SEN. MAR ROXAS ASKS GSIS BOSS TO EXPLAIN DISASTER


Tim Ramos, one of our contributors to this blog, has emailed a letter to all the senators of the Republic of the Philippines to ensure that one Winston Garcia is made accountable for his failure of leadership at the GSIS. Sen. Mar Roxas is the only legislator so far to have taken action. Through his chief of staff, he has asked Mr. Garcia to respond to Tim's letter of complaint (click on photo above to enlarge). We are reproducing Tim's letter below.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate:

I hope you will read this and take action. The New York incident was a result of very poor planning by Mr. Winston Garcia, head of the GSIS.

In this email, you will find my letter to Consul Rebong in New York and a link to a blog that will give you a sense of what happened.

Please let me know if I can be of help to get you in touch with a number of people who are livid about how they were treated by GSIS.

My fear is that no one will ever know this ever happened, and Mr. Garcia will go on with his merry way without any regard for the welfare of the people he is supposed to serve. I have done some research on the Internet and have seen how his thoughtless way of implementing his policies have negatively impacted the lives of our retirees in Iloilo and other places.

I can give you telephone numbers of people who can corroborate on what happened.

Best regards,
Tim
