What would you like as a member?

Suppose you are a GSIS member and it is the anniversary of GSIS?
What would you like to get from GSIS? hmmmm. what about a cash award?

From Philhealth?  No, i dont want anything from PhilHealth.
I would rather be well and not have to use any benefit....
or maybe a free regular laboratory test?

From Pag-ibig?  maybe a cash gift also

From SSS?  maybe also a cash gift?

what do you think?  any wishes?

Kasambahay bill has been signed into law.

read it and think about its ramifications

a friend said that housing can be deducted.  No. not at all.
and medical ..... i wonder really what that entails.....

also, one must pay the SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-ibig contributions that every employer pays.
ooops. not exactly every employer, since SSS runs after non-paying employers, remember......

i was reading the PDI today.  as i am subscribed to the digital edition ...  i cannot link the page i was reading. The columnist, whose name escapes me at the moment, said that while he lauds the bill as a good start,  he was also saying that many people will no longer be having househelp.  they can no longer afford it.  So, what happens ...... to people who need work..... will they be able to find takers?

do you go to the SSS website or SSS facebook?

if you do, what do you like about it?  or what do you dislike about it

my friends and i were discussing the merits - and yes, the demerits of websites of government institutions ....

some complain about the snail-breaking speed of some of the websites
some complain about the dearth of information
some complain about confusion in navigating through the site

so what about SSS?  GSIS? PhilHealth?

HTT's 25 Jan 2013 post - On PhilHealth

HTT's post is regarding a healthy PhilHealth for .... obviously healthier Pinoys
Who can disagree with healthier Pinoys?

Part of the reason i couldnt disagree with the Repro Bill and the Sin Tax, no matter how high they pegged the Sin Tax..... was because this two (2) bills could help Pinoys have better health.

HT talks about the power of  PhilHealth to increase contributions without bothering the Senate, unlike SSS -
and believe you me that SSS needs to have contributions increased to have better pensions.  But we are not talking about SSS I cant help it though, having spent many years in the private sector ...

When i had my KT, it wasnt covered by PhilHealth in the same amount as it is now.  So swallow the increase and go for better protection.
