Ople said that they are in talks with Senator-elect JV Ejercito to suspend the increase in mandatory Philippine Health Insurance Corp. contributions. "Agree kami sa position niya na i-suspend muna and magpasok ng amendments kasi karamihan naman, if not all OFWs may health insurance na dun sa kanilang labor destination countries," Ople told ABS-CBN TeleRadyo’s “Good Job” on Sunday. (We agree with his position to suspend the premium hikes first and introduce amendments because most, if not all OFWs already have existing health insurance in their labor destination countries.)
