PNOY (short for President Noynoy Aquino), will use the power of the internet to catch corrupt officials using Facebook and Twitter.
Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said that his department would soon set up a website with the customs and tax bureaus through which people could anonymously tip off authorities about crimes such as smuggling and tax evasion.
“This will allow people to maintain their anonymity in complaining or sending information to us.”
Purisima said he was inspired by a case in China where someone took a picture of a corrupt bureaucrat wearing an expensive Rolex watch and posted the picture on the Internet, leading to the prosecution of the official.
He said that with so many Filipinos carrying camera-equipped mobile phones, it would be harder for smugglers, tax evaders and other criminals to hide evidence of their misdeeds.
PNOY, who won presidential elections in May by a landslide, has vowed to eradicate the corruption that has plagued the Philippines for generations.
PNOY endorsed using the Internet in his anti-graft campaign, saying that many cyber-savvy citizens would be eager to help in ferreting out cases of ill-gotten wealth.
Pres. Noy. Are u up to political vendetta, or to assure competency and performance in the bureaucracy? Why do you have to replace all incumbent CSEE/CEO 3rd level eligibles for replacement? Is this not an act of injustice for those incumbents who for years have been permanent in their respective positions as assured of them by the Civil Service Commission?
And to the Chair of the CSC. You seem to have provided all csee and ceo 3rd level career eligibility holders a knife to cut themselves to death with their respective families. They applied for the [positions because you assured them of security of tenure. Now you cannot be seen defending their case! Is the CSC now going to the dogs? Who will then trust the CSC with your mandate to administer the required eligibility in public sercvice?
