NEWGSIS FORMSAND GUIDELINES

Please be informed that the use of the attached new policy and salary loan forms took effect last June 17, 2006 as stipulated in GSIS Office Order No. 4906 dated June 17,2006. Since the new salary loan form'requires a co-marker for temporary, casual and contractual loan applicants, HRDO explained to the GSIS-QC management the effects of such requirement to the UPOU employees. After the discussions,GSISand UPOU agreed on the following:

1. Due to the small number of permanent employees in UPOUwith at least 10 years on permanent status, other government employees will be allowed to be co-maker of UPOU employees as long as they meet the 10-year permanent employment requirement; 2. Payslipof the borrower and co-maker certified true copy by the Chief Accountant

or the Disbursing officer

will be attached

to the loan

application;

3. Signing as co-marker to multiple loan applications is discouragEJby GSISas this may result to the disapproval of the loan application and even possible disqualification from applying for their own loans in the future.

4. The print-out generated from the GSISwebsite (www.gsis.gov.ph) for temporary computation of loanable amount with the borrower's signature willbe honored by GSISto reduce the processing time for loans. In the absence of such print-out, it will be submitted to GSISfor temporary computation and will be returned to the borrower for confirmation. After the signature again to GSISfor filing.

Assistance for the Victims of Typhoon Milenyo

It is so distressing to hear the stories of some of our colleagues here at UPOU as to how they weathered Typhoon "Milenyo." Some lost their homes, others had to evacuate their homes due to mudflood and many others lost their properties and personal belongings. It is in moments like this that we should come together to give each other support. We appeal to all UPOU officials, faculty, and staff to help in anyway, the victims of the recent typhoon. Please turn over your donations, either cash or in kind, to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration c/o Lilian D. Diamante. Thank you and God bless you for your generosity.

In which case, the entire principal amount of this loan including all interest and other charges payable, shall be due and payable without need of demand or further notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. If upon maturity, the loan remains unpaid, the outstanding balance (principal plus interest) shall be charged an interest of 8% per annum simple and a penalty of 0.5% per month.

Conditions for Renewal In the event that the granting of an emergency loan in an area is approved before the full payment of a previous emergency loan of a member-borrower, renewal shall be allowed only if twelve (12) monthly amortizations have already been paid but not earlier than the anniversary date of the previous loan. The outstanding balance of the previous loan, including surcharges, if any, shall be deducted from the proceeds of the new loan.

11.

12.

Authority to Apply Payment In case of maturity of this loan and it remains outstanding either in whole or in part, both for principal and interest, or in case any of the amortizations become in arrears, the GSIS is authorized to collect, deduct or withhold from whatever benefits or loan proceeds that may be due the Borrower, his/her heirs, beneficiaries, assignees or successors-in-interest, the amount equivalent to the outstanding balance of this loan, inclusive of interest, penalties and surcharges. Such authorization shall remain effective until full payment of the loan or any other outstanding obligation of the Borrower to the GSIS. It is expressly understood that any unpaid balance or outstanding obligation of the Borrower to the GSIS, by virtue of this loan and/or other obligation, shall constitute a lien over any benefits/claims that may be due the Borrower. Should such benefits/claims from the GSIS be insufficient to cover the remaining balance, GSIS shall not be prevented from filing the necessary civil and administrative action(s) for recovery either against the borrower or his estate.

13.

Penalty charges Monthly repayments due but unpaid or paid partially shall be assessed a penalty charge of one-half (0.5) % for every month of delay on the unpaid repayment or portion thereof until the same is fully paid.

14.

Emergency Loan Redemption Insurance (ELRI) This loan is compulsorily covered by ELRI for which the Member will be assessed a premium equivalent to 1.2% of the loan amount to be deducted from the proceeds of the loan. If the loan is in default, the ELRI shall be deemed lapsed and the outstanding balance of the loan shall become due and demandable. Should the Borrower die or become permanently or totally disabled while this loan is still outstanding, the theoretical balance of the loan (the balance on the loan if the Borrower consistently pays on or before the due dates) after the death or disability of the Borrower shall, by virtue of the insurance coverage, be deemed paid. In case there are arrearages on the loan, the difference between the actual balance and the theoretical balance shall be deducted from whatever benefits that may be due the deceased or disabled Borrower. The insurance coverage is automatically terminated when the Borrower pays the loan in full, or renews the loan, or upon expiration of the term of the loan, whichever comes first. Events of Default The following shall be considered events of Default: 14.1 Failure of the Borrower to pay three (3) consecutive monthly installments. 14.2 Material misrepresentation in this loan application committed by the Borrower or Authorized Indorsing Official of the employer of the Borrower. 14.3 Failure of the Borrower to comply, perform or observe any other provision, term, condition under this Loan Agreement. 14.4. Dismissal from service with forfeiture of benefits

15.

16.

Consequences of Default If an Event of Default occurs and continues to occur, the GSIS may, at its option declare the entire principal amount of this Loan including all interest and other charges payable, to be due and payable without need of demand or further notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. Further, all GSIS loan privileges of the Member-Borrower shall also be suspended, except when the proceeds of the new loan shall be used to settle the arrearages thereon.

17.

Attorneys Fees Should the GSIS be compelled to refer the Loan or any portion thereof to an Attorney-at-Law for collection or to enforce any right hereunder against the Borrower or avail of any remedy under the law or this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay an amount equivalent to twenty five (25%) percent of all amounts outstanding and unpaid as and for attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees and litigation expenses.

19.

Transfer/Change of Office The Borrower shall immediately inform the GSIS of his transfer to any government office/agency, and, for the continued remittance of the borrowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly payment on the loan, this application shall be sufficient authority for GSIS to effect collection through salary deduction from his new office/agency.
