SSS posts P42.57B
collection in Q1 2018
THE state-run Social Security System
(SSS) said collections from its 15.4
million actively paying members
amounted to P42.57 billion in the first
three months of 2018 pushing its total
revenues for the period to P49.72
billion.

SSS President and Chief
Executive Officer Emmanuel F.
Dooc said that the total amount
collected was a result of aggressive
collection drives such as posting of
show cause orders in non-compliant
establishments, serving of warrants
of arrest together with the Philippine
National Police (PNP), and the
implementation of the Real-Time
Posting of Contributions (RTPC) as a
new form of collection system.

“There was a large volume
of paying members in the first quarter
of this year, majority of them are
voluntary members. Combined with
the implementation of the RTPC
since January 2018 which caused the
immediate posting of collections in
our system,” Dooc said.

Component-wise,
collections from the employed sector
registered the biggest amount at
P35.75 billion followed by voluntary
paying members at P4.78 billion, and
self-employed at P2.04 billion.
SSS members’ contribution collection
from January to March 2018 grew by
7.64 percent from the P39.55 billion
booked in the same period in 2017.

On the other hand,
investment and other income slipped
to P7.16 billion, a 22.50 percent drop
from the P9.23 billion recorded in
2017.

Dooc explained that SSS’
investment and other income slid in
the first quarter due to several factors
such as the the unfavorable mark-
to-market valuation and timing of
receipt of dividend income.

“The Philippine Stocks
Exchange index (PSEi) opened at
8,584 on the beginning of the first
quarter and closed at 8,039 by end-
March 2018 period. This represented
a 7.04 percent drop or 604 points,
which affected not only SSS but also
other investors. Also, SSS dividend
income from invested companies for
the period of January to March 2018
declined by 9.61 percent to P1.27
billion compared to the P1.41 billion
in the same period last year,” Dooc
explained.

He also noted that payment
for member loans was lower in the
first quarter of the year because there
was no Loan Restructuring Program
(LRP) offering during the period
offering unlike the posted income
from LRP of 2017 same period.

workers in one of the
country’s biggest fast-food
corporations held a protest
before its main commissary
and
warehouse
along
Paranaque road, June 26.

Carrying
signs,
banners and flags, the
workers of Jolibee Food
Corporation (JFC) and their
supporters were met by the
warehouse’s security guards.
This was their second protest
action after the termination
of their two contracting
agencies, Toplis Solutions
and Staff Search Agency, led
to a mass lay-off of nearly
400 workers.

Three
laid
off
workers shaved their heads
to condemn the abrupt
termination and to call for
immediate
reemployment
and regularization. One of
them was Renante Hisanan,
an inbound poller and a
“regular contractual” for
almost three years in Toplis
Solutions.
