SUBJECT : Continuing demand for the return of the original educational cred entials as evaluated by ERES and comments why a circle mark was wrap around the word "PHILIPPINES" as shown in the returned exact copy (photocopy) of my original educational credentials.
Dear Mr. James Maughan,
Good morning.
From your e-mail dated December 30, 2013 as an alibi for denying the minimum six (6) educational points for Grade 1 operator certification examination you wrote the following:
"Concerning the request for educational transcripts from you, this is a request that we make to all applicants and all comply with this request in order to take the exam. It is the only way we can make a determination of educational credits that can be awarded to the applicant.
Good morning.

Section 3700(a)(3)- of the operator certification regulations states “ a copy of a high school diploma or equivalent; college transcripts; graduate school transcripts; report cards; certificates of completion for wastewater treatment and management courses; and chemical, civil, or mechanical engineering registrations issued by California or another state, a territory, or Indian tribe, to verify completion of educations requirements.” (This except is found on page 32 of the regulations). Here is the link to the regulations:
Please be informed that these regulations are effective just last April 1, 2013 as shown by the information shown below. For your appreciation, click "Final Text of Regulations".
These regulations are not yet effective on September 6, 2012. There is no sense applying
regulations promulgated on April 1, 2013 for applications filed on July 24, 2012.

May I reiterate in unequivocal terms that I have sent the "original" copy of my
Engineering as evaluated by ERES, Sacramento, CA, together with my
application for operator certification and the check payment of $95. This set
of application documents was prepared by me then received by Ms. Debbie Zuccala.
Hence, may I most respectfully remind you that your statement on your e-mail below,
to wit:
" If this document was not the "original" then the only thing I can conclude is
that you never sent the "original" to us but a copy." , is outrageous, baseless
and irresponsible. As a matter of fact, Ms Debbie Zuccala had not denied the
existence of the "original" ERES educational credentials since
September 6, 2012 up to the present times. Ms Christine Gordon,
Mr. Wes Wilkinson and Ms Anna Hernandez, all did not deny the existence
of the "original" copy of my educational credentials as evaluated by ERES.
Therefore, you can not belatedly claim otherwise, during these times, after you
have been caught cheating and lying about it.
Since, September 6, 2012, on my letter, last paragraph I have requested and
demanded that the original copy of my educational credentials covering the
Bachelor of Science in Management Engineering as evaluated by
ERES (Educational Records Evaluation Service, Sacramento, Ca) be returned
to me with signature of Ms Anna Hernandez initially, which later, since
Mr Wes Wilkinson and you have checked it as well, I requested that
Mr Wes Wilkinson and you signed it just the same. I wanted to categorically
state that you have not send me yet the original copy of my educational
credentials. With regard to this issue, it is worthwhile to inform you that
Ms Debbie Zuccala willfully refused to reply, Ms Anna Hernandez failed to
respond, Mr Wes Wilkinson ignored to reply, the Office of Operator
Certification ignored to reply, then Mr Andrew Cooper withheld the
information about this ERES educational credentials, then ran away and
hide, then now you are telling me that you have sent all the original copy
and you have nothing else to return. With all due respect, you are cheating.
Certification ignored to reply, then Mr Andrew Cooper withheld the
information about this ERES educational credentials, then ran away and
hide, then now you are telling me that you have sent all the original copy
and you have nothing else to return. With all due respect, you are cheating.
Since, September 6, 2012, I have drawn the line. I did not and will not send in
any additional educational records. I do not intend to seek the complete or
over all educational points that the Bachelor of Science in Management
Engineering could make. I just needed the minimum six(6) educational points for
Grade 1 operator certification examination. I repeat just six(6) educational points.
Grade 1 operator certification examination. I repeat just six(6) educational points.
It does not make sense that you still needed to analyze transcript of records from
schools and universities from the Philippines to come up to conclusion that
I have met the required minimum six(6) educational point for Grade 1 WWTP
operator certification examination. The evaluation of the transcript of records for
this mentioned educational credentials have been well taken cared of by
operator certification examination. The evaluation of the transcript of records for
this mentioned educational credentials have been well taken cared of by
ERES for you. Besides, as my record and experience with your staff is to be
considered, with all due respect, they are incompetent and irresponsible and
cunning. At most, as I saw it, they would not know how to evaluate transcript
of records from foreign countries as evidenced by their deeds, as exemplified
on the next paragraphs and therefore letting your staff and you, analyze transcript
of records from the Philippines is deemed to be a useless and futile exercise
being already been professionally taken cared of for you by ERES.
being already been professionally taken cared of for you by ERES.
