SSS working with ARTA to resolve red tape

THE Social Security System (SSS) is coordinating with the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) to validate data that placed the state pension fund as the top government owned or controlled corporation (GOCC) with red tape complaints.

“From our own monitoring of ARTA referrals, all complaints received during the period covered were addressed and resolved within ARTA standards as our resolution rate is at 99.3%,” SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Joseph Montes De Claro said in a statement.

“For the period covered by ARTA presentation to the Senate, SSS tracked a total of about 474,000 e-mails working diligently until they are all resolved within ARTA standards.”

This follows ARTA’s presentation of a list of most complained-about government agencies that used data from January to August 2025 presented to the Senate.

“SSS is currently coordinating with the Anti-Red Tape Authority to validate the reported data involving 244 complaints,” Mr. De Claro said.

He said complaints about service delivery made up the majority of cases, followed by issues with loan programs, then contributions.

“Loan programs complaints were about salary loan and calamity loan programs — both were enhanced this year featuring lower interest rates — mainly on difficulty as regards calamity loan applications and challenges on loan eligibility requirements and procedures. Contributions complaints were mainly about non-remittance by employers and long wait time for manual verification.”

The SSS receives complaints and feedback through its Committee on Anti-Red Tape (CART) created in June 2021 sent via hotline, corporate e-mail, postal mail, referrals from various government entities including ARTA, and through SSS Branches.

The state pension fund assured its members and stakeholders that it continues to implement reforms and digital innovations to minimize bureaucratic delays and enhance customer experience. — Aaron Michael C. Sy

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
