DAVAO CITY, Philippines — The Social Security System (SSS) Mindanao South 1 Division clarified that the business operations of its eight branch offices in the Davao region would remain unchanged despite the SSS adopting a flexible work arrangement for its employees.
SSS Vice President for Mindanao South 1 Division Mary Ellen A. Estoque confirmed that branches in Davao, Davao-Toril, Digos, Panabo, Tagum, Mati, and Bislig will maintain their operating hours from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Selected SSS offices located in malls, such as Davao-Ilustre and Robinsons Tagum Service Office, will operate from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The NCCC Davao Service Office will follow a slightly different schedule, operating from Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Estoque encouraged members to utilize the SSS online services, which are available 24/7 through the My.SSS Portal, for their convenience. “They can also pay their SSS contributions and loan payments through accredited payment partners,” she added.
Starting June 3, the SSS implemented a flexible work arrangement in its corporate offices in Quezon City and Makati City to help mitigate traffic congestion in Metro Manila. However, Estoque emphasized that this change does not affect the operating hours of the branch offices in the Davao region.
Members are urged to take advantage of the online services for various transactions such as checking contributions, applying for loans, and other inquiries to avoid the hassle of long queues and save time. The SSS continues to improve its digital platforms to ensure a seamless and efficient service experience for all members.
For more information and updates, members can visit the SSS website or contact their local SSS office.
