  • Philhealth Officials Not Yet Off the Hook — DOJ
    Headline PhilHealth officials not yet off the hook — DOJ MediaTitle Philippine Star(www.philstar.com) Date 14 Jun 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 1 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily PhilHealth officials not yet off the hook — DOJ MANILA, Philippines — Officials of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) are not yet off the hook in the allegedly anomalous payment of claims benefits to “ghost” patients of a dialysis treatment center, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said yesterday. Guevara said the resignation of PhilHealth board members earlier this week did not clear them of possible liabilities for the controversy that reportedly cost the government P100 billion. He said the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is now looking into the criminal liabilities of the PhilHealth executives. “The NBI is looking into the possibility that certain PhilHealth officials may be charged for violation of the Anti-Graft Law if they knowingly participated in this allegedly fraudulent scheme and benefitted from it,” Guevarra said. After meeting with President Duterte earlier this week, PhilHealth officials led by president and chief executive officer Roy Ferrer tendered their courtesy resignations. The six other officials who resigned were Jack Arroyo, elected local chief executive; Rex Maria Mendoza, independent director of the Monetary Board; Hildegardes Dineros of the information economy sector; Celestina Ma. Jude dela Serna of the Filipino overseas workers sector; Roberto Salvador of the formal economy sector and Joan Cristine Reina Liban-Lareza of the health care provider sector. The NBI filed charges of estafa and falsification of documents against officers of WellMed Dialysis and Laboratory Center led by its owner Bryan Sy before the Department of Justice (DOJ) earlier this week.

  • Social Climate/Column for Phil Daily Inquirer
    “What’s the latest?” Page 1 of 3 Column for Philippine Daily Inquirer PDI 09-02, 1-09-08 [for publication on 1-10-2008] “What’s the latest?” Mahar Mangahas Right after greeting me Happy New Year, the most common next question of friends and acquaintances is “What’s the latest?” referring, most of all, to prospects for the next national election in 2010, according to the SWS surveys. I tell them that the survey leaders are a cluster of three, namely Noli de Castro, Manny Villar, and Loren Legarda, and then refer them to the SWS website, since I can’t remember so many numbers, all the more as another year passes by. Anyway, for the nth time, last November 7th SWS reported the finding of its September 2008 survey that the top answers to the question on persons who would be good (magaling) successors of Pres. Arroyo as President, with up to three names accepted, were – with percentages in parentheses -- de Castro (29), Villar (28), Legarda (26), Panfilo Lacson (17), Francis Escudero (16), Joseph Estrada (13), and Mar Roxas (13). All others, including Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Bayani Fernando, Antonio Trillanes et al., got one percent or less. In short, the aspirants cluster into three groups: the top three, then a group of four at least 9 points away, and then everyone else. To be fair to all possible aspirants, no list of names was provided to prompt the respondents. As a result, we discover that some Filipinos favor the return of GMA or Erap in 2010, and some favor Trillanes, though he would not yet be 40 years old by then.

City steps in to help BWD on illegal deep well problem AGUIO CITY – Outgoing Mayor Mauricio Domogan on BMay 14 directed the City Engineering Office to stop the construction of deep wells that have no excavation permits in the city. In Memorandum No. 108 series of 2019 to City Engineer Edgar Victorio Olpindo, the mayor said the Baguio Water District had raised concern over the proliferation of private deep wells that causes the city’s groundwater supply to dwindle. “Considering the seriousness of the said concern because of its effect, you are hereby directed to stop the construction of deep wells that have no excavation permit,” the mayor noted. Domogan’s move intends to help the BWD address the growing problem on illegal deep wells in the city over which the department admitted its powerlessness. “BWD can only do so much to protect its existing water sources and cannot impose sanction/s on private deep well owners considering that pursuant to Presidential Decree No.

  • 'Sin' Tax Bill up for Crucial Vote
    Headline ‘Sin’ tax bill up for crucial vote MediaTitle Manila Standard Philippines (www.thestandard.com.ph) Date 03 Jun 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 6 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily ‘Sin’ tax bill up for crucial vote Advocates of a law raising taxes on cigarettes worried that heavy lobbying by tobacco companies over the weekend could affect the vote in the Senate Monday. Former Philhealth director Anthony Leachon and UP College of Medicine faculty member Antonio Dans said a failure of the bill to pass muster would deprive the government’s Universal Health Care program of funding. “Definitely, the lobbying can affect how our senators will behave... how they will vote,” said Leachon, also chairman of the Council of Past Presidents of the Philippine College of Physicians. But Leachon and Dans said they remained confident that senators who supported the sin tax law in 2012 would support the new round of increases on cigarette taxes. These were Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, Senators Panfilo Lacson, Francis Pangilinan, Antonio Trillanes IV and re-elected Senator Aquilino Pimentel III. They are also hopeful that the incumbent senators who voted against the increase in the excise taxes on cigarettes in 2012—Senate President Vicente Sotto III, Senate Pro Tempore Ralph Rectp and outgoing Senators Francis Escudero and Gregorio Honasan—would have a change of heart. While Pimentel, who ran in the last midterm elections, supported the increase in tobacco taxes in 2012, he did not sign Senator Juan Edgardo Angara’s committee report, saying the bill should be properly scrutinized as it might result in the death of the tobacco industry.

