Since its launch in Sept. 2023, the GSIS MPL Flex program has disbursed P282 billion to 1,049,246 members. An additional P7.2 billion was extended to 197,675 members under MPL Lite.
In just 16 months, MPL Flex has become a cornerstone of GSIS's financial assistance initiatives, offering government employees loans of up to 14 times their monthly base pay.
The program's impact extends beyond individual borrowers to benefit entire communities. Roland Daleon Satin, a master teacher at Mayo Crossing Elementary School in Lucena City, used his MPL Flex loan to establish a computer shop that serves local remote workers.
The robust performance of GSIS's loan programs is backed by exceptional financial performance as of the third quarter of 2024. The pension fund's total assets grew 8 percent to P1.8 trillion, while net income from operations jumped 58 percent to P120 billion.
