Goitia nilinaw ang isyu sa umano’y ₱1.7 Trilyong “Market Wipeout”

MARIING pinabulaanan ni Chairman Emeritus Dr. Jose Antonio Goitia ang kumalat na maling balita na umano’y ₱1.7 trilyon ang nawala sa Philippine Stock Market dahil sa isyu ng korapsyon.

“Hindi ito inosenteng pagkakamali,” ani Goitia. “Ito ay sinadyang panlilinlang na sumisira sa tiwala ng mga mamumuhunan at nagpapahina sa moral ng sambayanang Pilipino.”

Pagwawasto sa Maling Ulat

Pinuri ni Goitia ang mabilis na tugon ni Special Assistant to the President Frederick Go, na agad pinasinungalingan ang sinasabing ₱1.7 trilyong pagbaba at tinawag itong fake news.

“Ayon mismo sa Philippine Stock Exchange, ang totoong pagbaba ay nasa ₱185 bilyon lamang, hindi ₱1.7 trilyon,” ani Goitia. “Napakalaki ng diperensiya, at malinaw itong patunay na pangingilabot ang ipinalit sa tamang beripikasyon.”

Binigyang-diin din niya na si SEC Chair Francis Lim ay humingi na ng paumanhin matapos ulitin ang maling datos, at inamin na ang pinagkunan niyang ulat ay peke.

“Walang perpektong tao,” sabi ni Goitia. “Ang mahalaga ay ang bilis nating itama ang pagkakamali. Iyan ang tunay na integridad.”

Pagpapanatili ng Tiwala sa Ekonomiya

Binalaan ni Goitia na ang pagpapakalat ng maling impormasyon sa ekonomiya ay hindi lamang usaping pampulitika kundi isang panganib sa bansa.

“Kapag nawala ang tiwala sa katotohanan, mawawala rin ang tiwala sa sistema,” aniya. “Matagal nang pinagbubuti ng administrasyong Marcos ang pagpapanumbalik ng katatagan at ang pag-akit ng mga mamumuhunan. Ang ganitong uri ng paninira ay nakaaantala sa progreso.”

Binigyang halimbawa niya ang mga bilyong pisong pamumuhunan at mga proyektong isinusulong sa ilalim ng CREATE More Act bilang patunay na nananatiling matatag ang interes ng mga mamumuhunan.

“Hindi bumabagsak ang Pilipinas. Patuloy itong bumabangon,” pahayag ni Goitia. “At ang pagbabangong ito ay dapat suportahan, hindi siraan.”

Paninindigan para sa Katotohanan

Ayon kay Goitia, dapat maging paalala sa lahat ang pangyayaring ito, lalo na sa mga nasa posisyon ng kapangyarihan, na ang bawat salita ay may bigat at epekto sa mamamayan.
