In an effort to help thousands of families displaced by the latest typhoons that hit the country, Secretary Ronnie V. Puno of the Department of the Interior and Local Government ( DILG ) today called on all city and municipal mayors to identify lands for socialised housing and resettlement areas in acceptance of the provisions of the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992 or Republic Act 7279.

In a directive, Puno entreated city and civil regimes to conduct an inventory of home, government, unregistered or deserted and other lands for the purpose of determining which lands may be considered for socialized housing and resettlement for the immediate and future needs of the badly off and homeless in urbanized areas.

‘I urge our mayors to act with pressure and fasttrack the submission of this inventory so that we may be able to help the various families rendered homeless by storms Ondoy and Pepeng,’ he said.

Under RA 7279, within one year from its effectivity, all town and municipal central authorities shall conduct a stock of all lands and improvements within their own localities, and furnish the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council ( HUDCC ) a copy of its inventory which shall be updated each 3 years.

The law further states that LGUs shall conduct the inventory in coordination with concerned agencies, and take into consideration’the degree of availability of basic services and facilities, their accessibility and proximity to job sites and other industrial opportunities, and the particular number of registered beneficiaries.’

Puno spotted , however , that a majority of cities and municipalities have not been able to comply with the wants of the law.

He said town and civic local chief operatives should direct their own planning and development officials as well as their elected zoning administrators to conduct the inventory using the Land Inventory Form prescribed by the HUDCC, and submit the same beginning the first week of 2010 and every quarter afterward.

Ronnie Puno also directed DILG regional and field offices to assist LGUs in their areas to help the submission of the said documents and monitor their compliance.

There’s a piece of good news coming out of the nation’s political scene. When everyone appears to be harping on negativity and filthy tactics just to push ahead of the pack and get the eye of the public, there’s one vice presidential aspirant that’s bucking the trend and showing his preference for politeness in politics. He is Secretary Ronnie Puno of the Department of Interior and Local Government. The DILG chief has announced his dedication to a conduct of a civil and a perceptive campaign.

Secretary Puno is one of the vice presidential aspirants for next year’s elections and he’s the preferred candidate of the administration party to partner with Secretary Gilberto Teodoro of Department of Defense. Ronnie Puno has revealed his commitment for an intelligent conduct of campaign for next year’s elections during his speaking engagement at the Manila Overseas Press Club. It is here where the secretary discussed the theme of politeness in politics using the post-election as the ideal venue for correct healing and real reconciliation. Here is a short part of his speech delivered in front of the press club ;

‘Great hopes and expectations come with this very vital political exercise. The 2010 elections should attain 2 things : it should mark a shift in political campaigning from vicious and soiled to civil, lofty and agenda-driven. Issues and platform should rule the political discourse, not negativity, mudslinging or name-calling.’

These are fascinating words coming from Secretary Ronnie Puno and these can really serve the electoral process if the other interested applicants can follow the lead. The secretary is all for the right conduct of the elections where rivals running for the same office should argue based totally on issues and will not resort to black indoctrination. And he has obviously said that the 2010 elections should be different in a way that there’ll be no extra space for lies and misinformation. He also advised the necessity to have a new start in politics and assumed that now may be the time to have a new sort of politics. And since he believes that this will be tough, he has guaranteed that he’s going to take the lead.

We live in the rural Midwest and have a choice between 3 TV suppliers ; our local wire company, Dish Network and DirecTV Satellite services. Deciding between the 3 was an engaging experience. To make it easy I wrote down a catalogue of necessities and an analysis of costs for each service to provide those requirements.

Our wants are :

Service to four televisions

DVR or TiVo type service on at least two of those TVs

High definition channels, the more the better

Movie packages like HBO, Cinemax and Starz

Ability to buy Pay per view football games as required

good choice of kids channels for my babies

good consumer service

equipment that made sense to use

The goal was to find all of that for as inexpensive as possible. Our local company has the benefit of being local, but they had to charge a lot more simply because of how small they are.

DirecTV was an option we’d had before, but to get service to all 4 TVs ( 2 of them are HD ) it would have cost about $30 per month more just because of all the receivers we’d need and the other miscellaneous charges they have.

