6-M seniors soon to have lifetime health insurance
More than six million elderly in the country will soon become lifetime members of Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).
This was announced by PhilHealth President and CEO Alexander A. Padilla during forum held recently on social protection programs for the elderly, an Elderly Filipino Week activity organized by PhilHealth and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
The elderly beneficiaries of Philhealth’s Lifetime Member Program (LMP) will be provided coverage for life without paying the premium anymore.
“Our LMP is open to those who have made 120 monthly contributions to the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP), and have reached the age of retirement,” Padilla said, clarifying however, that those who are still gainfully employed even at age of retirement are not yet eligible under the LMP.
DSWD is supporting Senate Bill No. 712, a measure that would authorize the PhilHealth to cover all senior citizens in the country.
The Bill was approved on third and final reading in the Senate.
During the forum, DSWD, PhilHealth, Social Security System (SSS), and Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) signed a manifest for the promotion of adequate social services and protection for elderly Filipinos.
The Elderly Filipino Week is celebrated annually from October 1 to 7 pursuant to Proclamation No. 470.
This year’s theme is “Ang Nakatatanda ay Yaman, Katuwang sa Pag-unlad ng Bayan, Pangalagaan Kanilang Kapakanan.” (DSWD)

PNoy ngadto sa LGUs:
undanga na ang ‘KBL’
MANILA, Oct. 03 (PIA)–Gi-awhag ni Presidente Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III ang mga lokal nga opisyal partikular ang mga miyembro sa Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) nga undangon na ang naandan nga paghatag og tabang sa giingong “KBL” o kasal, bunyag ug lubong.
Gihimo ni PNoy ang maong pahayag atol sa pagpanumpa sa mga opisyal sa ULAP nga gilangkoban sa mga gobernador ug mga mayor sa lalawigan.
Matud pa ni PNoy nga panahon na aron itutok ang pondo sa gobyerno sa mga mahinungdanong proyekto nga mas mapahimoslan sa katawhan.
Dugang pa ni PNoy nga imbes manghatag og mga dinaliang tabang sama sa amot o barangay hall, ipahimo o ipatukod na lamang kini og irigasyon, kalsada ug mga lawak-tunghaan.
Apan giangkon usab sa Presidente nga dili kini sayon himuon tungod kay naandan naman apan angay sugdan na ang pagpatul-id sa sistema.
Gitumbok ni PNoy nga mas maayo nga hatagan og pagtagad ang mga proyektong manganak og benepisyo sama sa edukasyon ug panginabuhian. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)
