The state information commissioner, Muhammad Garba, said Tanko-Yakassai was relieved of his appointment for “unguarded comments and utterances.” According to PremiumTimes, the “sack is with immediate effect.” x Garba said the aide had failed to differentiate between personal opinion and official stand on matters of public concern and therefore could not be allowed to continue to serve in a government he does not believe in. “The governor also warned political appointees and public servants to guard against making statements capable of drawing superfluous controversy.”

Billing months to be covered by this system will be from March 2021 and onwards. The PRN, a system-generated number corresponding to an individual member’s loan billing statement (self-employed, voluntary, Overseas Filipino Worker) or employer, helps facilitate the immediate and correct posting of loan payments to their matching loan accounts. SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Aurora C. Ignacio said the SSS started to implement the use of PRNs for short-term member loan payments last year as part of the fund’s Real-Time Processing of Loans (RTPL) program. Transactions covered by the system include salary, calamity, emergency, and restructured loans.

Philippine House of Representatives okays bill to halt SSS rate hike

The Philippines’ House of Representatives approved legislation to suspend further increases to the Social Security System (SSS) contribution rate despite objections from the pension fund’s chief executive officer, who warned it would worsen the fund’s already “dire” financial position. House of Representatives Speaker Lord Allan Velasco, who had proposed the legislation, argued that postponing the rate hikes would provide “much-needed relief” to Filipinos coping with fallout from the coronavirus crisis. “These are extraordinary times, thus the remedy needed to further unburden our countrymen are also extraordinary,” he says in a statement on January 21 after his bill won lawmakers’ approval.
