Breaking News: Security Guard Replacement?

Breaking News:  Security Guard Replacement?

Well, as breaking as it can get here considering the Soho Central Condominium Corporation (SCCC) Board is developer controlled with meetings held in secret and are confidential spending our money freely without consent from elections following the laws such as the Philippine Corporation Code.  So news comes from second hand sources which are then related to me.

I have just received a phone call this morning telling of a Board meeting where a decision was made to replace all guards who have been here for more than three years with new ones from elsewhere within that contracted company.  Is this good or bad?

We have not been shown the contracts and our letter for all contracts and policies to be copied to us has been ignored since late last year.  Contract renewal for the security service is coming up soon from what I was told.

Instead of replacement, the SCCC could have a drastic reduction in staff and our cost for security if properly placed CCTV was finally made for the building.  But why make such wise economic choices much less security choices when having our money flow freely?  Does anyone know?  I have been told things about this by Filipinos that is quite disturbing as to the business customs here.

So while this may seem a general good idea and might just be for some specific problems still lingering, it does not solve the general security problem and its cost.  A dog and pony show once again.

Just a reminder, all Unit Owners are members of the SCCC.  We have not elected any Directors of the Board.  The Board is developer controlled.  I have posted parts of the Philippines Corporation Code and it seems that there have been violations in regard to elections.  There have also been violations based upon the SCCC's own By-Laws which were written by the developer.

Please take action and complain to the government departments I have posted cc:'ing the media.  Take the time and energy to write and call.  Your money and the value of the building are at stake.
