P723.6-B in automatic appro for 2012 already authorized by Congress

udget and Management Secretary Florencio B. Abad today said that expenditures already automatically appropriated totalling P723.6 billion or 39.8 percent of the proposed National Budget for 2012 have

already been previously authorized by Congress and need not be included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) that it will approve for 2012.

With this, such automatic

appropriations have not been

included in the National

Expenditure Plan (NEP), which is

the proposed form and content of

the General Appropriations Act

(GAA). But these have not been

“hidden,” as alleged by some, as

details on automatic appropriations

are in the Budget of Expenditures

and Sources of Financing (BESF).

“What Congress enacts

every year are the New General

Appropriations, which is composed

of Programmed New Appro-

priations amounting to P1.092

trillion and Unprogrammed

Appropriations worth P161.7

billion for 2012,” he said, noting

that the 2012 NEP follows the

format of the 2011 NEP that was

submitted to, and later on approved

by, Congress.

“Legislators can only

change the automatic nature of

these appropriations by amending

the specific laws that authorize

these. To do so via the GAA is a

rider and would be uncons-

titutional,” he said.

Abad further said that

automatic appropriations were not

included in the NEP in order to

avoid what happened in the

authorization of the 2010 Budget,

where Congress changed the

interest rate assumption to “lower”

interest payments. The reduction

was used to illegally increase the

NEP through some P60 billion in

Congressional initiatives, which

were eventually vetoed.

The share of automatic

appropriations in the 2012 budget

decreased by 3.5 percentage points

from last year’s amount which was

43.3 percent of the 2011 GAA.

For 2012, automatic

appropriations include Interest

Payments worth P333.1 billion

(46.0 percent of automatic

appropriations); Internal Revenue

Allotment of local government

units, P273.3 billion (37.8 percent);

customs duties and taxes, including

the Tax Expenditure Fund, P33.0

billion (4.6 percent); Special

Accounts, P26.8 billion (3.7

percent), Retirement and Life

Insurance Premiums, P23.3 billion

(3.2 percent); and Net Lending,

P23.0 billion (3.2 percent).

“This administration is

committed to transparency and

accountability, and that is why all

appropriations—whether automatic

or general appropriations—are all

indicated in the budget books we

have submitted to Congress,” he

said.

Malacañang says investigation on alleged poll fraud in 2007 senatorial elections will continue

he investigation on the alleged massive fraud in the 2007 senatorial elections will continue despite the resignation of Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri from the

Senate on Wednesday, Malacañang said.

“Hindi naman po titigil

‘yung imbestigasyon dahil lang po

nag-resign si Senator Zubiri ,while

that was a very welcome move,”

Deputy Spokesperson Abigail

Valte said during the regular press

briefing on Thursday in

Malacañang.

“We always say that

resignation is dependent on the

person holding the office at

nagsalita na po ang DOJ

(Department of Justice), itutuloy po

nila ‘yung imbestigasyon,” Valte

stressed.

Zubiri stepped down from

the Senate following the allegations

that he benefited from the alleged

massive fraud in 2007 elections.

The former senator, however,

insisted that he won in the 2007

senatorialrace.

Malacañang had earlier

welcomed the resignation of Zubiri,

describing the former senator’s

decision as “an act of

statesmanship.” The Palace

expressed hope that the former

senator will contribute to electoral

reforms.

“We think it’s an act of

statesmanship on his part. But we

have gone further to say that it is

our hope that

he will contribute to the electoral

reform that we so sorely need,”

Valte said.

As to what will happen to

the position in the Senate vacated

by Zubiri, Valte said that it is

entirely dependent on the Senate

Electoral Tribunal (SET).

Following his resignation,

Zubiri announced Thursday that he

will no longer pursue his counter

election protest against lawyer

Aquilino Pimentel III over the

results of the senatorial elections in

2007.

Aquino honors 2011 awardees of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines

resident Benigno Aquino III congratulated this year’s awardees of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) saying the Filipino nation has

high hopes on them for their contribution to nation building.

“We have the highest

hopes for all of you here today,

finalists and awardees alike. For

everything you have already

achieved, allow me to give you my

most heartfelt congratulations,” the

Chief Executive said in a speech

delivered for him by Executive

Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. during

simple awarding ceremonies in

Malacañang on Thursday.

The President also assured

that under his leadership there will

be good governance that creates

renewed hope for a better future for

everyone. Filipinos, he said,

especially the young people, will

no longer opt to go abroad because

of better opportunity created

locally.The country has started to

see positive results of the reform

measures initiated under the new

leadership, the President said.These

reform measures prevent and

decisively address corruption in the

bureaucracy and have promoted a

culture of transparency and

accountability in government

service, he added.

