'Will President Marcos show the resolve needed to avert a likely crisis that could arise from a faulty system?' Opinion ThoughtLeaders
Consider this: 90% of what we see around us has been carried by ships, with roughly 68% as import volumes and 22% going to our respective dining tables. Now, what would happen if how we received these goods were altered? The country would tailspin to a catastrophic, irreversible economic downturn.
Would President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. acquiesce to the wishes of the project proponents, which include a prominent family closely associated with him as TOP-CRMS partner, or would he listen to the The PPA has considered container deposit as an expense that would be eliminated in the implementation of TOP-CRMS. It must be emphasized that container deposit from its very wording is a refundable sum of money and not a direct cost, contrary to how it is described in the matrix. I find it dubious that the alleged P23,483,857,860 can be considered as savings for the non-payment of container deposits.
At present, there is no PPA administrative fee being charged. Hence, the P101,666,076.00 amount of savings from said charge upon TOP-CRMS implementation is clearly incorrect. There already exists digital container tracking and booking applications of international shipping lines, terminal/off-dock CY operators, so the implementation of PPA’s proposed container monitoring system would be an additional layer of bureaucracy that would not benefit, but merely burden, the public.
