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.

Bohol's Che Delos Reyes Avoids Drug Test, Sparks Public Suspicision

by Sunday Post Bohol Gov. Chatto negative for drugs but where's Che? Is she a false accuser? Gov. Edgar Chatto has tested negative for illegal drugs or any dangerous substances in separate credible examinations to which his falsely accusing political opponent did not submit herself. Not even a shadow of gubernatorial contender and Carmen Mayor Conchita De los Reyes did turn up for the twin drug tests at the state hospital and police crime laboratories on Monday. Many thought should she refuse examination for reason she only could tell, her mere presence would have saved her from inexcusable flak for her own dangerous gimmick that the governor is "engaged in illegal drug activities." Both the laboratory analyses of the Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital (GCGMH) and Philippine National Police (PNP) Crime Laboratory at Camp Dagohoy proved Chatto to have not indulged in prohibited drugs. As a consequence, the moral authority and ascendancy of the reelectionist govern...

Workers’ Party of North Korea Kim Jong-un

First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of North Korea Kim Jong-un came out with two speeches at the party's plenary session here on Sunday. The session focused "on tasks the party faces in making a decisive turn in the process of accomplishing the Juche revolutionary course." The party's strategic priorities will embrace "reconstruction of the economy as well as a qualitative and numeric strengthening of nuclear delivery forces for self-defence purposes," the North Korean leader said at the session after visiting the mausoleums of his father Kim Jong-il and grandfather Kim Il-sun in Kumsusun Palace. He was accompanied by members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and of the Central National Defence Commission. North Korea "is not eager to use the nuclear weapons as goods for buying American dollars or as a bargaining tool for receiving humanitarian aid," he said. "W...

Panglao Island Environmental Problems

By Romy Teruel One environmental and tourism issue that will keep on cropping up unless decisive actions are done is the issue of easement along beaches as prescribed by the Water Code of the Philippines.  This has cropped up before and now it is here again.    The conference that Gov. Erico B. Aumentado held with the hotel and resort owners of Panglao and Dauis last Friday is an example of laws wanting in implementation. While the laws are clear and guidelines are prescribed, willing compliance has remained a problem.  The Water Code of the Philippines prescribes a 20-meter easement from the high water mark on the beach towards inland where no permanent structure can be constructed whatsoever.  We need not send experts however to know that compliance is more in the breach than observance.  This prompts observers to ask "What happened to Bohol's thrust on eco-tourism and environmental conservation and protection?"  And this is usually followed by "They are killing...
