An OPAPP five-year Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) for 2019 – 2023, a guiding strategy for planning and implementing new information communication and technology initiatives for OPAPP was drafted by the Information Communications and Technology Unit (ICTU). This will guide and inform decisions with a strategic view of the future of ICT systems and form an integral part of the organization’s future focus. This will continue to provide guidance for the information and technology direction of OPAPP on any changes to technology that are secure, stable and efficient. The ISSP for OPAPP will be refreshed accordingly since technology changes quickly. This will be reviewed yearly to ensure that OPAPP is on the right track doing ICT work and implementation. § Drafted, crafted and submitted ISSP to DICT last 28 June 2019 § Creation of OPAPP TWG for ISSP § Revision of the ISSP for the new OPAPP Organization Delivery and deployment of Microsoft Office 365. Office 365 is a line of subscription services offered by Microsoft that comes with premium apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access (Publisher and Access available on PC only). The apps can be installed on multiple devices, including PCs, Macs, iPads, iPhones, Android tablets and Android phones. Moreover, some 164 OPAPP personnel have been given licenses and official OPAPP Business emails: [username]@peace.gov.ph Financial Management Information System (NGAS system) NGAS is defined as the New Government Accounting System for Finance Unit developed in-house by former IT Head last FY 2001. OPAPP was one of the first agencies to have an NGAS system in compliance with accounting and auditing rules. It was revised three (3) times and was maintained by the IT office that provides solution and contionuously updates ythe program. NGAS is composed of 5 modules:1) Budget, 2) General Accounting, 3) Check, 4) GAM, 5) Reference Files. NGAS was a system developed to produce relevant financial information about the past and present transactions of the agency. It also gives financial reports pertaining to the results of operations of all OPAPP Units in accordance with COA rules. Also, there is the so-called a) ORS system which stands for Obligation Request and Status that is available for all OPAPP units; and b) BURS system which stands for Budget Utilization Request and Status which means that only the Budget Section of the Finance Unit is the end-user. These two (2) systems are maintained to record allotments and obligations that reflect the fund status of the agency. All the above applications are being managed and supported by ICTU. OPAPP’s Submission of the Proposed Budget for FY 2020 In compliance to National Budget Memorandum Circular No. 131 on the Budget Call for FY 2020, on 3 May 2019, the OPAPP submitted its proposed budget for FY 2020 amounting to PhP11,492,420,000 to the Depatment of Budget and Management (DBM). This covers Personnel Services, Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses particulartly on the technical advisory and support services on the comprehensive peace process program, locally funded project for the normalization program in the Bangsamoro, and the implementation of the PAMANA program 4. OPAPP and DBP sign MOU to manage funds for Conflict-Affected Areas Page 1 The OPAPP and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) signed on 10 August 2019 a Memorandum of Understanding that will enable OPAPP to further enhance the delivery of its socio- economic interventions to underdeveloped, conflict-affected areas. The MOU was forged in line with President Duterte’s directive to ensure the honest and prudent management of public funds intended for poor and conflict-vulnerable communities in Mindanao and other priority areas. The agreement is also in compliance with the President’s instructions for government financial institutions such as the Landbank and DBP to better serve the nation’s marginalized sectors and provide the much-needed financial services to “last-mile communities.” 5. Continuing streamlining of OPAPP business processes, updating of systems (including IT infrastructure and software and Finance and Administrative Services systems, conduct of QMS trainings) OPAPP continues to work on the streamlining of its business processes and systems through compliance and enhancement of various internal procedures such as the Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP), Budget and Treasury Management System (BTMS), and Monitoring and Evaluation system/s. The agency also continues to evaluate its programs, core functions, citizen’s charter, structure and other related areas in view of the planned Quality Management System (QMS) implementation. Orientations have been initiated on the QMS for various offices/units. OPAPP’s Submission of the Proposed Budget for FY 2020 OPAPP attended Congressional budget hearings and meetings within the month of September 2019 related to the agency’s FY 2020 budget proposal. The NEP for FY 2020 issued by the DBM only covered the agency’s regular funds for Maintrenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) and Personnel Services (PS). There was no budget allocation for Capital Outlay (CO). Moreover, the PAMANA budget allocation only indicated allotments for DSWD, NCIP, and PhilHealth. OPAPP submitted its FY 2020 budget proposal to Congress (both Senate and House of Representatives) appealing for the PAMANA budget allocation to cover continuing programs in support to the different peace processes and to address gaps in conflict-affected areas.

