ASEAN social security organizations sign historic
sustainability pledge
"The ASSA Way: People, Prosperity and Planet"

Palawan — In a watershed moment for social security in Southeast Asia, leaders from ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) member institutions today signed the first-ever ASSA Sustainability Pledge, formalizing their commitment to environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and sustainable governance.

The signing ceremony, held against the backdrop of Palawan’s crystal waters, marked the culmination of the ASSA Sustainability Summit themed “The ASSA Way: People, Prosperity and Planet” hosted by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) as this year’s ASSA chair.

“Today, we move from aspiration to action,” ASSA Chairman and GSIS President and General Manager Wick Veloso said. “This pledge recognizes that social security institutions are not just financial entities but powerful catalysts for sustainable development across our region.”

The ASSA Sustainability Pledge recognizes the vital role that social security organizations play in advancing national development and safeguarding citizen wellbeing. It notes with concern the adverse effects of unsustainable practices on lives and livelihoods and affirms ASSA’s commitment to drive economic prosperity, uphold environmental stewardship, and promote social inclusion.

In the pledge, the signatory institutions committed to four key actions:

Develop inclusive social security policies that are flexible, adaptive, and responsive to the diverse and evolving needs of communities, actively contributing to ASEAN’s social and economic development.
Align carbon emissions reduction efforts with national targets, reinforcing commitment to regional cooperation and shared responsibility in combating climate change.
Advance towards carbon neutrality and promote environmentally responsible practices throughout operations, value chains, and investment portfolios.
Collaborate with fellow Member Institutions to drive innovation and foster growth in pursuit of environmental and socio-economic progress by leveraging collective expertise, resources, and networks.

ASSA Secretary General Atty. Joseph Philip Andres called the pledge “a defining moment for social security in the ASEAN region” and outlined plans for regular knowledge sharing.

Representatives from social security institutions in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Singapore, along with officials from the Social Security System, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, the Home Development Mutual Fund, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office and the Employees Compensation Commission participated in the summit and signing ceremony.

ASEAN social security leaders to unveil groundbreaking sustainability initiative in Palawan

Social security leaders from across Southeast Asia will meet in Palawan on March 20-22 for a landmark sustainability pledge signing led by the Government Service Insurance System as 2024-2025 chair of the ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA). “This gathering represents a defining moment for social security in our region,” GSIS President and ASSA Chairman Jose Arnulfo “Wick” Veloso said. “With combined assets exceeding one trillion dollars, ASEAN social security institutions have tremendous power to shape sustainable development across our economies.

High-level delegations from Brunei, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Singapore will join Philippine Social Security Association officials from the Social Security System, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, the Home Development Mutual Fund, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, the Employees Compensation Commission, and the GSIS.

Cabinet secretaries from the Departments of Environment and Natural Resources, Tourism, Finance and Foreign Affairs have been invited to participate in the historic summit.

The sustainability pledge will establish a new framework for social security in the ASEAN region, acknowledging the critical link between social protection, economic prosperity, and environmental health.

Palawan shows how economic growth and environmental stewardship can reinforce rather than oppose each other,” Veloso said. “These same principles apply to how social security systems must balance current needs and long-term sustainability.

ASSA Secretary General Joseph Philip Andres emphasized the collaborative aspect of the summit. “The gathering brings together diverse perspectives from across ASEAN to address shared challenges,” Andres said. By working together, we can achieve far more than any single institution acting alone.

About ASSA: The ASEAN Social Security Association was established in 1998 comprising social security institutions in the region. ASSA aims to promote the development of social security in member countries through information exchange, best practices’ sharing and collaborative research.

ASSA summit tackles need for portability, innovation in social security

MANILA, Philippines – Southeast Asia’s social security leaders are urged to formulate a regional framework that would integrate systems, allowing people to move from one country to another with their social security benefits intact.

