MANILA — The New Year brings good news to government workers as the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) on Wednesday revealed that it is coming up with a “no downpayment” housing program for government employees.

At the same time, GSIS president Arnulfo “Wick” Veloso also disclosed that they are eyeing another housing program for the general public, on top of their lease with the option to buy program for their foreclosed property.

“We are putting together a housing program for government employees, and this is something that will be a game changer ‘cause there’s no downpayment that we’re going to ask from them,” Veloso said in an interview on ANC’s “Market Edge” show.

He added that the GSIS had distributed close to 900 titles already “with our lease with option to buy.”

“We’re coming up also with “pabahay” in our government or GSIS properties, one is in Fairview (Quezon City) and the other one is in Cogeo (Antipolo City),” Veloso said.
