Happy National Teachers’ Day!

Malasakit@Bayanihan Party-List is one with the nation in celebrating National Teachers’ Day and in honoring the educators whose dedication, patience, and service continue to shape generations of Filipinos.

Teachers do more than impart knowledge. They awaken curiosity, build confidence, shape character, and help young people discover what they are capable of becoming. Behind many students who learn to believe in themselves is a teacher who believed in them first.

To all our teachers, thank you for the wisdom you share, the sacrifices you make, and the countless lives you continue to shape. Your work helps build not only better students, but a stronger and more hopeful nation.

👩‍👧‍👦 EMPLOYED SOLO PARENTS, MAAARING HINDI NA MAGBAYAD NG EMPLOYEE SHARE SA PHILHEALTH

May mahalagang bagong benepisyo para sa mga kwalipikadong solo parent na nagtatrabaho sa government o private sector.

Sa ilalim ng PhilHealth Circular No. 2026-0015, simula Oktubre 2026, ang employee o personal share ng PhilHealth premium ng qualified employed solo parent ay sasagutin na ng National Government. Mananatili namang sagot ng employer ang employer share.

⚠️ PERO HINDI ITO AUTOMATIC.

Hindi sapat na employed at may Solo Parent ID lamang. Kailangang may valid Solo Parent Identification Card o S**C at ma-update muna ang PhilHealth membership record upang ma-tag bilang “Indirect Contributor – Solo Parent.”

Hangga’t hindi pa naa-update ang PhilHealth record at nakarehistro pa bilang Direct Contributor, kailangan pa ring bayaran ang employee share.

📌 ANO ANG DAPAT GAWIN?

Ang employed solo parent ay kailangang:

🔹 Mag-accomplish ng PhilHealth Member Registration Form o PMRF

🔹 Maglakip ng kopya ng harap at likod ng valid S**C

🔹 Isumite ang mga dokumento sa Human Resources Department, na gagawa ng kinakailangang employer certification at magpapasa ng mga dokumento sa PhilHealth

Kung hindi maiproseso sa pamamagitan ng employer, maaari ring isumite ng employed solo parent ang kinakailangang dokumento direkta sa pinakamalapit na PhilHealth office o sa PhilHealth Member Portal, alinsunod sa umiiral na guidelines.

Kapag na-update na ang membership record, hindi na kokolektahin mula sa qualified employed solo parent ang bahagi ng premium na sasagutin ng National Government. Ang employer share naman ay patuloy na obligasyon ng employer.

📅 PANATILIHING VALID ANG SOLO PARENT ID

Mahalagang panatilihing valid ang S**C at ma-update ang PhilHealth record kapag ito ay na-renew. Kapag nag-expire ang S**C at hindi na-update ang record, maaaring mawala ang solo parent classification at muling magkaroon ng obligasyong magbayad ng applicable premium contribution.

Mahalagang linawin na hindi nawawala ang PhilHealth premium. Para sa qualified employed solo parents, ang dating employee share ang sasagutin ng National Government, habang nananatiling sagot ng employer ang employer share.

Ang benepisyong ito ay bahagi ng pagpapatupad ng Republic Act No. 11861 o Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act, na nagpalawak ng social protection para sa solo parents at kanilang mga pamilya.

Kung ikaw ay employed solo parent, siguraduhing valid ang iyong S**C at ipa-update ang iyong PhilHealth record upang magamit ang benepisyong ito.

CONGRESSWOMAN VELOSO JOINS LEGISHEAR IN NEGROS OCCIDENTAL AS HOUSE BRINGS LAWMAKING CLOSER TO COMMUNITIES

VICTORIAS CITY, Negros Occidental — Malasakit@Bayanihan Party-list Congresswoman Girlie E. Veloso joined fellow lawmakers and stakeholders Friday, October 2, for the Negros Occidental leg of LegisHear: Bawat Batas Mahalaga, the House of Representatives’ nationwide legislative consultation and public engagement initiative.

The two-day LegisHear activity is being hosted in Victorias City, marking the program’s first stop in Negros Occidental. The town hall at the Victorias City Coliseum gives residents and sectoral representatives an opportunity to directly raise concerns and discuss issues affecting their communities, including sugar, employment, health and education.

Congresswoman Veloso joined the activity as the House continued taking legislative consultations outside Metro Manila and into communities across the country.

LegisHear was launched by the House under Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III as a nationwide initiative combining public consultations, policy dialogues, legislative oversight and government service delivery. The program is intended to gather citizen input on proposed legislation, examine the implementation of existing laws and government programs, and bring the experiences of communities directly into the legislative process.

For Congresswoman Veloso, participation in the Negros Occidental consultation also provides an opportunity to hear firsthand the concerns of communities on health, social services and other issues that form part of her legislative work as representative of Malasakit@Bayanihan.

The Negros Occidental leg continues on October 3, with focus group discussions and frontline services from participating national government agencies scheduled as part of the program.

This Pink October, the theme “Every story is unique, every journey matters” reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a life that matters. And every life deserves every possible chance to be saved.

Breast cancer outcomes improve when the disease is detected early, diagnosis comes without delay, and patients are able to receive the treatment and care they need. That is why awareness matters. It helps women recognize changes in their bodies, seek medical advice promptly, and access appropriate screening and care.

As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Malasakit@Bayanihan joins the call to turn awareness into action and strengthen access to early detection, timely diagnosis, treatment, and support for every woman who needs them.

Because when breast cancer is found earlier and treated in time, more lives can be saved.

VELOSO, MACEDA JOINTLY FILE HOUSE RESOLUTION FOR STRONGER BREAST CANCER CARE, FINANCIAL PROTECTION

In time for the observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, Congresswoman Girlie E. Veloso of Malasakit@Bayanihan Party-List, Vice Chairperson of the House Committee on Health, personally filed House Resolution No. 1484 on September 30, jointly with Manila 4th District Representative Giselle Mary L. Maceda, Chairperson of the House Committee on Health.

The resolution urges a whole-of-government and multisectoral approach to strengthen breast cancer awareness, early detection and screening, patient navigation, and access to comprehensive care and financial protection. It seeks to ensure that awareness leads to timely action, from early detection and diagnosis to treatment and follow-up, prevention of recurrence, metastasis, and secondary cancer, and rehabilitation, supportive care, and survivorship services.

The measure also calls for a review of the Department of Health’s interim guidelines on breast cancer early detection, stronger referral and patient-navigation systems, and an assessment by PhilHealth of the adequacy of existing breast cancer benefits, with further expansion or enhancement where warranted. It likewise seeks stronger coordination of available medical and financial assistance, including through Malasakit Centers.

Through the resolution, Veloso and Maceda seek to use Breast Cancer Awareness Month not only to raise awareness, but to strengthen the systems that help patients move from detection to timely treatment, continuing care, and financial protection.
