SSS head defends bonuses; says
everyone got them
D_BystandeR:
The loud protests from SSS members
about the highly "indecent way" with which SSS funds were
"brutalized" by those who are entrusted to govern the Office is
reverberating to the four corners of the country. Emilio de Quiros Jr.,
president and CEO of SSS disclosed that he and seven other members of the board
received no less than P1M each as bonus. With P10M as their bonus, the additional
amount of P276M was distributed to about 5,000 SSS employees. Viewed against
this "wastage" incurred out of precious SSS funds (which is just
wantonly distributed as bonus to already highly paid board members), is the impending increase in membership contributions
to start January 2014 next year which is intended to cover up the liabilities
for the next 26 years until 2039.
Accordingly, SSS was able to post a
net income of 36.2B in 2012 hence, their "justification" to declare
huge bonus among themselves amid what seemed to be "cringing source of SSS
funds" in view of what can be seen obviously in SSS offices across the
country of its members queuing in long lines for their applied benefits. Other
postings I read from one disgruntled SSS member who told about his mother who was
receiving a monthly pension of only P1,500 a month from the system for 11 years
until she died, an amount too little to defray her old age needs that without
her children's help would not be able to reach that long. When P-Noy announced
in 2012 that he would raise the minimum monthly pension of retirees to P5,000 a
month to appropriately cover their basic needs like paying their water and
light bills and for medicines, I was excited to get an increase in my SSS pension.
But I noticed it did not materialize because I only received a slight increase
of my monthly pension to P3,000 starting January 2013. I hope those officials
manning the operation and financial well-being of SSS will be guided and
enlightened to do what is needed for the system to successfully survive and to
safeguard the SSS funds for benefits that will redound to the overall welfare
of its members and not just to a selected few of the "controlling
bigwigs."
