PCSO SCANDAL, ACCORDING TO JUICO: KURYENTE

Margie Juico should be fired. The same goes to the entire board of the PCSO for two (2) reasons: one, for ignorance of the law and two, for spending PCSO money to back up a PR campaign to ingratiate themselves to Pnoy.


What is so illegal with giving ambulances to provincial governments? None. What is so illegal with giving vehicles to the Church? None.


Tainting these with the term "political patronage" is, without a doubt, a PR stunt, not necessarily, a legal one.


Inquirer should not banner such things, since this PCSO scandal, according to Juico, is what we in the industry call "kuryente".


Worst, it may even drag other cases of more substantive nature with it. 


It's okey to drag Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with the fertilizer scam, the North rail project and this and that anomalous deals, since these have basis of illegality.


But to drag her and her allies with this so-called PCSO mess is very dangerous.


What is so anomalous about the PCSO now?


It is Margie retaining his son as Chief of Staff, ergo, nepotism.


It is Margie and the board abandoning the Quezon Institute (QI) and spending the operational funds of the agency for leasing expenses.


It is Margie allowing a pro-Arroyo publicist Dante Ang full control of PR funds. 


And it is Margie mismanaging the affairs of the agency and not being able to settle the debts of the PCSO with hospitals despite getting bigger revenues every single day.


These are according to Manoling Morato, former board member of the PCSO.
