Jimmy Bondoc challenges Agot Isidro to work for the government: “I am almost sure that you would be kinder”

Singer and Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Vice President for Entertainment Jimmy Bondoc responded to actress Agot Isidro’s remark about the temporary stoppage of accepting walk-in requests for medical assistance, following the arrest of a couple who attempted to defraud PAGCOR by submitting fake documents for fictitious medical cases.

On Twitter, Agot expressed her disapproval over PAGCOR’s decision, saying it was “not fair” for others in need of the assistance.

She wrote: “This is not fair.

Why punish everyone for the sins of a few?

Marami ang nangangailangan ng medical assistance. This is not right.”

Jimmy then responded to Agot’s remark through a lengthy Facebook post, saying: “Dear Mam Agot Isidro,

“This message comes with sincere and utmost respect for you as a Filipina woman, and as one who seems to have strong beliefs regarding our nation, regardless of partisanship.

“I was informed that you expressed strong criticism about our temporary stoppage of accepting walk-in requests for medical assistance.

“Instead of a long reply, I thought it best to simply enumerate just 2 important points and developments.

“First and foremost, due to the quick response of all concerned agencies, we are now receiving walk-in requests again, provided that they have been verified by the PCSO. This is not red tape, uunahan na kita. This is based on many legal reasons. But like I said, I would rather keep it short. Feel free to read the PCSO and PAGCOR charters, which are available online.

“Second, I would just like to share a personal wish. I wish that more people as smart and as influential as you would be more active regarding governance. Believe it or not, your opinions are very welcome.”

Jimmy then challenged Agot to work for the government and even offered an endorsement to an office she is qualified for.

“Sana talaga makapag-trabaho kayo sa gobyerno. In fact, I challenge you. I respectfully challenge you. If you accept, I will personally ask my bosses if we could endorse you to an office that you are qualified for.

“After a year, I am almost sure that you would be kinder, slower to anger and judgment, and perhaps, more enlightened as a human being.

Sincerely,
Jimmy Bondoc,” Jimmy concluded.
