Prominent family behind other corruption in other govt offices, rise in commodity prices? Beehive of anti-people crimes?

A fugitive congressman tagged in flood control anomalies has come out with 5th video alleging:

    1 There are other corruption and money being delivered to the Chief involving   BOC and  sugar

        also amounting to billions;

    2. That the inlaws control vegetable trade

    3. That the wife controls rice and onion trade

When the congressional inquiry is started vs these activities, the family can order these to be stopped as alleged.  

Just one family causing all these troubles and we all helped him get all these powers to govern incorrectly

Three generation of Tibs.  Prominent famous families are tibs?

Dont we think these are too much and must end, and the family must cease to be on top of this nation?

On the other had we must be circumspect if these are true.   The fugitive ex congressman could be desperate too.  

No wonder the Left (and Trillanes) are criticizing and opposing the country's top leader

Unfulfilled Administration promises from Manila Times

From Inq- Unfulfilled Election promises

It seems that the enthusiasm behind the  country's top leadership has waned despite high ratings in the country's survey.  No wonder the honeymoon of the administration with the Left is over, and there is no love lost between the leadership and Sen. Sonny Trillanes.  Many are thankful that Trillanes is there because otherwise, the top leader is unstoppable in his ways.

Direction going haywire

The direction of the administration has seem to have gone haywire with many of the promises unfulfilled:  the horrendous traffic, crimes (still abound -  pinasok ng baklas rehas ang bahay namin a  mere 80 meters away from the Police Station) marami pang snatchers at non drug related killings

Integrity issues hanging

And there seem to be credibility and integrity issues hanging in the air with regards to Trillanes rift, and the members of the first family wealth, connection with the big time drug lords, the BOC connection

Errors in decision making/knowledge

The top honcho must have made some shooting from the hip, lack of consultation/nor knowledge of the system when he made the promises.  Some how he got the votes when the carrots were dangled:

       1.  Increasing doubling the salaries of soldiers

       2.  SSS pension increase.  This would break the SSS.  Now to make the SSS viable, the contributions  have to be increased and there are objections from the employers and employees

       These are possible if the tax reforms are in place.   And so with scholarship at SUC.   There are no funds yet.   Decide and think and solve the possible problems later?

      The administration seem to facing a lot of challenges in having the tax reform bill passed.

     One might surmise that the  way govt is spending money,  the  finances are in big deficit now.

     Some advance the criticsm that the way the country is being run, is as if it is Davao City

Trapo din

The current leadership is not much different from other adminstrators who give favors to parties who supported the elections campaign and funding, the kababayan and friends family members given preferences.   And who can say for sure that corruption has stopped:   at BOC, at DPWH, at BIR

And making the govt a center of Mindanao folks and even making Davao  City the center of the country

Many were  suckered in with pictures and promise of brighter tomorrow which will never come

Pikon and revengeful

Some  parties, the big media companies which draw the ire of the top honchos are allegedly soundly rebuked and subjected to harassment.  As in the case of Mile Long property of the Prieto.   Prieto owns the Inq which is critical of the leadership

Hair raising scenarios

About a revolutionary government about nationwide martial law?

The right leader, the right change for our country will not come yet as of now.

As of now, we can only pray that the current leadership can be more and do more, and rise about pettiness and traditional politics  so that he will carve out a name for himself in the Philippine history

                                           DC Councilor Small Abellera

Sens Richard Gordon and  Trillanes had a heated argument yesterday at the Senate hearing on BOC involvement in shipment of P6.4 billion worth of shabu allegedly facilitated by the Davao group.   Trillanes wants to summon VM Paolo Duterte, and Mans Carpio, as the Senate had summoned  Councilor Small Abellera.  This were due to the testimony of BOC facilitator  Mark Taguba before the Senate where he mentioned the Davao group and the names of Tia Nanie, Mars Carpio (the husband of the DC Mayor).  Sen Dick Gordon would have none of  the Trillanes request, in the absence of documentary evidence (he is right from the lawyer point of view)

Who is suspending judgment here?   Sen Gordon or Trillanes?   Let us grill them first before we say they are not involved.

Now Mark Taguba retracted his statement, saying that all is based on hearsay:  despite the ff:

  From GMA news, Taguba retracts, clears name of DU30 son in law from BOC anomalies

      1.  Text messages between him and the Davao group personality

      2.  His alleged meeting with Small Abellera and payment of millions of pesos for alleged enrollment fee.

We cant tell for sure who is telling the truth but the fact is it stinks at BOC, and is dirtying the DU30 reputation and we certainly doubt his sincerity to rid the country of corruption, after Faeldon, looked from every angle being very much sucked into corruption.  (He would rather be jailed rather than testify)

One wonders too about the truth in the statement of CPP Head Jo Ma Sison that the biggest drug lord sits at the highest post in the govt.

But Sen. Lacson mentioned the Davao group in his privileged speech.

