WAR (WE ARE RATIONAL) AGAINST THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EO 366 – QUEDANCOR Employees !!!

Background:

As a whole, Quedan and Rural Credit Gurantee Corporation (QUEDANCOR) has a mandate to provide accessible and affordable credit to agri-industry sector guided by its charter Republic Act 7393. Performances show the continuous better social service throughout the whole nation for more than 30 years being a self-reliant Government Owned and Controlled/Government Financing Institution (GOCC/GFI) – without the provision of the annual General Appropriations Act (GAA). Generated about 47 billion pesos of loans to various individuals, partnerships, associations, cooperatives, and others benefiting more or less 5 million Filipinos nationwide.

Part of this mandate is to create branches or offices in every region and provinces. Majority of offices were formally established almost seven (7) years ago. This office is required to provide credit services covering the whole provinces. On its peak of operations, there are 1,600 employees being hired by the management to implement various programs. Eventually, when QUEDANCOR was involved in swine scandal, it seemed that it will be deactivated on the time that majority of its employees (about 700 employees) were forced to resign and look for a much sustainable work to earn for a living. Today, there are only 900 employees doing multi-task function that cater to clientele needs - In fact, there are no redundancies in our functions!

Some District Office has generated approximately more than 500 million of loans benefiting more or less 10,000 individuals. We provide services as far as Islands, Peninsulas, Mountains and other remote areas of the Philippines.

July 1, 2009 – Implementation of Rationalization Plan:

At least 600 employees of the QUEDANCOR are directly affected by the implementation of Executive Order 366. There is no assurance for this number of employees where they will be placed once this policy is implemented.

Only 258 employees will be retained to the QUEDANCOR based on the Rationalization Plan recently approved by the board.

The present set-up of offices will be integrated into one Area Field Office (AFO) per cluster/megaregion requiring only 31 employees. How does this number can perform well of their tasks, considering the present situation doing a multi-task function? Just for example, cluster #2 which includes the National Capital Region, Southern Tagalog Region and Bicol Region with approximately 15 offices and about 150 employees will be streamlined into one AFO as Sto. Tomas, Batangas as the place of office.

Impractical, not revelant solution on this time of Global Economic Crisis:

IMPRACTICAL… the management, government and community will not get bottom line benefits. It may costs less in essence, may be less operating expenses to be incurred, but this may also result to huge amounts of past dues/overdues and problematic accounts based on current portfolio – which is designed or programmed requiring more labor. This will displace great number of employees. This is a violation of QUEDANCOR mandate which states that this will provide accessible and affordable credit to agri-industry. This is may be for the benefit of the few, particular for those who will be granted the increase of salary! This is impractical and not relevant decision of the management.

NOT RELEVANT… the government gave the assurance that no single government employee will be laid off in this time of global economic crisis and also issued two executive orders, EO 782 and EO 783 INSTITUTING MEASURES TO ASSIST WORKER AFFECTED BY THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS AND TEMPORARY FILLING UP OF VACANT POSITIONS IN THE GOVERNMENT, PROVIDING FOR EMPLOYMENT INTERVENTIONS TO SAVE AND CREATE JOBS AS PART OF THE ECONOMIC RESILIENCY PLAN respectively. And all other government agencies under the executive branch are suspended in the implementation of Rationalization Plan.

" Mas masahol pa sa mga nagnakaw na kumuha ng posibleng dagdag na benepisyo para sa mga empleyado ang inityatibang ito, ito ang tuluyang kikitil sa kabuhayan at pag-asa ng mga kawani na matagalang nagsilbi kasama ng mga pamilya na dito’y umaasa."

NO TO RATIONALIZATION PLAN !!!

NO TO STREAMLINING OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES !!!

FIGHT FOR GOVERNMENT WORKER’S RIGHT !!!
FIGHT FOR DEMOCRATIC, CONSULTATIVE & ALTERNATIVE WAY OF SOLVING PROBLEMS !!!
