To Save DOLE From Further Embarrassment Due To Allege Corruption
Former DOLE Undersecretary for Employment Nicon F. Fameronag, now president of the Lilac Center for Public Interest, a private policy advocacy and research organization, yesterday urged Pres. Rodrigo R. Duterte to immediately remove from his post Department and Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III so as not to derail and delay the government’s labor and employment agenda.
“Because of the very public allegations against Secretary Bello, he has become an albatross around the President’s neck, slowing him down in realizing his campaign vow to write the apocalypse of contractualization,” Fameronag said.
“Mr. President, let go of Secretary Bello so that your warning that you won’t tolerate even a whiff of corruption in your administration will be believable,” Fameronag said.
According to Recruitment agency entrepreneur Amanda Araneta alleged that she gave the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) head a P100,000 gift on his birthday and an expensive celfon. But, Sec. Bello said he asked her Secretary to return the gift immediately.
The former DOLE official said the corruption allegations against Secretary Bello and those of his closest aides, is no longer just a whiff, but is a stinking smell and deafening noise that demoralizes the men and women of the DOLE.
“Under the present situation, the DOLE bureaucracy could not implement labor and employment programs as fast as they could because their leader is under a cloud of suspicion for wrongdoing,” Fameronag said, adding that this could also undermine the President exhortation to Congress to enact a law to end contractualization.
“Right now, Sec. Bello could not possibly shepherd even a DOLE version of a legislative measure against contractualization because he is occupied in parrying the accusations against him. This is energy-sapping, and could divert his attention from DOLE priorities,” he finally said.
