Current and former high-ranking officials of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) have called for the “immediate and irrevocable” resignation of Jose Arnulfo “Wick” Veloso, the president and general manager of the state-run pension fund, accusing him of “poor investment decisions” that resulted in losses amounting to P8.8 billion. In a strongly worded letter to Veloso dated Oct. 14, past and present members of the GSIS’s board of trustees alleged that the fund’s top executive had pursued risky investments “marked by a disturbing lack of transparency.” “Your continued presence at the helm of the GSIS puts the welfare of its 2.6 million members—dedicated […]...

MANILA, Philippines -- Cavite 4th District Rep. Francisco Barzaga has pushed for the secession of Mindanao Island, saying that the Marcos Administration has become biased towards the National Capital Region (NCR). In a video statement on his Facebook page on Friday, Barzaga said that as Mindanao was the second largest island in the country, their interests should not be ignored or be considered as "less important" than those in Luzon. "And with the recent flood control anomalies being traced back to the residences of corrupt politicians in the NCR, the interest for Mindanao's secession has gradually increased," Barzaga said. He said that Mindanao was "capable" of being self-sufficient as an independent nation with their abundant natural resources and competent labor force. Barzaga also noted that the "corrupt national government" taxing Mindanao citizens for the benefit of Luzon politicians was "upsetting" to its citizens. "I can sympathize with their anger. As a representative from Cavite, it disgusts me that their government funds for developing provinces like ours are being funneled by Congress into the pockets of corrupt politicians that reside in exclusive subdivisions in the National Capital Region, like Forbes Park and Dasmarinas Village," Barzaga said. Barzaga has said that he planned to file an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution due to the flood control scandal.

MANILA, Philippines -- The Land Transportation Office (LTO) suspended for 90 days the license of a UV Express driver and issued a show cause order after he admitted using illegal drugs prior to a fatal crash along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City late Friday afternoon that left one person dead and 14 others injured on Friday afternoon. In its order, the LTO said driver Ruel Flores Dela Cerna must explain why he should not be charged with Reckless Driving, Violation of the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act, Improper Person to Operate a Motor Vehicle, and Violation of the Clean Air Act. A viral video showed Dela Cerna’s UV Express plowing through 14 vehicles, including several motorcycles, along the busy thoroughfare. The LTO also summoned the vehicle’s operator, George Flores, to explain why he should not be held administratively liable for Employing a Reckless Driver. The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has likewise called Flores and Dela Cerna to a separate inquiry into the incident. Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez denounced the driver’s actions, saying the government will not tolerate drug- or alcohol-impaired driving, especially by public utility vehicle operators. “There is no place for abusive and irresponsible drivers on our roads. The safety of commuters and road users is the top responsibility of PUV drivers. We will never allow those who drink or use illegal substances to operate vehicles,” Lopez said.