I can testify that corruption from my personal experience that corruption is very much alive and rampant at the LGU level.  Blame the empowerment thing from local govt code

From CNN Senate probe into P6.4 billion worth of shabu that passed through BOC

Several senators have expressed frustration and suspicion of outright lying, negligence incompetence and corruption at BOC in collusion with the Chinese businessmen..   The said Chinese had made fools out of the solons, BOC officials and general public.  Here is a crime committed, the drugs are here, there was importation, and yet there is no suspect yet.  The shabu traders taking advantage of the weakness of the customs procedure and systems were able to bring in drugs right under the  very noses of the BOC officials (with their complicity).   Up to now, the drug lords and unidentified.  PDEA has filed a case vs a caretaker Valenzuela RTC.   Here are the weaknesses:


1.  Allowing consignees to import.   A certain Aileen Tatad  of EMT traidingwas a consignee, paid P1,500 per shipment,  How come this allowed?   The consignee does not even know what the shipments are.  Very clearly, BOC allows dummies so that at the end of the day, no one can be held liable.  Turu turuan lang;

2.  The consignee points out to the  broker as the one responsible and knows the details of the shipment

3.  EMT trading a new importer was able to bring in 600 shipments in a matter of  3 months;

4.  She was put in super green lane, a lane reserved to big time multi national importers.  The BOC officials keep on saying that the computer overlooks certain parameters, as if computers think on their own (as noted by Sen Sonny Angara).  Every body knows that the parameters are fed by the encoders or whoever manages the computer

5.  Taguba,, the broker, did not deliver the goods to the consignee whose office is in Binondo but to the Valenzuela warehouse

He also reveals that he pays P27,000 per shipment at BOC as Payola

6.   When customs raided the warehouse, the head of intelligence only had a Letter of Authority, not a search warrant, and the evidence found may be considered illegal and may not stand in court

6.  Up to now 2 months after the raid, no one has been charged.

Also Mr. Richard Tan, who says that the operations  was all ready stopped, was alleged to continue operations even after they were alleged to have been closed by City of Valenzuela  (The Chinese nationals who are there seemed to be having a lot of fun (sa pagbilog ng mga ulo natin. They and BOC officials had a fine day)

Sen Escudero, notes NBI PDEA BOC have not not charged anyone for 600 kgs of shabu, but only several sachets of shabu would merit a gun fight or death.  Why are those govt agencies too timid to file charges?   Why not file case vs the warehouse owner?   Are they getting paid not to file a case, to look theother wahy around

Several reforms are in order:

1.   The use of consignees

2.  The 4 lanes and their parameters

3  The payment of P27,000. per shipment.   Sen Escudero computed that raising the tax per container up by P27,000 could easily raise P98 billion in revenues.    And save many people from additional taxes on fuel, or sugar.

Why was EMT trading a single prop, a primapara allowed to import on green lane?

From Inquirer - Customs official blamed for P6 billion worth of Shabu imported from Chna

The 700 kg shabu worth about P6 billion were imported through customs legally, via the green lane.  Why was it possible.  It turned out the culprit is the computer system which when given parameter would be allowed to pass through:

            Green lane -   no inspection

            Yellow lane  -  examination of documents

            Red lane -  opening of the container and 100 inspection

A customs official, presumably in charge of the IT hypothesized that the system can be defeated and they may be more such shipment.  But the senators who are incisive and sharp raised the question:  (Trying to pull wool over the senators eyes?

     1.  Were the parameters observed?

     2.  How could a single prop company, no history of importation allowed to use the green lane

     3.  Why were they continued to allow importation even after they were discovered

As for Com Faeldon who deserve our highest respect, he was negligent in suspending Atty Hilario, who was even allowed to tweak the data for EMT.  And yet they could not make him appear in this hearing.  It appears that he was not served written suspension

Do we agree with the senators, while Faeldon owns the responsibility that either:   they are incompetent or corrupt

                                                 Tops ata BOC

I met a cousin, the 2nd eldest son of an uncle whose remains were inured today at Sta Clara Montelfaco in Pasig.  He happened to complain about the corruption in the business he is in:  logistics and brokerage.  As far as he knows there is no tuwid na daan in customs.  And the current head of none could be a greater example than the current customs chief.  All is a fair game even even for domestic shippers.

He remembers being collared for a P200t grease money to facilitate the release of a shipment for a multinational which was later reduced to only P100t  (to whom does this go?  The PC of course)

He is aware how the online business that relies on courier are being wiped out by these crooks at Philpost and Customs.

Getting an import license is one of the worst thing that can happen to you.  It is syndicate beginning with BIR.   See how they fleece you.

There are rumors that the department that handles money and the one who runs the bureau are in cohoots.  And that their family are linked to drug syndicate.   And not far behind FG in terms of wealth and power.  And who can stop these politcal-drug lords (we have one in our province) except the rep from hell:  Who?  Ang tuwid na daan?

So will he/uou vote for Duterte?  Does he think Duterte (whom they call Dutirti because they are dirti) can kill the shenigans at BOC?    Well his mom is from CDO, and he prefers to live and do business in Mindanao and Davao.

If Digong gets elected, can he fix the customs and make things easier for brokers, importers and others.  He said he can.  Will take note of that

Revamp in Bureau of Customs delays logistics of businessmen and exporters

Social and political criticisms

From Interaksyon | October 3, 2013

                         

The repost mentions that the problem at the appointment/transfer of collectors at the Bureau of Customs is delaying the shipment of goods of businessmen. (and possibly affecting their production, sales and export.)

Our installation of a renewable energy package has been delayed for two weeks now and when we confronted the contractor, he gave us this news, that his shipment of the major components could not be shipped from China because of the current difficulties at the Bureau of Customs:   transfer of collectors, TRO vs the transfer.  There were also changes in the acceditation/licensing of importers from BOC to BIR

We had the same problem with low energy LED lamps:  they have no stocks because of the problem with BOC

How can these public servants make the "tuwid na daan ni Pinoy bako bako at putol-putol"   How can they upset the progress we have made so far in the economy.  How selfish can these collectors get?
