PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte named the new president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the state-run Social Security System (SSS).

Aurora Ignacio replaced Emmanuel Dooc who resigned in March, following the effectivity of Republic Act 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2018 that sought to expand the powers of the SSS to ensure its long-term viability, as well as empower it to increase benefits and provide mandatory SSS coverage for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), among others.
