MSOpinion 'Anti-corruption body declared redundant'
“While Malacañang has seen it fit to abolish an agency tasked to run after the corrupt in the bureaucracy but very little to show for it, it seems that the scourge of corruption still runs rampant even with the advent of a new administration”
Under the EO, the jurisdiction, powers, and functions of the PACC will be transferred to the Office of the Deputy Executive Secretary for Legal Affairs. The abolition of the PACC, according to Tony La Viña, a former dean of the Ateneo School of Government and a fellow columnist in this paper, is a good decision by the president as there are multiple ways to make erring public officials accountable anyway.
Informed sources tell us, for instance, that two officials of the Bureau of Customs who come from influential families are raking in grease money through the so-called “tara” system that deprives the government of revenues that should go to the national treasury and used for infrastrucure and social services such as education and health but end up in private pockets.
As a consequence, the traders and brokers will pay demurrage and storage fees with the shipping lines and at the port. In order to avoid the delay in the exit, they will be forced to pass through these two officials, but instead of facilitating the immediate release of the cargoes, the two will require the traders and brokers to produce more documents.
