DSWD delists over 160,000 unqualified CCT beneficiaries By Helen Flores (The Philippine Star) Updated December 31, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (1)

I am a strong supporter of the Conditional Cash Transfer Program of the government which I call in my blog reyquijada as the best walk the talk program for the poor by the government since PGMA up to this administration of PNoy.

A beneficiary family can recieve a maximum cash assistance of 1, 200 pesos per month which means a lot to a poor family and the reported delisting of 160,000 unqualified beneficiary families can easily translate to almost 200 million pesos a month of misused funds for the poor!!!

What will DSWD and COA do about this?

They should recover these funds from these fake beneficiaries and file the necessary charges against them especially if they are connected with the government.The personnels of the DSWD who allowed this to happen should be disciplined accordingly.

This unjust practice has to stop!!!

The perpetrators are sabotaging this very beautiful program and if the DSWD and the COA will not be able to coerce these people to return these funds and punish the ones responsible for this grand misdeed, the critics of this program may succeed in destroying it.

WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM FOR THE POOR ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH TO FAIL!!!

Palace destroying objectivity of Corona impeachment—Joker Arroyo

Palace destroying objectivity of Corona impeachment—Joker Arroyo

The search for the replacement of a CJ who is retiring has no political implication even if the CJ has not retired yet unlike when a CJ is being impeached and be possibly removed.

The Palace officials should be humble enough to admit some error in judgement in publicly revealing the search when they could have discreetly done the search for the next CJ in case Corona is removed or resigns before the trial.

To be humble especially when one wields tremendous power takes a lot of courage!

If CJ Corona believes that he is innocent, then he should face the Senators in the impeachment trial!

With due respect to the writer, the credibility of the Supreme Court and many courts for that matter is not at its lowest because of attacks and criticisms against it but because of their own doing.

Who does not want justice to be dispensed? But if the government instrumentality tasked to do it is not doing it well or correctly, naturally people will react and complain!

During this troubled times, the Supreme Court should give a chance to the people by allowing the impeachment to proceed. Should they decide to stop the proceedings, it is similar to what PGMA did to the impeachment cases that were filed against her.

If the Supreme Court judges will decide to protect the Chief Justice, then it means that they want to share the lot of the Chief Justice.

This is hard to tell but true!!

If CJ Corona believes that he is innocent, then he should face the Senators in the impeachment trial and not drag down the entire Supreme Court with him and his fellow justices!

CJ Corona is not the Supreme Court in the same manner that PNoy is not the Philippines!!

Nereus should be asked to resign if he does not resign voluntarily.

Let this act be not wasted however by subjecting all officials to life style checks whether elected or appointed and whether with the opposition or the administration or independent. There are so many of them who have done worse than Nereus.

Truly I believe that the Commission on Audit, the Ombudsman and the Civil Service Commission are not doing enough for the Matuwid na Daan..

IN DEFENSE OF CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER FROM PROFESSOR MARIVIC RAQUIZA OF SOCIAL WATCH!

PROFESSOR MARIVIC RAQUIZA KNOWS WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT AND THIS BLOGGER, A FORMER BARANGAY CAPTAIN  HAS NO MATCH TO HER ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION AND CREDIBILITY.

MOST PROBABLY SHE HAS A POINT IN POINTING OUT TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF PNOY THAT THE BUDGET FOR DISASTER RESPONSE IS NOT ENOUGH.

BUT I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE LADY PROFESSOR WHEN SHE BLAMES THE GRANTING OF MASSIVE FUNDING AMOUNTING TO A FEW BILLIONS OF PESOS FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFERS FOR THE LACK OF FUNDS FOR CALAMITIES.

