P723.6-B in automatic appro for 2012 already authorized by Congress
udget and Management Secretary Florencio B. Abad today said that expenditures already automatically appropriated totalling P723.6 billion or 39.8 percent of the proposed National Budget for 2012 have
already been previously authorized by Congress and need not be included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) that it will approve for 2012.
With this, such automatic
appropriations have not been
included in the National
Expenditure Plan (NEP), which is
the proposed form and content of
the General Appropriations Act
(GAA). But these have not been
“hidden,” as alleged by some, as
details on automatic appropriations
are in the Budget of Expenditures
and Sources of Financing (BESF).
“What Congress enacts
every year are the New General
Appropriations, which is composed
of Programmed New Appro-
priations amounting to P1.092
trillion and Unprogrammed
Appropriations worth P161.7
billion for 2012,” he said, noting
that the 2012 NEP follows the
format of the 2011 NEP that was
submitted to, and later on approved
by, Congress.
“Legislators can only
change the automatic nature of
these appropriations by amending
the specific laws that authorize
these. To do so via the GAA is a
rider and would be uncons-
titutional,” he said.
Abad further said that
automatic appropriations were not
included in the NEP in order to
avoid what happened in the
authorization of the 2010 Budget,
where Congress changed the
interest rate assumption to “lower”
interest payments. The reduction
was used to illegally increase the
NEP through some P60 billion in
Congressional initiatives, which
were eventually vetoed.
The share of automatic
appropriations in the 2012 budget
decreased by 3.5 percentage points
from last year’s amount which was
43.3 percent of the 2011 GAA.
For 2012, automatic
appropriations include Interest
Payments worth P333.1 billion
(46.0 percent of automatic
appropriations); Internal Revenue
Allotment of local government
units, P273.3 billion (37.8 percent);
customs duties and taxes, including
the Tax Expenditure Fund, P33.0
billion (4.6 percent); Special
Accounts, P26.8 billion (3.7
percent), Retirement and Life
Insurance Premiums, P23.3 billion
(3.2 percent); and Net Lending,
P23.0 billion (3.2 percent).
“This administration is
committed to transparency and
accountability, and that is why all
appropriations—whether automatic
or general appropriations—are all
indicated in the budget books we
have submitted to Congress,” he
said.
Malacañang says investigation on alleged poll fraud in 2007 senatorial elections will continue
he investigation on the alleged massive fraud in the 2007 senatorial elections will continue despite the resignation of Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri from the
Senate on Wednesday, Malacañang said.
“Hindi naman po titigil
‘yung imbestigasyon dahil lang po
nag-resign si Senator Zubiri ,while
that was a very welcome move,”
Deputy Spokesperson Abigail
Valte said during the regular press
briefing on Thursday in
Malacañang.

“We always say that
resignation is dependent on the
person holding the office at
nagsalita na po ang DOJ
(Department of Justice), itutuloy po
nila ‘yung imbestigasyon,” Valte
stressed.
Zubiri stepped down from
the Senate following the allegations
that he benefited from the alleged
massive fraud in 2007 elections.
The former senator, however,
insisted that he won in the 2007
senatorialrace.
Malacañang had earlier
welcomed the resignation of Zubiri,
describing the former senator’s
decision as “an act of
statesmanship.” The Palace
expressed hope that the former
senator will contribute to electoral
reforms.
“We think it’s an act of
statesmanship on his part. But we
have gone further to say that it is
our hope that
he will contribute to the electoral
reform that we so sorely need,”
Valte said.
As to what will happen to
the position in the Senate vacated
by Zubiri, Valte said that it is
entirely dependent on the Senate
Electoral Tribunal (SET).
Following his resignation,
Zubiri announced Thursday that he
will no longer pursue his counter
election protest against lawyer
Aquilino Pimentel III over the
results of the senatorial elections in
2007.
Aquino honors 2011 awardees of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines
resident Benigno Aquino III congratulated this year’s awardees of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) saying the Filipino nation has
high hopes on them for their contribution to nation building.
“We have the highest
hopes for all of you here today,
finalists and awardees alike. For
everything you have already
achieved, allow me to give you my
most heartfelt congratulations,” the
Chief Executive said in a speech
delivered for him by Executive
Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. during
simple awarding ceremonies in
Malacañang on Thursday.
The President also assured
that under his leadership there will
be good governance that creates
renewed hope for a better future for
everyone. Filipinos, he said,
especially the young people, will
no longer opt to go abroad because
of better opportunity created
locally.The country has started to
see positive results of the reform
measures initiated under the new
leadership, the President said.These
reform measures prevent and
decisively address corruption in the
bureaucracy and have promoted a
culture of transparency and
accountability in government
service, he added.
“Through good gover-
nance and a clear blueprint for
national development that will
produce more jobs in the coming
years, we are slowly turning
working abroad as an option,
instead of the necessity it has
become for some of those who
want to attain better lives,” he
said.This year’s TOSP awardees
are role models for the rest of the
country’s youth, the future leaders
of the country who will contribute
immensely to moving the country
forward, the President stressed.At
the same time the President
expressed his gratitude to the
people behind the TOSP awards for
their continuing efforts to celebrate
the youth’s contribution to nation
building.The recipients of this

