President Benigno S. Aquino III urged the people to take part in government efforts to bring the country to real progress and development through the “daang matuwid” and get rid of the graft and corrupt practices in the bureaucracy as he promised that those who will abide by these reforms will be rewarded while those who will do otherwise will face the consequences of their malevolent deeds.
In his speech during the 110th Founding Anniversary celebration of the Bureau of Customs (BoC) at the BoC Social Hall in Port Area, Manila on Monday, President Aquino encouraged the Filipinos, especially those working in the BoC, to continue supporting the Aquino government’s initiatives to achieve sustainable progress saying that good deeds will be rewarded.
“Sa mga susunod sa atin pong tuwid na landas, alam ko naman po meron kayong karampatang kakulangan sa benepisyo… meron hong tinatapos na plano kasama po si Secretary Purisima at Secretary Butch Abad, meron po tayong productivity incentive bonus na gagawin ng pormal na sistema kung saan pag meron kayong itinulong at inambag sa ikahuhusay ng gobyerno sa bawat ahensya, tanggapan ng ating pong gobyerno, may kaukulang bonus points dagdag po sa inyong sahod,” the President said.
“Gawin ninyo yung tama, gagantimpalaan kayo ng atin pong estado…” he stressed.
President Aquino underscored the very important role of the people in attaining the government’s goals to uplift the standards of living of millions of Filipinos through various developmental programs.
“Tulungan ninyo akong iayos ang sistema at sisiguraduhin ko naman na iaayos rin po ang inyong estado ng atin pong pamahalaan, gawin ninyo ang tama at tama naman po ang gagawin ng gobyerno para sa inyo,” the President said.
The Chief Executive also said that the government remains committed in its efforts to go after those unscrupulous individuals who serve as obstacles in the nation’s progress.
He added that the government will continue to dispense all necessary actions to bring back to the people the spirit of integrity and love for country.
“Buo ang paninindigan natin sa pagbagtas sa tuwid na daan, kailan man hindi tayo magpapasindak o magpapatiklop, hindi po natin palalagpasin ang kabuktutang dulot ng katiwalian,” the President noted.
“Ibinabalik natin ang malinaw na pag-unawa ng lipunan sa kung ano ang mali at tama… ito po ang daan na magpapalayo sa atin sa kahirapan at magdadala sa atin sa kasaganaan,” he added.
Also present during the event were other government officials led by Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima and BoC Commissioner Rozanno Rufino Biazon, among others.
Biazon said that the celebration coincides with a momentous event for the Bureau after posting record breaking total cash collection of P256.810 billion for the year 2011, the highest collection so far in the BoC history.
The BoC chief also assured several changes and transformation within the Bureau as directed by President Aquino in line with his social contract with the Filipino people.
