PAGBURA SA PANGALAN NI MAYOR MARCY TEODORO SA BALOTA, PINANAWAGAN SA COMELEC

Pinunit ng Pinoy Aksyon for Governance and the Environment ang sample ng balota na naglalaman ng pangalan ni Marikina Mayor Marcy Teodoro bilang panawagan sa Commission on Election (Comelec) na dapat burahin sa balota si Teodoro sa darating na halalan.

Bilang pagtutol, pinunit mismo ng Chairperson ng grupo na si Bencyrus Ellorin ang sample ballot na may pangalan ng alkalde na ang certificate of candidacy ay kinansela ng Comelec first division.

“Ang paghahain ng COC ni Mayor Teodoro para sa Unang Distrito ay isang malinaw na pambababoy sa proseso ng halalan. Wala itong paggalang sa batas, sa mga botante, at sa prinsipyong patas na halalan,” pagdidiin ng grupo.

“Ang desisyon ng COMELEC laban kay Teodoro ay nagsisilbing babala sa mga pulitiko na ang pagtakbo sa kahit anong lugar ay hindi maaaring gawing laro. May mga batas na dapat sundin,” ayon kay Ellorin.

“Swift action from the COMELEC will demonstrate their commitment to protecting every voter’s right. If the rule of law does not prevail, the Filipino people will lose the essence of democracy," dagdag pa ng grupo.

Ang Pinoy Aksyon ay isang independiyenteng organisasyon na naniniwala na ang pagpapatibay sa batas at karapatan ng mamamayan ay nagpapalakas sa ating demokrasya.

Pinuri ng think tank ang COMELEC dahil sa kanilang pagiging mapagbantay sa pangangalaga sa integridad ng proseso ng halalan sa pamamagitan ng paghatol laban sa maling impormasyon at iba pang iregularidad sa paghahain ng Certificate of Candidacy (COC) para sa halalan sa 2025.

Ayon sa grupo, tama ang desisyon ng COMELEC na kanselahin ang COC ni Teodoro dahil sa material misrepresentation.

Naniniwala ang Pinoy Aksyon na dapat itong magresulta sa pag-alis ng pangalan ng alkalde sa opisyal na listahan ng mga kandidato at sa balota para sa halalan Mayo 2025.

Matatandaang sa desisyon noong Disyembre 11, 2024, kinansela ng First Division ng COMELEC ang kandidatura ni Mayor Marcelino Teodoro ng Lungsod ng Marikina bilang kongresista ng unang distrito ng lungsod dahil sa "material misrepresentation."

Natuklasan ng COMELEC First Division na hindi kwalipikado si Teodoro na tumakbo bilang kongresista ng unang distrito dahil siya ay residente ng ikalawang distrito ng lungsod.

Hinimok din ng grupo ang en banc ng COMELEC na agarang gawing pinal ang desisyon at tiyakin na hindi maisasama ang pangalan ng alkalde sa opisyal na listahan ng mga kandidato at balota ngayong eleksyon.

TEODORO'S BALLOT SPOT DOESN'T MEAN VICTORY

Marikina's Mayor Marcy Teodoro is sweating bullets! Despite his name appearing on the ballot for the District 1 congressional race, his candidacy hangs precariously in the balance.

His Certificate of Candidacy (COC) is under fire, facing potential cancellation due to alleged misrepresentation.

BOOM! If the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) en banc pulls the plug, all those votes for Teodoro? P**f! Gone.

Stray votes—legally meaningless. It's like throwing your ballot in the trash!

Legal experts weigh in: Philippine election law is crystal clear—a canceled COC equals disqualification, regardless of ballot placement.

COMELEC Chairman George Erwin Garcia himself stated that if the cancellation stands, "all votes for Mr. Teodoro will be classified as stray votes." Ouch!

Teodoro's fighting back: He can file a motion for reconsideration, but time is ticking.

A final COMELEC decision against him would be the ultimate knockout punch.

Political analysts urge Teodoro and his team to brace for the worst.

Voters beware! This uncertainty leaves Marikina voters in a bind.

Casting a ballot for Teodoro could be a wasted vote, undermining the election's integrity.

Teodoro's camp needs to shout this from the rooftops—voters deserve to know the risks!

The bottom line? This isn't a done deal.

Mayor Teodoro's political future hangs by a thread, even with his name on the ballot.

