WHY does Mr. Winston Garcia insist on representing the Government Service Insurance System in his fight with the Lopezes?
Does he really think that just because of his position in the GSIS, he represents all government employees? Has he tried to get their opinion? He is gambling with these employees’ future. The pension fund is not his alone. He is just its caretaker.
He will soon be out of office as soon as his bosses in Malacañang are either booted out or their terms expire. What will he do then? In my opinion, Mr Garcia might be diverting attention from his management of the pension fund altogether. His strategy seems to be to go after his neighbor’s trash so that his own trash won’t be looked at.
The Senate should start looking at the management of the pension fund. I’m not saying they’ll find anything there, but it’s worth it to take a cursory look at how it’s being managed being that it affects all past, present, and future government employees. Look at how the money is being invested, look at the balance sheets. It’s only fair we take a look at Mr Garcia’s backyard as well, not just the Lopezes. I’ll bet there are unwanted weeds and trash in his backyard that’ll need cleaning up or may lead to the eviction of its occupants.

Where can we find more information to read about this Anthony Santiago Martin? When you google his name, you will only find links to Filipino people posting comments about how he’s so rich and powerful and controls for much money, but there’s no real solid, unbiased info out there. Is he real?

GSIS chief faces graft raps over P1-B donation to Malacañang
This is act is total betrayal of public trust as Winston and his gang has no moral and legal rights to give money to malacanang.
Wala na talangang hiya yan si Garcia pati pero ng taong bayan ay pinakialaman. Bakit hindi ito ibigay sa mga nangangailangna thru soft loan sa mga GSIS members na guto mag negosyo.
Winston hindi pera mo yan, at ipinagkatiwala laman sayo ang pwesto sa GSIS para pangasiwaaan at hindi kurakutin. Bakit kurakot dahil hindi naman ma ma-audit yung perang pumunta sa Malancanyang..

“political battlecry” ang alisin ang eVAT?
ei di political battlecry din ang tawag sa ‘ibaba ang singil ng meralco’.
may eVAT kasi ang gobierno ay hindi marunong magnegosyo - kaya lubog sa utang ang napocor. kahit na ‘ekonomista’ pa sya, kuno.
magsabi ka ng presidente na nag-tax ng kuryente? sige nga bata?

As i said, this is a problem of the entire power industry which stemmed from the decisions made way back the Ramos administration. The sad thing is, this problem is being continuosly aggravated by the irregularities in Napocor and the way our government slams us with absurd taxes on electricity.
