                    [Summary] => The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) said it would pull out its investments in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) only when it has secured the approval of the local bourse.


The state pension fund holds 1.39 million shares in PSE, equivalent to an ownership stake of nine percent.


In a statement issued yesterday, the GSIS said it has not returned the shares yet as it is still awaiting the approval of the PSE.