Speaking at the Philippine-hosted 41st ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) Conference, Board, and Secretariat Meetings on Monday, Malaysia’s social security agency PERKESO Deputy Chief Executive Officer Edmund Cheong Peck Huang said the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) should “lead the world in social protection that transcends borders”.

“We live in a world that is more connected than ever, and with Southeast Asia becoming increasingly mobile, millions of our workers are crossing borders to pursue better opportunities,” he said.

“As they move, they deserve to know that their social security benefits move with them— it’s time we seriously consider in ASSA the portability of social security benefits,” he added.

Delivering his presentation titled Navigating the Future of Social Security, he emphasized the need for social security institutions to future-proof their systems— one that is resilient and capable of absorbing shocks.

“Our world is changing fast. From economic disruptions, health crisis to climate shocks, the question is not if we face these challenges again, but when,” he said.

“Our social security systems must be resilient and adaptable, capable of absorbing shocks and empowering recovery,” he added.

The ASEAN Declaration on Portability of Social Security Benefits for Migrant Workers in ASEAN was adopted in November 2022 at the 40th and 41st ASEAN Summits in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

It is the ability of social security benefits to be transferred to and accessed by the migrant workers upon return to their home countries, ensuring that monetary contributions they and their employers paid will not be lost nor forfeited.

Meanwhile, he commended various digital innovations and inclusive social protection initiatives in the region, including the Philippines’ AlkanSSSya program for the self-employed; Malaysia’s mobile applications that offer on-demand benefits; Indonesia’s digital payment solutions; and Singapore’s digital ID system.

At the end of the summit, the ASSA is hoping to come up with a “sustainability pledge” to reflect the group’s collective resolve to address evolving challenges in the region, including climate change, rapidly aging population, and high informal sectors.

“With the strong leadership demonstrated today by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), I’m optimistic that ASSA will continue to drive transformative change benefiting both current and future generations, that is, move forward with renewed determination to build a more secure, inclusive, and resilient future,” said former ASSA Chairperson Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn in a separate press conference.

Meanwhile, National Health Security Office Intelligent Data Innovation Division data engineer Paweena Sremuang said data security is one of the challenges Thailand encounters in its big data management for universal healthcare services.

Sremuang disclosed that they are challenged by hackers just like any other country or companies that have all their clients’ information stored in online platforms or the cloud.

“But we also have the team to deal with the hacking 24 hours a day seven days a week, whole year round,” she said, apart from encrypting data in their systems.

Despite having the platform and system for data integration, there are still instances when data are not fully-integrated with relevant agencies and these data are under-utilized.

To ensure that no citizen is left behind for quality healthcare services, Sremuang said their national statistics department continues to collect data from residents in far-flung areas lacking internet connectivity.

“They collect data from birth to death by using a national ID card. So the local government will do the duty of correcting the data and register by hand if it is too remote but all in all, at the end, everything will be registered in the ID card and you can get the data if you want to,” she added.

The three-day conference at the Seda Manila Bay Hotel in Parañaque City features panel discussions, interactive sessions, and keynote messages from leading experts and ASEAN leaders.

The outcomes and recommendations from this event will contribute to the broader ASEAN agenda and generate actionable insights and strategies that will strengthen cooperation and drive forward the enhancement of social protection networks across the region.

It was attended by members of the Philippine Social Security Association, composed of the GSIS, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Social Security System, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, Home Development Mutual Fund and Employees’ Compensation Commission.

ASSA comprises of social security institutions from ASEAN member states.

ASEAN social security institutions recognized for service excellence

MANILA, Philippines — Nineteen social security institutions across the ASEAN region on Tuesday received recognition at the ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) Recognition Awards 2024 for their innovations in service delivery and best practices.

The awards, presented during the 41st ASSA Meetings at the Seda Manila Bay Hotel, acknowledged excellence across seven categories: continuous improvement, customer service, information technology, innovation, insurance coverage, investment governance, and transformation.

