Another controversy is exposed right
after the Pork Barrel Scam. This time the Social Security System (SSS) is in
the limelight. According to news reports, the Board of Directors of the SSS has
given themselves 1 Million pesos each as bonus last year and SSS employees also
received huge amounts in pay
supplements. More than 270 Million pesos were given away as bonuses by the SSS
last year to its personnel.
The
Social Security System is being funded by its members which are mostly composed
of ordinary minimum wage workers. The SSS has recently purged the list of its
Senior Citizen Pensioners, old people who failed to submit themselves for verification
were immediately cutoff from receiving their rightful benefits. This was
strictly implemented by the SSS hierarchy to weed out the “ghost” or long dead
beneficiaries and thereby stem the hemorrhaging SSS funds.
The
SSS presently collects 25Million pesos monthly from its active members and it
provides 20Million pesos monthly to its pensioners; with this present
situation, SSS funds are expected to last only until the year 2036. So SSS has
begun purging, eradicating and housecleaning its list of pensioners to save
money.
If
SSS is losing cash and is about to go belly up on 2036 then why the 270 Million
peso yearly gratuity for its Board Members and employees? I mean, if the SSS is
supposedly trying to increase its funds so that it can last longer and provide
more services well after 2036 then shouldn’t they stop giving away huge
bonuses?
Malacanang
said that the extra pay given by the SSS to its own people are legal and above
board so no SSS Top Honcho is going to get axed or fired. It could be legal,
lawful and legitimate but is it morally right? The SSS hierarchy admitted that
funds are getting low yet they keep on wasting OUR SSS CONTRIBUTIONS!!! SSS
funds may not be from our taxes but it is still from our pockets which literally means SSS MEMBER'S HARD EARNED MONEY!!!
Latest
news revealed that the SSS will again give out the same enormous extra pay this
year to its personnel…. Jesus Christ! These shitheads that work in our
Government have only one thing in common, they are only looking for the best
way to steal our money. They pocket our taxes, rip-off our treasury and now
they even pilfer our retirement/pension funds. They are all scumbags!!!
