Actors Guild signs MOA with SSS

The Actors Guild of the Philippines led by its president, Imelda Papin, has partnered with the Social Security System (SSS), through the leadership of its President Emmanuel Dooc and Chairman Dean Amado Valdez, via a Memorandum of Agreement signed recently.

Dubbed the “ArtistaSSSya” partnership, the undertaking seeks the enrollment of more actors from the movie and television industry to further ensure their welfare and interests. As qualified members of the SSS, dutifully observing premium contributions, their coverage for social security benefits becomes certain and stable, hazards of work, environment and lifestyle notwithstanding.

Corollary to this, SSS was generous enough to grant the Actors Guild with an office space at its main building in East Ave., Quezon City.

In related news, the Actors Guild is gearing up for a Medical Mission for its Senior Citizen members sometime this September as an off-shoot of its fundraising event held at the SM North Skydome last June 3.

Other projects slated are the Shootfest and Star Bazaar in December, the proceeds of which will be for the Guild’s social service programs and the creation of a livelihood cooperative to augment the income of the actors.

Last July 17, the Board Members of the Guild were formally inducted by no less than President Rodrigo Roa Duterte at MalacaƱang Palace. The Actors Guild is proud to be tapped as part of the government’s program for peace and stability.
