Marcos: SSS members may avail emergency loan beginning December 2025

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Thursday announced that qualified members of the Social Security Systems could avail emergency loan starting this December, with six months moratorium. 

This as the country was placed under state of national calamity after the Philippines was hit by destructive typhoons. 

“Simula itong Disyembre na ito ay makakapagbigay na ang SSS ng tinatawag na emergency loan dahil habang nasa ilalim, halimbawa, ng national emergency ay magbibigay ng emergency loan ang SSS,” Marcos said in a video message.

“Ito ay isang pautang na ang bayad, 7% lang,” he added.

Marcos said a six-month moratorium on the loan amortization would be observed. 

''Ibig sabihin pagtanggap ninyo ng loan galing sa SSS, sa anim na buwan – sa unang anim na buwan hindi kayo kailangan magbayad para sa loan amortization para naman mapagaan ang inyong dala,'' he said. 

In November, Marcos declared a one-year state of national calamity due to Typhoon Tino, which battered the Visayas island, upon the recommendation of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council . 

Proclamation No. 1077 has ordered all government agencies to carry out continuous, urgent response and critical recovery measures for disaster-stricken areas. —AOL, GMA Integrated News
