The team headed by Vice President for the Visayas West 2 Division Bernardo Dofitas Jr. visited Roxas City, Ivisan, Dumarao, and Cuartero towns with a total of P895,218.10 delinquencies affecting at least 34 employees whose contribution status is at stake. 

Dofitas said they have been doing the RACE campaign since 2022 in the province to force employers to remit the Social Security contributions of their employees.

“To also provide information and education to the employees, we are here to help them so that whatever contribution is due then, should be paid to the SSS and this will eventually redound to the availment of their benefits,” Dofitas added, reiterating that they are there to help employees protect their rights. 

Genova said that most of the non-compliant employers have paid their contributions before, however they have gaps in paying it.

“After naton gintagaan sang billing kag ginkadtuan sang aton nga mga billing officers, medyo wala gihapon sila ga coordinate sa office naton. That is why before kita mag resort into serious remedies mas maayo nga ma-istorya naton ang employers (After we gave them the billing and they were visited by our account officers, they are still not coordinating with our office. That is why before we resort to serious remedies, it is better that we can talk to the employers),” Genova added. 

After they received the Show Cause Orders, they were given 15 days to coordinate with the SSS and settle their contribution delinquencies.