“Through good gover-

nance and a clear blueprint for

national development that will

produce more jobs in the coming

years, we are slowly turning

working abroad as an option,

instead of the necessity it has

become for some of those who

want to attain better lives,” he

said.This year’s TOSP awardees

are role models for the rest of the

country’s youth, the future leaders

of the country who will contribute

immensely to moving the country

forward, the President stressed.At

the same time the President

expressed his gratitude to the

people behind the TOSP awards for

their continuing efforts to celebrate

the youth’s contribution to nation

building.The recipients of this

News Feature: Aurora farmers now proud land-owners by David M. Suyao

AURORA, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur (August 5) – Some 125 farmers here are now proud to be called land owners of the land they till, after receiving their official land titles from Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza as concrete proof of ownership.

Bearing a happy and face

when he embarked from his service

car, Gov. Plaza was met by

Barangay Captain Rodolfo Obguia

and hundreds of Barangay Aurora

officials and residents. But what

catches more of the Governor’s

attention is the number of children

who cheers when they saw the

governor.

“As I recall, the last time

I visited you here in Barangay

Aurora was in 2006. But I only see

a little number of children. Now, I

can’t believe the number of

children I saw here! I have been in

almost all barangays in the

province but your barangay is one

of the most children-populated

barangays in Agusan del Sur,”

Gov. Plaza said.

According to Gov. Plaza,

it is normal that remote rural areas

are expected to bear more children

compared to urban areas, but

couples should control themselves

in order control the population.

“It is not a joke to have

plenty of children to nurture and

prepare their bright future. So I

appeal to all of the couples here to

control yourselves in order to

control the rapid population of

children in your barangay.

For those children who are

in school, do your best to excel in

you studies, because your

provincial government is granting

scholarship to deserving students.

What you have to do is pass the

requirements, and you will enjoy

free college education for a better

future,” Gov. Plaza said.

Going back to the

distribution of land titles, Gov.

Plaza said he did not made a

second thought when Barangay

Captain Obguia approach him in

his office and ask for help for the

titling of their farm lands.

“You will now have

peace of mind because the land you

are working is already yours. Make

the best out of your property so that

all our efforts will not be wasted. I

do not want to hear that after you

hold your land titles, you will use

them for collaterals for loans in the

banks. The tendency is they will

never return to you, and again, the

same problem both of us will

confront someday,” Gov. Plaza

said.

Not only the distribution

of land titles were enjoyed by the

Aurora farmers but Gov. Plaza also

ordered the rehabilitation of the

road from the highway to

Aurora. (PIA-Agusan del Sur)

News Feature: BCPO Inaugurates Quality Service Lane

omplaints are usually processed in a makeshift corner tables marked with “Complaint Desk” in the past. But with the advent of the inauguration of the Quality

Service Lane last August 2, complaint desk corners are now part of history.

Butuan City Police Office

can now boast of the enhanced

facilities of the Quality Service

Lane of its office located right in

the heart of the city. But its

transformation was not an

overnight fairytale story. It started a

few months back with a series of

plans and commitments not only

from the ranks and file of the PNP

personnel but from the local

government of Butuanunder the

leadership of Mayor Ferdinand M.

Amante, Jr. as well.

Acting on the provisions

embodied on the Guide Book for

the Model Police Station Project of

the former C, PNP, PDG Jesus A

Versoza, Police Senior

Superintendent Jose V. Carillo,

City Director, Butuan City Police

Office, Butuan City, after assuming

office, ordered his station

commanders to speed up the

construction or renovation of the

Quality Service Lane of their

respective police stations.

Carillo did not only

envision for the mere establishment

or creation of a simple QSL to five

offices of his police stations in the

different parts of the City of Butuan

but he also aimed for an impressive

one putting into consideration that

Butuan City is the seat of

government of the Caraga Region.

As a result, he began the

construction and renovation of the

QSL facilities of the Butuan City

Police Station 1, which is co-

located with Butuan City Police

Office where he is the city director.

Changes within the

compound of Butuan City Police

Office began to take shape as the

days passed by. The transformation

of the old Complaint Desk into a

new Quality Service Lane was

started at a separate building that

housed the Guardhouse. Expansion

and modifications took place to

accommodate the receiving room

together with other facilities like

chairs, tables, and others.

Reconstruction of the

parking lot within the compound to

fit the new requirement was

considered a challenge due to the

limited space of the compound. But

ingenuity prevailed and finally, a

new parking lot emerged to

accommodate complainants and

walk-in clients guided by signs and

billboard markers. A separate

comfort room for male and female

clients was also constructed for the

purpose.

“We are proud to tell the

people of Butuan that a

standard Quality Service Lane is

finally constructed in this part of

the country to meet the people’s

demands for a service-oriented and

client-friendly police office, Police

Senior Superintendent Jose Carillo

stated. (PNP-PRO 13/PIA-Caraga)
