(SunStar Philippines) Top Online Gambling Sites in the Philippines THE four former Cebu City Hall tax mappers, now seeking their long-overdue salaries, have strongly refuted claims by City Administrator Collin Rosell that their failure to report to reassigned positions is the reason for the 10-month salary delay.In an earlier interview, Rossell said the four regular employees—Filomena Atuel, Maria Almicar Dionzon, Sybil Ann Ybañez, and Chito dela Cerna—refused to report to their reassigned offices, resulting in the delay of their salary release since July 2023.Ybañez, speaking on behalf of the three other employees, clarified that they did not outrightly return to reporting to their mother office, the City Assessor’s Office. Instead, they only did so after they received a favorable response to their petition to the Civil Service Commission in Central Visayas (CSC 7).“Bakak nga wala mi ni report sa offices asa mi gi reassign. (It’s a lie if he said we did not report to the offices where we were reassigned.) We reported there before we filed our appeal at CSC,” Ybañez told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.Ybañez added that they reported to their reassigned offices upon receiving the reassignment order on June 1, 2023. Ybañez said she reported to the Cebu City Operation Second Chance Center; Atuel, the Cebu City Anti-Mendicancy Office; Diongzon, the South Road Properties.

He noted that it is a common practice in the public sector and falls under the prerogative of mayors as part of management.ReassignmentRosell said six employees from the Assessor’s Office received reassignment orders. He said two of these employees reported to their new departments, and, according to him, have not experienced salary issues.He added that the details of the reassignment should have been kept confidential.

IN A bid to sustain the country’s current growth momentum and make its economy stronger, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said his administration is focusing on re-skilling and upskilling the Philippines’ workforce, enhancing efforts to adapt to new technologies and attracting more investments.During the question and answer session of the World Economic Forum (WEF) on East Asia at Malacañang on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, with WEF President Børge Brende, Marcos raised the need for Filipino laborers to improve their competitiveness and keep up with the advancements under the new economy, both domestically and internationally.“Whenever we speak on investments I always ask the prospective investor if we have in fact a training program, if there is a transfer of technology, because this is going to be essential,” he said.“This continuous training and upskilling of our workers is conducted not only so that they are able to work in the areas that are important in the new economy. And also we have a very significant part of our economy is dependent on our overseas workers,” he added.Marcos said they are also paying attention to directing investment properly to ensure that it actually helps the country’s economic growth.“We now move on with the initiatives that we would like to introduce. And those are, what I spoke of in my speech, the investment that comes from private partners (but) government to government investments are also something that we are hoping to increase,” the President said.“And these investments also must be directed properly. They cannot be just investments that are perhaps very profitable but do not really help the economy grow. So [it] is still the main aim. I think, we [have] grown the idea… that we grow the economy out of the doldrums of the post-pandemic situation,” he added.Capital investment in new sectors will also be key, Marcos said, citing investments in digital space, new technologies and industries such as green minerals processing and battery production.In his speech during the WEF, Marcos highlighted the reforms his administration instituted for economic development and the ease of doing business in the Philippines to entice more investors to put up or expand their businesses in the country.He noted the revised implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the Build-Operate-Transfer Law followed by the revisions of the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Code.He reiterated that now is the right time for foreign investors to invest in the country, saying that “our economic liberalization measures signal the dawn of a new era of investments here in the Philippines.”“Clearly, the Philippines is in a prime position to enter into a sustained period of robust economic expansion over the next couple of years,” Marcos said.“I extend an invitation to our guests and partners here today to join us in this exciting new phase. The members of the economic team are here today ready to discuss those opportunities that I speak of in greater depth,” he added.Marcos highlighted the 185 Infrastructure Flagship Projects, which offer high rates of return and benefit from a streamlined process. These projects strategically target important sectors for sustainable development in the Philippines, including physical and digital connectivity, agriculture, energy, health, and climate-resilient infrastructure.He also noted that investments, particularly in durable equipment and public construction, emerged as a key driver in the full-year growth of the Philippine economy.The WEF Country Roundtable in the Philippines is the first high-level to be convened in the Asia-Pacific region since the end of the pandemic.OptimismBrende said it was the result of Marcos’ participation in the WEF in Switzerland in January last year that created a lot of interest and optimism in the Philippines.“There is a lot of optimism in the Philippines but also around the Philippines globally. We had a dialogue there and it was very, very well-received and a lot of companies that are partners with the World Economic Forum said that they would like to have a roundtable, to meet with the Filipino secretaries, [and] also to meet with President Marcos,” he said in a press conference.