    The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) supports the government in its effort to simplify the process of applying for business registration in the country.
    With the collaboration of different agencies namely, Department of Finance, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Internal and Local Government, Securities and Exchange Commission, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Social Security System, PhilHealth, Home Development Mutual Fund, LandBank of the Philippines, Development Bank of the Philippines, National Competitiveness Council Philippines and the Quezon City government., the business registration process at the SEC for new corporations, partnerships and non-stock corporations were streamlined to six (6) steps and eight (8) days, down from the previous 16 steps and 34 days starting April 15, 2015.

    Online transactions for payroll-related payments to PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG shall also be in placed to reduce the number of payments from 36 to 13 annually.
    These said reforms are expected to boost the country’s rankings in the global competitiveness reports that will similarly impact heavily on the development of the capacity of the local micro, small-and medium-sized enterprises.

    “Streamlining the process of business registration shows government’s effort to bring quality service to the people. On PhilHealth’s part, we are strongly encouraging employers to pay their premium contributions at any accredited collecting agent through online facilities. Even the reporting system for the formal economy will be done electronically. With this move, we are making PhilHealth transactions easier for them,” said Padilla. (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...
