The well had already gone
dry but still the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda)
promised to provide P1 billion worth of technical and vocational scholarships
to the unemployed across the country, burdening the agency with debts under a
new President.
What’s more, newly
appointed Tesda Director General Joel Villanueva said he had also received
numerous reports that the Pangulong Gloria Scholarship (PGS) went to
fly-by-night schools and ghost scholars.
“This is not our
obligation,” Villanueva told the Inquirer Friday. “In the first place, it’s not
part of the budget allocated for us. It’s not even appropriated in the General
Appropriations Act.”

Hindi makukuntento ang taumbayan kung si Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo lang ang makukulong dahil sa mga katiwalian sa kanyang administrasyon.[CIBAC Rep. Joel Villanueva]
Hindi makukuntento ang taumbayan kung si Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo lang ang makukulong dahil sa mga katiwalian sa kanyang administrasyon. Ito ang pahayag ni CIBAC partylist Rep. Joel Villanueva kaugnay ng isasampang kaso ng mga militanteng grupo laban kay Arroyo sa Hulyo 1, 2010 kasabay ng pagkawala ng kanyang immunity from suit.
“‘Di lang siya (GMA) ang dapat makulong. Pati dapat ang mga kasabwat niya,” pahayag ni Villanueva subalit hindi tinukoy ng kongresista kung sinu-sino ang mga ito.

“I think hindi lang ang mga bumoto kay Noynoy ang naghahanap ng hustisya kundi ang lahat ng bumoto sa hindi kandidato ni GMA,” ani CIBAC party list Rep. Joel] Villanueva.
Bilang bahagi ng selebrasyon at countdown ng mga estudyante sa iba’t ibang unibersidad at kolehiyo sa Metro Manila sa nalalapit na pagbaba ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, naglagay ng jail booth ang ilang militanteng grupo sa ilang piling kampus kung saan nakapiit sa loob ang pababang Pangulo.
Ito ang napag-alaman kay Kabataan partylist Rep. Raymond Palatino kahapon kung saan sa Hunyo 29 ay magkakaroon ng final party ang mga estudyante sa kani-kanilang paaralan para iselebra ang pag-alis ni Arroyo sa Malacañang.

Probe oil firms
“President Aquino has the strong mandate to do what he can do according to the law. Knowing President-elect Noy, he will not think twice if opening these books would be necessary and appropriate and most importantly if it will bring back economic confidence,” said [CIBAC party list Rep. Joel] Villanueva.
THREE party-list lawmakers yesterday asked President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to press the opening of books of oil companies, especially the so-called big Three, to determine if their price adjustments have been reasonable and have not been bleeding the public through price manipulation or cartelization.
Citizens Battle Against Corruption Rep. Joel Villanueva, Bayan Muna Reps. Neri Colmenares and Satur Ocampo said President-elect Aquino would do great service to the public if he would ask his legal team to prioritize working for the opening of the books of oil firms.