  • Senatoriables and the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill Claim
    Ateneo FactCheck 2013 Fourth Brief Fact Check: Senatoriables and the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill Claim: Candidates, who are members of political dynasties, will not champion or will not support an anti-political dynasty bill in Congress; while candidates, who are NOT members of any political dynasty, are expected to champion and support an anti-dynasty bill. Fact checked: The 1987 Constitution prohibits political dynasties but left it to Congress to enact an enabling anti-political dynasty law. Exactly 26 years after the constitution was enacted and despite several attempts, no such law has been passed by either chamber of Congress. All versions of the bill have not even gone way past the committee level for second reading. Now that the 2013 midterm election is coming, what is to be expected from at least the top 20 candidates vying for a seat in the Senate? While an exact definition is still elusive, it is liberally accepted that political dynasties are those candidates who have more than one family member in any elective public position or are running for elective positions and holding such position for several terms before passing it on to either the immediate or extended family members. Generally the top 20 candidates for the Senate, according to major survey outfits, are dominated by members of well-known political dynasties. Exactly 13 out of the 20 are members of dynasties, namely: Sonny Angara, Bam Aquino, Nancy Binay, Alan Cayetano, Ting-Ting Cojuangco, JV Ejercito, Jack Enrile, Chiz Escudero, Dick Gordon, Ernesto Maceda, Jun Magsaysay, Cynthia Villar and Mig Zubiri. Except for newcomers like Bam Aquino and Nancy Binay, most candidates are veteran or experienced politicians in Congress.

  • TIMELINE: the ABS-CBN Franchise Renewal Saga
    TIMELINE: The ABS-CBN franchise renewal saga Published 4 days ago on July 10, 2020 05:40 PM By TDT ​ Embattled broadcast giant ABS-CBN Corporation is now facing its biggest challenge yet as the House Committee on Legislative Franchises has rejected the application for a new broadcast franchise. The committee voted 70-11 in favor of junking ABS-CBN’s application for a franchise which dashed the hopes of the network to return to air. Here are the key events in the broadcast giant’s saga for a franchise renewal: 30 March, 1995 Republic Act 7966 or otherwise known as an act granting the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation a franchise to construct, install, operate and maintain television and radio broadcasting stations in the Philippines granted the network its franchise until 4 May 2020. 11 September, 2014 House Bill 4997 was filed by Isabela Rep. Giorgidi Aggabao and there were some lapses at the committee level. 11 June, 2016 The network giant issued a statement in reaction to a newspaper report, saying that the company had applied for a new franchise in September 2014, but ABS-CBN said it withdrew the application “due to time constraints.” 5 May, 2016 A 30-second political ad showing children raising questions about then Presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte’s foul language was aired on ABS-CBN and it explained it was “duty-bound to air a legitimate ad” based on election rules. 6 May, 2016 Then Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s running mate Alan Peter Cayetano files a temporary restraining order in a Taguig court against the anti-Duterte political advertisement.

    ISSUE: 2018 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore |13 September 2018 Philippine Federalism’s Fortunate Falter Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • President Rodrigo Duterte came to office in June 2016 committed to transforming the Philippines into a federal state during his term. • Despite the submission in early July of the draft federal constitution by the president’s hand-picked Consultative Committee to Review the 1987 Constitution, the push for federalism is faltering. • It is unlikely that a federal political system will be introduced before the end of Duterte’s single-term presidency. • This likely failure is good for the Philippines. * Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2018 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 2 March 2016 in Dagupan City, Pangasinan, Rodrigo Duterte claimed that federalism was the centrepiece of his presidential election campaign.1 His surprise victory two months later as the standard-bearer for PDP-Laban, a party established in the early 1980s to promote a federal Philippines, meant that for the first time a presidential administration commenced with the central goal of transforming the Philippines from a unitary to a federal state.
