Representatives wants the same applied for Social Security System and the Home Development Mutual Fund.
In a statement on Tuesday, Alliance of Concerned Teachers Rep. France Castro said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. can also make the same move for SSS and the Pag-IBIG Fund, based on the same reason that prices of basic commodities and services are rising.“This is good but I think we can cite the same reason to also defer the premium hikes of the Social Security System and the Home Development Mutual Fund, or Pag-IBIG Fund,” Castro said.
“Inflation is still rising, with the first week of 2023 ushering in a big time oil price hike and a staggering increase in water and power rates,” she added, referring to the at least P2.80 per liter increase in gasoline and P2.00 per liter for diesel that took effect earlier.
