Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the 14th puppet President , continues to rack up a record of achievements unmatched in Philippine history. Among them:

1) The highest level of public debt (P4.08 trillion as of yesterday) and the biggest amount of foreign borrowing. (More than Makoy, Cory, Ramos, and Erap combined).

2) The No. 2 most corrupt country in the world; No. 1 in Asia according to the World Economic Forum and Asian Development Bank.

3) The most dangerous place for journalists in the whole world, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and earlier the London-based ICJ.

4) The new shabu manufacturing center in Asia.

5) The harshest repression rate of freedom of speech and of assembly topped by a “no- permit, no-rally� policy.

6) The highest unemployment rate (13.9 percent or five million unemployed) and the highest underemployment rate including the collapse of the garment industry.

7) The biggest corruption scandal in the AFP's pathetic history and the loss of standing and respect in the international community.

The most expensive and the most fraudulent elections ever held on May 10, 2004.

9) The fastest deterioration in the poverty line from 32 percent under Erap to 47 percent in four years.

10) The highest price of oil products ever (P33 per liter).

11) The highest dollar-peso exchange rate (P56 to $1).

12) The highest importation of rice over a four-year period (more than 5,000 metric tons) indicating a failure in agriculture.

13) The most number of casinos and gambling establishments.

14) The most number of foreign and domestic trips by a President.

15) Control of the Supreme Court and inferior courts.

16) The largest number of retired Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP) officers appointed to civilian positions.

17) The biggest number of doctors, nurses, managers, professionals, even domestics and caregivers leaving the country.

1 The biggest percentage increase of service and clearance fees, tolls (3,000 percent), license fees, ever imposed by any administration. You even have to pay to enter a National Bureau of Investigation office.

19) The lowest amount ($14 million) of foreign investment in any given year.

20) The biggest number of pyramid scams, pre-need plans bankruptcy, thereby a failure to protect consumers.

21) Condemnation by the German government and business associations on the Fraport-Piatco issue.

22) The Peace bonds scam giving away P1.8 billion to Code NGO and incurring a P35 billion additional debt in the process.

23) The biggest amount of unpaid pensions to AFP, PNP, teachers, govt. employees retirees amounting to P36 billion.

24) The biggest importer of finished goods, services, surplus used cars,and tax-free luxury cars.

25) The subtle control of all TV stations.

26) The most expensive highway in the universe.

27) The biggest govt. budget (One trillion pesos).

2 The worst Human Rights violator in Asia.

29) The highest percentage allocated for debt servicing in the National budget
Â*
Â* Â*and last but not the least...( fanfare music)...tantarantantan....
30) The shortest.

What does all of these amount to? A failure of governance by the worst administration in our 107-year history. The most rabid, loyal, & willing lapdog of U.S. imperialism.

You failed to mention that she is also the worst President ever had. She even shamed Marcos in the unpopularity departments. Marcos looked like an angel compared to Gloria Arroyo.

[riko diko]

@ Jored & tempest:
don't forget to mention that GMA is the only politician in the world who took oath as president unconstitutionally. who took the position because a mob in manila, a high-judge asked her to.

@ wandrlust: your turn. lets stick to the damages as this thread is trying to point out. achievements i think will be in another thread, which i'm sure erap would still lead inspite of his term cut short by power hungry people.

Quisumbing, proposed an ordinance be put in place to promote transparency in the use of public funds after PB members found that Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia was able to enter into a P7.2-million contractÂ* for the outsourcing of medical personnel even without their knowledge.

The contract for the outsourcing was not included in the annual budget.

Does Cebu needs to outsourced medical personnel where there are hundreds of medical students helping Cebu's hospitals?Â* Who owned this Medical Company that supplies medical outsourced personnel? Who are the stockholders from this company?

Yup, money covertly transfered to benefit a contractor whose contract is not in the books of annual budget.Â* You point to Manila as corrupt? Have that money pay the SRP.

Elite Corrupt Practices.Â* Arson destroyed evidence. Now it is clear all vehicles are for spare parts. Cebu Elites Powerplay. Big boys and Big girls club only.

Cebu fire eats up P60M worth of seized vehicles

CEBU CITY -- At least 60 million pesos worth of seized vehicles went up in smoke early Thursday morning when fire gutted a building of the Cebu Ports Authority (CPA) at the Cebu International Port here that was also used as a storage facility of the Bureau of Customs.The one-story building also housed the offices of the Maritime Police Office in Central Visayas, Starlight Cargo Express and Oriental Port and Allied Services Corp. (Opascor), said Cebu Fire Marshall Esmael Codilla. He said the fire broke out around 3:55 a.m. at the Starlight Cargo, located beside the area where the Customs stored its seized items. It was put under control after 55 minutes. Cebu Customs Collector Lourdes Mangaoang said the blaze destroyed several confiscated vehicles, including luxury cars and utility vans. http://news.inq7.net/express/html_ou...45069.xml.html

Police want intercepted container van inventoried
The van is now at the Cebu International Port after Ughoc turned it over to Haron Baragona, chief of the Office of the Wharfinger. Earlier, police found three right-hand-drive Mitsubishi Delica, Spacegear, and Jasper, placed at P2 million each, when the van was opened after a search warrant was secured. The consignee failed to appear at the police station to claim the cargo. As of yesterday afternoon, Ughoc was still waiting for Mangaoang's response to their request. Mangaoang questioned the authority of the Mandaue police when they opened the container van. She maintained that the van contained used truck parts during inspection before its release from the Customs zone. Ughoc said he already assigned two policemen to secure the van within 24 hours at the CIP. He said he wants to make sure that the van is properly guarded, until a Customs examiner would be able to conduct an inventory of its contents. http://www.philstar.com/philstar/FRE...0507281811.htm

