GSIS welcomes Ricardo Blancaflor as new Board chairperson
The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) welcomed Atty. Ricardo R. Blancaflor as the new chairperson of its Board of Trustees on June 10, 2026, succeeding Rodney Del Rosario Jr.
“The GSIS looks forward to working closely with Chairperson Blancaflor as we continue to strengthen the Fund, expand benefits for our members and pensioners, and pursue innovations that improve public service,” Veloso said.
“He has the full support and cooperation of Management and the Board of Trustees as we build on the gains already achieved and take the GSIS to even greater heights.”
Blancaflor brings a strong record in government service, legal work and policy leadership, which is expected to support the Board in guiding GSIS as it strengthens its ginhawa programs and services for government workers and pensioners.
Veloso also paid tribute to Del Rosario’s leadership during his tenure as Board chairman.
“Chairman Rodney led with wisdom, professionalism and a steady hand, helping steer GSIS in fulfilling its mandate to serve millions of government workers and pensioners,” Veloso said.
“His calm demeanor, thoughtful insights and commitment to good governance have left a lasting impact on GSIS and on those who had the privilege of working with him,” he added.
The GSIS said the leadership transition comes as it continues to enhance member experience, improve operational efficiency and ensure responsive service to its stakeholders.
