Garcia is on the way out. This news from ABS-CBN:
MANILA, Philippines - President Benigno Aquino III said Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) President and General Manager Winston Garcia will soon be replaced.
"It's just a matter of talking to his replacement," Aquino said in a Malacanang briefing on Wednesday.
Previously, Aquino said the person being eyed to replace Garcia, a banker, is in the process of working out the details of his exit from the private sector.
Garcia, who was appointed by former President Gloria Arroyo, has been involved in several controversies. He was acquitted last year by the Court of Appeals of graft in connection with the purchase of paintings by two Filipino national artists worth more than $1 million in 2002.
The GSIS chief has also drawn flak from several sectors, especially GSIS members, for his alleged mismanagement of the state-pension fund agency.
"Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it."

WELCOME
Thank you for visiting AT THE END OF THE DAY, a blog dedicated to exposing the incompetence and failure of leadership at the Government Service Insurance System, the state pension fund of the Philippines. From the various links posted on this site relating to GSIS, there is a common thread running through all the ugly episodes that people have suffered in the hands of its employees: this agency is rotten to the core, starting from the chairman and president, Winston Garcia, a political appointee of Macapagal-Arroyo who pretends to be the president of the Philippines. Garcia has implemented an ill-conceived eCard program that has adversely affected the lives of tens of thousands of GSIS pensioners, and he has done nothing to make it work. Indeed, if some of his employees are behaving badly and are thumbing down their noses on the public they're supposed to serve, it just proves our point: Fish starts rotting in the head.
And for this reason, IT'S TIME FOR GARCIA TO GO. We encourage everyone to help spread awareness about the incompetence of his agency and to put pressure on the political leadership to force him to RESIGN.
We welcome feedbacks from pensioners, their relatives and friends. Send us your comments or share your sad experience at the hands of some callous and insensitive personnel at this broken Philippine bureaucracy.
