GSIS: Total of P1.5 million in cash prizes to be raffled off among members

The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) on Thursday announced it would raffle off P1.5 million in cash prizes next week to thank its members and pensioners during the holiday season.

“A total of 300 winners will receive P5,000 each in the GSIS Touch and Win Raffle set for December 17,” GSIS president and general manager Wick Veloso said in a news release.

“It is our way of showing appreciation to our members and pensioners as we approach the holiday season while encouraging them to embrace the GSIS Touch app. By using GSIS Touch, they not only gain access to faster, more convenient services but also get the chance to win and celebrate with us,” said Veloso.

The GSIS chief said active members and pensioners who download and register through the GSIS Touch app automatically earn one raffle entry. 

Additional entries can be earned through app-based transactions such as loan applications and compliance with the Annual Pensioners Information Revalidation (APIR), according to the pension fund chief.

 For active members, each loan granted via the GSIS Touch app—Multipurpose Loan (MPL) Flex, MPL Lite, or Emergency Loan—from January 2024 to the present earns two additional entries. 

However, Veloso said members with unpaid loans overdue by more than six months are not eligible to join.

For pensioners, using the GSIS Touch’s facial recognition feature for APIR compliance earns two entries. 

Similarly, loans processed through GSIS Touch, such as the Enhanced Pension Loan and Pensioners Emergency Loan, earn an additional two (2) entries per loan.

The winners of the raffle will be selected via an audited electronic system. 

Prizes will be credited directly to the winners’ GSIS eCards, and they will be notified through their registered mobile number or email address.

Launched in 2020, the GSIS Touch mobile app has over 1.5 million users and offers a wide range of features, including access to membership and pension records, loan applications, claims tracking, and premium monitoring. 

The app also supports biometric login options for enhanced security and convenience. —NB, GMA Integrated News
