Garcia slams
business group
over Meralco issue |
|
BY Likha C. Cuevas-Miel, Reporter
The Government Service Insurance
System (GSIS) criticized the Makati Business Club for making
statements that are allegedly “the height of irresponsibility”
and “immaturity” after the business group condemned the state
pension fund and the Arroyo administration over its moves towards
Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).
Winston Garcia, GSIS president
and general manager, is challenging the influential business group
to invite him over since he is “willing to speak before them”
about how the Lopezes are allegedly mismanaging the utility firm and
committing other supposed violations of the Electric Power Industry
Reform Act and its own franchise.
