SSS statement on the influx of members, claimants in SSS branches

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The Social Security System (SSS) said that the agency has already addressed the influx of transacting members in certain SSS branches in the National Capital Region (NCR), especially in SSS Diliman Branch.

SS made the statement after a media report showed claimants camping outside the SSS Diliman Branch along East Avenue in Quezon City.


“We have accommodated all the transacting members who flocked in several of our SSS branches. We are in 100% operation capacity since all our employees are reporting in the office,” SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Aurora Ignacio said.


Ignacio said that they will continue to monitor the influx of members in SSS branches. “We will evaluate the situation to determine if there is a need to extend its servicing hours and extend its daily operations until Saturday,” she added.


Likewise, SSS renews its call for members, claimants, and the transacting public to use the agency’s online facilities such as My.SSS and SSS Mobile App for their various SSS transactions.


“We urge them to fully maximize its online facilities, especially the My.SSS portal. There are more than 30 member services available on My.SSS. They can even access some of these services on the SSS Mobile App,” Ignacio said.


Even before the pandemic, SSS have been shifting our core and business processes towards digitalization. In 2011, SSS started accepting online submission of several SSS transactions through My.SSS, an online service portal which can be found on the SSS website (www.sss.gov.ph).


Since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, SSS has accelerated the shift of its over-the-counter transactions through its various online platforms using the member’s My.SSS account and SSS Mobile App which can be done 24/7 at the comfort of their homes or offices. It is in line with SSS’ brand campaign “ExpreSSS” to provide a simpler, faster, safer, and more convenient transaction to minimize their exposure to COVID-19.


Meanwhile, Ignacio said that there is an existing online branch appointment system. Members may use the appointment system to indicate the preferred date and time that they want to be accommodated in their chosen SSS branch.


Further, SSS debunks the misconception that processing of claim and loan applications is faster in SSS Diliman Branch than in other SSS branches. It clarifies that the speed of processing their SSS transactions is based on the completeness of the documents they have submitted.


The “File Anywhere” policy is still in effect so they can transact at the nearest branch of their choice. Currently, there are 58 branches in NCR, about 135 branches in Luzon, 44 branches in Visayas, and 44 branches in Mindanao.

“We want to assure our members that we are continuously finding ways to improve our processes to better serve our members,” Ignacio concluded.

CAAP completes airport projects nationwide, with strength and resolve

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The strength and resolve amid various challenges have enabled the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to complete airport projects across the country under the administration of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Transportation Secretary Art Tugade said on Friday, 04 March 2022.Secretary Tugade said the CAAP, along with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Aviation Sector, had endured challenges, criticisms, and doubts through commitment, passion, and love for the people.

These hardships, according to Secretary Tugade, motivated the CAAP to work harder to deliver the mandate of President Rodrigo Duterte.

“When I heard the song coupled with pictures that accompanied the song, napaluha ako. Pagkat nakita ko ‘yung damdamin, yung pakikisama, commitment at passion ng CAAP. Na kung saan nakipag-isa sila sa akin upang magawa at magawa ‘yung mga katungkulan na minandate sa atin ng ating mahal na Pangulo – make the Filipino life convenient and comfortable,” Secretary Tugade’s emotional message during CAAP’s 14th anniversary celebration on Friday.

“Nilalabanan natin ‘yung mga kutsa, agam agam. Nilalabanan natin ‘yung bagyo. Nilalabanan natin ‘yung tinatawag na earthquake, kung anupamang challenges. But we have strength. We have resolve because we never felt alone,” Secretary Tugade added.

Since the start of the Duterte administration in 2016 and amid the COVID-19 pandemic for the past two years, CAAP and the rest of the DOTr Aviation Sector had completed a total of 243 airport projects nationwide. Of this number, 169 airport projects in 55 airports were completed by CAAP throughout the country as of February 2022.

Secretary Tugade commended the CAAP, led by Director General Jim Sydiongco for the ongoing works for the completion of additional transformational airport projects, facilities, and infrastructures across the country.

“Lahat kayo magagaling, matatalino, inspirado, committed, passionate. Nakita ko kung papano kayo maglingkod,” Secretary Tugade stressed.

On the other hand, DG Sydiongco pointed out that the accomplishments in the DOTr Aviation Sector over the past five years would not have been possible without the support of Secretary Tugade and the hardworking personnel of CAAP and the DOTr.

“I’d like to thank Secretary Tugade, Sec. Art, for giving me your trust and confidence and being an ever-bright beacon of light to bring us back right on track,” DG Sydiongco said.
