No Revamp of Government Workers

Civil Service Commission (CSC) chairman Dr. Francisco Duque III on Wednesday assured rank-and-file government employees that there will be no major revamp when President-elect Benigno "Noynoy" C. Aquino III assumes office on July 1, 2010. 

Duque also said state workers in government controlled corporations (GOCCs) won't be affected.

"All assistant secretaries and directors with Career Executive Service Officer (CESO) rank as well as civil service eligibles and board passers employed in all government agencies won't be affected in the transition period," Duque told reporters in Quezon City.

He said only the Presidential appointees or co-terminus with incumbent President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo such as the Cabinet Secretaries, Undersecretaries, confidential rank-and-file employees including appointed directors and commissioners will have to end their term on June 30, 2010.

Also affected are contractual employees and those working as co-terminus consultants.

"On the status of the contractuals, they are subject for further evaluation. If they are civil service eligibles or board passers, they have a good chance of being absorbed as regular employees," Duque said.

Duque was at the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) main office in Quezon City to sign an agreement with BIR Commissioner Joel Tan-Torres for putting up a BIR-CSC Public Call Center starting July 1, 2010 ending on June 30, 2011.

For his part, Tan-Torres said the BIR-CSC Citizen's Helpline is a 24/7 contact center facility for providing a venue to address the concerns of the general public via voice call, short messaging system (SMS), fax, email or internet.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

U.S. economic data reacts to crude oil price

Crude prices rose on Thursday as U.S. economic data came in positive and continuing unrest in the Middle East caused supplies fears. Market sentiment was boosted after the Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product expanded at a 2.7 percent annual rate, much faster than 2.0 percent it estimated last month. It was the quickest quarterly growth rate since the fourth quarter of 2011, helped by faster inventory accumulation and export growth, which offset weak consumer spending and a drop in business investment. Meanwhile, a report from the Labor Department added to the upbeat tone. The report showed U.S. initial jobless claims declined 23,000 in the week ended Nov. 24 to 393,000, as effect of Hurricane Sandy faded. Pending home sales climbed 5.2 percent in October, surging to its highest level in more than five years, according to the National Association of Realtors. Traders were closely watching the situation in the Middle East, in particular the viole...

Obama is the richest man in the world

I hold you to the words you are writing. You blamed Bush for the balanced budget disappearing. I don't know if you are capable of holding a memory that happen yesterday. You have forgotten that Bush was a war President, two wars in his term; Katrina & Rita, three major hurricanes that destroyed Florida and the gulf coast, Annual fires ravaging California that dependent on Bush to declare those as disaster areas too. Then the Democrats protest any move by the Republican to reform the Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac because of policy created by Democrats on home buyers that had no income. Greenlining was opposed by Democrats. Bush fought the good wars, maintained the economy until Obama and his handlers created a hoax about worst economy, and unemployment in 5%. People like you believed his lies, about high debts in $500 billion and worst unemployment and depression since 1932!   In less than a year Obama committed $3 trillion debts, before his term is over projected to $27 trillion, ...
