Wazzup Pilipinas!?
In a momentous leap toward public service transformation, the Social Security System (SSS) unveiled its newly relocated and modernized service office in the heart of Taytay, Rizal—marking a powerful symbol of government commitment to uplift the lives of Filipino workers and entrepreneurs in one of the country’s fastest-growing towns.
Gracing the inauguration were SSS President and CEO Robert Joseph Montes De Claro, Social Security Commissioner Eva B. Arcos, and Taytay’s own Mayor Allan Martine S. De Leon. Their presence underscored the critical significance of the relocation—not just as a physical move, but as a dynamic shift in accessibility and efficiency for the residents of this bustling municipality known nationwide as the Garments Capital of the Philippines.
Nestled within the Taytay Municipal Government Complex, the new SSS Taytay Service Office now occupies a strategic space on the 3rd floor of the Manila East Arcade II Building in Barangay San Juan. Open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Mondays to Fridays, the office stands ready to deliver vital services with renewed energy and an elevated sense of purpose.
A New Era in Public Service
In a rousing speech, CEO De Claro declared that this office launch is more than just a relocation—it’s a declaration of intent.
“This is about bringing government services closer to the people,” he said with conviction. “SSS is no longer just a name—it’s a commitment. We are transforming into a more responsive, service-oriented institution dedicated to the needs of our members and employers.”
With Taytay’s economic landscape teeming with micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the new service office is a critical resource, especially for business owners who rely on timely and efficient SSS transactions to comply with government regulations and ensure the social protection of their employees.
Empowered by Local Partnership
This achievement was made possible through an extraordinary collaboration between the SSS and the local government of Taytay. Mayor De Leon and his administration provided the office space free of charge, covered the full renovation costs, and even ensured stable internet connectivity—an unprecedented gesture that reflects Taytay’s deep-rooted support for national initiatives.
“What you see today is the product of a shared vision,” De Claro acknowledged, praising the municipality’s proactive approach. “This is how real public service is done—with cooperation, compassion, and concrete action.”
Engineered for Efficiency and Accessibility
Spanning 75 square meters, the SSS Taytay Service Office is a compact powerhouse capable of handling more than 300 transactions daily. Designed to serve both individual members and employers, the office offers a full range of services, including:
Membership registration
Submission of requests for record updates
Employer compliance certificate issuance
Beneficiary additions and member corrections
Annual Confirmation of Pensioners (ACOP) processing
Adding to its versatility is the e-center, where members can access My.SSS services—registering online, recovering login credentials, and even updating employer profiles—all under one roof.
Service Where It Matters Most
For the people of Taytay and its neighboring towns, the opening of this new office is a long-awaited relief. No more long journeys to distant branches. No more frustrating queues in crowded offices. This is SSS showing up where it matters most—in the everyday lives of working Filipinos.
As the ribbon was cut and applause echoed through the hall, it wasn’t just a celebration of a new office. It was the heralding of a renewed chapter in public service—where government agencies listen, respond, and rise to meet the needs of the people.
Because for SSS, this isn’t just an office.
It’s a promise delivered.
