President Rodrigo Duterte has recently signed into law a measure which seeks to provide unemployment insurance to the members of Social Security System (SSS) who were dismissed from their work. KAMI learned that President Duterte signed the Republic Act 11199 or the Social Security Act of 2019 on February 8, which was authored by Senator Richard Gordon. According to a report by Manila Bulletin, the measure is the first one in the country to provide involuntary separation benefits for two months while the members are still trying to find for new employment.

Sen. Gordon said that a member can get at least P10, 000 if the member had been paying the “contributions under the maximum salary credit.” However, according to Section 14-B of RA 11199, an involuntarily unemployed member can get the benefit which is equivalent to 50 percent of his average monthly salary credit for a maximum of two months. In a report by Esquire Magazine, the law stated that those who can avail the benefit must be below 60-years-old and a member can only get it once every three years.

Bongbong slams Leni’s ‘brazenness’

Former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., defeated candidate for vice president, hit the camp of Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Wednesday for claiming victory in his poll protest against her even as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) is yet to resolve the matter. “We are appalled once more by the brazenness of Mrs. Robredo and her Liberal Party in claiming victory in my still ongoing election protest just as the tribunal announced that no action has been taken by the court on the Caguioa report,” Marcos said in a statement. The former senator was referring to the report of Justice Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa on the recount of votes that was submitted to the tribunal for deliberation. Photo from The Manila Times Supreme Court spokesman Brian Keith Hosaka announced on Tuesday that the manual recount in 5,415 voting precincts of three test provinces was already finished. Marcos, who lost the race to Robredo in the 2016 elections, has identif...

Ito ay nang dahil sa patuloy na kaliwa’t – kanang giri – an ng Palasyo at ng Simbahan kasunod parin ng huling maanghang na pahayag ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
