I am interested in tourism. As of the moment I am doing the processing of visit - visa to Dubai with my sister as my agent. But I want to explore and have my own travel agency where I can also have job orders for maids in Dubai.

20-80% sharing system questioned

A Dagupan City councilor wants the controversial draft ordinance on parking implemented to shore up revenues for the city.

Insisting the city needs money, Councilor Luis Samson Jr. revived his proposal for the approval of his long pending draft ordinance seeking to fix the rate of parking fees to be charged motorists, including the sharing scheme on parking fees between the city and a private pay parking contractor.

Samson is proposing a 20-80% sharing basis on the net profit on parking fees in favor of the private contractor, which some of his colleagues find to be grossly disadvantageous to the city.

Councilor Alex de Venecia pushed for the deferment of the approval of Ordinance No. 0-292 to enable the principal sponsor at least one month to conduct another round of public hearings on the measure.

Draft Ordinance 0-292 compliments an approved ordinance last year that designated which roads in the city as pay parking areas. Read more

Mayor Benjamin Lim is showing the way to keep jueteng out.

The city mayor has made known his displeasure at the illegal numbers game by putting up streamers carrying the message: “Dagupan City must be jueteng-free”

He made the move just after he issued a memorandum to Supt. Edgar Basbas, police chief, ordering him to submit his report about the resurgence of the illegal numbers game in Dagupan within 48 hours with a stern warning in case the reports are confirmed.

Lim, now in Vancouver, Canada attending a seminar as one of the representatives of the League of Cities of the Philippines, had directed the installation of the streamers in strategic areas in the city.

The message of Lim in the streamers is ostensibly directed at gambling lords, operators, bet collectors and protectors of the illegal numbers game that they are unwelcome in Dagupan City. Read more

OVER DELAY IN ADD’L PAY

LINGAYEN–Gov. Victor Agbayani held a dialogue with department heads of the provincial government last Wednesday to explain the delay in the release of the additional compensation allowance (adcom) of employees.

The promised bonanza of P1,000 per employee, was retroactive to January.

It was learned that employees have become restive over the long delay in the release of their financial benefits which they earlier expected to use for the school enrollment of their children.

Agbayani told department heads that the adcom as programmed would be sourced from the additional Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) of the province for 2000 and 2001 but which were withheld by the national government.

Provincial Budget Officer Hilaria Claveria said the amount due to Pangasinan is estimated at P110 million, and the province is expecting some P65 million to P80 million in interest rates alone. Read more

LINGAYEN–The problem on illegal drugs in Pangasinan is still manageable.

This was the assessment of Supt. Haris Fama, action officer of the Provincial Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group (PAIDSTOG) of the illegal drugs problem in the province.

However, while maintaining that all the raids conducted by PAIDSTOG were successful, Fama lamented though that some of the cases filed against the accused were being dismissed by the courts on grounds of mere technicalities and lack of interest on the part of complainants.

He said that the usual defense of the suspects in illegal drugs case that lawmen planted the evidence found on them sometimes gain sympathies from judges.

“We are now getting the support of barangay officials whenever there is an anti-drug operation for them to serve as witnesses,” he said.

Pointing out that the problem of illegal drugs can not be eradicated by the police alone, Fama appealed to the public to help by reporting any person in their vicinity who they suspect to be pushing or using illegal drugs. — APE
