CABARROGUIS, Quirino, April | CABARROGUIS, Quirino, April 29 (PIA) -- Tribal rites, legal rights. The National Statistics Office here has scheduled training for tribal leaders who are solemnizing wedding ceremonies at the Nagtipunan town hall on May 15. | ||
Cherry Grace Agustin, provincial statistics officer said the training is a pre-requisite in issuing the tribal leaders certificate of registration as official and accredited solemnizing officers. | |||
“This is to ensure the validity of the marriage among Indigenous People couples so that they could avail services and benefits due to them,” Agustin said adding that most IPs have too often been denied benefits and services only because they lack basic documents such as certificates of birth or marriage. | |||
She likewise said they can also enjoy benefits due them as members of the Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (or PhilHealth) and Home Development Mutual Fund or Pag-Ibig. | |||
Agustin added that marriage of IPs officiated by their tribal leaders are considered acceptable, they still need documents such as marriage contract, birth certificates of children as documents for all legal transactions. | |||
She explained that any marriage that is solemnized by officiating officials, who is not registered, is considered null and void and can be declared illegal. | |||
“NSO is the only office that is authorized to process and approve the certificate of registration to the solemnizing officers,” Agustin said. (TCB-PIA2, Quirino) | |||

Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz noted that the wage board in the Cagayan Valley region issued a wage order for agricultural plantation and non-plantation workers ‘motu proprio’, or even without petition. | |||
“Upon the effectivitiy of the order, minimum wage earners in Isabela, Cagayan, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino and Batanes will get an increase of P10.00 in their daily basic pay, while the P15.00 COLA will be integrated into their basic pay,” the statement said. | |||
Earlier, four other wage boards approved pay hikes: | |||
Region V (Bicol): Wage Order No. 15 granting a P3 to P23 basic wage increase, bringing the new minimum wage rates in the Bicol region to a range of P228 to P252 effective 7 April 2012. | |||
Region XII: Wage Order No. 17 on 26 March, granting a P10 to P14 COLA. The increases shall be given in two tranches, with the first tranche taking effect on 18 April, and the second tranche becoming effective on 1 December 2012. | |||
Region VI: Wage Order No. 20 on 26 March granting a basic wage increase of P12, thus bringing the new minimum wage to a range of P235 to P277. These adjustments will become effective 15 days after publication of the wage order in a newspaper of general circulation. | |||
Region IV-A: On 28 March, RTWPB IV-A decided to grant a P2 to P90 adjustment to workers in the CALABARZON region receiving minimum wages below P255 and a productivity allowance of P12.50 for workers receiving minimum wages above P255 up to P337. The adjustment will be done in tranches over a five-year period. | |||
Secretary Baldoz said the wage board for Metro Manila is still conducting a series of consultations and assessing the economic conditions. | |||
The Labor chief said the wage order will be issued after May 26, the anniversary date of its last wage order. A second round of public consultations was held Friday at the Universidad de Manila in Escolta, Manila. | |||
"The rest of the Boards are closely monitoring the socio-economic conditions in their respective regions as current wage orders approach their anniversary dates this year," Baldoz said. | |||

CABARROGUIS, Quirino, April 26 (PIA) -- Internal revenue collection in this province for the month of March reached P13,843,789.04, higher by 19.53% in its P11,581,592.23 collection during the same quarter last 2011. | |||
Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue District No. 16 assistant revenue district officer Vivian Tarectecan has attributed the increase to their continuous tax campaigns to the continued cooperation of the taxpayers, tax agents and the collaborative efforts of the revenue officials to pursue its thrusts for a strong republic. | |||
But Tarectecan stressed that they still need to work overtime as they are still short of P671,210.96 to be able to meet their goal of P14,515,000.00. | |||
In their collection performance report, it stated that there was a decrease in the collection of percentage tax because the Quirino Provincial Irrigation Office (QPIO) was already merged to the Addalam River Irrigation Project, and there were no more contracts allocated to QPIO. | |||
For the month of April, the BIR-RDO collection has reached to P11.8 million, still short of P1.2 million to meet their P14 million goal. | |||
Tarectecan, however, expressed optimism that they will be able to meet their goal as they are still receiving tax payments from late filers. (TCB-PIA Quirino) | |||
