Mahigit P17-B nai-remit ng PPA sa gobyerno simula 2016 hanggang 2020
Umabot sa mahigit P17 bilyon ang nai-remit na dividends ng Philippine Ports Authority sa pamahalaan sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte mula taong 2016.
Ayon kay PPA General Manager Jay Daniel Santiago, hanggang noong Disyembre ng 2021 ay kabuuang P17.17 bilyon ang nai-remit ng ahensya sa national government.
Ito aniya ay mas mataas ng 108 porsyento kumpara sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni dating Pangulong Noynoy Aquino na umabot lamang sa P8.270 bilyon.
“After the signing of the Oath of Honesty by the DOTr and its attached agencies, we are happy to announce that the PPA has surpassed the total dividends it posted during the previous administration in a span of only 5 years or from 2016 to 2020,” saad ni Santiago.
Dagdag pa nito, “This is a clear testament that transparent and honest public service goes a long way and the whole PPA organization is proud of its accomplishments.”
Sa nalalabing mahigit isang taon aniya ng Duterte Administration, umaasa ito ay makakakolekta pa sila ng malaki para maitulong sa pagbangon dulot ng COVID-19 pandemic.
“If the first quarter of 2021 is any indication, the PPA is in for another good year, in spite of the pandemic, after posting a 3% hike in net income in the first 3 months of 2021 suggesting that economic activities are now rebounding from the effects of the pandemic,” sabi Santiago.
Pinapurihan naman ni Transport Secretary Arthur Tugade ang pamunuan ng PPA dahil sa kanilang ginagawang trabaho.
“If you stay true to public service and live it by heart, this is what you get. This is a result of honesty, integrity, and accountability,” saad ni Tugade.
“This will go a long way in helping the National Government in the country’s continuing fight against the global pandemic and the desire of the President to give comfortable lives to every Filipino. With the limited time left for us to do what needs to be done, I urge the entire PPA, together with the other agencies under the DOTr, to focus all our efforts to achieve this goal which we promised the Filipino people when President Rodrigo Roa Duterte took office in 2016,” dagdag pa ng kalihim.
