Being operational in the Philippines since 1937, the Government Service Insurance System provides a wide range of benefits and services to its members. These include loan offers. With regards to the loans that members may avail, aside from the GSIS Pension Loan offer, the social insurance giant also made sure that the qualified members have something to turn to in times of natural disaster — the GSIS Calamity Loan.
The GSIS Calamity Loan offer is the one that members may turn to whenever a natural disaster has left their area of residence or workplace under a State of National Calamity. It is designed to help members recover from the impact of the calamities. Unfortunately, the Philippines is prone to natural disasters because of its geographical location.
