August 1, 2025

The state-run Social Security System (SSS) will roll out a pension reform program (PRP) starting September, granting higher monthly pensions, with an up to 33-percent increase for beneficiaries over three years.

Retirement and disability private pensioners under the SSS will receive a total of 33-percent increase in their monthly pensions from 2025 through 2027, while death or survivor pensioners will get a 16-percent increase.

In a July 31 statement, the SSS said this reform answers the longstanding call for higher pensions. This move is also based on the Social Security Act of 2018, empowering the policy-making Social Security Commission (SSC) to adjust pension benefits.

According to the pension fund for private-sector employees, the hike will be implemented in three tranches every September starting 2025.
