Phillip Sevilla the new commissioner of BoC

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino appointed Finance Usec. JOHN PHILLIP SEVILLA to be the commissioner of Bureau of Customs replacing Ruffy Biazon, who was force to resign dahil nasabit sa PDAF scam.

Bag namaalam si Biazon sa BoC, he has limited function in customs lalo na nang lumabas ang Executive Order 140.

Gano’n rin kaya ang mangyari kay Commissioner Sevilla?

Remember the trust and confidence was gi-ven only to Secretary Cesar Purisima by the Pre-sident to uproot graft and corruption in customs.

Ano ang masasabing remaining power of the commissioner right NOW?

Hindi kaya matulad kay Biazon si Sevilla na parang lumalabas na figure head na lang? Sorry but that’s the way I look at the picture right now,

Ang tanong nga ng karamihan sa customs kung may maitutulong ba ang bagong commissioner sa mga personnel movement na isinasagawa ng DOF against the BOC employees? Mayroon kaya?

The Bureau of Customs Employee Association (BOCEA) will submit a narrative input to a lawmaker who will deliver a privilege speech in their favor CONDEMING the HARSH TREATMENT of the Department of Finance against BoC personnel and to protect the rights of all employees sa kanilang security of tenure, and the unlawful treatment of management.

And what will happen sa mga BoC Career officials placed under CPRO ng DOF? Will they stay there for good or  how long will they be staying there? Will that depend on the recommendation of Sec. Purisma??

Sila ang may plantilla position sa BoC pero napalitan at ang nakapuwesto ngayon ay retired generals.

Are they really qualified in that position? Militarization and dictatorial ba ang  form of changes o sagot sa pagbabago sa BoC?

Merry Christmas po at Masaganang Bagong taon sa lahat.
