The SSS and PhilHealth premium hikes are part of the government\u2019s anti-worker and anti-people schemes of extorting our hard-earned money for their corrupt and greedy fetishes,\u201d KMU Secretary-General Rogelio Soluta said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Malaca\u00f1ang officials earlier argued that the increases in SSS and PhilHealth contributions would result in more meaningful benefits for members.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cHow could the SSS dry up its funds when they can dish out millions of its members\u2019 money just for the bonuses of its board members? It is enraging how the Aquino administration uses the lack of funds as an excuse for the premium hike when it was the administration that also defended the million bonuses,\u201d Soluta said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Starting this month, the SSS is raising its monthly premium rate from 10.4 percent to 11 percent of a member\u2019s monthly salary.<\/p>\n\n<p>PhilHealth is also increasing its annual premium rate to P2,400 for individually paying members with a monthly income of P25,000 and below, and P3,600 for those with an income of P25,000 and above.<\/p>\n\n<p>The KMU vowed to launch a series of protests against the premium hikes of the two agencies until the government decides to completely abandon them.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAside from the TRO, we vow to continue protesting against the SSS premium hike. We call on all SSS members, especially our fellow workers, to oppose this burdensome scheme until it is completely junked,\u201d Soluta said.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Related stories<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
