Sibugay - To better serve its pensioners aged 90 years old and
above, the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) Pagadian branch has
intensified its home visits to prevent suspension of monthly payments.
Engr. Leoncito S.
Manuel, GSIS Pagadian branch manager said as an old-age pensioner, one must
renew his active status yearly, on his birth month. “Home visits are done for
old-age survivorship pensioners who cannot travel to the nearest GSIS office,”
he explained.
Manuel said for
2015, the GSIS has identified 50 old-age pensioners scheduled for home visit.
As of today, there are only 8 pensioners who have not been visited by GSIS.
According to
Engr. Manuel, no less than GSIS Senior Vice-President Atty. Dionisio C. Ebdane
Jr., commended GSIS Pagadian for the highest percentage of home visits done in
the Visayas-Mindanao area, during the recent Managers’ Conference held in
Dumaguete City last month.
In the Zamboanga
Sibugay area, GSIS recently conducted home visits and delivered UMID card to 90-year
old Eulalia Sajulga of Imelda, Zamboanga Sibugay; Marietta Junsay, 93 years
old, also from the town of Imelda; and
Agripino M. Santos, 91 years old of Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay.
Aside from the
home visits, GSIS personnel Marvic Joy T. Ababol and Sherwin Duran also turned-over
a check amounting to P50,000 to Mayor Julius T. Acosta Sr. of Siay, this
province, representing his Personal Accident Medical Reimbursement.
