SSS to offer emergency loan in Dec.

PHILIPPINE President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. said state-run Social Security System (SSS) members will gain access to a loan facility designed to provide quick, low-cost relief during periods of national emergency, starting this December.

In a video message released on Thursday, Mr. Marcos said that the SSS will offer emergency loans with a 7% interest rate, accompanied by a six-month moratorium on repayments to ease the immediate financial burden on borrowers. 

Loan amortization will not be required during the first half-year after release.

The country is under a one-year state of national calamity following successive storms, including a super typhoon, that battered the climate-vulnerable nation.

“Starting this December, the SSS will be able to provide what is called an emergency loan,” Mr. Marcos said in Filipino.

“You can use this loan for your needs, especially, as I mentioned, during emergencies; this is what you can access from the SSS.”

The President added he is continuing to work with the SSS to explore additional options for safer and more equitable microloans and emergency loan programs for Filipinos. — Chloe Mari A. Hufana

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government.

He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities.
