GSIS investment

Philippine Senate Deputy Minority Leader and Chairman of the Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality Risa Hontiveros stated during a Senate session on August 5, stated that Government Service Insurance System allegedly invested 1 billion pesos on DigiPlus. Hontiveros stated that "According to the Ombudsman, Mr. Veloso and his fellow GSIS officials may have committed serious misconduct when they entered into an agreement to purchase Alternergy’s Perpetual Preferred Shares without the approval of the GSIS Board of Trustees, and in clear violation of the GSIS’s own investment policies and guidelines." Senator Raffy Tulfo, who is the Chairman of the Committee on Games and Amusement, said he is willing to investigate the issue. GSIS issued a statement on August 7, and defended its stand on P1 billion investment in DigiPlus, saying the state pension fund remained "strong, secure, and actuarially sound" despite growing public concern and scrutiny from lawmakers.
