BUSINESS IS GOOD BUT NOT DURING OFFICE HOURS – CSC
Engaging in business to augment one’s salary is good, but please not during office hours. This is the reminder of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to government officials and employees.
While employees need to augment their income to cope with rising prices, Civil Service Commission Chair Karina Constantino-David said that “public officials and employees are still bound to discharge their duties with utmost responsibility, integrity and competence and to uphold public interest over personal interest.”
The CSC made the reminder in view of the observed practice of government employees and officials doing business right in the offices where they work like selling insurance or real estate, contracting out specialized services, enlisting in multi-level marketing and direct selling of commodities and merchandise like food, cosmetics, clothing, and others.
According to the CSC, “all government officials and employees should strictly observe and abide by related rules and policies on entrepreneurial activities and observe a high standard of ethics in public service.”
The CSC Chair also reminded employees that the conduct of business or economic ventures should not conflict or tend to conflict with their official functions. Moreover, government resources, facilities, equipment and supplies should not be utilized in the conduct of private business or economic ventures.
AVERAGE INFLATION RATE FOR 2005 AT 7.6 PERCENT –NEDA
Average Inflation for the year 2005 stood at 7.6 percent according to Secretary Augusto B. Santos of the National Economic Development Authority. Santos cited the slightly lower domestic rice prices and relatively cheaper crude oil in the world market that pegged the inflation rate to 6.6 percent in December, 2006.
According to the Planning Secretary, together with the ongoing rice harvests, aggregate rice prices declined by –0.1 mainly due to price decreases in Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Cordillera Administrative Region, Mimaropa, Southern and Central Mindanao and Caraga,
In Western Visayas, highest monitored price of regular milled rice per kilogram was P 22, with the lowest at P18. Prices of rice stabilized within this range.
The lowering of the average Dubai crude oil price from a high of $53.96 in October to $51.39 in November together with the gains made by the peso against the dollar from P55.70 to a Dollar in October to P53.60 in December led to lesser inflation pressure.
However, the 7.6 average inflation rate for 2005 is higher than the projected target of 4.0-5.0 percent for 2005 due to crude oil-related increases. Inflation rate for 2004 was 6 percent.
Core inflation rate continued its downtrend from 6.1 in November of 2005 to 5.8 percent in December averaging at 7.0 in 2005 compared to 5.7 in 2004.
Santos predicts that in 2006 inflation rate will be 8.0-8.5 percent. He hopes to keep inflation within the forecast. (PIA6) /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
