The Provincial Government of Pampanga has been formally commended by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) for its outstanding financial management and adherence to remittance obligations.
GSIS Recognition for Financial Discipline
During the GSIS Year-End Event at the SMX Convention Center Clark on December 28, 2025, the province was highlighted for its significant improvement in compliance. The key achievement was a substantial reduction in its unpaid premium receivables, amounting to ₱5,654,592.39.
In her remarks, GSIS Pampanga Branch Manager Kristine Joi Macam emphasized the broader impact of such diligence. She stated that accurate and timely remittances are crucial for fortifying trust in public institutions and ensuring the consistent delivery of essential services to citizens.
Top Compliant Agencies in Region III
The Pampanga provincial government was not alone in receiving accolades. Other government entities in the region were also recognized for their high level of compliance. The list of commended agencies includes:
- Clark Development Corporation
- The Department of Education (covering both elementary and secondary levels)
- The Department of Health Region III
Leadership and Future Benefits
Provincial officials directly linked this financial turnaround to the implementation of stricter fiscal controls under the current administration. They credited the leadership of Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda and Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda for instilling a culture of tighter financial discipline.
The practical consequence of this achievement is highly positive for government workers. According to the Capitol, the reduction in unpaid premiums is vital for guaranteeing uninterrupted access to benefits for all provincial government employees. This move secures their welfare and underscores the local government's commitment to responsible stewardship of public funds.
