Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) president and general-manager Jose Arnulfo Veloso met with Philippine Government Employees Association (PGEA) officers to intensify awareness of the agency’s short-term microloan facility for government workers.
The meeting aligns with a directive from Department of Finance Secretary Frederick Go to expand information dissemination so more members can benefit from the program, known as Ginhawa Go.
Veloso said Ginhawa Go provides fast and affordable financial assistance through the GSIS Touch mobile application, offering members a safer alternative to high-interest borrowing during temporary financial needs.
“Ginhawa Go is designed as a practical bridge for temporary financial gaps. It gives our members access to immediate support without exposing them to excessive interest and debt traps,” Veloso said.
He said strong information partnerships are crucial to the program’s success.
“We cannot rely on announcements alone. We need leaders like PGEA to help us cascade accurate information to the grassroots so members can make informed financial decisions,” he said.
