Senator Raffy Tulfo is searching for a Senate investigation on “arrogant and snobbish” authorities staff as he eyes stricter measures and penalties towards authorities staff who will deal with residents poorly.
In submitting proposed Senate Resolution 554, Tulfo cited the “viral” case of Cham Tanteras who was requested by an immigration officer to point out her yearbook earlier than being allowed to fly overseas. Tanteras missed her flight due to the prolonged interview.
Tulfo stated there have additionally been complaints towards officers and staff in different authorities workplaces and all of that are “relating to the arrogant, harassing, and condescending behavior.”
He additionally cited a 2020 survey performed by the Development Academy of the Philippines which confirmed a decline in citizen satisfaction rating of presidency providers from 86.93 in 2018 to 80.14 in 2020.
In a separate assertion, Tulfo stated he’s set to file the “Anti-Taray” invoice which can impose more durable penalties on authorities staff responsible of misconduct, harassment, and human rights violations.
In the proposed measure, Tulfo stated impolite and snobbish authorities staff would possibly face dismissal from service and perpetual disqualification from public workplace.
“Panahon na upang maparusahan ang mga kawani ng gobyerno na nambabastos, namamahiya, naninigaw, at kumakawawa sa mga kababayan natin na pumupunta sa kanilang tanggapan para makipagtransaksyon. Ang empleyado ng gobyerno dapat ay pasensyoso at nagseserbisyo, hindi nagsusuplado,” he stated.
(It’s about time we punish authorities staff who disrespect, humiliate, and shout at our countrymen who go to their workplaces to transact and search their providers. Government staff needs to be affected person, they shouldn’t be impolite.)
The lawmaker stated authorities officers and staff should not worthy to carry a place in the event that they can’t be courteous to the general public.