Stay tuned for more explosive developments!

Respect Comelec En Banc decisions.

THINK-TANK PRAISES COMELEC'S CANCELLATION OF MARIKINA MAYOR'S CANDIDACY

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has cancelled the Certificate of Candidacy (COC) of Marikina City Mayor Marcelino Teodoro for the 2025 elections due to "material misrepresentation." A think tank, Pinoy Aksyon, lauded the COMELEC's decision, highlighting its vigilance against irregularities in COC filings.

"Ang desisyon ng Comelec sa kaso ni Teodoro ay isang babala sa mga pulitiko na wala karapatan na tumakbo sa anumang lugar na gusto nila. May mga batas na dapat sundin,” Pinoy Aksyon stated in a press release.

The COMELEC resolution stated: “Taking all these circumstances together, We find that the petitioners were able to discharge their burden of proving that Respondent deliberately committed material misrepresentation in his CoC. Hence, we are constrained to grant these Petitions and order the cancellation of his CoC for the position of Member, House of Representatives for the 1st District, Marikina City,”

One of the petitioners against Teodoro is Senator Koko Pimentel, who is also running for the same position. The COMELEC noted that Teodoro's counter-affidavit and position paper "fully support the claim" that he maintained legal residence in Marikina's 2nd District, citing his address in that district in submitted documents. While Teodoro filed his COC for Marikina's 1st District, his submitted address was in Barangay Tumana, 2nd District.

Teodoro's defense was that his original domicile was in Barangay San Roque, 1st District. However, the COMELEC resolution countered: “If respondent (Teodoro) intended to abandon his domicile of choice in Brgy. Tumana and established his residence back in his original domicile in Brgy. San Roque, he should not have used the Brgy. Tumana address in these documents,”

The COMELEC's decision serves as a reminder to politicians that they cannot choose their opponents, and that the rule of law prevails.

Pinoy Aksyon emphasized this point, stating: “Kasi pag hindi nananaig ang rule of law, talo ang mamamayang Pilipino,”

Pinoy Aksyon for Governance and the Environment, Inc. is an independent organization that believes in strengthening laws and human rights for a stable Philippine society.

SAAN NAPUNTA? COA EXPOSES MARIKINA'S ₱50M CONFIDENTIAL FUND: TOP 8 SPENDER IN METRO!

Marikina City spent ₱50 million on confidential funds over two years, ranking among the top eight highest spenders in Metro Manila, according to a 2023 Commission on Audit (COA) report.

This places it significantly higher than several other cities in the region.

The city allocated ₱25 million annually for confidential funds in 2022 and 2023.

This substantial expenditure contributed to Marikina's placement among the top eight highest spenders on confidential funds in Metro Manila, as detailed in the COA report.

Makati City topped the list, with ₱240 million spent on confidential funds in 2022 and 2023. Other cities with significant spending include:

- Manila: ₱120 million in 2022 and 2023.
- Quezon City: ₱100 million in the same period.
- Pasay City: ₱80 million in 2022 and ₱60 million in 2023.
- Caloocan City: ₱60 million in both years.
- Parañaque City: ₱49.5 million in both years.
- Muntinlupa City: ₱44.29 million in 2022 and ₱44.08 million in 2023.
- San Juan City: ₱17.3 million in 2022 and ₱16 million in 2023.
- Malabon City: ₱15 million in 2022 and ₱13.7 million in 2023.

In contrast, cities like Pasig, Taguig, Mandaluyong, Las Piñas, Navotas, and Valenzuela reported zero confidential expenses during this period.

The question remains: where should these confidential funds be allocated?

According to Joint Circular No. 2015-01, issued by the COA, DBM, DILG, DND, and GCG, local government units' spending on confidential funds should be directly related to their Peace and Order Programs (POPs).

Activities eligible for such spending include crime prevention and law enforcement, capacity building for law enforcement personnel and volunteers, and programs addressing issues like illegal drugs, gambling, insurgency, smuggling, human trafficking, and illegal mining and logging.

Despite these confidential fund expenditures, the COA also reported that Marikina has a debt amounting to ₱3.6 billion.

Small-Scale Rice and Corn Millers Face Collapse Amid Import Challenges

Over the past decade, thousands of small-scale rice and corn millers in the Philippines have closed, leaving over 1,000 barangays without local milling services. Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data shows a 6.3% drop in barangays with rice and corn mills, from 16,476 in 2013 to 15,436 in 2023.

