables” . Ang ilan nating mga local na opisyal ay ang nakikita lamng palagi ay ang mga maliliit na kamalian ng mga maliliit at nagmamalasakit na kababayan. Nakakaligtaan na nila ang malaking nagawang kabutihan ng ilang mga boluntaryong kababayan natin sa Marinduque. Ang ilan sa mga ito ay nagsasakripisyo upang hindi na mapahiya an gating lalawigan kahit na gumastos pa mula sa sariling bulsa at isangkalan ang sariling buhay para lang makilala ang ating bayan at probinsya. Sana naman ang mga “honorables” ay mabigyan ng kahit konting pansin ang taong may hugis pusong pagsasakripisyo, hindi iyong para sirain ang kanyang mga paghihirap para lamang maisalba ang kagandahan ng kanyang bayan. In working for our country’s development and progress, it is a sure thing that the government cannot do it alone. Everybody should work together. The government is said to be for the people, by the people and of the people. The people have to do their part to guarantee that the government will be what it should be.

Limang sangay ng pamahalaang nasyunal binigyan ng „Good Rating‟ ng CSC Ni Luis T. Cueto
LUNGSOD NG CALAPAN, (PIA) -- Pumasa sa pamantayan at nakakuha ng “Good” rating sa Anti-Red Tape Act Report Card Survey ng Civil Service Commission (CSC) ang limang sangay ng pamahalaang nasyunal sa lungsod. Sa report card survey na isinagawa ng CSC mula Enero hanggang Disyembre noong 2012, napabilang sa 35 ahensya at tanggapan na nabigyan ng good rating ang Revenue District Office 63 ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Social Security System (SSS) at Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) na nakabase sa lungsod ng Calapan. Isinagawa ng CSC ang survey alinsunod sa pagpapatupad ng Republic Act No. 9485 o mas kilala bilang Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007. Ang RA 9485 o “An Act to Improve Efficiency in the Delivery of Government Service to the Public by Reducing Bureaucratic Red Tape, Preventing Graft and Corruption and Providing Penalties Therefore” ay naipasa sa Thirteenth Congress noong 2007 upang maitiyak ang tapat, maayos, bukas, responsable at malinis na paglilingkod sa lahat ng tanggapan ng pamahalaan. Nakasaad din sa Section 5 ng nasabing batas na ang lahat ng ahensya ng pamahalaan, kasama ang mga departmento, sangay, tanggapan, government-owned/ controlled corporations at maging ang mga pamahalaang lokal, ay kailangang magkaroon ng pamantayan ng pagseserbisyo na nakapaloob sa Citizen’s Charter. Ang charter ay naglalaman rin ng mga impormasyon tulad ng kung paano makakuha ng serbisyo, ang oras na kailangang makuha ito, mga dokumentong kailangan, ang halaga ng babayaran at paraan kung paano makapagpapaabot ng reklamo o suhestyon sa ahensya o tanggapan. Ang charter ay dapat na nakalagay sa main entrance o istratehikong lugar ng ahensya o tanggapan. Samantala, ang pamahalaang panlalawigan ay nakabuo na ng Citizen’s Charter noon pang 2011. Ayon kay Provincial Human Resource Management Officer Elisa O. Paala, ito ang pamantayang sinusunod ngayon para sa epektibo at maayos na serbisyo ng lahat ng tanggapan ng pamahalaan na mahigpit na itinatagubilin ni Gob. Alfonso V. Umali Jr. Nakalagay rin sa istratehikong lugar ang "Sumbungan ng Bayan" kung saan makikita ang mga hindi nararapat gawin ng mga kawani at opisyal ng pamahalaan at kung saan at paano maipararating ang anumang reklamo sa mga kinauukulan.

