2nd PhilHealth Sabado on June 25



At Las Salle University, Dasmarinas, Cavite



     The Department of Health spearheaded the second PhilHealth Sabado which intends to enroll more informal economy workers who can afford the premium of P100/month or P1,200.00/year under the individual paying program (IPP). It was a collaborative effort among government agencies such as PhilHealth, Department of Health, Dep-ed, NAtional Anti-Poverty Commission and Basic Sector constituents, the Parents-Teachers Community Associations, the local governments, and the Dept. of Social Welfare and Development

     The leaders of ALLWIES, most of whom came from the Informal Sector Coalition of the Philippines  (the pioneering organization in the country in the advocacy of social insurance universal coverage), and NAPC Informal Sector Councils, in coordination with the National Anti-Poverty Commission mobilized its leaders nation wide not only to monitor but to bring informal sector to enrollment.
