MANILA, Philippines — Groups representing teachers and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) urged Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) on Thursday to suspend the hike in premium payments that starts this month. 

 

The state insurer previously announced that it is raising its premium rate to 4% by June, up from the current level of 3%, which means workers will be taking home less from their paychecks. 

 

Under the Section 10 of Republic Act 11223 or the Universal Health Care Act, the yearly increase in premium rates covers all direct contributors and will continue until 2025.
