    The worst thing here is that the MWSS isn't even making money. It's not doing its share of remitting to the government, and then it bleeds the taxpayers dry to be able to give vulgar amounts to their own people. And these same people buy big SUVs for themselves and their bodyguards to bully the taxpaying motorists on the street.

    Ugh!

    govt owned companies do not exist to make money

    they exist to lose money

    unlike private companies, govt companies do not exist to make profit

    instead of making money and remitting earnings to the national treasury, the national treasury has to write checks to support the companies

    the national govt has to subsidize govt companies to keep them operational

    govt owned companies exist for ONE PURPOSE: to support/maintain the lifestyle of the people working in those companies

    the employees, from top to bottom, milk as much as they can from the companies

    unlike private companies who have real owners around to protect their companies' interests, govt companies have no real owners to protect the companies' interests

    nobody has ownership interest

    nobody has their own capital at stake

    everyone is an employee

    even the person at the very top

    so who cares if the companies lose money?

    all employees care about are their salaries and bonuses and benefits

    they don't care if the companies lose money

    they don't care if the companies collapse

    they know the companies can't collapse

    coz the national govt subsidizes them

    the party goes on and on indefinitely at taxpayer expense

    black holes

    That's why PRIVATE is more efficient than PUBLIC. Private companies feel the pain of losing money, public don't.

    Garcia does not hold any executive position in the agency but only as chairman of the board, where he receives P14,000 per diem per meeting

    Drilon said the board met 47 times in 2009 or at least once a week.
    47 x 14,000 = 658,000 in 2009 pa meeting meeting lang heheh kasi may iba pa sya tarbaho or pinag-chairmanan

    Kaya nga dapat ang mga iyan,- patakbuhin like they're running a corporation.

    They should be responsible for their own P&L...

    And, profit sharing should be at the discretion of the central conglomerate. Those subsidiaries reporting profit should be given a fair share of bonus for their efforts and contributions to the national coffer. While those reporting loss should get nothing and later be sacked for being non-performers... Other subsidiaries who are not into this business model should say be at 'transfer pricing' for example.....

    just look at NAPOCOR

    in terms of revenue, it's probably the country's largest corporation

    pero syempre, as a GOCC, it's not profitable

    it's money-losing