We ended up with Dish Network because they are charging us about $100/month for all of that we mentioned above. We’ve got a large selection of channels including films and sports, about fifty HD channels, PPV access, and a single receiver serves 2 TVs at once, where each are fully independent and each have their own DVR capacities. It was most unlikely to beat their deal.

We had some Problems at the beginning with a flawed receiver, but have since changed that out to a better one and also updated our entire house to be fully HD. Our local Dish Network rep and installer have been extremely useful and do not make life difficult. Overall we have been happy with their services.

Some quarters are being too snobbish in dismissing as a light ticket the administration party’s team-up of Defense Secretary Gibo Teodoro and Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronnie Puno, given the current, recognition of the Noynoy Aquino-Mar Roxas tandem.

Those well informed about Philippine electoral politics know that under the present political landscape and dynamics, the Gibo-Ronnie ticket is basically the team to beat.

Opposition Senator Jinggoy Estrada himself claimed that Ronnie Puno alone is a formidable candidate as VP.

Demographics is also leaned in favor of the administration ticket.

In her column in Malaya Business insight, Ms. Ellen Tordesillas wrote that’political advisor Malou Tiquia, in a presentation on’Developments in the 2010 election campaign’ in a forum backed by the Ateneo college of Government, expounded that of the 45,029,443 registered voters as of March 2009, nine million belong to age 18-35 years old.

Election observers expect 22% of citizens would come from the youth sector.

‘If these young folk would identify with someone in their age range, they’d have 3 to pick from,’ Tiquia said, specifically : Teodoro, Chiz Escudero of the National people’s Coalition, who will be turning forty ( the minimum age obligation to be president ) on October 10 ; and the Liberal Party’s Noynoy Aquino.

as significantly, Tiquia spotted that’the past three countrywide elections showed a median of 74.25 voters turnout.

That would imply about thirty three million out of the nearly 46 million registered voters….To win in a contest of 4 or 5 presidential applicants, the winner should get at least thirty percent of the votes or 10 million votes.’

Because surveys show that even with all the mud thrown at President Arroyo, she still has a solid 25% support ( or approval rating ) among Filipinos, that would transpose into about 8.25 million voters going to the anointed bets of President Arroyo.

the rest of those dissatisfied with the President, which number around 45% would vote for the other opposition bets-meaning that the likes of Noynoy, Erap and Chiz would have to fight over this 45%. The 30% who are uncertain could go either way.

This eventuality actually gives the Gibo-Ronnie team a lead because even without doing anything they’re already guaranteed of 8.25 million of the 10,000,000 votes or so needed to win in 2010, by being identified with President Arroyo.

This prognosis is buttressed by Tiquia’s observation that in 1992, Fidel Ramos won with only 5,342,321 votes ( 16.62% of total registered electorate ) over Miriam Santiago who got 4,468,133.

She likewise observed that Arroyo was announced after being credited with 12,905,808 votes ( 29.64 % ) over Fernando Poe Jr.’s 11,782, 232 votes.

Remember that FVR run in an overcrowded field that encompassed Santiago, Danding Cojuangco, Ramon Mitra, Imelda Marcos, Jovito Salonga and Salvador Laurel, each of them separately running, respectively, under the People’s Reform Party, the Nationalist folks’s Coalition, Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, Kilusang Bagong Lipunan, Liberal Party-PDP Laban, and the Nacionalista Party.

In 2004, Arroyo’s rivals besides FPJ were Ping Lacson of the LDP-Aquino Wing, Raul Roco of the Alyansang Pag-asa/Aksyon Demokratiko, and Eduardo Villanueva of the Bangon Pilipinas.

therefore in a field of four or 5 major presidential aspirants, it doesn’t take an overpowering majority to win the elections.

plus the Gibo-Ronnie tandem is warranted of some 8 million votes at the beginning of the race by just being recommended by President Arroyo.

This, together with the administration party’s well-oiled political machinery reaching down to the grassroots level and the candidates’ qualifications, is the clear edge of the Gilbert Teodoro-Ronnie Puno tandem.
