Gabriela Women's Party-list Representative Arlene Brosas criticizes the scheduled 15% increase in Social Security System (SSS) contribution rates, calling it a burden on workers amidst rising prices. She questions the government's focus on increasing contributions while ensuring inadequate benefits and services.
House Assistant Minority Leader and Gabriela Women's Party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas on Friday cried foul over the Social Security System's contribution rate increase, which she described as a "cruel New Year's gift.""This is the government's buena mano for 2025 - another round of burden for our workers. Sa halip na dagdag sahod, dagdag kaltas ang ibinigay sa mga manggagawa," Brosas said.
“The timing of the increase is "absolutely tone-deaf" given the continuous rise in prices of basic goods and services," said the lawmaker.."Bakit ba ipinipilit ng gobyerno na kumayod nang kumayod ang mga manggagawa para sa SSS contribution increase habang hindi naman sinisigurado ang maayos na benepisyo at serbisyo?,” she addedGMA News Online has reached out to SSS for comment and will publish it as soon as it becomes available.