Philippine institutions were recognized in several categories:

Government Service Insurance System (GSIS): Innovation Award for its Ginhawa for All Lease with Option to Buy Housing Program
Social Security System (SSS): Innovation Award for its e-Wheels Program
Employees’ Compensation Commission: Continuous Improvement Award for its Return-to-Work Assistance Program
Philippine Health Insurance Corporation: Continuous Improvement Award for Benefits Development Planning Protocol
Home Development Mutual Fund: Customer Service Award for Elevating the Customer Service Experience

Malaysia’s institutions earned three awards, while Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia each received two.

Brunei, Laos, Singapore, Myanmar and Vietnam were also recognized for their achievements in advancing social security systems.

One of the awardees is SSS’ e-Wheels, a program that includes mobile offices equipped with facilities to reach people in remote areas or places with no access to internet and technology.

“Mostly, these are the last mile communities. They have challenges about online facilities, about going to SSS,” SSS executive vice president Elvira Alcantara Resare said.

“Usually, they are the household helpers, tricycle drivers, usually those from the informal sector,” she added.

From January to September, the SSS has conducted 9,613 e-Wheels activities nationwide, accommodating over 989,000 transactions.

Resare said the sharing of best practices in social security among institutions during the meetings would benefit the SSS in improving their services.

“One of the challenges is ageing. Many people live long, so the challenge is contributions because bigger, more benefits must be provided,” she said.

Also cited was Brunei’s Employee Trust Fund’s (ETF) National Retirement Scheme.

The measure implemented a feature allowing members to nominate an administrator, who would manage and distribute their savings to the next of kin in the event of their passing.

“Usually what happens is when a member passes away, the family members [have] to find out who is the administrator. So, this can lead to difficult and lengthy procedures,” ETF Senior External Strategist Nur Shahreena Abdullah said.

“With this new feature, it actually allows the member to decide early,” she added.

Abdullah said Brunei, which will host the next ASSA meetings in 2025, is heading toward digitalization and keen to learning more best practices from its peers in the region.

“The discussions in this year’s meetings revolved around transformation, integration on IT, so it’s quite insightful to see all the ASSA members sharing their best practices on data information, artificial intelligence, and analytics— these are quite useful to Brunei,” Abdullah said.

The awards ceremony was part of the 41st ASSA Meetings, hosted by the Philippine Social Security Association through the GSIS and SSS.

During the event, GSIS President and General Manager Jose Arnulfo Veloso assumed the ASSA Chairpersonship.

“These recognitions reflect the collective commitment across ASEAN to strengthen social security systems,” said Veloso.

“Each institution brings unique innovations that contribute to our shared goal of better serving our respective communities.”

ASSA is a non-government organization that fosters collaboration among social security institutions in ASEAN member states. It was established to promote the development of social security systems that address the needs of diverse populations while aligning with national laws and regulations.

ASEAN social security group names GSIS President as Chair

MANILA — The ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) elected Government Service Insurance System President and General Manager Jose Arnulfo Veloso as its chairperson Tuesday.

Veloso will lead the organization’s efforts to integrate social security systems and improve service delivery across Southeast Asian nations.

“We gather at a pivotal moment when the nature of work, society and human connection is being reshaped by forces beyond our borders,” Veloso said. “Our mission to protect and empower the workers and families of ASEAN has never been more critical.”

The leadership transition took place during the 41st ASSA Meetings at Seda Manila Bay Hotel in Parañaque City, with more than 100 delegates attending.

Veloso succeeds Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn, CEO of Malaysia’s Employees Provident Fund, for the 2024-25 term. Haji Md Adfarul/Haji Maz Adanan of Brunei’s Employees Trust Fund is the new vice chairperson.

GSIS Senior Vice President Joseph Philip Andres will serve as secretary general, replacing Balqais Yusoff.

ASSA, a nongovernmental organization, promotes collaboration among social security institutions in ASEAN member states. Its members include institutions from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

During the meeting, 19 member institutions received recognition for best practices.

