Cao’s replacement as POEA chief, grave mistake—group

ANTIPOLO City, Jan. 4, 2011—President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III had made a huge mistake replacing Atty. Carlos S. Cao Jr. as Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) chief.

Migrante Middle East regional coordinator John Leonard Monterona said in a statement that Cao’s replacement is “rude and fast” and might hamper the delivery of services by the agency to migrant workers. He also said that the poor lawyer had been a victim of “power struggle” inside the agency, being a “newcomer” in POEA.

Impeachment tribunal vs Corona should not be an ‘Aquino court’—solon

ANTIPOLO City, Dec. 13, 2011—While it voted “yes” for the Chief Magistrate’s impeachment complaint, Kabataan partylist forewarned his fellow legislators not to make the Impeachment Tribunal against Supreme Court chief justice Renato Corona to be an “Aquino court.”

“The blind support of Chief Justice Renato Corona to former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and by extension to the crimes of the latter against the people warrants an impeachment case on the basis of betrayal of public trust. But I stress my vote for Corona’s impeachment with a caveat against Palace machinations to establish an Aquino court,” said Kabataan Rep. Raymond Palatino in a statement sent to media.

Tax on SSS, Pag-IBIG contributions, injustice to OFWs—group

 

ANTIPOLO City, Dec. 2, 2011—It would be an injustice for the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) if the Bureau of Internal Revenue will continue its plan of imposing taxes to their Social Security System (SSS) and Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG).

In a statement sent to media, John Leonard C. Monterona of Migrante-Middle East (ME) said most of the OFWs are paying more than the mandatory contribution to ensure that they would have enough money to loan to own a house (in case of Pag-IBIG) and for bigger monthly pension in case they can’t go back to work abroad as a contract worker.
