Members and pensioners of the Government Service Insurance System
(GSIS) may soon apply for loans, check their records, or even update their
accounts while shopping or strolling in SM Supermalls, the country's leader in
the retail industry.
This was made possible after GSIS President and General Manager Robert Vergara signed an agreement with SM Supermalls President Annie Garcia.
Under the agreement, the GSIS Wireless Automated Processing System (GWAPS) kiosks will be deployed at SM Supermalls' Government Services Center at SM Manila, SM Cebu, SM Pampanga, SM North EDSA, and SM Aura.

SM's Government Services Center also houses the satellite
operations of other public offices, such as PhilHealth, Social Security System,
Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund), Philippine Postal Corporation,
Philippine Statistics Authority (formerly National Statistics Office), and
Professional Regulation Commission.
"By bringing the most popular GSIS service facility to the nation's favorite hangout - the malls - we are providing our nearly 1.9 million members and pensioners the easiest and most convenient way to access GSIS services," Vergara said.
Through the GWAPS kiosks, members and pensioners may apply online for various GSIS loan windows, such as the consolidated loan, policy loan, emergency loan, and pension loan. They may also view their GSIS records as well as activate their e-cards.
The GWAPS kiosk resembles an automated teller machine (ATM) that has a touch screen monitor. It makes use of a combination of such technologies as radio frequency identification, biometrics, and virtual private network to come up with a secure system that can process transactions remotely in a paperless manner. At present, nearly a thousand kiosks are deployed nationwide. For specific locations of GWAPS kiosks, members and pensioners may call the GSIS Contact Center at 847-4747 or visit the GSIS website www.gsis.gov.ph. (GSIS)
