Philippine Daily Inquirer Named SSS' Best Print Media Partner

The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) has been honored as the Best Print Media Partner in Metro Manila by the Social Security System (SSS) during its 2026 Balikat ng Bayan Awards. This recognition celebrates PDI's substantial contributions to the SSS's public information campaigns, particularly in fostering understanding of the social insurance program among the populace. PDI was among seven media organizations that received accolades. Other honorees included the Laguna Courier in Luzon and Negros Now. These media outlets play a crucial role in their respective regions by delivering accurate and timely information about SSS services and policies to the citizens. The Social Security System is vital in the Philippines, serving as a safety net against future income loss for workers and their families. SSS provides a wide array of benefits, including pensions, medical assistance, and unemployment benefits, making the dissemination and proper utilization of its programs essential for national welfare. The active reporting by credible media organizations like PDI on SSS initiatives not only builds trust in the system but also encourages higher enrollment rates and the appropriate claiming of benefits. This award highlights the significant role Philippine media plays as a component of the nation's social infrastructure. Information Source: Inquirer NewsInfo
