Glimpse to my thoughts

I just had my late night bite and was ready to hit the sack when I saw Juico being flashed on the television.

It was a face to face with Kaibigang Boy Abunda. SO i told to myself, “A couple more hours staying up won’t hurt. This sure is worth it and interesting!”

I’ve got my eyes peeled with the Juico and Morato issue as I know the latter has a bomb to drop every time and this just brought out the inquisitive side of me.

The Chairperson of PCSO was put to spotlight to answer all the questions and accusations against her, mainly by Manay Manoling — the forever shining gay in armor of the poor (as he claims it).

For some reason, I decided to write my thoughts in regards to this issue. In retrospect, I had lousy experiences with blogsites and social sites and whatnot. But I felt that Manay Manoling has gone past fighting for what he “believes” is wrong. He has berated Margie Juico harshly. So, what is it really with you Manoling? Mahirap yatang mambatikos ng ganoon kung walang malalim na pinanghuhugutan, hindi ba?

MY NOTES:


1.PCSO is down with BANKCRUPTCY issue? 
Bankruptcy is when you spend more than what you are earning. That is not happening in PCSO. As explained by Juico, for every lotto ticket bought by an individual, 30 cents goes to the charity. 15 cents  for operating funds and 55 cents is solely for the PRICE (which is never touched). The first two can be used in the place of each other. Imagine how many Filipinos come to heel in all Lotto outlets. And one Filipino does not only pay for a single ticket. PCSO has money. A LOT. Juico already broadcasted that fact. Long before Juico became the Chairperson, there is already a BILLION debt. WOW! Whose pocket did it go? or pockets perhaps? I started in 2005, but now getting better because PCSO under Juico’s administration managed to do streamlining and they definitey have financial discipline. They were able to save 27M / month just by renegotiation in paper. Good Job Madame Margie.


2. Rationalization and Shuffling as Internal Problems
PCSO, just like any company would do, think of maximizing their employee’s talents. It was found out that everytime a new board joins the team, this person would always bring casual agent/s who is/are supposed to be co-terminous unless their appointment is justified. As of the moment, PCSO has over 400 casuals. That’s a big number. And you don’t pay people who don’t really do their job, right? I am sure everyone who is reading this would agree with me.
Reshuffling? A footage of Manay Manoling was included in the show asking why would PCSO transfer its employees to offices far from where they live. He also stressed that this action would mean spending more money. Yes, very true. But you are not the only person who has his brain working, Manoling. Did you think Juico and the rest of the team were not as good as you to be not able to perceive the consequences? WOW! Employees were transferred only if it was necessary, and no, not to places very far from their homes. Where did that come from?


3.The transfer from QI to PICC
When PCSO was moved to QI from San Marcelino, the transition reports included Certificates of Soundness and Integrity, Engineer consultants were being asked for advice as the building had structural defects. This pushed Juico to call the secretary of DPWH to inquire about this matter. As recommended, it was better to just demolish it. Juico being humane and responsible for all the people under her transferred the office to PICC as soon as possible, which I think was a wise decision rather than risk the lives of her employees. Any leader would do the same, unless you have no regard to life.


4.QI to be turned into Condominium units 
Manay Manoling would just shoot out allegations even if they were not founded yet. First, he said it was Ayala Land that was interested. Now, it’s Alex Lopez who is a close friend of Popoy. Manoling, you should know that everytime you create assumptions, you jeopardize your credibility MORE.


5. The transfer of funds to UCPB
UCPB is now accredited and allowed to handle funds from PCSO, but not all the funds were put to the said bank. Just a small amount, only because it offered bigger interest, which is reasonable and legal I believe. And this was a decision made by the whole board members. It was a collective decision. It was said clearly in the interview that  placements like this should be approved by the whole board members. Just come to think of it, if it was a decision made by Juico alone, I am confident to say that the first ones who will react will be her board members. Makes sense?


6.Why Margie Juico?
With 12 years of experience, I think it’s safe to say that Margie is the perfect person for the post. Need I say more? The President wouldn’t be the president for nothing, so trust when he appoints someone. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with assigning people on a particular role, so long as that person is capable to do the job. Clearly, Juico is effective. She’s just festered by some gay who always wanna be a diva. GIVE HER A BREAK MANAY!


7. Issue on CHildhouse
Emotional hostage it is! First off, they were advised to relocate. Communication between Childhouse and Juico didn’t happen once. There was verbal communication followed by a written one. What else was needed to get the message???


8.PCSO encourages a gambling culture?
Are you serious??? It gives people something to do and something to hope for. Without PCSO, where would our corrupt government get the budget to help those who are in need. Put it this way, your P20 actually goes a long way. You know part of that small amount you shed will aid those who are unprivilaged. And it allows you to have something to look forward to. Isn’t that great? At the end of the day, even if you didn’t win the jackpot price or the small cash winnings, you know in your heart that your money didn’t get stuck up in the cash drawer. It benefited someone. And then you wake up the next day with new hopes and dreams and well… a good heart that is willing and ready to help…


Well, I have to hit the sack now. I have a job I love so much and I sure don’t wanna come to work feeling all sleepy and cranky (I can really be cantankerous when I don’t get enough sleep.. or a good sleep at least)

PLUS! I don’t want this issue to consume the entire me tonight. That would mean nightmare (because Manay Manoling would be in it) :)


Your opinions and comments are very much welcome! Even yours, Sir Manoling.


Good Night!
