PGMA lauds SK eco data bank proposal
PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo lauded the youth proposal to come up with a databank to rationalize the efforts in putting up pro-environment solutions, as she renewed the call for volunteerism and community spirit amidst climate change. Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) National Federation President and National SK Convention host Jane Censoria Cajes proposed the plan, which the country’s top leaders hinted, could be pursued with the government environment agency and funded by the country’s revenues. The president in pastel orange pant-suit came to Bohol, her first time in 2009 to launch the Sama-sama Para sa Kalikasan, April 1, at the Bohol Wisdom School Gym. During these trying times of the world, the Filipino spirit and commitment to caring should prompt each one of us to count our blessings and give back to those who are less fortunate, she reiterated while urging every Filipino to pull in the same direction. “Volunteering time, skill and resources, is a noble undertaking we should all take seriously,” she said. Speaking in front of an estimated 6,000 SK members packed at the venue for the SK National Convention, the president called the era as “time for pooling together and focusing on family and the community.” Gaining new allies in the search for government mitigations on the climate change effects, PGMA cited the SK’s Sama-sama Para sa Kalikasan (SK) as a support slogan for the National Environment Campaign. “I am happy that you have taken on the challenge of protecting the environment and mitigating the effects of climate change,” the President said.

Revealing that has just signed the order promoting, she also said the program target 18 to 24 year-olds who shall compose two key groups: the National Service Corps (NSC) and a Youth Conservation Corps (YCC).

As a piece of good news, she told the youth she was very happy to sign before the youth the new law creating Special Program for Employment of Students.

“There is no irregularity or substantial error in the P168 M bidding for the purchase of a fleet of brand new heavy equipment of the provincial government.” This was the findings of the review panel looking into the bidding controversy. The result of the bid review did not come as a surprise as anti-graft watchdog Boholanos Against Corruption and Social Harassment (Bacos) already cast doubts on the integrity of the review committee which was formed by Gov. Erico Aumentado. Vice-Governor Julius Herrera said the review team meticulously reviewed the procedures outlined under RA 9184 (the Government Procurement Law) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) vis-a-vis the bidding process undertaken by the Biids & Awards Committee (BAC). However, a separate inquiry and monitoring is being conducted by the Commission on Audit (COA) on the bidding. The Sangguniang Panlalawigan committee on public accountability headed by Board Member Asther Piollo is also conducting its own probe.
