i am reliably informed that individuals in the informal sector who have not yet worked in a formal setting may be able to pay contributions by joining or forming, as the documentation puts it, an "aggrupation".
Individuals who hang shingles can apply because they normally have licenses, and are clearly members of an association. For example: physicians, lawyers, nurses, therapists, ....., and accountants
these individuals may request their association to assist them with this -
Simply put, an aggrupation is a group, or an association. So in this case, SSS is effectively saying, join a group and let the group have a Memorandum of Agreement with SSS. This group will then be issued a number - and act like an employer, without being one. The group can thus accommodate other individuals for as long as they are known to be self-employed by their regular members.
if you really want to contribute, i suggest, at least for now, that you band together with friends and proceed with this. go to the nearest sss office and ask for details. they will be happy to help you.
perhaps sss can simplify this further

i have a very simple suggestion... why not just allow anyone to become self-employed?
perhaps like in the USA, everyone and anyone with proof he is who he says he is can be issued one and be allowed to contribute
not totally foolproof, but hey, with biometrics and other startrek gadgetry .... fraud can be minimized
is that too simple? everyone deserves to have a pension, so why make it hard?
there are individuals who may have not have formally studied in a school; they have studied in a much harder school - the school of experience - informal apprenticeship - with kith or kin - with friends and relatives, or worst, in an environment of almost child slavery.
they are still attempting to eke out a fair living, by doing service for many people - it would be nice if they would be allowed to contribute...
just a thought.
