Marcos to Duque: Abolish 3-percent OFW premium to PhilHealth
Marcos said Duque should make good on his word in support of the measure during last week’s Senate inquiry into the state health care insurer’s fund anomalies.
The senator asserted that PhilHealth can unburden OFWs of the premium deducted from their salaries, by recovering billions lost to leakages in its funds. Eariler, President Duterte suspended the collection of the three-percent premium last May and made it voluntary after OFWs protested the increase from the previous 2.75 percent rate.
