Carry out the order

RETIRED B/Gen. Ernesto Aradanas was tasked by Customs Commissioner John Sevilla to resign to his present post as Port Collector of Davao.

Ito ay bunsod sa hindi pagsunod sa kanyang utos to issue a warrant of seizure and detention (WSD) sa isang suspected oil shipment na responsibilidad ng isang district collector.

Hindi raw agad sinunod ni retarded ‘este retired general ang order ni Commissioner dahil sa kanyang pananaw ay dapat munang malaman at ma-determine muna kung ano ang naging violation para maisyuhan ng WSD ng isang district collector.

May evidence at rason ba naman si commissioner para sa kanyang order to issue WSD sa nasabing kargamento? May “proof on hand” ba ang commissioner’s office? O baka naman deregatory information lang ito tulad ng mga ginagawa sa ibang kargamento na naging excuse without verifying or evidence para lang mapigilan ang proseso na kanilang pinaghihinalaang shipment?

I think the retired general has the right to defy the order and in the case of the missing orange shipment that was already released by using fake documents that was put under alert by the Bureau of Customs -Intelligence Group.

Sino ang dapat sisihin for this matter?

Ito ba’ng ALERT ORDER ay nakarating sa tamang

oras sa office ni General Aradanas? Tiyak naman hindi nila papayagan makalabas ang kargamento kung natanggap nila nang maaga ang alert order. Pero kung sinadyang palasutin ito, dapat managot ang mga Customs enforcer at Intel for FAILURE to detect fraud and intelligence.

Ang problema kasi wala naman accountability at security of tenure ang mga retiradong heneral na ini-appoint sa BOC ng Department of Finance under ORAM .

Ang bitbit lang nilang appointment is trust and confidence by the appointing authority. Hirit ni Heneral Aradanas, ipaglalaban daw niya ang isyung ito.
