We all need a sense of security for our livelihood. After all, what do we do if something happens? So to help the working class, the government mandated the SSS, Philhealth, and PAGIBIG to support their needs.

These benefits aren’t mandatory for freelancers, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals. But then, you can still opt to pay voluntarily. And here’s how to register to SSS, PAGIBIG, and Philhealth as a Remote Worker.

 

SSS Registration

SSS Registration

Republic Act No. 8282 mandated that every private employee be protected from disability, sickness, death, and other cases where they are incapable of working anymore. This republic act established the Social Security System (SSS).

But you can also benefit from SSS even if you’re self-employed. You just have to register voluntarily.

Philhealth Registration

Health is wealth, as the old adage says. And not protecting it will definitely take a chunk of our savings. The government wants to secure the lives of the Filipinos from health hazards by Republic Act No. 7875.

It established the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Philhealth) that caters to hospitalization subsidies for their members and member’s dependents. It’s an equitable way to provide the same health benefits regardless of the salary range. It even has COVID coverage, which is not present in most health insurances out there.

And you can enjoy the benefits as well with the following steps.

As of writing, Philhealth doesn’t have an online facility for registration. You can only apply onsite.

For onsite applications, go to the nearest Philhealth Office. Check this link for their branches.

And then, fill out 2 copies of the Philhealth Member Registration Form (PMRF). Submit the form and get your Philhealth ID Card. You’re now registered!
