GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc (The Philippine Star) | Updated October 30, 2013 - 12:00am
A very high official of the Philippine Retirement Authority is an American. Not a few readers e-mailed the info after reading my piece on Agriculture Sec. Proceso Alcala’s fair-haired boy. He got Orlan Calayag appointed as National Food Authority chief when the latter was a US citizen (Gotcha, 23 Oct. 2013).
I guess sending his citizens to work in the Philippine bureaucracy is one of Uncle Sam’s solutions to joblessness there.

Another tip from readers: a high official of the National Irrigation Administration is an inveterate casino gambler. A newbie, he is like Calayag, a favorite of Alcala. Sooner or later that guy will be videoed at the gaming pit and go viral on YouTube. He will be an embarrassment, like the untouchable Land Transportation Office head Virginia Torres.

While berthed the ships siphon the black sand into the hold with huge hoses, then sail away. No taxes or royalties are paid -- only bribes to the very officials tasked to keep them out. In China magnetite is separated from the sand, for use in steel and telecoms products. That includes weapons and surveillance systems. China deploys such materiél to invade Bajo de Masinloc (Scarborough Shoal), 123 miles from Zambales’ shore.
