Palace appoints new SSS OIC
PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. has appointed Voltaire P. Agas as the next Social Security System (SSS) officer-in-charge (OIC).
Mr. Agas had served as SSS executive vice-president for Branch Operations before taking up the OIC post.
Mr. Agas was designated OIC on Oct. 17 in a memorandum signed by Executive Secretary Lucas P. Bersamin, the pension fund said in a statement on Monday.
He replaced Commissioner Robert Joseph M. de Claro, whose OIC designation was handed down by the Social Security Commission (SSC).
Mr. De Claro will remain a member of the SSC, as a representative of the Employers’ Group.
Mr. Agas was the SSS chief legal counsel from 2012 to 2022, after which he became branch operations executive vice-president.
Before the SSS, he served in the Public Attorney’s Office, the National Prosecution Service, and was a trial judge in Quezon City. — Aaron Michael C. Sy
