Worse, it was the GSIS itself that declared the property vacant and refused to release the title to the distraught retiree, Dolores Kapalangan.

Kapalangan's house is now being claimed by a certain Pol Zulueta, an employee of the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), who is also paying the GSIS for the property, which is located at the Amityville Subdivision in this town.

"Zulueta even went to the house, took pictures of it and told me that he had already bought it," Kapalangan complained.

"When I checked with the GSIS, I found out that I had paid for it completely. But for reasons GSIS chief Winston Garcia only knows, the same house was sold to Zulueta, who was told that it was vacant. GSIS had two buyers of the same property!" she added.

Kapangalan was among the 25,000 retired and active government employees who formally formed an alliance to fight for their rights and benefits, which they claimed had been denied them by the GSIS.

Calling themselves Nagkaisang Biktima ng GSIS or NABIGKIS, the group vowed to carry out a nationwide mass actions to dramatize their plight and demand for drastic reforms at the GSIS headed by Winston Garcia.

Among the group, which converged over the weekend in front of the old GSIS building along Elliptical road in Quezon City were retired principals and public school supervisors who were victims of alleged anomalies in GSIS.

Manuel Soliven, a retired principal, also wants the GSIS pay him the cost of living allowance (COLA), which was stopped when Garcia assumed his post as the head of the pension fund.

During the picket they group carried a mock padlock and carried out a symbolic closure of the old GSIS office until the retirees and active government employees shall have enjoyed their benefits in full.

Aside from hosing loan irregularity, the group also complained on non-posting of premium payments, deduction of benefits because of non-payment of government agencies like the Department of Education (DepEd) and the illegal and unexplained disbursement of funds. - GMANews.TV