This decline is largely driven by competition from large milling businesses benefiting from cheaper imported grains. The Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food Inc. (PCAFI) attributes this trend to deregulation and reduced tariffs on imports. PCAFI President Danilo Fausto warned that large-scale millers dominate the market, leaving smaller operators struggling to survive.

"The loss of small millers is not just economic but deeply social," Fausto said, as rural communities lose vital milling services.

PSA data highlights the growing reliance on imports, with the rice import dependency ratio jumping from 8.1% in 2012 to 23% in 2022. Meanwhile, recent tariff cuts—15% for rice and as low as 5% for corn—have further jeopardized small millers. By late 2022, only 12,376 barangays had rice mills, and 4,578 had corn mills.

These closures threaten farmers’ livelihoods and rural food security. Advocacy groups are urging government action, including subsidies for equipment upgrades, low-interest loans, and tighter import controls.

Saving small-scale millers is crucial to protecting rural livelihoods and ensuring the nation's food security. Without intervention, more communities risk losing these essential services.

SENATOR PIMENTEL RENEWS CALL FOR STRONGER ROAD SAFETY MEASURES

Senator Koko Pimentel is again urging for stricter measures to combat the increasing number of road accidents in the Philippines.

His call follows a recent Department of Health (DOH) report indicating 577 road accidents between December 22, 2024, and January 2, 2025.

“Hindi na dapat natin balewalain ang mga aksidente sa kalsada. Kailangan ng mas mahigpit na batas at mas mahusay na pagpapatupad upang maprotektahan ang ating mga mamamayan,” Senator Pimentel stated, emphasizing the urgent need for stronger laws and enforcement to protect citizens.

Pimentel, the sponsor of Senate Bill No. 1015, aims to amend Article 365 of Act No. 3815 (The Revised Penal Code) to address reckless driving and improve road safety.

The bill proposes stricter penalties for traffic violations, improved driver training, and enhanced road infrastructure. It also highlights the need for a societal shift in attitude towards responsible driving.

The proposed amendment to Article 365 would increase prison sentences for reckless driving.

“Maiiwasan at mababawasan ang mga aksidente sa kalsada sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatupad ng mas mahigpit na batas at pagpapahusay sa ating sistema ng transportasyon,“ he added, highlighting the potential impact of stronger laws and improved transportation systems in reducing accidents.

Senator Pimentel concluded by stressing the importance of public awareness and responsible driving, urging motorists to prioritize safety and adhere to traffic laws.

“Tandaan natin na ang bawat buhay ay mahalaga. Maging responsable sa pagmamaneho at sundin ang mga batas trapiko upang maiwasan ang mga aksidente,” he said.

PIMENTEL LEADS IN MARIKINA DISTRICT 1, QUIMBO STRONG IN DISTRICT 2: NEW SURVEY REVEALS VOTER PREFERENCES

Marikina City, January 3, 2025 – A new survey, “Pulso ng Marikeños,” conducted between December 16 and 30, 2024, reveals significant voter preferences in the upcoming Marikina congressional elections.

The survey polled 2,800 respondents in District 1 and 2,900 in District 2.

Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III holds a commanding lead in District 1, securing 2,200 votes (78.57%).

His extensive experience as a lawmaker, commitment to Marikina residents, and initiatives such as the “BTS” program (Baha, Trabaho, Sapatos), medical missions, and livelihood programs were cited as key reasons for his strong support.

Marikina Mayor Marcelino "Marcy" Teodoro (NUP) received 600 votes (21.43%).

In District 2, former House Deputy Speaker Romero "Miro" Quimbo garnered the highest number of votes with 1,500 (51.72%), attributed to his established programs and legislative track record.

Donn Carlo Favis (NUP) received 700 votes (24.14%), while Mauro Arce and Jose Jaime Enage (both Independent) received 450 votes (15.52%) and 250 votes (8.62%), respectively.

Analysis: The survey highlights significant challenges for Mayor Teodoro in District 1.

Some respondents attributed his low vote count to his recent COMELEC disqualification regarding residency concerns, raising questions about potential stray votes.

Further fueling concern, the survey notes a lack of public comment from the Mayor regarding Marikina City’s 3.615 billion debt.
