Emilio de Quiros was quoted as saying that, “For every P1 [contribution], ang kapalit niyan e P6 na benepisyo… makikita mo agad ang imbalance… ‘Yun ang nag-cre-create ng tinatawag nating unfunded liabilities,” de Quiros told ABS-CBN.

The President of the Philippines revealed earlier that a total of P1.1 billion unfunded liabilities incurred by the agency was true but he (–foul word(s) removed–)ured that the agency is also doing what it can to further expand its resources in order to support its members.
