View Philhealth Contributions and Print MDR Online

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation or most commonly called (PhilHealth) was established in 1995 as a National Health Insurance Program for both employed and unemployed sectors. For just a minimal amount paid monthly (for employed), quarterly (for voluntary) and free (for indigents and senior citizens), it is certainly a big help. It may not cover your entire hospital bill but is deducts a substantial amount from it. 

The only thing we must remember is that you have to pay in advance for you to be able to use it and having a Philhealth ID or number is not enough to be qualify for the benefits. For the employed sector, one must have 3 months contribution within the last six months before the first day of confinement. 

With this strict rules for availment, we should also be keen in checking that our hard-earned contributions are remitted and posted properly to avoid delays or problems by the time that we need it.

No scam: Easy and Convenient Investing through Sun Life

Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc. (SLAMCI) is kicking off the Year of the Fire Monkey with a new offering that will help Filipinos conveniently grow their money: the Sun Life Prosperity Card.

A first of its kind in the market, the Sun Life Prosperity Card is a gift card worth P5,000 which may be invested in any of the peso-denominated mutual funds managed by SLAMCI under its Sun Life Prosperity Funds. 

“As Filipinos, we follow many of the Chinese New Year traditions that are believed to bring in luck and fortune. SLAMCI encourages everyone to complement these traditions with action, with the help of the Sun Life Prosperity Card,” SLAMCI President Valerie “Riena” Pama said. “They can use the card to begin their investing journey or give it as a gift of prosperity. The best part about it is that it grows in value over time.”

The Sun Life Prosperity Card may be purchased from a Sun Life Financial Advisor, at any Sun Life Financial Store, or online at sunlifeprosperity.com.ph. This paves the way for an easier and more convenient route in investing in mutual fund. With this newest offer from SLAMCI, we all hope that this will encourage more Filipinos to have the habit of investing, earn passive income and ultimately achieve financial security. 

In line with this, SLAMCI’s financial literacy advocate Matteo Guidicelli will be spearheading the multi-media campaign. “I am proud to be part of this campaign because I understand the importance of investing for the future and the value of financial freedom,” Matteo said. “With the Sun Life Prosperity Card, even the youth can easily start investing, because it’s easy to purchase and can be conveniently activated.”

Apart from the Sun Life Prosperity Card, SLAMCI is also set to launch more new offerings as the year unfolds. Two new dollar-denominated funds will be introduced as the latest additions to the Sun Life Prosperity Funds, while a regular investment program will also be initiated in partner banks.

SLAMCI will also be enhancing its digital capabilities and further strengthening its presence in key cities nationwide. Meanwhile, the company will also continue with its multi-media campaign dubbed “Slam the Scam,” which was created as a response to the proliferation of investment scams in the country. With actor Matteo Guidicelli at the forefront, the campaign imparts practical tips on what to consider when choosing an investment company, as well as red flags on dubious organizations

“This 2016, SLAMCI’s aims to introduce more Filipinos to investing and encourage them to explore a wider array of financial instruments that would enable them to achieve their financial goals,” Pama said. “We look forward to touching more lives and helping them find their way to prosperity.”