News Feature: Aurora farmers now proud land-owners by David M. Suyao
AURORA, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur (August 5) – Some 125 farmers here are now proud to be called land owners of the land they till, after receiving their official land titles from Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza as concrete proof of ownership.
Bearing a happy and face
when he embarked from his service
car, Gov. Plaza was met by
Barangay Captain Rodolfo Obguia
and hundreds of Barangay Aurora
officials and residents. But what
catches more of the Governor’s
attention is the number of children
who cheers when they saw the
governor.
“As I recall, the last time
I visited you here in Barangay
Aurora was in 2006. But I only see
a little number of children. Now, I
can’t believe the number of
children I saw here! I have been in
almost all barangays in the
province but your barangay is one
of the most children-populated
barangays in Agusan del Sur,”
Gov. Plaza said.
According to Gov. Plaza,
it is normal that remote rural areas
are expected to bear more children
compared to urban areas, but
couples should control themselves
in order control the population.
“It is not a joke to have
plenty of children to nurture and
prepare their bright future. So I
appeal to all of the couples here to
control yourselves in order to
control the rapid population of
children in your barangay.
For those children who are
in school, do your best to excel in
you studies, because your
provincial government is granting
scholarship to deserving students.
What you have to do is pass the
requirements, and you will enjoy
free college education for a better
future,” Gov. Plaza said.
Going back to the
distribution of land titles, Gov.
Plaza said he did not made a
second thought when Barangay
Captain Obguia approach him in
his office and ask for help for the
titling of their farm lands.
“You will now have
peace of mind because the land you
are working is already yours. Make
the best out of your property so that
all our efforts will not be wasted. I
do not want to hear that after you
hold your land titles, you will use
them for collaterals for loans in the
banks. The tendency is they will
never return to you, and again, the
same problem both of us will
confront someday,” Gov. Plaza
said.
Not only the distribution
of land titles were enjoyed by the
Aurora farmers but Gov. Plaza also
ordered the rehabilitation of the
road from the highway to
Aurora. (PIA-Agusan del Sur)

News Feature: BCPO Inaugurates Quality Service Lane
omplaints are usually processed in a makeshift corner tables marked with “Complaint Desk” in the past. But with the advent of the inauguration of the Quality
Service Lane last August 2, complaint desk corners are now part of history.
Butuan City Police Office
can now boast of the enhanced
facilities of the Quality Service
Lane of its office located right in
the heart of the city. But its
transformation was not an
overnight fairytale story. It started a
few months back with a series of
plans and commitments not only
from the ranks and file of the PNP
personnel but from the local
government of Butuanunder the
leadership of Mayor Ferdinand M.
Amante, Jr. as well.
Acting on the provisions
embodied on the Guide Book for
the Model Police Station Project of
the former C, PNP, PDG Jesus A
Versoza, Police Senior
Superintendent Jose V. Carillo,
City Director, Butuan City Police
Office, Butuan City, after assuming
office, ordered his station
commanders to speed up the
construction or renovation of the
Quality Service Lane of their
respective police stations.
Carillo did not only
envision for the mere establishment
or creation of a simple QSL to five
offices of his police stations in the
different parts of the City of Butuan
but he also aimed for an impressive
one putting into consideration that
Butuan City is the seat of
government of the Caraga Region.
As a result, he began the
construction and renovation of the
QSL facilities of the Butuan City
Police Station 1, which is co-
located with Butuan City Police
Office where he is the city director.
Changes within the
compound of Butuan City Police
Office began to take shape as the
days passed by. The transformation
of the old Complaint Desk into a
new Quality Service Lane was
started at a separate building that
housed the Guardhouse. Expansion
and modifications took place to
accommodate the receiving room
together with other facilities like
chairs, tables, and others.
Reconstruction of the
parking lot within the compound to
fit the new requirement was
considered a challenge due to the
limited space of the compound. But
ingenuity prevailed and finally, a
new parking lot emerged to
accommodate complainants and
walk-in clients guided by signs and
billboard markers. A separate
comfort room for male and female
clients was also constructed for the
purpose.
“We are proud to tell the
people of Butuan that a
standard Quality Service Lane is
finally constructed in this part of
the country to meet the people’s
demands for a service-oriented and
client-friendly police office, Police
Senior Superintendent Jose Carillo
stated. (PNP-PRO 13/PIA-Caraga)