See for yourself, again with all due respect, Ms Debbie Zuccala
,
considered my WWTP Operator Certification application for an application
for WWTP Operator-in-Training Certification. These application forms are
distinctly different from each other and when asked why, she refused to reply.
The code of regulation said, that applications not in the correct forms shall be
considered deficient and deficient applications shall not be processed but
Ms Debbie Zuccala still processed my application and charged me S95 though it
is not in the correct form and therefore, deficient, and should not been processed,
and I should have saved my $95.
This proves Ms Debbie Zuccala's incompetence.
That same application, though has already been found as an application for
WWTP operator certification and not correct application for WWTP
certification examination, but still Ms Anna Hernandez process it,
and charged me $40 though it was deficient. A violation of your own regulation
done not once, but twice with express approval of Mr. Wes Wilkinson.
done not once, but twice with express approval of Mr. Wes Wilkinson.
This showed Mr. Wes Wilkinson and Ms Anna Hernandez collective
incompetence.
Second, Mr Wes Wilkinson and Ms Christine Gordon in conspiracy, both send me
an e-mail on September 24, 2012 claiming each one of them is Ms Debbie
Zuccala's manager with covert intention to confuse me and drive away culpability
from Ms. Debbie Zuccala. Though they might be both managers for Ms Debbie
Zuccala, prudence and courtesy and good judgment dictate that it would
be very confusing for me to talk to two managers for the same person at the same
time, especially so, when these two managers are avoiding accountability
for Ms Debbie Zuccala deeds and/or omissions. Consequently, they have
completely confused me. This proves that Ms Christine Gordon and
Mr Wes Wilkinson are cunning.
Third, Mr. Andrew Cooper, declared himself as the Freedom of Information Officer,
then, withheld the information about the now controversial "ERES educational
credentials" and when informed that he was replying to a letter not addressed to
him and told that his act consisted "usurpation of authority," now, he is gone into
hiding. This shows Mr Andrew Cooper gross misrepresentation and dishonesty.
Fourth, as to the person who opened the the letter addressed to the Agency
as my records showed the suspects might be from Mr. Andrew Cooper, then,
Mr. Wes Wilkinson and then you, Mr. James Maughan. As you already knew,
that letter was addressed to Mr. Tim Howard, being the Agency Administrator
and not to you. With all due respect, with your deeds and/or omissions, which
plunged me into deeper pain and misery, you became (pardon me for this word) a
shame to the office of Mr. Tim Howard which you are trying to represent.
This is gross misrepresentation, cheating and dishonesty.
Fifth, with your continuing reluctance to return to me original copy of my
educational credentials as evaluated by ERES (Educational Records Evaluation
Service, Sacramento, Ca) together with your signature and rest of signatures of
Ms Anna Hernandez and Mr. Wes Wilkinson, you have effectively deny me of the
chance to show that pieces of original document to a neutral third party and to
seek their corresponding opinion or advice about this matter, and consequently
if warranted, file appropriate administrative or civil or criminal charges against
Ms Anna Hernandez, Mr Wes Wilkinson and you, Mr James Maughan.
if warranted, file appropriate administrative or civil or criminal charges against
Ms Anna Hernandez, Mr Wes Wilkinson and you, Mr James Maughan.
This is suppression of evidential documents, deceit and dishonesty.
Again, I wanted to reiterate that if Ms Anna Hernandez, and Mr. Wes Wilkinson
and you, most respectfully, Mr. Maughan strongly believe that you are right on
denying the minimum six(6) educational point requirement on my educational
credentials that is with you right now, (no transcript of records) for a Grade 1
WWTP operator certification examination, then, please do not hide it, and put
your signatures on it with pride and great honor to show the public that you
have done the right thing. Otherwise, you have done something ridiculous
and shameful.
and shameful.
Please send me back the original educational records covering the Bachelor of
Science in Management Engineering as evaluated by ERES with your signatures
as soon as you can.
as soon as you can.
Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
Antonio L. Buensuceso
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
