Gwen has doors, table removed

WHEN Rep. Gwendolyn Garcia took out her personal stuff at the Capitol office that she occupied for nine years, she included the main door and inner doors of the governor’s office, all made of hard wood, and a thick 10-foot long dining table made of narra.

The doors and the table were her family’s property and part of a Maitland Smith design collection.

Gov. Hilario Davide III, her successor, said that as long as those were her personal property, then “she has the right to bring them home.”

Provincial General Services Office (PGSO) head Eva Encabo showed an inventory list of Capitol-owned items taken from the governor’s office.

The narra table and doors were not in the list, indicating that these were personal property of the former governor.

Garcia, now Cebu’s third district representative, called up Sun.Star Cebu and said the furniture and the “leatherized” door are owned by her brother Winston, former general manager of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).

Davide and his wife Jobelle confirmed that the doors belong to the Garcias.

Jobelle told Sun.Star Cebu that they plan to install clear glass doors so anyone can see what’s going on inside the governor’s office.

Two department heads wondered aloud why Garcia had the doors detached.

They also said Garcia should have left the narra dining table, as it was given to her in her capacity as governor. The table was a gift from a town mayor of Cebu.

Garcia was livid when sought for her reaction.

“Sobra ra ning bashing sa amo! I-portray pa ako hasta kanang nangawat og pultahan,” Garcia said in a call to Sun.Star Cebu.

She said the name of her father, “Rep. Pablo Garcia,” is carved on the doors and printed on the book replica design on the table. This was why she had these taken out of the governor’s office.

“Wala na gidala sa akong balay (doors and furniture). They were put on storage,” said Garcia.

“And just for your enlightenment, all items including furniture and doors in the governor’s office were properly tagged in order to segregate which were government property and which were PERSONAL,” she said in a text message later.

A PGSO inventory list on the items in the governor’s office include, among others, 500 airsoft and horseshoe T-shirts, seven bullet-proof vests, 53 copies of the book “Pride of Place” prized at about P4,000 each; five copies of the “Balaanong Bahandi” book and 280 bags for school heads.

I think it's pretty clear cut that these were her personal property. Heck, even the incoming governor says they were hers. I don't see what the big deal is here.

Trial by publicity again. No wonder singapore is a very progressive state because they do not allow their media, foreign and local alike to do these things.

I remember the PCGG which was a reaction to the supposed claims of ill gotten wealth by the marcos family which has yet to prove at least one case that was ruled in their favor by the courts. The PCGG could be the poster boy of media or government who likes to destroy people via mind conditioning. It is quite sad since majority of filipinos are intellectually challenged and worse is that some who know they are wrong are too proud to admit their lapse of judgement. Sad, very sad.

ang pangutana ani, kung kang kinsang kwarta ang gigamit sa pag palit anang table og door? mo ingon sya nga iyang property?

unya if ang kwarta nga gipalit nya ana kay gikan pud Capitolyo?

If its her personal property, it is hers.
She has the right to take it back.
But I still do not like her.

Nah, if you talk from a politician who sees and interacts with these kinds of things they will just tell you it is pretty normal and even accepted. Its the system, people.
