To enlarge to a greater degree its presence in the faraway areas of the Philippines, the Government Service Insurance System formally opened its satellite office in the town of Baler, very well known for being a world-class surfing destination, in the province of Aurora.In line with the vision of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the 16th satellite office of the GSIS in the country serves as a channel connecting GSIS and its stakeholders in Aurora. Aurora has 4,208 government employees as well as 242 pensioners. The wants of 30 government agencies within the surrounding area of Aurora will likewise be supplied by the Baler office. The GSIS transactions that will be obtainable in the Baler satellite office are composed of loans and claims processing as well as taking of requests for information that will be sent to the regional or central office. It has likewise set up for service a GSIS Wireless Automated Processing System (G-W@PS) booth in the Baler office, through which members will not need to travel a great distance to apply for loans and pensioners will not have to journey much to renew their active status as GSIS pensioners. In the past, they had to journey for 4 hours to reach the closest GSIS office in Cabanatuan. Now, they have to travel for half hour to arrive at the nearest GSIS satellite office in Baler. To reach the nearest GSIS satellite, the travel time now is shorter than in the past and the travel cost now is cheaper than in the past. This is a big aid to GSIS members ans pensioners in Aurora.