Philippine agencies earned five awards:

· GSIS: Innovation Recognition Award for its Ginhawa for All housing program (Lease with Option to Buy);

· Social Security System: Innovation Recognition Award for its e-Wheels Program;

· Employees’ Compensation Commission: Continuous Improvement Recognition Award for its Return-to-Work program;

· Philippine Health Insurance Corporation: Continuous Improvement Recognition Award for Benefits Development Planning Protocol; and

· Home Development Mutual Fund: Customer Service Recognition Award for enhancing customer service experience.

1.3-T collective assets of ASSA members shape global
capital markets – GSIS chief

MANILA, Philippines – Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) President and General Manager Jose Arnulfo “Wick” Veloso on Monday said the USD1.3 trillion collective assets of the ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) members significantly shapes global capital markets.

At a press briefing after the opening of the 41st ASSA Conference and Board Meetings, Veloso emphasized that the economic vitality across ASEAN provides ASSA a strong foundation to enhance social security systems.

“The 1.3 trillion US dollars in collective assets under our management represents more than just financial strength. It positions us members as significant players in global capital markets and demonstrates our capacity to influence economic trends,” said Veloso, who also sits as ASSA vice chairperson.

He acknowledged the “tremendous responsibility” in securing these funds considering the rapid transformation of economies which can either bring more opportunities or challenges especially in digital economy.

“The rise of the digital economy, evolving employment patterns, and emerging social needs of our diverse populations demand our immediate attention. This is why our conference theme, ‘Navigating the Future of Social Security: Integration, Innovation, and Inclusion’ is particularly relevant,” Veloso said.

This economic vitality provides a strong foundation for enhancing social security systems across the region.

ASSA Chairperson Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn said the series of meetings would help the body to determine where these investible funds are best deployed.

“Capital is best deployed when there is great knowledge about the needs of those that require capital and there is great knowledge surrounding how to manage the risks of investments as well,” Onn said.

ASSA, in its 26 years of existence, was founded in 1998 by seven institutions including the GSIS. The Philippines is set to take over the ASSA chairmanship this year.

Onn is confident that under Veloso, ASSA will continue to strengthen collaboration and sharing of knowledge to create stronger social security systems in the ASEAN region.

“And it is that spirit of partnership that defines us all and it gives me great confidence we have built very strong foundations over the past 26 years. I’m confident as we transition the chairmanship from Malaysia to the Philippines under the leadership of Vice Chairman Veloso, those foundations will continue to be strengthened for a very long time,” he said.

ASEAN chart future of social security at Manila Summit

MANILA, Philippines — Social security leaders from 10 Southeast Asian nations convened Monday for the 41st ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) Conference, highlighting their growing influence in global capital markets and commitment to enhanced social protection.

Philippine Treasurer Sharon Almanza opened the two-day summit at Seda Manila Bay Hotel on behalf of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and Department of Finance Secretary Ralph Recto.

In the speech delivered by Almanza, President Marcos reaffirmed the Philippine governments’ commitment to a collective mission to build social security systems that meet the demands of today and reinforce the aspirations of the next generations.

“Our framework for progress rests on three vital pillars: integration, innovation, and inclusion. These principles must guide our decisions as we work to enhance social protection across Southeast Asia,” said President Marcos.

Almanza was joined by ASSA Chairperson Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn of Malaysia and incoming chairperson and GSIS President and General Manager Jose Arnulfo Veloso of the Philippines, as well as the members of the Philippine Social Security Association.

The gathering comes as ASEAN demonstrates remarkable economic resilience, with the Philippines projected to maintain its position as the region’s fastest-growing economy, expecting GDP growth of 5.8 to 6.3 percent in 2024. This economic vitality provides a strong foundation for enhancing social security systems across the region.

“The USD 1.3 trillion in collective assets under our management represents more than just financial strength – it positions ASSA members as significant players in global capital markets and demonstrates our capacity to influence economic trends,” Veloso said.

