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.

some people are so blind they cant see how a transparent industry when they see one. nag-ingay si winstong kaya nagkaroon ng meter refund? whatta LIE, coming from the gsis liar. read the news, go to the ERC website to get the TRUE story. if ther is any swapang here, it is the gsis.
why, teachers are suing them for witholding benefits. the gsis modus operandi? autodeduct from teacher’s salary then lose the record. even a supreme court justice is a victim of this gsis MO. no wonder winstong gets a huge salary.this is out and out stealing. which is why the gsis chair post is one of the most coveted positions in the govt.

the presi-dent, the sin-ate, congress(mean), governor, mayours, and other hellish political entities in our rotten country should buy each one of their constituents a mirror and start looking up their a**ses…maybe there’s money inside it so that they can stop stealing money from the government and the Filipino people…however, their a**ses are so big that they can stuff money inside them…here’s what my tirade is about: A retired police officer with P6M in his pocket!!wow!!how can the Filipino people look passively at this blatant corruption right in front of them?the idiot cop apologizes…maaannnn, he deserves to be hanged in public, just like in China.

Mr Bong, they (senate or whosover) how they(GSIS) operate. It is so unfair. After the automatic deductions from your payroll, “ako pa ngayon ang may utang sa kanila”. So I closed the account. What happened was this. I am a doctor back in the Philippines and was moving from one employer to another. I did not know that the months I was not connected to an employer they will charge you. Thus after I left the public hospital where I took my residency and got employed in a private entity, I was shocked that I owe them. After a number of years of contributing and without any letter from them informing such. P*** and B*******t to them. Sorry but I hate that system. Thus, I left pnas with a thought that nothing will happen good to the country. I do not hope for them to take action but I would like some divine intervention would happen and prevent that from recurring. Mr Garcia look at your process!

jangjang may pa bluebook ka pang nalalaman…applicable yun sa malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration na wariy koy nakikiamot ka kasi nakakabilib ang simpatiya mo, ang tibay…
tama si robie tan,pag issue transparency open naman ang libro ng meralco ang tanong ang libro ba ng gsis at the way gloria etal spending billions ay open din ba?
im not also in favor of meralco because of monopoly sa power sector but the problem the government allows meralco to monopolize instead of inviting new players para maimprove services, magkaroon ng competition at makinabang ang consumer.
though i respect your opinion, natutuwa lang ako d way you reason out para bang media brigade ka ni gloria o deputy spokesperson…nakakagigil kasi baluktot na nga pangangatwiran, ang siste pa eh sablay palagi…
hindi naman ako lumalayo sa topic,ang hindi mo maintindihan ang punot dulo kung bakit may winston garcia vs.meralco…ang mga katanungan na sino ba sa dalawa ang higit na malinis? sino ba sa dalawa ang may pansariling interes? sino ba sa kanila ang mas higit ang malasakit sa bayan? sino ba sa kanila ang lalong may kapakinabangan ang bayan…
ang problema ng gloria mo pati na rin ikaw ay ang hilig nyong gumawa ng isyu mapagtakpan lang ang malaking problema ng bansa…korupsiyon, pang-aabuso, pagsasamantala, pagsisinungaling at pambabastos sa ating saligang batas.
ikaw ang hahamunin ko, kasi nga ang yabang ng tinuran mo…ano na bang nagawang pagbabago sa buhay mo simula ng maupo ang magaling mong gloria?
mas umayos ba ang ating lipunan?
naging matatag ba ang ating mga institusyon?
naging sandalan ba natin ang gobyerno sa samut saring problema ng bansa?
naging epektibo ba ang mga programa sa mahihirap?
bumuti ba ang sistema ng hustisya sa ating bansa?
madami pang katanungan ang kasagutan ay alam mo pero pilit mong ginagawang mangmang ang sarili dahil sa iyong paniniwala.
isang araw ay magigising kang dilat ang iyong mata nakatingin sa malayo at umaasa pa rin ng isang maunlad at matatag na pilipinas sa pamunuan ng iyong gloria.
ang isyu ng winston garcia vs. meralco ay isa lang sa mga stratehiya ng malacanang mafia at kahit ano pang pagtatanggol mo nagmumukha ka lang mangmang sa isyu ng lipunan.
gumising ka, at kumilos sa pagbabago..hindi yung mali ay naka-oo ka pa rin…sabagay may mga taong sunod-sunuran sa isang masamang lider at hangad ko lamang na maituwid ang iyong kaisipan.
mabuhay ka pilipino.

Nakakatawa ka rob tan,
Kelan naman naging transparent ang magaling momg Meralco? Yung meter deposit nila kung di pa nag-ingay si winstong eh pinaghati-hatian na yan ng mga Lopez owned companies. So sino ang suwapang? Pati yung system loss? paano ang detalye ng computation ng system loss? Alam mo ba rob?
