Philippine rankings a disgrace in World Bank report

Aquino administration vs the World Bank




In the WB’s Ease of Doing Business 2016 report, which serves as a guide for investors and businesses doing business in various parts of the world, out of 189 countries studied, the Philippines slid six notches from 97th in the rankings in 2015, to 103rd in the 2016 report.
The new report was presented Wednesday by the International Finance Corp. (IFC), the World Bank’s private sector lending arm, at a media briefing.
The report’s unflattering findings on the Philippines could not have come at a more inopportune time for the Aquino administration, because the Philippines is hosting this November the summit of leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, which will bring to our capital the leaders of the world’s biggest and most dynamic economies in the Asia-Pacific region.
The event is a coming-out party for which the Aquino administration has been preparing long and hard, believing that it will have the opportunity to show the world that the Philippines is the Asia-Pacific’s new and rising star. It is supposed to reinforce our earlier hosting of the World Economic Forum, wherein we billed our country as the “new Asian economic miracle.”
Alarmingly, the rankings and findings of the World Bank report contradict this message and image in almost every way.
So naturally, the administration, with Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima in the lead, is up in arms, protesting the WB report and criticizing it as erratic and questionable.
Purisima is the most incensed because he is the country’s most assiduous promoter and salesman. He concocted the slogan, “Good governance is good economics” as Aquino’s economic mantra. He invented the tale about a new Asian miracle, ignoring that the miracle already began in the years of then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who the current President has arrested and keeps under arrest. And Purisima was entrusted with billions of public money to purchase investment grade ratings for the country from the world’s top credit-rating agencies.
Being ranked 103rd among 189 countries doesn’t square with these lofty claims. Indeed, it appears to belie them. And it grates when you consider that we are the 12th largest country in the world in terms of population.
At the Wednesday briefing, the IFC said that the country’s “overall ranking decline reflected the Philippines’ slight drops in most of the 10 sub-indicators of the Doing Business program.”
Shocking report
The report was a shock because Filipino officials actually expected an upgrade of the country’s position from 97th to 65th in the 2016 report.
Our National Competitiveness Council (NCC), whose reason for being was undercut by the WB report, criticized the IFC for using “erratic and unsound methodology,” and questioned the relevance of the annual rankings.
“Despite our efforts to introduce reform projects to improve the ease of doing business in the Philippines, IFC shows different sets of scores and rankings every year due to a change in methodology,” said Guillermo Luz, the private sector co-chairman of the NCC.
All the remonstrations notwithstanding, the cat is out of the bag.
One Philippine business magazine, BizNews Asia, merrily trumpeted the news in a cover and cover story, which declared “If you want to start a business, don’t start it in the Philippines.”
The magazine elaborated on the theme with this lengthy subhead:
“The World Bank ranks the Philippines 95th in ease of doing business, 161st in starting a business, 124th in dealing with construction permits, 108th in registering property, 104th in getting credit, 127th in paying taxes, 124th in enforcing contracts, 65th in trading across borders, and 50th in resolving insolvency. Considering that there are 189 economies, the Philippine rankings are a disgrace and put a lie to the claims of Daang Matuwid.”
Despite all the rhetoric of President Aquino about fighting corruption, his government has been ineffectual, incompetent and corrupt. - Full story on The Manila Times

Board member JT Alino: Higit sa P100-Million ang babayaran sa interes pa lamang; sira na ang kalsada ay nagbabayad pa

Provincial board member George JT Alino

 ALINO:
Alam nyo ho ba na mahigit 100 MILLION ang babayaran ng ating lalawigan sa loob ng SAMPUNG TAON para sa INTEREST palang ng uutangin natin?
Malaking halaga na sana ito na pwede natin magamit sa mas makabuluhang proyekto gaya ng pagsasaayos ng OSPITAL at pagkakaroon ng sapat sa supply ng KURYENTE AT TUBIG.
Sira na ho ang mga FARM to MARKET ROADS na gagawin mula sa uutangin natin na pera ay nagbabayad pa din tayo ng utang natin. Magiisip isip po tayo at sama samang kumilos.
Wag natin hayaan na lalong malugmok sa kahirapan ang ating lalawigan. Isa pa lamang yan sa rason ko kung bakit ayaw ko ho na suportahan ang pagutang ng 300M.

Midnight loan deal: To ratify or not to ratify?


FROM REPORTS - There was a Sangguniang Panlalawigan committee meeting yesterday regarding a request from the governor of Marinduque to ratify the loan contract after the "ceremonial signing" that transpired October 20, 2015.

The committee is expected to recommend ratification of the loan agreement in tomorrow's session (Friday, Oct. 30). But the august body just realized that certain documents should have been submitted to the Sanggunian for study before any signing as stipulated in the ordinance granting the governor the authority to negotiate. But they were neither here or there.

