MANILA -- The Social Security System (SSS) announced that its Makati-Gil Puyat branch has reopened and is once again ready to serve members effective Tuesday (May 8).
In a press statement, SSS president and CEO Emmanuel Dooc said that the branch, located at the ground floor of the Employees Compensation Commission Building in Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City, had undergone renovation in line with the SSS management's commitment to enhance the quality of its service.
The Makati-Gil Puyat branch was referred to as a "mega branch office" because it offers practically all services extended by the SSS -- issuance of SS numbers, employer ID numbers, certificates of registration and even the payment of contributions/loans.
Dooc said the Gil Puyat branch, which has been in nearly continuous operation for the past 33 years, services the needs of more than 100,000 members, including over 8,000 employers in the Central Business District and surrounding areas. "We want to give our growing membership base better facilities in order to make their transactions with the SSS more comfortable," Dooc said in Filipino.
He added that aside from the renovation, they also increased the number of tellering machines in order to expedite payments by members. Before its renovation began last March, an average of 17,000 transactions took place at the SSS Makati-Gil Puyat branch on a daily basis. (PR)
