MANILA — Malacañang on Tuesday confirmed that Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) President and General Manager Jesus Aranas has tendered his resignation.

Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea confirmed to reporters that Aranas has submitted his resignation letter.

“Yes. We just received letter of resignation a few minutes ago,” Medialdea said in a message to reporters.

Medialdea said the President has yet to receive his letter.

In his resignation letter dated July 2, 2019, Aranas did not elaborate the reasons for his resignation but noted that he is stepping down knowing that he has done his part in advancing the interest of the state-run pension fund.

“I resign, secure in the knowledge that I have unwaveringly advanced the interest of GSIS and its members in discharging the functions of the said office always in obeisance to all laws and never once compromising my integrity or that of the office I now relinquish,” Aranas said.

Reports showed that Aranas resigned due to “personal reasons”.
