10-day registration period for BSKE

By J.Lo

“Comelec will open registration this July, but we cannot have it for  long period of time…only 10 days will be devoted for registration,we have 10 days to accommodate so many deactivated voters, voters that would want transfer of registration and young members of  voting population,” Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia said during  official launch  of  Kaisa Project for  2025 BSKE. registration for Dec. 1 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) will be held within  10-day period only.
Garcia said  longer registration period is not possible, given  limited time they have to prepare for  BSKE.

Kaisa Project aims to seek  assistance and cooperation of  different sectors, such as citizens’ arms, youth, women and indigenous peoples, in line with  preparation for  BSKE.

Garcia said  if registered voters for  BSKE reached around 70 million, they will be printing at least three additional ballots per precinct.

“In manual elections, every precinct is provided three extra ballots because many of our kababayans, since they would be writing  names of  candidates, have  tendency to commit errors, we give them  chance since our existing law for  BSKE is a bit old, that is why we have to follow  distribution of three extra ballots per precinct as provided in our BSKE law…erasure is also allowed,” Garcia explained.

Apart from  BSKE, Garcia said Comelec is also getting ready for  Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Parliamentary Elections or BPE to be held on Oct. 13.

BPE was supposed to be held simultaneously with last May 12 midterm elections. However, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed into law  measure postponing  first parliamentary elections in  BARMM.

Meanwhile, Garcia said payment of 98 percent of  honoraria for Electoral Board members has already been made.

About 800,000 members of Electoral Board that will receive  honoraria.

Senators back FMJ sweeping revamp

By Nidz Godino

“For me, this is  good move because admittedly, not all secretaries of government agencies are efficient… other secretaries or government officials who don’t really do their jobs or their work has had no impact on  people,” Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian supports for President Ferdinand MarcosJr.’s sweeping government reorganization, calling it  necessary move amid concerns over  inefficiency of some department secretaries.

 “What’s important is action and decisiveness ,secretaries who know what to do, who choose to act and not just talk…sometimes these people are good in theory but in practice, they have nothing to offer,” he added.

Echoing Gatchalian’s sentiments, Senators JV Ejercito and Pia Cayetano said  directive is  necessary push for accountability and urgency within  administration.

Ejercito described  move as “good start,” but cautioned that merely reshuffling  Cabinet is not enough to resolve deeper systemic issues in government.

“Reboot is good start but changing faces in  cabinet isn’t enough…this should serve as wake-up call for everyone to be on their toes,” he said.

He added that under-performing officials who have hindered  administration’s momentum should be removed.

“Cleansing must continue…those who have weighed down  administration and wasted President’s goodwill must be removed… time to choose leaders who understand  realities on the ground and who will serve with urgency, not excuses,” Ejercito stressed.

Cayetano, for her part, stressed that realignment should focus on improving  lives of ordinary Filipinos.

“At the heart of this realignment must be  commitment to providing families with quality public services that improve their daily lives and strengthen our communities,” she added.

In response to  mounting criticisms, particularly from allies of former president Rodrigo Duterte, Malacañang defended  call for Cabinet courtesy resignations and described detractors as “obstructionists.”

Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said  calls for President Marcos to resign are self-serving, as this would pave way for Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio to assume  presidency.

“They are the obstructionists who are not doing anything but to criticize  things the President and  government do…they do not see  good things,”  Palace press officer said.

“These are  people we should not believe in because they do not make sense,” she added.

Earlier, former presidential spokesman Harry Roque claimed  Philippines is “heading to hell” and said that Cabinet resignations would not solve  country’s problems.

Roque, reportedly seeking political asylum in the Netherlands due to alleged political persecution, called on Marcos to step down and let Vice President Duterte lead the country.

Another Duterte ally, former executive secretary Vic Rodriguez, dismissed  Cabinet reshuffle as  “cosmetic change,” insisting that  root of the problem lies with the President himself.

Castro claimed Roque’s legal cases might be dismissed if Duterte assumes  presidency.

“I am not saying that will happen but it may happen so they are promoting Sara… that is so self-serving,” Castro said.

Citing the need to “realign government with  people’s expectations,” President Marcos called for  courtesy resignation of all Cabinet members, surprise move following what was seen as  weak showing by administration allies during midterm elections.

P130 M damages from Solid North

By J.Lo

Land Transportation Office (LTO) emphasized that driving is  privilege ,not a right  and may be revoked for violations of traffic laws and safety regulations.

Relatives of victims  died in road crash at  Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway earlier this month have filed civil cases against Solid North Transit Inc., including its president and  driver involved in the incident.

Case  was filed at  Quezon City Hall of Justice by the family of Philippine Coast Guard Seawoman 1 Dain Janica Alinas, 32, and her husband Jon-jon, 34, with support of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon, whose department has supervision over  PCG.

Alinas family is seeking P50 million in damages, citing wrongful death, loss of income and moral and exemplary damages.

Separate  case was filed in Antipolo City by  families of other victims, demanding P80 million in damages.

Ten people, including four children, lost their lives and over 37 others were injured in the crash.

 Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board ordered  30-day suspension of Solid North Transit’s operations earlier this month.

According to Dizon, suspension remains in effect, particularly after 15 of its bus units found to be not roadworthy.

LTO has revoked  license of the driver involved in  fatal crash at  Ninoy Aquino International Airport on May 4.

In  five-page decision issued by LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II,  driver was found guilty of reckless driving and his license has been revoked for four years.

He was also fined P2,000 , maximum penalty allowed under existing laws.

According to  LTO’s decision, driver’s failure to exercise due diligence resulted in fatal crash, injuries to other individuals and property damage.

These actions were deemed as violations of Rule I(e) of Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01 and Republic Act 4136 or  Land Transportation and Traffic Code.
