MANILA, Philippines – The Social Security System (SSS) has begun an early rollout of the second tranche of its Pension Reform Program, moving forward an increase originally scheduled for September and extending relief to about 4.1 million pensioners.
In a statement on Tuesday, Finance Secretary and Social Security Commission Chair Frederick Go and SSS President and CEO Robert Joseph de Claro said the agency will release roughly P6 billion in additional pension benefits from June to August 2026.
Both added that the release aims to ease pressure from inflation and higher energy costs.