Mangaoang refused however to confirm who the consignee was but she declared it was a legal shipment of used truck replacement parts. She threatened to file charges against the Mandaue City police if they do not turn over the van to the Bureau of Customs. Mangaoang also filed yesterday a formal complaint against Vaño before PNP chief Arturo Lumibao, contending that the anti-smuggling operations by the CIDG in Cebu were “illegal and arbitrary� for lack of authority from her office. http://www.thefreeman.com/local/stor...721-32590.html

Bureau of Customs (BOC) Port of Cebu District Collector Ma. Lourdes Mangaoang criticized the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) 7 for apprehending imported shipment without customs deputation. the CIDG personnel conducted operations and apprehended one container van, which was released after they received P15,000 from the importer, Mangaoang said. Mangaoang sent a letter to PNP Director Arturo Lomibao against CIDG 7 operatives led by Chief Inspector Fredi Vaño. The CIDG team flagged down the two trucks carrying the vans, took the drivers’ cellphones and handheld radios, and brought the vans in the vicinity of Camp Sotero Cabahug, despite being legally released by Customs. Mangaoang further said President Arroyo gave them the directive to improve tax collection.Â* http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb...mporters..html

The Bureau of Customs, which is listed as among the most corrupt government agencies where the males are always pictured as the culprits. Would she survive from such situation that often involves politicians who use their influence to protect their nefarious business? Would she be able to perform a magic that has a semblance of Joan of Arc's heroism, so to speak? Collector Mangaong recently unleashed daring words to media, which warned her of politicians who might attempt to wreck her policy of transparency and fair public service. Unfortunately, it didn't happen the way she expected it to be. This corner learned that three congressmen -- from Cebu, Surigao and Davao -- are allegedly conniving in an effort to oust the lady collector from Cagayan de Oro City. The reason: [color=blue]the favors that these lawmakers had sought were turned down outright.[/blue]

Congressman No. 1: Threatens to junk the newly designated Finance secretary, whose regular appointment is to be decided by the Congressional Committee on Appointment, of which he is a member, if the secretary won't do something to transfer the lady collector. He had reportedly requested, in behalf of a group of smugglers, for an audience, which the collector refused, and that apparently caught the ire of the congressman. The congressman came to Cebu for that sole mission given by a syndicate and stayed in a four-star hotel with a woman.

Congressman No. 2: Got irritated after his request to have his nephew (a certain Mr. P.) accommodated in the Cebu Customs Bureau, as replacement of an official with a deputy collector status, was turned down. He reportedly joined Congressman No. 1 in an effort to cast out the lady collector. Dropping the name of the President, this lawmaker allegedly told the Customs Bureau chief that any unfavorable action to his request would be reported to Malacañang, which credits him for "his support to the President during the last election."

Congressman No.3: He's reportedly offering all-out support to the efforts exerted by Congressmen No. 1 and 2 against the lady collector to the point that he also made browbeating effort to the BOC chief and the finance secretary. To his disappointment, the two officials merely ignored the congressman's menacing act. This lawmaker was reported to be the one who was caught in flagrante by a top military official while sleeping with a mistress. He reportedly escaped through a window, leaving his partner who happened to be the wife of the military official. Taking it with a grain of salt may just be the right thing for the public to do concerning Mangaoang's word to politicians to stay away and not to mess with her. But I still believe in a woman's conviction that spells the difference between good and evil. http://www.inq7.net/globalnation/sec...opi/stj_16.htm

This corner stands by what it reported two columns ago regarding the seized smuggled cornstarch based on the info relayed by my source. Apparently informed by the commissioner about the report, Cebu Customs Collector Lourdes Mangaoang issued a statement to this corner explaining that the shipment was covered with proper documents, dousing allegation the shipment was questionable as alleged by the source. That remains, however, to be seen since the collector has yet to show the said papers. http://www.inq7.net/globalnation/sec...opi/stj_22.htm

Controversial Cebu Collector Billy Bibit was replaced by Cagayan de Oro Collector Lourdes Mangaoang. http://www.manilatimes.net/national/...50503top3.html

Social Services Chief sacked for spoiled food. Please include the custodian. Petty amount compared to other Government officials disbursement of funds without proper accounting.Â* http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/net...sted.food.html

The Commission on Audit (COA), in its annual audit on City Hall’s fiscal transactions in the past year, reported that some P10.7 million in cash advances were not liquidated as of Dec. 31, 2004. This violates Section 5.8 of COA Circular 97-002. Also, even if they have yet to settle their cash advances, nine disbursing officers were at the same time allowed to function as collectors at the Cebu City Treasurer’s Office. Two others were assigned as petty cash custodians.

Conflict of interest/dual jobs. boot them out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_interest
Five petty cash custodians were not bonded with the Department of Finance, a violation of government audit rules. State auditors said that assigning a disbursing officer to collect revenues will further delay her task of liquidating her cash advances, because dual functions overload the employee. This would also sacrifice the quality of work for the two responsibilities. Acting City Treasurer Tessie Camarillo, during the exit conference on COA’s findings, told state auditors that they no longer allowed this practice this year. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb....advances.html

This one too. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb...er.funds..html The move was presented after members found that Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia was able to enter into a P7.2-million contract for the outsourcing of medical personnel even without their knowledge.

Both did great damage to our country but both won the presidency. In essence, we're the ones who put them there. We're the ones who gave them the power to do great damage.

Anyway, for me (and this is off-topic)...there's a certain male politician who has been in every administration since the marcos era. It's been told that he has enough power to wield such disturbing political events just like Dick Cheney. Hasn't anybody (other than me) wondered when will Enrile RETIRE?