Roy A. Cimatu. File photo courtesy of Mrs. Fe’s colleagues in the AFP Generals’ Wives organization MANILA, Philippines — As the old saying “behind every successful man is a supportive woman” proves to be true, what more if she’s a strong-willed wife out to support her husband 100 percent? Mrs. Fe Aguillon-Cimatu, a supportive woman, was not always a shadow to her husband Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, a former general and chief-of-staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Fe would always be a woman who proved she can make a difference; she can make change. Fe, affectionately known as Ma’am Fe, was not just an ordinary housewife. She was the good woman of the house she built all through the years with her better half. Fe, a native of San Jose, Antique, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2021, leaving a big hole in the heart of the former general. Born on April 22, 1948, Fe was a very responsible and caring individual especially to her own family. She brought this wonderful trait to her marriage with Cimatu. Hands-on as she was known, Fe even took charge of their wedding. She was her own wedding planner. The then-general groom-to-be was still in Marawi for a military operation four days before their wedding date.

Just in the past two weeks, several homes and private offices were attacked by Duterte security forces. Dozens of individuals, including minors, were arrested and detained on spurious charges of illegal possession of firearms and explosives. A human rights defender from southern Philippines has been missing since 2 November. A labor leader was killed south of the capital Manila on 4 November. A radio broadcaster was killed in Negros island on 7 November. On 5 November, the Armed Forces of the Philippines revealed a new list of ’18 communist front organizations’ – a warning that they will be the next targets of intensified repression. Members and officials of activist organizations are constantly subjected to surveillance and death threats. The Duterte government calls its strategy the ‘whole-of-nation approach’ in order to end what it calls ‘the local communist armed conflict’. Instead of resolving the roots of the armed conflict however, it has instead targeted individuals and their groups ‘guilty’ of helping the poor and powerless. Spearheaded by murderous conspirators such as generals Hermogenes Esperon, Delfin Lorenzana, Eduardo Año and Carlito Galvez Jr., this strategy is doomed to fail.

    TIMELINE: JONAS BURGOS ABDUCTION April 28, 2007 Jonas Burgos was abducted at about 1:30 pm by 4 armed men and a woman in civilian clothes while having lunch at the Hapag Kainan Restaurant in Ever Gotesco Mall, Quezon City. He was alone and unarmed. A waitress who saw the forcible abduction positively identified Jonas from a picture shown to her. Jonas is a farmer who manages the family organic farm in Bulacan. Jonas has been giving technical training to members of the Alyansang Magbubukid ng Bulacan (Peasant Alliance of Bulacan), a local chapter of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP or Peasant Movement of the Phillipines), since 1999. the Philippine government and the Armed Forces of the Philippines have labeled the KMP a “front” organization for the Communist Party of the Philippines. May 2, 2007 Larry Marquez, a security guard on duty at Ever Gotesco Shopping Mall, from where Jonas was abducted, told police that Burgos was dragged by the suspects to a maroon Toyota Revo with plate number TAB 194, as Burgos shouted for help. May 2, 2007 The Burgos family files a missing person complaint with the Phillipine National Police (PNP). May 4, 2007 In an investigation by the Philippine National Police (PNP), and through the efforts of the family, the license plate number was traced to a vehicle that was in the custody of the 56th Infantry Battalion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Bulacan that was impounded from illegal loggers on June 24, 2006.
