ALL TALK


Time and again it has been proven, that when it comes to tomorrow nothing is certain.

The GSIS is like a conventional doctor with a paraphrased age-old motto, you follow what it would say but it won’t follow on what you did do. You try filing a monetary claim at their strictly designated unsympathetic, strict filing clerk, and in turn, she’d give you a kilometric list of documents to be submitted as if they were just making sure you’re not a suicide bombing jerk.

Then you patiently asked them seven times seven times, if they were so sure only those documents were all they needed though you felt like you’re indicted for high crimes. And that GSIS frontliner, surer than a bogus private insurer, would reply a dry “Yes, Sir” which made you think you were Batman and her “The Joker.”

And you made a king’s vow before her aesthetically-challenged poker face, never to return therein unless you bring everything in utter completeness. Some arduous and hard days’ nights came to pass. The most awaited D-Day has arrived at last. You were bringing those bulky documents the way the world was carried by Atlas. From your home bed that day to the GSIS palace you thought of nothing but fat check and pretty cash.

But some expectation only led to frustration. Another clerk therein needed more documents in addition. Such kind of moment in this very complicated and incomprehensible life would surely tempt you to understand why some bombers don’t mind suicide. The GSIS apparently exists to bolster member’s sufferings and strife. Like private insurers, it is all talk and pure hype.

Like the three giant firms trying to outdo each other in insurance coverage to conquer the market. Insurance Firm “A” confidently announced they were insuring anyone from basket to casket. Unperturbed, Insurance Firm “B” advertised it with aplomb, that their insurance policy would cover members from womb to tomb.

Like your GSIS behaving badly, Insurance Firm “C” upped the ante. And the result was all the people trooped to its office for immediate registration. All because it’s so far the only insurance corporation, which policy period would cover from erection to resurrection.
