Health: The Net and Premiums

I’m immersed in my research. Talk about Filipino migrants, social media and health information. What do they have to do with each other?

Well, it should be a good research since not many studies about Filipino migrants are conducted. Considering that PhilHealth has recently issued a memorandum mandating a 100% increase in OFWs’ annual premium payments on health indemnities, communicating to Filipino migrants about health should be encouraged. Prevention is better than cure, as they say. And so, awareness is a means of prevention. Though the government offers adequate (?) and affordable (?) social health insurance coverage, isn’t it more sensible if we consciously and religiously take care of our own health?

So, save a dime. Save your life. Get online.

Maximize your time. Learn more about health issues using social media.

Facebook shouldn’t be just about Farmville or Mafia Wars.

Youtube shouldn’t just be about music videos.

Twitter shouldn’t just be about quotable quotes.

Oops, for your information, (we) OFWs will be compelled to…

Pay only Php 1,200.00 for the (annual or yearly but take note: it’s not monthly!) contribution if we do it anytime from January – June 2012. So, if you’re going for a two-year contract and you want to pay, like on, February 29 because it’s a leap year, you’ll have to shell out Php 2,400.00. Thereafter, Php 2,400.00 annual contribution will take effect on 01 July 2012. And so if you have a two-year commitment abroad…would you be so kind to do the math then? Thank you.