“Go a little bit deeper on the reforms and outlook for the Philippines and since then, in one and a half years’ time, the economy here has really shown how resilient it is,” he added.Brende expressed belief that if the Philippines continues its current policy reforms, upgrading infrastructure, as well as investing in renewables and other areas, it will continue to grow and could remain bullish.“I think that this can be in the coming decade, US$ 2 trillion economy if there are foreign investments in education, in infrastructure, and also able to draw on the great [competence] of the people of the Philippines,” he said.“The youth is considerable. There [are] also opportunities when it comes to the knowledge-based economy because it’s a big change, it’s a paradigm change we face right now. Productivity can be increased by 30 percent in the coming decade. So if we want to see continued economic growth you have to be part of the intelligence economy,” he added. (SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos THE four former Cebu City Hall tax mappers, now seeking their long-overdue salaries, have strongly refuted claims by City Administrator Collin Rosell that their failure to report to reassigned positions is the reason for the 10-month salary delay.In an earlier interview, Rossell said the four regular employees—Filomena Atuel, Maria Almicar Dionzon, Sybil Ann Ybañez, and Chito dela Cerna—refused to report to their reassigned offices, resulting in the delay of their salary release since July 2023.Ybañez, speaking on behalf of the three other employees, clarified that they did not outrightly return to reporting to their mother office, the City Assessor’s Office. Instead, they only did so after they received a favorable response to their petition to the Civil Service Commission in Central Visayas (CSC 7).“Bakak nga wala mi ni report sa offices asa mi gi reassign. (It’s a lie if he said we did not report to the offices where we were reassigned.) We reported there before we filed our appeal at CSC,” Ybañez told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.Ybañez added that they reported to their reassigned offices upon receiving the reassignment order on June 1, 2023. Ybañez said she reported to the Cebu City Operation Second Chance Center; Atuel, the Cebu City Anti-Mendicancy Office; Diongzon, the South Road Properties. On the other hand, dela Cerna submitted his petition to the CSC 7 before his reassignment date. He was reassigned to the Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office.The four employees each have decades of experience working for City Hall.Atuel has served in the City Assessor’s Office for 30 years, dela Cerna for 16 years, Diongzon for 35 years and Ybañez for 18 years. They held positions corresponding to salary grades ranging from 11 to 18.They are now currently assigned to the City Administrator’s Office under Rosell.Rosell’s claimIn a press conference Wednesday, Rosell said the alleged refusal of the four employees to report to their new assignment resulted in problems with the budget alignment for personnel and their salaries as no supervisor would sign their payroll documents.“Kon wala ka ni-report kung asa ka na assigned, kinsa man ang mopirma sa imong time-in, time-out, ang imong DTR (daily time record)?” Rosell said.(If you fail to report where you are assigned, who will sign your time-in, time-out, your DTR?)He added that their reassignment was part of the City Government’s effort to revamp employees and improve services. He noted that it is a common practice in the public sector and falls under the prerogative of mayors as part of management.ReassignmentRosell said six employees from the Assessor’s Office received reassignment orders. He said two of these employees reported to their new departments, and, according to him, have not experienced salary issues.He added that the details of the reassignment should have been kept confidential. He said the City Assessor’s Office is a high-risk department as it safeguards all records of properties within Cebu City, and the City Government is pouring efforts into revamping the office’s services and internal structure.Rosell added that serious allegations have surfaced within the City Assessor’s Office, including claims that some City Government-owned properties may be improperly titled to private individuals.PetitionYbañez said unfavorable time shifting and tasks unrelated to their expertise forced them to petition the CSC 7 to review their reassignment orders.Atuel, Dionzon and Ybañez filed their petition on June 16, 2023, while Dela Cerna filed his petition on June 19, 2023.Ybañez said that pending their petition, they returned to report to their original office, the Assessor’s Office. She cited section 13.a.4 of the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointment and Other Human Resource Actions to assert that any reassignment order is a non-executory while awaiting review by the CSC 7.On Oct. 12 and 17, 2023, Atuel, Dela Cerna, Diongzon, and Ybañez received a “favorable” decision from CSC 7 Director Carlos Evangelista, on their appeal, declaring the reassignment from the mayor “invalid.” However, in November 2023, Mayor Michael Rama, through the City Legal Office (CLO), filed a motion for reconsideration before the CSC 7, which was subsequently denied. Later, the CLO submitted a petition for review before the CSC central office in January 2024Rosell said that the latest decision of CSC 7 regarding the four employees is currently pending review with its central office.Transfer to city adminThe four ex-tax mappers are currently working under the office of the City Administrator with a new designation order since March 2024.Rosell said the mayor had ordered him to expedite the release of the salaries of the four for April this year. Rosell said he would also coordinate with other department heads for the immediate release of their unpaid salaries. / EHP
