ILOILO CITY (PIA) – The Social Security System (SSS) – Iloilo Central branch has inaugurated its new office at Citi Mall in Pavia, Iloilo province on Oct. 24, 2024.
During the program, SSS officer-in-charge president and CEO Atty. Voltaire Agas, said that the new milestone “shows the commitment of SSS to expanding their reach and enhancing their services to better serve the stakeholders.”
“This symbolizes our dedication to providing social protection to our constituents. To our stakeholders, we really pledge to deliver efficient and compassionate service,” Agas added.
With a space covering around 1,237 square meters, the new SSS Iloilo Central branch office is expected to give comfort to stakeholders, including pensioners, who want to transact with the agency.
“Compared to our previous location, the area now is really comfortable and accessible as it is bigger.
