                    [Summary] => 



Government service in the Philippines is one of the poorest in the world, based on studies by international groups, the president of the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) said yesterday.

                    [Summary] => President Arroyo yesterday warned the heads of government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) they would be fired if they did not cut their pay and implement her strict austerity program. 


The Palace said in a statement this was part of the government’s effort to avoid a fiscal crisis caused by a growing deficit and ballooning government debts. 


As part of this effort, the Arroyo administration would have a "compliance scorecard on pay cuts and austerity measures among government-owned or controlled corporations," the statement said.
