Gov't fat cats under fire-headline

Dear Mouse,

Hindi lang ang mga politiko ang dapat i-diet kung hindi pati ang matatabang director ng mga GOCC.

Sabi nga ni Sassy:

Clearly, there are government posts where salaries, benefits and other emoluments surpass those in private for-profit corporations. Of the 14 of 216 government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs), the top earners in 2001 were Ma. Livia de Leon, chairwoman of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, with 9.8 million.blockquote>

Lalo kayong magngingitngit pag nalaman ninyong walang magagawa ang Malacanan sa mga suweldo ng execs na ito ng GOCCs.

Ako natulala, kaya tawagin ninyo akong CAT-tulala,pinsan ni KRISTALALA.

Mula sa inquirer, hati-hatiin natin ang balita.

MALACAÑANG is powerless to bring down to reasonable levels the salaries and perks of executives of government-owned and -controlled corporations (GOCCs) and can only appeal to their sense of delicadeza (propriety), according to Budget Secretary Emilia Boncodin.

Ca t-tulala sez: May delicadeza ba sila ?

At a special briefing for the editorial staff of the Inquirer on Tuesday night, Boncodin said that after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had named her nominees to the board and management of GOCCs, they could practically sign their own monthly paychecks

Cat-tulala asks, "Sino ang Hudas, Hestas, Barabas ang nagpasimuno nito ?"

Boncodin said Ms Arroyo would push for the enactment of the Omnibus Reengineering Law that would authorize the President to reorganize the executive branch, including GOCCs.

Ca t-tulala sez: Sige itulak niya para mabawasan ang suweldo ng mga ganid na yan.

Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye expressed shock over the amounts cited, saying these were "quite high based on our present financial condition."

Cat-tulala sez: Di natulala rin siya.

Gabriela party-list Representative Liza Maza said it was highly immoral for GOCC officials to be receiving millions of pesos in salaries, allowances and perks in the midst of widespread poverty."We cannot allow this to continue," she said.

Throw them out

Cat-tulala sez:I have a better idea.kalbuhin.
