00:06and to discuss the possible implementation of the Contribution Subsidy Program.

00:18SSS President Robert Joseph called on the lawmakers to have an agreement with them
00:24to help the workers in the middle of the increase in the SSS contribution.
00:30According to the declaration, they will be able to discuss with the lawmakers
00:33on how to solve and not wait for the SSS members to raise 1% of their salary for their contribution.
00:43This is another way of the Contribution Subsidy Program
00:46that will be open to all private individuals.
00:49Instead of suspending the increase, this can be an option and can help the members of the SSS.
00:59To our lawmakers who want to help the SSS,
01:04instead of suspending this increase,
01:08why don't we sit down and discuss how you can help our workers
01:13by entering into an agreement with the SSS on the Contribution Subsidy Program.
01:20Meanwhile, Palacio is convinced that a good discussion will implement the increase in the contribution
01:26under the R.A. 11199 declared by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
01:32Such increases are based on something,
01:35so it is difficult for the other side to tell him not to increase.
01:40According to Bersamin, it is better to let the management or the leadership of the SSS
01:45decide on the implementation of the increase in the contribution in the payment.
01:49Bersamin added that if they allow the SSS to enter into an agreement
01:54and have the ability to implement the agreement,
01:57the additional contribution will not be effective.
02:03That is why it is better for Bersamin to allow the process to proceed
02:08and wait for the results from the projection of the agency.
02:12They have been discussing this for a long time.
02:14They announced it long before that call was made.
02:17And in fact, these benefits are being expanded now.
02:21So why don't we just let that process continue?
02:26According to the SSS, this is the last increase in the contribution
02:31and the 1% increase will be completed in 2025
02:36with the 15% increase that started in 2019.