“More importantly, it reflects the tremendous responsibility we hold as stewards of our citizens’ social security funds,” he added.

The conference features 10 expert-led sessions addressing critical developments in social security administration, including sustainability strategies for civil pension systems, universal healthcare coverage through data analytics, technology-driven service delivery improvements, platform workers’ social protection, and voluntary healthcare schemes for self-employed workers.

The Philippines assumes ASSA chairmanship on Nov. 26, with Brunei Darussalam taking the vice chairmanship. The handover ceremony will recognize member institutions that have achieved significant reforms in social protection delivery, showcasing innovative solutions that put members and clients at the heart of service delivery.

“The Philippines’ vision of ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ resonates deeply with ASSA’s objectives of building more inclusive, innovative, and integrated social security systems,” Veloso added.

The initiative aligns with ASSA’s commitment to strengthening social protection frameworks across the region.

Onn said that among the ASEAN member states, only 46 percent of the population is covered by at least one social protection benefit, lower than the global average of 52 percent.

Equally concerning, he said, is that social protection expenditure in the region stands at just five percent of the GDP, lagging “far below global average”.

“These statistics highlight the urgent need to strengthen our social protection systems and expand coverage to ensure that no one is left behind,” Onn said.

Countries, he said, must address key challenges impacting the sustainability and effectiveness of social security systems in the ASEAN by tapping innovative approaches and strengthening regional cooperation.

“By deepening regional cooperation and integration, we can create a more robust and cohesive social security system across ASEAN,” he added.

ASSA, established as a regional cooperation platform for social security institutions, represents Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Member institutions collectively serve hundreds of millions of ASEAN citizens through comprehensive social protection programs.

The Philippine Social Security Association hosts this year’s conference, with organizational support from the GSIS and the Social Security System, marking the Philippines’ first hosting of the event in eight years.

Philippines to host 41st ASEAN Social Security Association Meetings

Manila (October 28, 2024) Strengthening social protection systems, expanding coverage to workers, and building more sustainable institutions take center stage as the Philippines hosts the 41st ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) Meetings from November 25 to 27, 2024, the Government Service Insurance System said. The 41st ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) Meetings will convene industry leaders and representatives from social security institutions across ASEAN member states to advance the region’s commitment to a more comprehensive and inclusive social protection framework. The meeting agenda focuses on the mega trends faced by the industry, the empowering role of technology, and the implementation of comprehensive approaches to social security within the ASEAN region. GSIS President and General Manager and Vice Chairman of ASSA Jose Arnulfo Veloso emphasized the importance of the upcoming meeting, stating, “As the ASEAN continues to grow as a vital region for economic progress, it is our privilege to host this significant conference alongside SSS and PhilSSA members. This event represents a unique opportunity to showcase our leadership in shaping regional social security policies and provides a platform for meaningful exchanges among ASEAN nations — an essential step towards building a future wherein the social security system across the region is inclusive and equipped to protect every worker.” He added, “Manila offers a vibrant setting that combines rich culture and warm hospitality, ideal for fostering dialogue and sharing best practices among the delegates. As we prepare to welcome our esteemed delegates, let us all work together to leave a lasting impact and make this event an inspiring success.” Preparations are underway to accommodate the expected influx of international delegates, with local authorities and event organizers working in close partnership to ensure the success of the event. The meeting is expected to bolster the Philippines’s role as a key player in regional collaboration, enhancing the integration and effectiveness of social security systems across Southeast Asia. The 41st ASSA Meetings will feature panel discussions, interactive sessions and keynote messages from leading experts and ASEAN leaders. The outcomes and recommendations from this event will contribute to the broader ASEAN agenda and generate actionable insights and strategies that will strengthen cooperation and drive forward the enhancement of social protection networks across the region. The Philippine Social Security Association (PhilSSA) is composed of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund) and Employees’ Compensation Commission (ECC).
