18M car plan benefits of HDMF PAGIBIG executives flagged by COA

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The Commission on Audit (COA) has questioned the purchase of 21 cars by the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) or Pag-IBIG Fund for its officers last year without the approval from the Office of the President (OP).

In its 2020 audit report on the state-run firm, state auditors said Pag-IBIG disbursed a total of P36.355 million in line with its 2015 Car Plan.

Sought for comment, Pag-IBIG Fund vice president for public relations Kalin Franco-Garcia said, “Pag-IBIG Fund maintains that there is no need for Presidential approval because what we implemented is a reduction in the car plan benefits.”

“The laws cited by COA require Presidential approval only in case of new benefits or when there is an increase in benefits” 

OMG! Car plan benefits during a pandemic. Better just work for the government and do day light robbery.

Im sure after a few months, burado na naman ito. Asan na yung sinasabing walang kurapsyon! This is so insensitive. Car plan in 2020, kung kelan halos sarado at skeletal ang PAGIBIG? Subukan kaya nilang makipagsiksikan o maglakad o mag bike na lang para nabawasan ang timbang. Napansin nyo ba na nagtatabaan mga government officials and executives?

Grabe kayo! Pera ng taong bayan yan. Ganyan ninyo na lang pakinabangan at pagpasarapan ng buhay tapos yung mga members pahirapan sa pag apply at mag paapproved ng loan. Pasarap lang kayo sa pera ng iba.

Dapat may oversight commission ang PHIC, SSS, GSIS, at HDMF. If Im not mistaken, COA lang nakaka-discover ng financial anomalies sa mga entity na to? Wala silang separate body na magre-regulate dito.

Ang pera ng taong bayan, ipinang bibili lang ng sasakyan ng government executives! Samantalang iyong tax payer de commute lang. Kapag di nagbayad tax, BIR agad!

These government officials have "sarap buhay" in the pandemic - full pay and benefits despite lessened work for many and lots of opportunities for sucking at people's money.

Bato's slip of the tongue "sarap buhay" is true for most govt officials in the pandemic. Look at the self-help car plans at HDMF, gluttonous meal allowances at PCOO, no-contract multi-million disbursements, name it. The pandemic has provided a mask and shield for unli- kurakotan.

Galawang Duque at Duterte Ang peg Ng HDMF. Remember when Duque, as CSC Chair, tried to sit as an ex-officio member of the GSIS, PhilHealth, ECC, and HDMF Boards. He has a track record of trying to circumvent the independence of Constitutional Commissions.

Duque is a former CSC Chair and so he should know how constitutional commissions work and should stop complaining. If he doesn't, well, then add that to the list of things he should, but doesn't, know.

Duque has been trained using the Duterte playbook, so it's no wonder the other government agency heads are equally questionable in their reasonings and counters.

They were trained to do the following:

1.Mag-drama, umiyak kung kaya

2. Sabihin, "Kayo na lang kaya gumawa ng trabaho ko! Kahit na noon pa sila pinaparesign ng taong bayan. He should not be listening to Duterte because his loyalty should be for the people and not the president.

3. Answer using generalizations....walang ninakaw...instead of specifics.

Ang hirap....benta pa rin Ito sa maraming tao. Karamihan kasi ay misinformed ng mga paid trolls and Influencers...at ng mga kaalyadong lumilibot sa mga probinsya at depressed areas.
