ROXAS CITY, Capiz (PIA) — The Social Security System (SSS) Visayas West 2 Division emphasizes its mandate of protecting the labor sector in the province during its two-day Run After Contribution Evaders (RACE) campaign in Roxas City.
The SSS Visayas West 2 and SSS Roxas City branch have recorded P1,197,729.44 delinquencies affecting at least 88 employees whose contribution is at stake.
Subjects to the recent RACE operation include beauty salons, restaurants, merchandise, phone and computer accessories, and an electric bingo business, among others.
During the RACE campaign, SSS VW2 Division Vice President lawyer Bernardo Dofitas Jr. acknowledged the importance of the media in providing relevant truth to the SSS members in the province.
“Aside from serving notice of violations to delinquent employers, we also want to raise awareness to other SSS members of the mandate of the SSS in giving them protection and social security,” Dofitas added.
In the two-day RACE campaign in Roxas City, an employer of an aquamarine incorporated said they are still struggling with their business because of “some circumstances.”
Dofitas reminded the employers and some employees that the SSS is open to installment plans that involve management structuring programs that include condonation of contribution penalties despite their visits and notices of violations.
Moreover, SSS Roxas City Branch Head Rene Moises Gonzales said that since January this year, they already conducted 11 RACE operations and recorded more than P4.6 million delinquencies in the province.
Out of 11 operations, the government-owned and controlled corporation has issued notice of violations to 54 delinquent employers in the province protecting 350 employees whose social security is at risk. (AGP/PLF/PIA Capiz)
