Here’s how you can get your Driver’s License Philippines

Fixers are the ones who will approach you and tell you they will fast track your
application with fees higher than the normal rate. Their charges vary, some
asks P700.00 for the student license, P2,500.00 for non-professional license
and P3,500.00 for the Professional license. The normal processing time will take
3-4 hours (TIP: Go early to avoid the long queue) while fixers can cut it  1 hour to
1 and half hour only. This might seem convenient but it is “Legal but Fake”.
Licenses acquired through the fixers are physically legal but not under the law. If
one wants to check his record in the LTO Management Information Division, no
records of his information will be shown.

In his term, President Rodrigo Duterte demanded the appointed officials of Land
Transportation Office and other government agencies to vacate their posts due to
continuous corruption. It is known that LTO is one of the most corrupt offices in
the Philippines.

We are all wanting to have something good for our country, let us not contribute
to the growing number of the individuals hindering that good change.

Gov’t workers involved in

fixing face dismissal 
MANILA, Philippines – Ahead of the new year, the Civil Service Commission (CSC)
warned government workers that they face dismissal and perpetual disqualication from
state employment if they are found guilty of involvement in fixing.

The CSC said in a press statement on Thursday, December 28, that it has updated its
2017 Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (2017 RACCS) to include
violations of the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 in the list of administrative offenses.
Under the new rules, the following acts merit penalties ranging from suspension to
disqualification from government service:

 Refusal to accept application and/or request within the prescribed period or

any document being submitted by a client
 Failure to act on an application and/or request or failure to refer back to the
client a request which cannot be acted upon due to lack of requirements
within the prescribed period

 Failure to attend to clients who are within the premises of the office or
agency concerned prior to the end of official working hours and during
lunch break

 Failure to render frontline services within the prescribed period on any

application and/or request without due cause

 Failure to give the client a written notice on the disapproval of an

application or request

 Imposition of additional irrelevant requirements other than those listed in

the first notice

For the first offense, a civil servant would be meted a 30-day suspension without pay
and mandatory attendance in a Values Orientation Program; and for the second
offense, a 3-month suspension without pay. A 3rd offense will lead to employee's the
dismissal and perpetual disqualification from public service.

Salient points

“The 2017 RACCS aims to ensure consistency, predictability, and stability – values
which are integral in upholding the rule of law. It also affords government workers fair
treatment and protects them from being victimized by political biases, persecution, and
personal whims,” said the CSC.

Under teh new rules, heads of agencies who are “found guilty of disobedience or
resistance to a lawful writ, process, order, decision, resolution, ruling, summons,
subpoena, command, or injunction of the Commission” will be suspended for one to 6
months with a fine of P1,000 per day.

This applies to both appointive and elective officials, and presidential appointees.

The 2017 RACCS also updated the procedural guidelines and provisions for the
disposition of disciplinary and non-disciplinary cases.
Among the other salient provisions of the new rules are the following:

 The conversion of suspension to the payment of fine when the person

involved has already retired or has resigned from government service (the
fine may be sourced from the accumulated leave credits or benefits the
respondent is supposed to claim)
 Incorporates procedures for handling sexual harassment cases

 Adds a separate rule on the payment of back wages and other similar
benefits to an illegally dismissed/suspended official or employee
 Psychological and developmental interventions are introduced as
prerequisites for Dropping from the Rolls
 Exclusion of terminal leave benefits and personal shares/contributions to
the Government Service Insurance System or other equivalent retirement
benefits system from the accessory penalty of forfeiture of retirement
benefits

The CSC said the rules were done "in consultation with various stakeholders, and
involved a thorough review of existing rules, jurisprudence, and current situations
toward a more responsive, comprehensive, and reliable set of rules for case
adjudication and human resource actions in the civil service." – Rappler.com
