We have a lot of universities and colleges in the city (UPV, WVSU, CPU, USA, SPUI). We cannot afford to build another college and produce substandard graduates. If we are worried of the usage of the money just sitting in the banks, then maybe the city government can have a scholarship program for those poor and deserving students. They can support the academic expenses of these students in the existing instutions in Iloilo. I am worried of putting up a college, and producing substandard graduates later on. I am affraid that later on, this college will have to be in need of more funding to sustain its operations. So why not invest on existing universities? Investing on what we already have will result to a stronger educational system in Iloilo. For the city college, I think it would be best for Iloilo not to put up a city college.

As the above makes clear, the problems with GSIS is more widespread. It is built into the corporate culture of the bureaucracy. GSIS has over 3,000 employees spread across 125+ offices. This is not gigantic but it is not small either. A single person cannot be held responsible for the endemic problems of GSIS. Of course, Garcia could affect more change if he spent less time grandstanding on non-GSIS issues and more time fixing the serious corporate culture problems on GSIS One should be careful about blaming the problems of the GSIS on only one person.
