SSS working with ARTA to resolve red tape

THE Social Security System (SSS) is coordinating with the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) to validate data that placed the state pension fund as the top government owned or controlled corporation (GOCC) with red tape complaints.

“From our own monitoring of ARTA referrals, all complaints received during the period covered were addressed and resolved within ARTA standards as our resolution rate is at 99.3%,” SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Joseph Montes De Claro said in a statement.

“For the period covered by ARTA presentation to the Senate, SSS tracked a total of about 474,000 e-mails working diligently until they are all resolved within ARTA standards.”

This follows ARTA’s presentation of a list of most complained-about government agencies that used data from January to August 2025 presented to the Senate.

“SSS is currently coordinating with the Anti-Red Tape Authority to validate the reported data involving 244 complaints,” Mr. De Claro said.

He said complaints about service delivery made up the majority of cases, followed by issues with loan programs, then contributions.

“Loan programs complaints were about salary loan and calamity loan programs — both were enhanced this year featuring lower interest rates — mainly on difficulty as regards calamity loan applications and challenges on loan eligibility requirements and procedures. Contributions complaints were mainly about non-remittance by employers and long wait time for manual verification.”

The SSS receives complaints and feedback through its Committee on Anti-Red Tape (CART) created in June 2021 sent via hotline, corporate e-mail, postal mail, referrals from various government entities including ARTA, and through SSS Branches.

The state pension fund assured its members and stakeholders that it continues to implement reforms and digital innovations to minimize bureaucratic delays and enhance customer experience. — Aaron Michael C. Sy

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