From page 2... In the cited May 14, 2013 resolution of the Comelec En Banc, the poll body issued a resolution denying with finality the motion for reconsideration of Reyes. She filed the said motion in connection with the March 27, 2013 resolution of the Comelec En Banc, which declared that she is a US citizen and ineligible for the contested post. Reyes allegedly admitted that she did not avail of Republic Act 9225 to reacquire her Filipino citizenship. The poll body also brushed aside Reyes’ claim that she is a dual citizen of the Philippines and the US because of her previous marriage with a certain Saturnino Ador Dionisio. She claimed that, she acquired her US citizenship by virtue of her marriage to a US citizen. Reyes, however, denied having undergone naturalization. Her arguments failed to convince the Comelec En Banc, which eventually ruled that she was not able to present any legal or factual bases for her position. The case stemmed from a petition filed by Joseph Tan to deny due course to or cancel Reyes’ certificate of candidacy on the basis of several false representations made by Reyes in her certificate of candidacy. The petition stated that Reyes intentionally withheld the fact that she is single, a natural-born Filipino citizen, and a resident of Boac, Marinduque. The poll body pointed out that Reyes is a US citizen and relied on the certificate issued by the Bureau of Immigration detailing Reyes’ use of a US passport since 2005. Velasco is the son of Supreme Court Associate Justice Presbiterio Velasco Jr. while Reyes is the daughter of incumbent Gov. Carmencita Reyes of Marinduque and the sister of Toll Regulatory Board head Edmundo Reyes Jr.

Pagbibigay ng mga serbisyong panlipunan, ipinagpapatuloy ng PSWDO By Orlan C. Jabagat
LUNGSOD NG PUERTO PRINCESA, Palawan, (PIA) -- Iniulat ng Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) noong Lunes na patuloy ang pagbibigay nila ng mga serbisyong panlipunan sa lalawigan. Ayon kay PSWDO Officer Apolonia Y. David, ilan sa kanilang mga serbisyo na naisakatuparan ay ang pagtugon sa mahigit 700 indibidwal na nangangailangan ng tulong medikal, pagpapalibing, food assistance at referrals sa iba pang ahensiya, gobyerno man o pribado. Nakapagsagawa rin ng akreditasyon ng mga day care workers at centers sa mga barangay ng Sofronio Española at Brooke’s Point. Nagkaroon din ng oryentasyon at pagsasanay patungkol sa Accreditation Tools for Day Care Workers sa mga bayan ng Bataraza, El Nido at Busuanga sa ilalim ng Basic Sector Development and Community Based Project. Sa ilalim naman ng Livelihood Assistance Program, umabot sa 100 pamilya ang nabiyayaan ng tulong puhunan at livelihood pushcarts sa mga bayan ng El Nido, San Vicente, Roxas, Aborlan, Narra, Española, Quezon, Rizal, Brooke’s Point at Bataraza. Ang programang ito ay bilang pagsuporta sa employment component ng "HEAT is on program" ng pamahalaang panlalawigan. Regular din ang pag-iimbentaryo ng mga food packs na inihahanda ng PSWDO para sa relief operations kung sakaling magkaroon ng kalamidad sa lalawigan. Ayon pa rin sa ulat ng ahensya, umabot na sa kabuuang 133 mga bata ang naserbisyuhan ng Batang Masigla Learning Center simula nang ito ay binuksan noong taong 2010 sa Kapitolyo. Ang Batang Masigla Center ay binuksan bilang katugunan sa Executive Order No. 340 na naguutos sa mga ahensiya ng pamahalaan na maglagay ng day care service sa mga anak ng empleyado na may edad limang-taong gulang pababa. Ani David, kasalukuyang ipinagpapatuloy ng kanilang tanggapan ang akredistasyon ng day care centers gamit ang bagong accreditation tool ng Department of Social Welfare and Development upang masiguro ang kalidad ng serbisyo sa mga batang Palaweño. Gayon din ang pagsustini ng responsible parenthood class na nakapaloob sa Family Development session para sa mga benepisyaryo ng Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program o 4Ps program.
