The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is set to hold a series of dialogues with associations of public school teachers to discuss issues related to service records (SR) and the premium-based policy.

“We welcome opportunities to have a dialogue with public school teachers so we can explain why there is a need to implement such policies and to answer whatever questions they may have,” said Enriqueta Disuanco, GSIS executive vice president for corporate support sector.

Stressing that the GSIS is owned by its members and pensioners, PPSTA President and GSIS Board of Trustee Mario Ramirez said dialogue help in clarifying the issues related to GSIS services which are constantly raised by teachers.

“When I joined the GSIS as a Board of Trustee, I became knowledgeable on how GSIS works and thus, have a better understanding of its operations. Through this dialogue, I hope we can resolve the issues and teachers can also help in taking care of the GSIS because it is ours,” Ramirez said.

Disuanco said the GSIS and the Department of Education started reconciling the SRs of teachers in 2005. Last December 8, the regional offices of the GSIS and DepEd started a series of meetings for the validation of the GSIS records.

She said the reconciliation of the GSIS and DepEd records is an on-going process and pointed out that the system has enabled a faster processing since it is done in batches and members do not have to go to the GSIS.#
