Never Give Personal Information To Unknown Callers
On August 8, 2006 , a former bank manager was found guilty of Estafa by Branch 5, Regional Trial Court, Kalibo, Aklan. This week a former Municipal Treasurer of Ibajay, Aklan and a section chief in the provincial treasurer’s office who went absent without leave was arrested for Estafa. She posted bail bond for her temporary liberty. Of course there is the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Ms. Toriano is said to have a shortage of about P4 million in the Office of the Provincial Treasurer, Kalibo, Aklan. Since last year, Ms. Toriano’s whereabout is unknown. According to the provincial treasurer, Mr. Evan Timtiman, all communications from his office to Ms. Toriano was returned. Until today, the fate of the P4 million is unknown too.
If the said P4 million is missing, can the provincial treasurer relocate it?
A private person whom Ms. Toriano allegedly issued the check that bounced valued at a few hundred thousand pesos was so quick to secure warrant of arrest to Ms. Toriano.

Yesterday, the EF received a telephone call from a person who introduced himself as Mr. Marlon Gempisao. He claimed he is a service provider of an international bank. He offered the EF to obtain a loan with the use of his credit card. The offer was to get a loan at 0.75 percent interest at his bank payable from 12 to 36 monthly installments. EF declined the offer as he needed no loan.
Gempisao continuously persuaded EF who continuously refused. Gempisao used several tricks to convinced EF of his offer. He offered three supplementary credit cards if EF just borrowed money. EF related to Gempisao the series of fraudulent transactions in Aklan such as the Budol Budol Gang and the Cellphone racket. The telephone conversation took about 30 minutes. He just stopped talking after EF informed him that in another line "my secretary is now checking your identity with Citibank, Makati."
After the conversation, EF e-mailed Citibank inquiring the identity of Marlon Gempisao. Here is the answer to the inquiry:
"Dr. Ambrosio Villorente,
Thank you for your message regarding Mr. Marlon Gempisao. Please note that Mr. Gempisao is not an employee of Citibank.
If you have further questions, please send a message or call My Citi Online Customer Service at 1-800-374-9700. Representatives are available to assist you 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Thank you for using My Citi. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
Sincerely,
My Citi Online Customer Service."
In case you will receive similar telephone call, do not give any personal information. Better stop politely the conversation. That person at the other end maybe planning to commit fraud.
Last month, the DepEd controversy was in the eastern side of Aklan, specifically Fr. Julian Rago Memorial High School, Feleciano, Balete, Aklan. It was between the principal and some teachers of that school on one hand and the descendants of the lot donor on the other.
The controversy has badly affected the studies of the students studying there.
The case just came about because of some things attached to the lot donated for the school site. Those unwritten provisions provide infinite rights and benefits to the descendants of the donor. This benefits become impediment to the implementation of school rules, laws and regulations. For future donations, it will be to the best and mutual interest of the donor and donee to donate or accept donations devoid of any strings attached.
This week, the controversy shifted to the western side of Aklan. It is between two principals of the Numancia Integrated School (NIS), Numancia, Aklan. The problem came about between Ms. Amor Magdaluyo and Mr. Michael Rapiz. Ms. Magdaluyo is much senior in the position being in the NIS since its organization. Mr. Rapiz is assigned in NIS on August 1, 2006.
In less than one month, Mr. Rapiz went his way without informing Ms. Magdaluyo. Mr. Rapiz went on travel without the knowledge of Ms. Magdaluyo, made cash advances for travel and did some supervision teaching without having been properly introduced.
According to their agreement, with Dr. Victorina Laroza, Schools Division Superintendent, Mr. Rapiz will do supervisory function while Ms. Magdaluyo the administrative function.
What is the difference between supervisory and administrative functions? These terms are hard to distinguish from each other. Where administrative function is, there is supervisory function too.
Moreover, perhaps the upper management forgot to apply the principle of "one boss, one personnel". The assignment of Mr. Rapiz in NIS has created two chiefs in NIS. Who will prevail? This will enhance jealousy between the two. It will be also difficult for the subordinates whom to follow: Ms. Magdaluyo or Mr. Rapiz? In an office, there must only be one chief of office. This is also in line with the public administration principle: "Unity of Command". With Ms. Magdaluyo and Mr. Rapiz as commanders in NIS, two commanders will issue two confusing orders to their subordinates. Whom to follow?
To stop the NIS controversy, let one of the two principals be a subordinate to the chief or principal. Better still if one of them is given assignment in another school. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
