Modern facility to serve over 63K members and pensioners in Mindanao
Davao City – The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) broke ground today for its new Davao Branch Office along McArthur Highway, Matina, marking a major step in modernizing services for over 63,000 members and pensioners in the region.
GSIS Chairman Rodolfo del Rosario led the ceremony along with GSIS Officer in Charge (OIC) Juliet Bautista and other executives.
“This project represents our promise to bring government service closer to the people. We are building not just a new office but a stronger connection with our members in Mindanao,” said Chairman del Rosario.
OIC Bautista also underscored the significance of the project. “This groundbreaking reflects our commitment to strengthen our presence across the country and deliver quality service in facilities that meet the needs of our members,” she said.
The new two-story building will rise on the same site where the old office stood before it was closed in 2019 due to structural concerns from frequent earthquakes. The facility is designed to be resilient, accessible, and member-focused, especially for those in Davao del Sur, Davao Occidental, and nearby provinces.
Established in 1957, the Davao branch is among the oldest in the country. From a 10-person team serving 8,000 members, it now covers over 47,000 active members and 16,000 pensioners.
The event also featured a virtual tour titled “Past Echoes, Future Visions” and a townhall meeting with employees from GSIS Davao, Kidapawan, and Tagum branches.
“This is about providing Ginhawa for all, with our members at the heart of everything,” said Atty. Isagani del Rosario, Acting SVP for the VisMin Operations Group.