MY STAND IS ANCHORED ON TWO MAIN REASONS AND THESE ARE THE FOLLOWING, TO WIT;

1. THE TRAGEDY THAT HIT OUR FELLOWMEN AT CAGAYAN DE ORO AND ILIGAN WERE PRIMARILY CAUSED BY ILLEGAL LOGGING WHICH IS THE MAIN LOOKOUT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES AND NOT THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK AND DEVELOPMENT. IT IS TRUE THAT THE ILLEGAL LOGGERS ARE THE WELL CONNECTED IN THOSE AREAS  BUT IT IS THE POOR WHO ARE HIRED AS WORKERS. THEY WORK IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THEIR POVERTY. MOST OF THE VICTIMS ARE POOR AS THEY ARE THOSE WHO LOCATE THEIR HOUSES NEAR THE RIVERBANKS AS THEY CAN NOT AFFORD TO ACQUIRE LAND IN BETTER LOCATED AREAS.

THESE WORKERS OF ILLEGAL LOGGERS AND MOST OF THOSE WHO WERE VICTIMS IN THE LOWLANDS OF CDO AND ILIGAN ARE THE USUAL BENEFICIARIES OF THE CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER PROGRAM OF THE GOVERNMENT. THESE POOR PEOPLE IF THEY CAN BE FREED FROM POVERTY SOMEDAY WILL HAVE BETTER JOBS AND LOCATE THEIR HOUSES IN LESS CALAMITY PRONE AREAS.

AND THE SOCIAL WATCH AND PROFESSOR MARIVIC RAQUISA ARE ATTACKING THE CCTP OF THE DSWD WHICH ARE SERVING MILLIONS OF POOR FAMILIES?


2. THE VICTIMS OF THE CALAMITIES ARE ALL TO BE PITIED AND SHOULD BE HELPED. PERHAPS INCLUDING THOSE WHO WERE HIT, WOUNDED, DIED AND LOST HOUSES AND LOST LIVELIHOOD  IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS DUE TO CALAMITIES CAUSED BY TYPHOONS COULD EASILY REACH FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND FAMILIES.

BUT IS IT NOT TRUE ALSO THAT THE POOR WHO ARE BEING SERVED BY THE GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER WHICH HAS NOW REACHED MORE THAN TWO MILLION FAMILIES IF NOT HELPED THRU THE CCTP CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS VICTIMS OF CALAMITIES IF LEFT UNASSISTED AND REMAIN DEEP IN POVERTY LIKE BEFORE WHERE GOVERNMENT SERVICE FOR THEM WERE MOST OF THE TIME LIP SERVICE?

THESE MORE THAN TWO MILLION POOR FAMILIES WHICH ARE  BEING SERVED BY CCTP ARE EXPERIENCING CALAMITIES EVERYDAY. PERHAPS THEIR POVERTY WHICH THEY HAVE TO ENDURE EVERYDAY  ARE NOT GOOD PHOTO OR VIDEO SHOTS UNLIKE CALAMITY VICTIMS EVEN IF THEIR LIVES ARE CALAMITOUS!

THRU CCTP, THEY ARE BEING HELPED TO GET OUT FROM THEIR CALAMITOUS CONDITIONS DUE TO POVERTY.

SO WHY IS SOCIAL WATCH ATTACKING THE PROGRAM WHEN BOTH DISASTER VICTIMS AND THE POOR WHO ARE EXPERIENCING CALAMITOUS DIFFICULTIES EVERYDAY DESERVE TO BE HELPED?

THERE SHOULD BE NO QUARREL BETWEEN DSWD AND SOCIAL WATCH. PERHAPS SOCIAL WATCH SHOULD TRAIN MORE ITS GUNS ON GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WHICH ARE INEFFECTIVE IN CARRYING OUT THEIR MANDATE WHICH HAS CAUSED DESTRUCTION OF OUR ENVIRONMENT AND THOSE WHO COMMIT GRAFT AND CORRUPTION THAT DEPRIVE OTHERS OF WHAT IS DUE TO THEM!

CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER WAS STARTED BY PGMA AND IS CONTINUED AND EXPANDED BY PNOY.

IT IS THE BEST WALK THE TALK PROGRAM OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE POOR!!!

CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER PROGRAM  MUST BE SUPPORTED AND IF THERE ARE DEFECTS IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION, IT MUST BE CORRECTED!!!

IT MUST NOT BE STOPPED UNLESS ONE IS AGAINST THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT!!!
