Gloria J. Balboa,
Director IV
Department Of Health
Quirino Memorial Medical Center Compound
Project 4, Quezon City Phil.
We can understand your sincere support for the Municipal Health Office (MHO), nevertheless there seems to be a lapse in the part of the LGU and the proponent with regards to the provisions of the proposed memo ag, which had never been approved by the Sanguniang Bayan and in considerations of all gov’t projects mandate to secure social acceptability. The petition the people made against the Municipal Health Office building is therefore opposed for a legitimate contention but never in anyway given just consideration. We are predicating this answer to your letter on the proposition that what you have provided in good faith is also good for the subject, which is the people of this municipality. You cannot relieve yourself from the outcome of your help that is now being questioned and resisted by the same people you wanted to serve. Unless you will better hear our voice, then we will, you never bother to know your given mandate.
To decide on matters that is obscured and founded only on
legitimation of a project without satisfying the provisions of law must
therefore be a lapse and an undoing of people in charged of an office. LGU or
other entities must be subservient to
the will of the people as what our constituent so declares. Arguments and
manifesto are therefore our only way to upheld our rights as the people. We
shall most of all be honest to say, we don’t deserve a disservice to the people
like us. attached please find our manifesto…

TOTAL = 126
the project was pushed thru in the absence of
a MOA.. and there was no prior consultation. the mun. health officer was given
an audience by the SB.. PLs ask for the minutes. kasma mun. eng. the record
will show the SB did not authorized the LCE nor the MHO to enter into the
agreement. considering that there was a public outcry thru petition not to
destroy the open space which was formerly the bachelors hall. until now there
is a clamor not to push through the project.. until all requirements has been
satisfied... including ECC. social acceptability and other proprieties...
common sensibility, culturally legally and appropriately must be heeded as we
are the supposed public servant... me pag aaral dapat at pag uusap sa tao.. kung wala, sa kanila man yan... bakit
inaayawan? at bakit pinipilit po?
A PUBLIC OUTCRY - NO MOA, NO FURTHER
CONSULTATIONS, NO SB LCE AUTHORIZATION, NO MHO AGREEMENT, NO ECC & SOCIAL
ACCEPTABILITY. KAILANGAN PANG PAGARALAN AT PAG UUSAP SA TAO
common sense tells us... kung ako ang servant
o waiter... the customer is always right... bakit ko bigyan na serbisyo na di
namin gusto? tayo lahat binabayaran para masunod gusto mamamayan.. di po tayo
nandito para ipIlit ang bagay na di mo man lang tinanong sa tao.... THE WILL OF
THE PEOPLE... AS THE LAW PROVIDES... AS WE ARE MANDATED.. AS YOU ARE HIRED TO
PROTECT THE VERY INTENT OF THE PEOPLE... THE END NEVER JUSTIFIES THE MEAN...YOU
ARE AS I AM IS MANDATED...
IF you look over the MOA bet LGU and DOH...
the facility that is for the MHO includes medical service... there will be
primary care, consultations and medication... it will also include lying in for
delivery... component ang RHU... which is Rural Health Unit. parang clinic
yan... bakit di na approved ang MOA? kasi madami nang violations... out of !#
terms and conditions of which is proper consultation, supervision in the
construction and the turn over... kaso nga nauna gawin ang construction kesa sa
MA.
Kaming mga miembro ng Culion Birthday Club na binubuo ng mga senior citizen at mamamayan ng Culion ay hayagang tumututol sa pagpapatayo ng RHU (Rural Health Unit) or Municipal Health Office building sa pusod mismo ng Barangay Balala sa kadahilanang lubha na itong nakakasikip, at napakahalaga ang dating istraktura sa mga pagtitipong ginaganap dito sa Bachelors Hall or stage at sa Bayanihan Theater.

Abused Cebuano workers rescued in Culion, Palawan
THEY went to Palawan last week to earn a living.
But on Sunday, 43 male construction workers from the town of Pinamungajan, southern Cebu, had to be rescued.
They were clamoring to go home after being served bad food and being made to stay in poor accommodations by their foreign employer.
Pinamungajan Mayor Geraldine Yapha sought the help of Culion, Palawan Mayor Emiliano P. Marasigan Jr. to rescue the Cebuano workers .
She said the Cebuano workers are now safely with the Culion police and waiting for their transportation back to Pinamungahan.
However, the logistics of bringing home 43 persons is difficult, said the mayor.
She said the town is asking a private vessel owner in Palawan to let the workers ride for free but the schedule set is still a week from now.
“Their families want them back already. We cannot wait for a week for the private vessel’s scheduled trip,” she said.
She said the Pinamungahan government is working with Culion local officials, Vice Gov. Agnes Magpale’s Office and Provincial Social Welfare Office,
“The only way, aside from the airplane, to transport them back here is through a vessel or pumboat that would bring them to Iloilo. From Iloilo, they could travel to Negros where they could board a barge bound for Toledo city . We are considering all options,” she said.
Yapha said she did not know about the mass recruitment until the workers’ families pleaded for help.
The workers accepted to work for a foreigner who wants to build a beach resort in an island in Palawan, she said.
They were promised decent wages and accomodation.
Vice Governor Magpale said a complaint for illegal recruitment and traffickcould be prepared against the foreigner.
She said that aside from working to transport the Pinamungahan workers home, authorities are gathering data about the recruiter and the employer.
“We can consider this trafficking because when they reached the island, the salary was not given. The agreement was not satisfied,” she said./Correspondent Peter L. Romanillos