Under such a situation that cannot be undone, production of the missing documents before ratification might do it, right? So that must be another one to be rushed double time.

The governor was present in the committee hearing as observer.


"Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters

And soon it will be morning" - Memories


"There's no PDC endorsement of the proposed projects, required to be submitted to SP BEFORE signing of contract", says one.

"Some DBP-approved projects were not included in the documents presented to the SP when the authority to negotiate was done (P15M for Doctors Dorm), or were agreed not to be pursued anymore (P35M Edmundo Reyes Sports Complex), yet still included in the approved projects". says another.

"Many of the approved FMRs appear to overlap with already ongoing projects being implemented by the national goverment. So where will the unused money go? Possibly not to the barangays supposedly identified as would-be recipients. So parang magagamit lang sila at aasa", says another one.

Well, that's what probably happens when you suddenly rush to do things to ensure campaign funds eh?

FORGETTING ELECTIONS 1998

The good people of beloved Marinduque may have forgotten a similar episode in 1998, two years after the Marcopper tailings spillage that instantly polluted Boac River and part of Tablas Strait that runs west of Boac and Mogpog.

Prior to the 1998 elections wasn't there an agreement between Placer Dome and Marelco for an electrification project to cover certain Boac areas in the equivalent amount of USD500,000.00? The Catholic Church and civil society cried 'foul', 'illegal', 'anomalous', since the funds apparently did not go to Marelco, but the cooperative remained quiet all the time. The money just flew elsewhere, everywhere and covered the island.

The electrification project and all the noise that went with it were forgotten after the elections. It was only implemented many years later but with funds apparently sourced from national government agencies concerned.

Then the good people of beloved Marinduque have forgotten that immediately after the elections with winners already declared, in an unprecedented move the Catholic Church headed by the late Bishop of Boac, Rafael Lim together with all prelates, nuns, and lay ministers issued a rare Pastoral Letter. 

The letter signed by all the said prelates, nuns and lay ministers was read to the faithful in all of the parish churches, The missive condemned the conduct of the local elections in Marinduque, one that was characterized, it stated, by the most massive vote buying of all time in Marinduque's history. Well, up to that time. 

The pastoral letter also enjoined all prelates not to officiate, "walang magmimisa", during the inauguration of certain elected officials as their form of protest. This 'vow' however, was broken, maybe not surprisingly, by one of them to the dismay and disappointment of many. 

End of the story. But since then, the conduct of all elections of the future has been sealed? So it seems, unless...


“The only thing faster than the speed of thought is the speed of forgetfulness. Good thing we have other people to help us remember.” -  Vera NazarianThe Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration


Sometimes scholars write about the Marinduque episode finding it important like the following passage from a study:


"Sensing their increasing unpopularity, Marcopper/Placer Dome had 
allocated their resources carefully during the 1998 election. The campaign for governor by the sitting congresswoman, Carmencita Reyes-a scion of the family that in the 1950s was the largest owner of rice lands in the Philippines-was beneficiary of a large company grant for electric power development. Her well-funded campaign was successful. 
The alliance with the mining company, still hopeful of reopening, seemed to consolidate her family's political control." - David Wurfel

Source: David Wurfel, Philippine Studies Vol. 54 No. 1 (2006)


And so today we have this pre-election midnight loan that the good people of Marinduque are suddenly confronted with.

All propositions in the past three years by the governor to secure such a loan contract with any government bank has been blocked, rejected or allowed to die a natural death by the provincial board because of numerous issues. Read

Then another unprecedented rejection followed - the principled rejection  by the people of Marinduque of the proposed settlement agreement between the Marinduque government and Barrick Gold in connection with the environmental class suit filed in Nevada.

A tightly guarded provincial secret, other local government units and civil society groups finally got wind of that secret and loudly protested. They rejected all of the proposed stipulations in the agreement, finding them "unacceptable" and "unconscionable". The glaring deception committed here and there by parties involved, local and foreign, was so monstrous Marinduque was in world news again.

Now, this P300M loan contracted, maybe not so skillfully yet, by Gov. Carmencita O. Reyes with DBP. Reyes and members of the provincial board including the vice-governor were well aware of the Sandiganbayan's suspension order on Reyes in connection with the fertilizer fund scam at the time it was signed.

The unnecessary loan would dramatically increase Marinduque's debt from P35-M (another source puts this at P65-M), or a staggering 857% increase!

Unnecessary because an aggressive national government has allocated billions of pesos for road development projects, particularly provincial road networks with top provincial officials often projecting themselves as very close to Malacanang therefore Marinduque is malakas and top priority.

So let's listen again to today's burning question:


"So where will the unused money go? Possibly not to the barangays supposedly identified as would-be recipients. So parang magagamit lang sila at aasa."

