Now they’re stealing our PhilHealth contributions
Now they’re stealing our PhilHealth contributions

GOTCHA
All 119 million of us Filipinos are PhilHealth members. Private, government, the self-employed and uniformed servicemen are payer-beneficiaries. Seniors, PWDs, indigents and our dependents are free.
In January 2024 PhilHealth increased our contributions to five percent of monthly income – the third time in three years. We couldn’t complain because PhilHealth automatically deducts from our pay.
Those of us earning less than P10,000 began to shell out P500 a month, or P6,000 a year. Those making P10,000 to P100,000, P501 to P5,000 a month, or up to P60,000 a year.
