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 ...

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...

How to Maintain Good Posture

SOME people walk gracefully while others slump.      You know something is wrong.When you  see a frumpy figure gazing  back at you in the mirror.     Good posture can change all   that. A woman striding confidently into a room with her shoulders  straight  and head held high has the ability to break hearts. A man standing straight-backed, with just the right tilt to his square chin, will stand out from the rest of the slumped party-goers.     Good posture is easy to attain.   The steps to proper posture are simple, and they begin with the stomach. The belly button should be pulled back into the spine,  sucked up into the lungs. The ribs, in turn, should be held lightly under a buoyant chest and shoulders that are back and relaxed. The collarbones should be down, while the chin is slightly lifted, creating long, swan-like neck.     The  feeling is of being pulled upward from a string attached to the top of your head, with the entire spine stretched and extended. And on top of this b...