Image from Deviant Art

That makes stubborn members of the provincial board complicit in burying poor, 4th Class Marinduque deeper than six feet below the ground, under an unnecessary and excessive P300 million debt.

Who will the pallbearers in the funeral be? Us, Marinduquenos, carrying the heavy burden of repaying the anomalous, whimsical and exorbitant loan and its accessory interest.

ASEAN best director reacts on expensive, unfinished Marinduque provincial hospital

Film Director/Producer Joseph Israel Laban
ASEAN Best Director for 2015 reacts on the expensive, still unfinished Marinduque Provincial Hospital that has been under construction for 11 years now:
"I hope this isn't true: P200 million already spent for the still unfinished new building of the Marinduque Provincial Hospital and P20 million more just for a ramp and an atrium. How many years has it been since this construction started? A decade? With this price tag, the province should have one of the best hospitals in the country by now. But it doesn't. The local government should properly account for this.
"My mom is turning 60 next month and she has to travel almost every month to Manila for her medical check up because we don't have the proper facilities in the province. So yes, this is personal." - JOSEPH ISRAEL LABAN
(@Joseph Israel Laban is from Boac, Marinduque. He won the Best Director Award at the ASEAN Film Festival earlier this year for his movie "Nuwebe", entirely shot in Marinduque).

Marinduque provincial board member Adeline Lyn Angeles

Ang usapin sa itaas ay kasama sa mga bagay na pinagtuunan ng pansin ni Bokal Adeline Lyn Angeles sa kanyang fb post kamakailan tungkol sa pagpigil ng Sangguniang Panlalawigan sa kanyang privilege speech tungkol sa P300-million loan ng provincial government ng Marinduque sa DBP. Isa lamang sa mga sinabi ni Angeles:

"Bakit sa dami ng pangangailangan ng HOSPITAL, kailangang unahin sa loan ang 15M para sa DOCTORS' DORMITORY?

"Halos 200M piso na ang nagastos sa 3 bagong building ng hospital. Dahil walang RAMPA, humingi at nag-appropriate pa ang Sangg. Panlalawigan ng around 20M piso pa para sa RAMPA at atrium lamang connecting the 3 buildings. Ngayon naman kasama sa a-utangin ay 15 M piso PARA LAMANG SA TIRAHAN NG MGA DOCTOR? Ito ba talaga ang dapat unahin sa utangin?" - ADELINE ANGELES

Midnight loan behind the scene: Board member Lyn Angeles prevented from delivering her privilege speech, calls for vigilance

Marinduque provincial board member Adeline "Lyn" Angeles.

Board member Angeles was prevented from delivering her privilege speech in connection with the P300M loan contract; was told that she should have presented an advance copy of her speech 3 days before - a non-existent requirement in the SP internal rules.

Her right to deliver a privilege speech was put to a vote, a violation of her right to speak as a representative of the people, she says;
Vice-Governor Bacorro eventually ruled not to allow Angeles to speak during the Privilege Hour; Angeles states that she reserves the right to file the necessary complaint for violation of her rights as representative of the people;

Angeles has turned to social media to inform the people of Marinduque who should know "the kind of control and utter disrespect to people's rights" happening at the provincial capitol;

 She asks: "If there's nothing being hidden, if the loan is truly good for the province, what is there to fear with respect to my questions, and what questions could not be answered"?

Angeles calls on the people to stay vigilant on the issue. "IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE LOAN, BUT ALSO ABOUT REAL TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE", she states.

Full text of board member Angeles' FB post follows:

LOAN... LOAN... WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US??? 
Simula po ng ako'y umupong Bokal, I always try to be objective and professional in performing my job... Kapag may mga kailangang linawin sa mga issue, hangga't maari, I use official & formal fora and processes in respect to the institution and the Provincial Gov't of which I am part of.

Kaya nga po sa mga isyu na minsan ay ipinupukol sa Sangg. Panlalawigan o sa Prov'l Gov't, kasama na ang pag- loan ng Php 300 Million, nanatili tayong tahimik sa social media. Bagama't may mga katanungan din ako, minarapat kong ang lahat ay gagawin ko sa opisyal & pormal na paraan... sa Session ng mga Bokal hangga't maaari. ITO ANG AMING TRABAHO.

At sapagkat MAY NAPIRMAHAN NG LOAN CONTRACT noong Martes (Oct 20) between the Provincial Gov't of Marinduque and DBP na nasa amin ngayon sa SP upang i- RATIFY, SA KABILA NG MARAMI PANG KATANUNGANG DAPAT LINAWIN, AKO PO AY NAGPA-REGISTER para mag-Privilege Speech sa Privilege Hour ng Session upang magpahayag ng ilang katanungan upang makatulong sa paglilinaw. 


