Casiño: DSWD wasting money on Anti-Epal campaign Says money should be used to help typhoon victims

Bayan Muna Partylist Representative and senatoriable Teddy Casiño today questioned the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) plan to spend P10.5 million for an ‘anti-epal’ campaign. 

On December 31, 2012, local newspapers published a DSWD invitation to bid for "Hiring of Service provider for the Newspaper Publications, and the Production and Airing of TV and radio Commercials for the 'Bawal ang EPAL dito campaign' of the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program (4Ps)."

“The DSWD’s mission is to 'develop, implement and coordinate social protection and poverty reduction solutions for and with the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged.' Nowhere in its functions can we find anything about it spearheading an 'Anti-Epal Campaign.' Are they now taking over the functions of the COMELEC, NAMFREL and PPCRV?" said the solon. 

"The DSWD wants to use people’s money for something not within its mandate or expertise," he said. "Further, given the wide definition of what epal is, the funds can be used for partisan political activity against the critics of the 4Ps and the Aquino administration." 

"I fear this will just be a waste of money. We will be better off spending the huge amount for the victims of typhoons Pablo and Quinta,” said Casiño.

With Itochu backing us with their financial support and growth opportunities in countries such as China, we can look forward to another 50 years", Denye added.

In line with the continuing implementation of the Universal Health Care Program (UHC), eligible and newly-hired 319 nurses and 98 midwives have gone through a series of orientation and training conducted lately by the Department of Health 12, Philhealth 12 and the Department of Social Welfare and Development 12.

This is to standardize the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the entire program, create network among them and strengthen their capabilities as health workers in the community. 

“Being one of the overseers in implementing this project, I will strictly monitor their output.

PhilHealth XII Regional Vice-President, Ramon F. Aristoza Jr. explained that “the IPC is intended to guide and encourage IPMs to sustain active participation in the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) and guarantee entitlement to PhilHealth benefits thereby providing continuous financial risk protection in health care costs within a specified validity period.”

Upon signing of IPC, an IPM shall be required to pay  a minimum initial premium contribution according to the number of years contracted which is: Php450.00 or 25% of the annual premium for 1 year validity, Php900.00 or 50% of the annual premium for 2 years validity and Php1,800.00 or 1 year full payment for 3 years validity.

Full payment of premium contributions upon contract signing shall be locked in to the current rate which is Php1,800.00 per year. For those who opt to pay only the initial minimum premium requirement, succeeding payments may be paid on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual mode.  

Payments shall be applied prospectively and deadline shall be on the last working day of the month prior to the applicable period being paid.

Grace period shall be allowed for delayed remittance and may vary according to selected mode of payment.

The initial premium contribution and Policy Validity Period with succeeding payment schedule are indicated in the IPC. An enhanced Member Data Record (MDR) showing the same details will also be issued to the member.

To avail of benefits, the IPC shall serve as one of the primary documents for IPMs and their qualified dependents to submit.

RVP Aristoza said that IPMs who are issued IPC shall be entitled to avail of benefits based on the 3/6 minimum premium requirement for all type of illnesses, except for Case Type Z illnesses which requires 1 year advance full payment of premium contribution.

Casiño: Palace turning a blind eye to US Navy, cause of Tubbataha damage

"What is a minesweeper doing there in the first place?" was the question posed by partylist Rep. Teddy Casiño on Monday as reports revealed the US Navy's uncooperative actions towards the Tubbataha Reef park rangers. 

The senatorial candidate said he did not understand why, based on reports by Tubbataha Protected Area Management Board head Angelique Songco, the USS Guardian's ship commander would "deploy personnel into battle position," forcing park rangers to back off when the latter merely attempted to survey the damage and offer help. 

"Amid the incident happening in Philippine waters, causing irreparable damage to a world heritage site, Philippine authorities were deemed useless and in the dark. News reports said the military has yet to receive a 'request of assistance' 24 hours since the incident. Why should we wait for a request when we should be the ones on top of the issue? The Tubbataha Park Board had to file a formal protest with the US government to gain access to the USS Guardian," the progressive solon pointed out, noting Malacañang's wait-and-see attitude and deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte's statement “There’s no problem with us if our help is needed." 

"Hindi ba teritoryo natin yan? Kailangan pa natin magpaalam sa US o antayin ang directive nila kung papayagan nila tayong tumulong habang tuloy ang pag-gasgas ng USS guardian sa Tubbataha Reef," said Casiño. Local officials have also commented that the Philippine government should take charge of the operations to ensure the reef's safety as opposed to the US Navy's concern for its ship. 

The Bayan Muna representative expressed dismay at the dismissive response of the Aquino administration to the still worsening ecological destruction brought about by the US Navy minesweeper. "The Tubbataha reef atolls are invaluable to the health and productivity of the entire marine ecosystem in the Sulu Sea and will directly affect the lives of the fisherfolk and nearby communities," he explained. 

Casiño also questioned the US Navy's excuse about erroneous map data misplacing the Tubbataha Reef by eight nautical miles, while wondering about the possibility of the US minesweeper's presence in the area as preparation for offshore exploration activities. 

He stressed that regardless of whether the unsanctioned activity is economic or military in nature, the presence of US warships is an affront to the country’s national sovereignty and patrimony. "This is why we have long been calling for the abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement. Biruin mo, US forces are free to enter our territory, use our ports for free and when these affronts happen they cite the VFA like it's a basis for their de facto immunity or at least their refusal to cooperate with other government agencies," said Casiño, alluding to the Subic Bay toxic waste incident and other instances involving the PH-US military exercises. 

 "The Aquino administration should support the abrogation of the VFA to ensure the integrity of our marine ecosystems, protect our fisheries and to effectively make erring US entities accountable," said Casiño.

Casiño is the author of House Joint Resolution 7, "A joint resolution terminating the RP-US Visiting Forces Agreement" and House Resolution 1242, "A resolution strongly opposing the return of U.S. troops and military facilities in Clark or Subic or any part of the country under the pretext of the Visiting Forces Agreement in affirmation of the Filipino People's historic rejection of the RP-US Military Bases Agreement in 1991."
