Kulang pa daw kasi ang nahuhuthot ni Herbert Bautista na P98 million noong 2009, P83 million noong 2008, at P33 million noong 2007 sa food and softdrinks at biskwit na sinasabi nyang pinakain nya daw sa mga constituents ng QC.

i just don’t see the significance of paying these fees. Not unless the government can really give me a good reason why should i even bother doing it. For past years the government can even give a good life for Juan Dela Cruz. Pass governments don’t give a f*ck ass about their people. What they only want is something they can put into their f*cking pockets and pay for their luxurious life. In the Philippines people are used so that government officials can be rich and become powerful. People in the government even suggested to make a “Boxer” to become president. What the hell!!! Only people that benefit with the funds they gather from these “PERMITS” is the ones that KICKBACK from the extra incomes they get from it!!! Our government’s “CANCER” is already on it’s red zone. Not unless all of the government officials die! The Philippines and its people are doom to die poor as well!!!!

What i only see here is the goverment only wants to get kickbacks from the fees they will get from us. 5 years na akong nag work sa callcenter at ngayun ko lang narinig ang ganyang policy ng gobyerno. Kesyo ba malakas nag kita ng mga callcenter at sinali na nila tayu para makakuha sila ng pera satin? Bakit ngayun lang nila naisip yan. Wala ka naman napapakinabangan sa mga tax nakukuha ng gobyerno satin, Tapus idadagdag nila ito. Bakit kailangan yung emplyado pakukuha at bakit hindi sila makipag coordinate sa HR ng companyan na yun. Hiwalay pa pa check nila sa pa check up ng private employer mo. Doble gastos kay Juan Del Cruz yan. Hindi man lang nila explain kung bakit kailangan kumuha netong permit na ito. Basta pina apply nila na walang abiso sa tao. Puro sila gumagawa ng batas para makapanggantso sa tao , pansariling kapakanan at walang pakialam sa kapwa pilipino nila. MGA HINDOT KAYU TRAPO NG LIPUNAN!!!!!

Namomroblema rin kami nito. We are currently in Mandaluyong and as of this year, ni rerequire na rin kami nito.. Anyone out there who are employed by call centers in Mandaluyong? Could you please share your experiences with this? Parang ang tedious kasi ng process e not to mention magastos because of the health check ups. We have an HMO naman e and pre-employment. Cguro naman mas mahigpit mga employers natin sa requirement na “fit to work” kaysa sa local government??

Hi, I just want to thank you for this informative post. I’m about to start teaching in San Juan and was told to secure an occupational permit as a requirement. But when I called the San Juan City Hall to inquire, nobody knew what I was talking about. It was only from this post that I got an idea about the permit. Thanks for the help

Kimoy, I would like to post the same question that John Q raised… What happens if we’re not able to secure this permit? Do they prosecute us? How? What is the rationale for this permit, if you know? And what benefit comes with this permit? Tax, we understand. But this… We can’t even find this at the net as we browse.

Occupational Permit Filing, why are WE charged Php350 when in the permit, it only shows Health Certificate Fee Php75 and Mayor’s Occupational Fee Php50. Total of Php125. Indeed, the corruption in the Philippine government starts from a smallest centavo.

What happens if i don’t secure a permit? Do they have that much power to prosecute people? This is total BS by the QC government, for what they say? Improvements? what improvements do you see?

and before we all complain, let’s take a look at the rationale behind it. i understand that it can be really much of a problem to secure this permit considering the schedules of work. however, we have to remember that people who earn less than we do have to secure this permit even before they can start working.

imagine people working minimum wage jobs having to spend days and hours just to get this permit. di pa nga sila kumikita ng mamiso nilang sweldo, guamgastos na sila.

patience is indeed something we do not have for most things other than our customers. it’s a shame really.

we slave away in service of a foreign master. but a little contribution to the country, we go into a rampage about.

again, the rationale here is important. and i can well say, with my experience in working with the quezon city government for 3 years, that the people get what they pay for. the problem with those who think they don’t benefit from anything is because they do not even bother to become aware of what’s happening and the other benefits that are available for people.

yun lang.
