Hindi totoong malulugi ang SSS sa dagdag pensyon
Hindi umano totoo na mababangkarote ang Social Security System sa pagdaragdag ng P2,000 pension ng mga retirado.
Sinabi ni Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares na hindi totoo ang pahayag ni Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile na walang pondo ang SSS para mapondohan ang dagdag na pensyon.
“The SSS and Sen. Enrile should stop trying to delude the people that it has no funds for the P2,000 pension increase because this is not true. The SSS Board in Congress hearings actually admitted several times that it has the funds for the pension increase. The increase will only shorten its fund life to 2029 instead of the current 2042,” ani Enrile.
Ayon kay Colmenares sa loob ng 14 taon ay makakahanap na ng dagdag pondo ang SSS.
“In 2001, SSS declared that it has a fund life of only five years and yet it was able to increase this to 2042 in just 14 years. If it previously survived a five year fund life, then surely it can also survive a 14 year fund life. Truthfully speaking, we are in a better shape than the United Kingdom which has a fund life of only up to 2027 and Canada which has a fund life of 2022 or merely seven years,” dagdag pa ng solon.
Ayon kay Colmenares ang P428 bilyong investment fund ng SSS ay kumikita ng P32 bilyon kada taon. Ang net revenue ng SSS noong nakaraang taon ay umabot umano sa P44.47 bilyon.
Sa halip na dagdag ang kontribusyon sa SSS, ang dapat umano nitong gawin ay singilin ang mga employer na hindi nagre-remit ng hulog ng kanilang mga empleyado at bawasan ang bonus na ibinibigay sa kanilang mga opisyal.
