MANILA, Philippines—The state insurer Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) on Monday urged government agencies and individual members to promptly file their insurance claims to accelerate recovery efforts following the widespread damage caused by Typhoons Tino and Uwan.
The successive typhoons have devastated numerous areas across the country, leaving a significant impact on properties and infrastructure. The GSIS said it is prioritizing the processing of claims to provide immediate financial assistance to affected parties.
GSIS president and general-manager Jose Arnuflo Veloso said the insurer is committed to helping the nation rebuild quickly.
“In the face of these successive calamities, our commitment is to help our members and our nation rebuild as quickly as possible,” said Veloso.
“Insuring your properties provides a critical safety net, and the GSIS is here to ensure that our clients receive the benefits they are entitled to without delay,” he said.
Affected clients should immediately notify the GSIS to begin the claims process. The initial notification can be made before all formal documentation is complete, allowing the GSIS to begin its assessment and support procedures, it said.
