SSS chief resigns to run for House seat
The Philippine Star
|October 05, 2024
The head of the state-run pension fund Social Security System (SSS) has tendered his resignation to vie for a seat in the House of Representatives in the midterm polls next year.
In a letter to President Marcos, SSS president and chief executive officer Rolando Macasaet said he is tendering his irrevocable resignation effective Nov. 15.
This is in view of the temporary restraining order issued by the Supreme Court on government officials seeking to run in the elections.
Macasaet said he is filing his certificate of nomination and acceptance as nominee of the SSS-GSIS Pensyonado (SGP) party-list on Sunday.
As such, his tenure as president and CEO of SSS involuntarily ends by operation of law.
Macasaet formally assumed office as the 20th head of SSS in January 2022 position of president and general manager of another state-run pension fund, Government Service Insurance System, during the last four years of the Duterte administration.
