Memorandum Circular No. 913




MALACAÑAN PALACE MANILA BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES [ Memorandum Circular No. 913, June 10, 1976 ] REQUIRING GOVERNMENT OFFICES TO EXTEND ASSISTANCE TO THE GSIS GENERAL HOSPITAL IN THE COLLECTION OF UNPAID ACCOUNTS OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. It has come to the attention of this Office that quite a number of government employees have hospitalization accounts with the GSIS General Hospital which have remained unpaid for some years. Partly because of this situation, the hospital has been finding difficulty in meeting its financial obligations. Under the provisions of existing civil service law and rules government employees are liable to administrative disciplinary action for “willful failure to pay just debts.” It is therefore hereby directed that all heads of departments, bureaus and offices, including government-owned or controlled corporations and local governments, require the officials and employees under them who have outstanding accounts with the GSIS General Hospital to settle them or make arrangements for their settlement in installments for a period of not more than one year. The GSIS General Hospital shall furnish the offices concerned with lists of their employees with outstanding accounts, and the heads of said offices are hereby enjoined to take appropriate administrative disciplinary action against those who refuse or fail to settle their accounts one way or another.1aшphi1 (SGD.)
