  • NCR-Central Gets Its Act Together on 'Blockbuster Days'
Who says you can’t do anything in a stressful situation? If you happen to pass by Estuar Building along Quezon Avenue and see people queuing in its perimeter, do not be surprised. This is a familiar scenario at the Local Health Insurance Office – Quezon City (LHIO-QC) housed at the NCR Central Branch Office during deadlines.
The deadline of premium payment for the Employed Sector is every 10th day of the following month after the applicable month. On the other hand, the deadline for Individually Paying Program is on the last working day of the applicable quarter. We call these "blockbuster days". Members may also opt to pay in Accredited Collecting Agents (ACAs) such as accredited banks, CIS SM Bayad Centers, LBC Express Inc., MLHuillier Pawnshops, Post Office and SM Retail Inc. for their convenience.
Members are encouraged to pay before the deadline to avoid stress during the last day of payment. However, many of them still come during such dates.
LHIO-QC and NCR-Central Branch hold the record of having the most number of walk-in clients being served daily. On peak days, it averages around 10, 000 clients.
Branch Manager Gilda Salvacion Diaz shares and opens the Office of the Manager located at the Penthouse of the building to accept the payment of members and issue PhilHealth ID and Member Data Record (MDR). This strategy decongests LHIO-QC and avoids customers from becoming irate.
Rey Sulit, the LHIO QC Head sets up three to four cashiers during deadlines to hasten the acceptance of PhilHealth premiums, utilizing the limited resources and manpower. Even the security guards on duty play vital roles together with the dynamic NCR-Central frontliners with the support of the backroom personnel through multi-tasking to ensure the smooth flow of operations.
These are the initiatives being exercised by NCR-Central Branch during deadlines. Indeed, the staff are doing everything to delight and give the best service to our members.
However stressful it may be, NCR-Central is ready to make the situation stress-free for everybody.
NCR Central Office covers Quezon City, San Juan, Marikina and Rizal areas. Our PhilHealth Members Assistance Center – LHIO Quezon City is located at Mezzanine Floor, No. 880 F.R. Estuar Building, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City with Tel. No. 332-1550.(END)

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
