00:00 Some former employees of IBC 13 became emotional because finally, they will get the long-awaited benefit as retirees.
00:11 This is what Denise Osorio reported.
00:13 The long wait is over.
00:17 After 22 years, finally, former employees of IBC 13 will get their benefit as retirees.
00:25 Retired driver Mau Balanday is crying when he faced the camera.
00:31 He is happy to receive the long-term benefit of his long service to the company.
00:37 When I joined IBC, I was happy because I was a part of IBC.
00:41 I was happy when I joined.
00:43 Now, I am happy because I am not just looking at the money.
00:47 I am looking at the debt inside because IBC 13 helped my family.
00:54 My children were able to finish their studies because of IBC 13.
00:58 According to IBC 13 President and Chief Executive Officer, Atty. Jose Policarpio,
01:03 they asked the Special Appropriation to budget the retirement pay of retired employees
01:09 just to solve the long-standing problem of the so-called government sequestered network.
01:14 This budget is not from the so-called budget for retirees, pensioners, refugees, etc.
01:26 This is a special appropriation.
01:29 This is not happening because we just got 500 million.
01:34 We talked to Secretary Chaylor.
01:38 One time, big time, let's solve the problem of IBC 13.
01:41 When I became the PCO Secretary, one of the first things that I discussed with the President
01:47 was the plight of the retirees in IBC 13.
01:52 Because the situation was so pitiful.
01:57 They were very lucky because the 7th President is President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr.
02:03 who helped.
02:05 And another big help was Secretary Cheryl Garapiel of the PCO.
02:10 It's been a long time since I haven't been paid.
02:13 I've been working, I've grown, I've saved.
02:17 I've been paid everything.
02:19 I'm very happy.
02:21 However, because of the work, some of them didn't wait for it.
02:25 Even now, it's still being given to the families of retired employees.
02:30 Those who died, those who are sick, they went.
02:33 And those who are sick and can't go, they were given special power of attorney.
02:38 Those who died, we helped them to have extra judicial settlement.
02:44 I assigned a lawyer to prepare the papers and they will sign it.
02:49 In short, everything is in order because I don't want the releases to be stopped.
02:54 Meanwhile, IBC 13 President appealed to be responsible for releasing any information
03:01 to avoid false speculations.
03:04 One of our mandate is we report the truth.
03:07 If we see anything that is being peddled by a social media of wrongdoing,
03:13 we try to come out with authentic news supported by facts, documents and everything.
03:19 Media is reporting to the people the proper news, the right news and documented news.
