GSIS President assumes PHILSSA chairmanship

Government Service Insurance Agency (GSIS) President and General Manager Robert G. Vergara has formally assumed the chairmanship of the Social Security Association (PHILSSA).

In a board meeting last March 22, Mr. Vergara assumed the position in holdover capacity. Philhealth President and CEO Dr. Rey B. Aquino, on the other hand, assumed the position for being the vice chairman.

Pag-IBIG CEO, Atty. Darlene B. Bernabe, also assumed the position of treasurer.

The term of Mr. Vergara, Dr. Aquino, and Atty. Bernabe as the officers of PHILSAA will continue for the next four months.

After the term, the board will have a new set of officer come June 30. The new set of officers would have a two-year term.

Under the rules of election of officers for PHILSSA, the Vice Chairman is automatically appointed as the Chairman and so the board should only elect for the position of Treasurer and Vice Chairman.
