ALEADER of the House of Representatives last Sunday urged the Palace and the leadership of the 17th Congress to abolish the Governance Commission for the government-owned and -controlled corporations (GOCCs).
In line with the call of President Duterte to eliminate redundant, duplicative and overlapping functions and organizations of the Executive Branch, at least 20 lawmakers have authored House Bill (HB) 3014 repealing of Republic Act (RA) 10149, or GOCC Governance Act of 2011, and abolishing the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG).
House Committee on Public Information Chairman Party-list Rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy of Bagong Henerasyon, one of authors of the HB 3014, said instead of piloting the development and growth of GOCCs, the GCG “became another bureaucratic layer in the already-confounded structure of checks and balances and has been taking up valuable time and resources of the GOCCs”.
“We deem this abolition as necessary and we embodied our sentiments in House Bill 3014. The GCG is too slow. There are still too many GOCCs or state corporations,” she said.
“Functions and duties of the abolished GCG will be transferred to different departments with similar functions and duties. My prime candidate to take over GCG functions is the Presidential Management Staff,” Herrera-Dy added.
According to Herrera-Dy, prior to the passage of RA 10149, all the GOCCs were under the control and supervision of the Office of the President.
She added the GOCCs are also answerable to Congress, the Commission on Audit, the National Economic and Development Authority, Government Procurement Board and Office of Government Corporate Counsel.
In April Herrera-Dy said the GCG counted 212 GOCCs and only two of these were listed as dissolved or abolished while 24 are “under abolition”, while there are 23 nonoperational/inactive GOCCs.
Only three are undergoing privatization which include GSIS Family Bank, Intercontinental Broadcasting Corp. and Southern Utility Management and Services Inc., the lawmaker added.
She said there are four GOCCs involved in mining.
If the GCG is to be consistent with the stance of Duterte against mining, she said these four GOCCs should be abolished: Batong Buhay Gold Mines Inc.; Natural Resources Development Corp.; North Davao Mining Corp.; and Philippine Mining Development Corp.
Herrera-Dy added there are also several GOCCs into food, agriculture and fisheries that should be privatized or merged, including Food Terminal Inc. (should be privatized); National Sugar Development Co. (merge with Philippine Sugar Corp.); Northern Foods Corp. (merge with Phividec); Phividec Panay Agro-Industrial Corp.; and Philippine Sugar Corp.
She said the government should get out of the realty business by abolishing or privatizing five realty holding companies, such as Batangas Land Company, First Cavite Industrial Estate Inc., G.Y. Real Estate Inc., kamayan Realty Corp. and Pinagkaisa Realty Corp.
“We have provided in HB 3014 that all officers and employees of the abolished GCG will be given two-and-a-half months’ salary for each year of service as separation pay,” Herrera-Dy added.