SUBALIT NG SESSION NA (Oct 23) TINANGGAL PO SA AGENDA ANG AKING PRIVILEGE SPEECH at ako ay HINDI PINAGSALITA sa Privilege Hour sapagkat dapat daw ay nagbigay ako ng ADVANCE COPY 3 days bago ang session gayong WALA NAMANG GANITONG REQUIREMENTS SA AMING INTERNAL RULES.

NAGBOTOHAN PA ANG MGA BOKAL KUNG TAYO AY DAPAT PAGSALITAIN O HINDI SA PRIVILEGE HOUR gayong ITO AY KARAPATAN NG BAWAT BOKAL AT NASASAAD DIN SA AMING INTERNAL RULES. Ginalang ko ang naging RULING ni VICE GOV. BACORRO na huwag akong pagsalitain sa Privilelege Hour BUT I RESERVED THE RIGHT TO FILE NECESSARY COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATION OF MY RIGHTS AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE.

HINDI KO ALAM KUNG ANONG DAPAT IKATAKOT SA AKING PAGSASALITA AT PAGTATANONG NA ANG LAYON AY PAGLILINAW.
NOW, I am talking through Social Media dahil TINANGGALAN NINYO AKO NG MISMONG KARAPATAN KONG MAGPAHAYAG SA PORMAL/OPISYAL NA PARAAN...
And the people DESERVE TO KNOW KUNG ANONG PAG-CONTROL AT KAWALANG-GALANG SA KARAPATAN ANG NANGYAYARI SA ATIN SA CAPITOLYO.
KUNG WALA NAMAN TAYONG ITINATAGO... KUNG ANG LOAN AY TOTOONG MAKAKABUTI SA LALAWIGAN ... KUNG ANG ATING PUSO AY NASA TAMANG LUGAR, ANO ANG DAPAT IKATAKOT SA AKING PAGTATANONG? AT ANONG TANONG ANG HINDI MASASAGOT???

Yes, binigyan namin ng authority ang Gobernador to negotiate a loan...
Hindi na ba kami pwede magtanong man lang? Sabi ng isang Bokal, na-waive ko na raw ang karapatan kong magtanong dahil hindi ako um-attend ng Ceremonial Signing ng Contract at dun ako dapat nagtanong. QUITE ABSURD... FORMAL SIGNING ang nasa programa at hindi forum. Kung ginawa ko yon, sasabihin naman nila bakit doon ko pa tinanong ay wala sa programa.. mapapahiya ang probinsya at sasabihing ito'y pamumulitika.
I always say that availing LOAN is neither good nor bad in itself. Depende ito sa paggagamitan at iba pang circumstances pero sa puntong ito, marami pang DAPAT LINAWIN:
HALIMBAWA: Bakit sa dami ng pangangailangan ng HOSPITAL, kailangang unahin sa loan ang 15M para sa DOCTORS' DORMITORY?
Halos 200M piso na ang nagastos sa 3 bagong building ng hospital. Dahil walang RAMPA, humingi at nag-appropriate pa ang Sangg. Panlalawigan ng around 20M piso pa para sa RAMPA at atrium lamang connecting the 3 buildings. Ngayon naman kasama sa a-utangin ay 15 M piso PARA LAMANG SA TIRAHAN NG MGA DOCTOR? Ito ba talaga ang dapat unahin sa utangin?
I know that I just have few months remaining sa capitolyo dahil nag-file ako ng COC for Mayor ng bayan ko. And I also wanted to have meaningful but peaceful working relationship with our colleagues sa Capitol. 
Sa mga taga-capitol na walang political interest na nakakakita how we work there, I believe they know me na mahaba ang pasensya at pang-unawa sa respective interests & personalities ng mga katrabaho natin... MATAGAL DIN PO AKO MAGALIT... SUBALIT NG TANGGALAN AKO NG KARAPATANG MAGSALITA sa Privilege Hour last session, HINDI KO NA PO PWEDE PALAGPASIN because it is NOT JUST ABOUT ME BUT ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE WHO ALSO TRUSTED ME.
SUNDAN PO NATIN ANG ISSUE NA ITO. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE LOAN... BUT ALSO ABOUT REAL TRANSPARENCY... ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.
NB: Mga bumoto para makapagsalita tayo sa Privilege Hour: ALINO, AGUIRRE, ANGELES

SOME REACTIONS TO BOKAL ANGELES' FB POST:
George JT Alino The Vice Governor made an erroneous ruling when he didn't allow BokalAdeline Lyn Angeles to render her privilege speech during our session last Friday. All he had to do was to refer to the Internal Rules and Procedures of the SP so that everyone could be guided accordingly. Yet, he chose to make a ruling that is violative of the IRP to favor his partymates. Their actions were a blatant disregard for the IRP. Such a disgrace!
