COMMITTEE MEETINGS MEASURES COMMITTEE PRINCIPAL SUBJECT MATTER ACTION TAKEN/DISCUSSION NO. AUTHOR Agrarian Reform HR 1889 Rep. Guanlao Inquiry into the alleged anomalies and The Committee, presided by its Vice Chair irregularities in the issuance of conversion Rep. Noel Villanueva (3rd District, Tarlac), orders for the establishment of a steel suspended its deliberations on HR 1889 until a rolling plant on a 16-hectare agricultural decision on a petition for revocation of the land land in Barangay Parulan, Plaridel, conversion orders filed with the Department of Bulacan Agrarian Reform (DAR) Region III has been made. Rep. Villanueva said there are two major issues that surfaced relevant to HR 1889: whether the land conversion orders issued by DAR to at least four companies covering a 16- hectare agricultural land in Parulan are valid, legal and in conformity to the conversion rules set by DAR itself; and whether the land conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural use conforms to the land use plan of the Municipality of Plaridel in Bulacan. DAR Undersecretary Luis Pangulayan explained the process, criteria, applicable laws and policies, and authority of DAR on the conversion of agricultural lands into industrial lands. Continuation… Sangguniang Bayan member Jeffrey Ryan Agrarian Reform Tantingco, who is the chairperson of the Committee on Land Use of the local legislative body of Plaridel, Bulacan, said the application for land conversion of the Asian Land Strategies Corporation (ALSC) was approved by the Sangguniang Bayan in 2014 and that the land conversion conforms to the land use plan of Bulacan. Teodorico Lacia, vice president of Kalikasang Dalisay para sa Mamamayan ng Plaridel (KaDaMay Plaridel), strongly opposed the establishment of a steel plant in Barangay Parulan arguing that it is not technically and legally feasible. He stressed that the steel plant, aside from being a heavy polluting industry, is situated on a vast stretch of prime agricultural land with a main irrigation canal. KaDaMay Plaridel filed a petition for the revocation of the said land conversion orders with the DAR. Antonio Lorenzana, chief operating officer of Steel Asia, assured the Committee and the stakeholders present during the meeting that the company will comply with all government requirements prior to the establishment of the steel plant in Plaridel.

Castelo, author of HR 560, said that to homeless family beneficiaries ease the burden of socialized housing beneficiaries in the payment of their loans, the NHA should not impose any interest on the loans made through the Local Housing Fund. NHA assistant general manager Froilan Kampitan supports the proposal to include party-list representatives in the coverage of the LHP. However, he said, while the housing component of the LHP cannot be provided for free, the interest on socialized housing loans using the Local Housing Fund can be reduced and that common facilities can be made available free of charge. 2 Continuation… Rep. Julieta Cortuna (Party-List, A Housing and TEACHER), who took over as presiding officer Urban when Rep. Castelo’s resolution was Development deliberated on, asked about the status of the P3 billion earmarked for the LHP, citing Rep. Pizarro’s statement that only about P1 billion was released so far. Kampitan explained that the NHA always includes the remaining balance of the allocation in its budget proposal every year but the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) does not release the remaining funds unless the NHA fully utilizes all the funds released to it. Rep. Agapito Guanlao (Party-list, BUTIL) asked the NHA to come up with a template that will guide district and party-list representatives in accessing the Local Housing Fund.

    TAMBULI Weekly Newsletter The Official e-Newsletter of the Federation of Philippine Industries Volume 15 Issue No. 09 04 March 2011 ______________________________________________________________________________________ FPI SUPPORTS CONFIRMATION OF FINANCE SECRETARY PURISIMA BY THE COMMISSION ON APPOINTMENTS The Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI) is strongly supporting the confirmation of Hon. Cesar V. Purisima as Secretary of the Department of Finance. FPI Chairman Jesus Lim Arranza said “Secretary Purisima is very much qualified and competent as he had previously held the positions Finance Secretary and Trade and Industry Secretary under the previous administration.” Arranza also pointed out that Purisima is well versed in tax and revenue laws, rules and regulations having had a long stint as partner of SGV & Co. Arranza who is concurrently also the Chairman of the FPI Anti-Smuggling Committee stressed that it is only under the current leadership of Sec. Purisima that the Bureau of Customs (BOC) headed by Commissioner Angelito A. Alvarez is closely coordinating with the private stakeholders particularly the Federation in the government’s drive against smuggling. He also pointed out that government was able to slap PhP100 million deficiency duties and VAT against one of the 4 importers suspected of grossly undervalued palm oil. These four companies are now being audited by the BOC’s Post Entry Audit Group (PEAG) led by Atty. Jun Ligon and their importations are now being monitored, Arranza said. “The discovery of large scale ‘technical smuggling’ on the part of these scrupulous palm oil importers was due to the strong partnership of the Federation and the BOC”, Arranza said Arranza added that while the CIIF Oil Mills Group which he heads has imported and declared imported palm oil products at US$1,300/MT, these scrupulous 4 companies declared their importations at only between US$200 to US$300/MT or a difference of US$1,100.

Tupay Loong (1st District, Sulu), approved and adopted its Rules of Procedure for the 16th Congress. During the meeting, the Committee discussed the issue raised by Tawi-Tawi Rep. Ruby Sahali concerning the insufficient P3.8 billion budget earmarked for the rehabilitation of Zamboanga City under the proposed supplemental budget of the national government. Rep. Sahali said that the amount being allocated is extremely inadequate to fully rehabilitate and reconstruct the basic social and economic infrastructures in the four barangays severely damaged when members of the Misuari-led faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) occupied parts of Zamboanga City. She called on the Committee to make representations with the leadership to specifically include additional funds for the purchase of a portion of land known as “Arena Blanco” in Zamboanga City primarily for the benefit of families affected by the armed conflict. The Committee agreed to prepare and submit a manifestation seeking to increase the funds earmarked in the proposed supplemental budget for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Zamboanga City. Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. (4th District, Quezon City) filed HB 34223 which seeks to appropriate P14.6 billion as supplemental appropriations for the FY 2013 to boost funding for the rehabilitation of calamity stricken areas. The said fund will be drawn from the unused Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) for 2013.

  • Police Vigilantism in the Philippines
    PRIF Report No. 142 „If they resist, kill them all“: Police Vigilantism in the Philippines Peter Kreuzer the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2016 Correspondence to: PRIF Baseler Str. 27–31 D-60329 Frankfurt am Main Telephone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-Mail: [email protected] Website: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-946459-11-8 € 10.00 Summary In May of 2016, Rodrigo Duterte was elected President of the Philippines and inaugurated into office on June 30. During the election campaign he was already focusing on ridding the country of drug-related crime and indicated his willingness to tolerate, if not support, the killing of suspects by the police. After entering office, he officially launched a compre- hensive campaign against drug-related crime that has since cost the lives of several thou- sand suspects. While anonymous vigilantes are responsible for a significant share, if not the majority of these extralegal killings, in four months the police killed more than 1,000 suspects in so-called “legitimate encounters” that were justified as actions carried out in self-defense. This report then looks at a vastly under-researched phenomenon: extrajudicial police vigilantism involving killings by on-duty police officers that are masked as “legitimate encounters” with criminals. It argues that, while the Philippines have a strong tradition of death-squad killings, this has been complemented for a long time by a practice of “social cleansing” that did not make it necessary for agents of the state to deny complicity: official police vigilantism.
