GOVERNOR Eugenio Jose Lacson assured Thursday, March 4, that action shall be taken on the petition of the Capitol employees against Human Resource Office head Atty. Anabelle Palic.
"I don't like to take it up in public because it is an internal matter," Lacson said.
He said he has asked the provincial administrator to oversee the issue.
Palic, for her part, said she will answer the issues and complaints Friday, March 5.
She said she has some jobs to attend to in Escalante City after the official turnover was made of the district hospital to the concerned local government unit.
The employees through the Progressive Alliance of Capitol Employees in their petition are asking the governor to re-assign Palic from her present position because of various complaints, including alleged massive deductions of employees' leave credits at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic especially those who were quarantined, her policy for retirees where she requires copies of Individual Performance and Commitment Review (IPCR) for Capitol properties and equipment whose Memorandum Receipts were issued to them for the past 10 years despite that the GSIS in answer to the letter-inquiry of Pace has confirmed that such clearances are not necessary anymore for retirees retirement claims.
"Several retirees have not received their GSIS retirement benefits yet because HR is not endorsing their papers," said Renelo Lastierre, Pace president.
