National Health Insurance Month is observed every February to underscore its importance

FEBRUARY of each year marks the country’s observance of National Health Insurance (NHI) Month by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 1400 s. 2007 which underlines the important role of social health insurance in every Filipino’s life.

The National Health Insurance Program, as a social health insurance (SHI) scheme, is a form of financing and managing health care based primarily on risk pooling. The SHI pools the health risks of the people on one hand; and the contributions of individuals, households, enterprises, and the government on the other. This system protects people against the financial burden of diseases and is considered a relatively fair method of financing health care.

The NHIP is guided by the principle of social solidarity or community spirit, where risks are shared among income groups, age groups, persons of differing health status and those residing in different geographical areas. This solidarity principle is best exemplified by the spirit of Bayanihan where everyone carries the burden towards achieving a common goal, which in this case is to provide every Filipino with adequate financial protection when seeking medical care through everyone’s contributions, big or small.

The Bayanihan spirit is best demonstrated in the PhilHealth program where the young is helping the old, the healthy subsidizing the sick, those earning more is subsidizing those who are earning less, and where the able subsidizes the poor and the vulnerable sectors such as senior citizens and persons with disabilities.

The theme for this year, “Pinalawak at mga Bagong Benepisyo para sa Mamamayang Filipino,” amplifies its commitment to continuously expand and to make the benefits even more responsive to the changing medical care needs of the Filipino people.

The observance aims to stimulate public awareness on the issues involving social health insurance and to encourage partners in fulfilling their respective roles to ensure the success of the NHI program, i.e., for Direct Contributors to religiously pay their contributions, for employers to remit and report their contributions on time, for health-care providers to file claims that are in order, among many others.

This is also an opportune time to inform the public of the essential role that PhilHealth plays in each family’s health as well as how social health insurance works to shield Filipinos against costly hospitalization. During the pandemic years alone, PhilHealth paid a total of P307.70 billion in benefits for over 33.93 million claims filed on behalf of the members and their dependents.

To further raise awareness on the NHI Month, PhilHealth is spearheading low profile but high impact activities such as a press conference to announce new and expanded health care benefits for rollout in 2023 and beyond, and a Social Health Insurance symposium involving internal and external stakeholders to showcase its various feats in the implementation of the NHIP especially during the pandemic years.

THE Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way Filipinos do shopping. The lockdowns have brought about an increase in online shopping transactions. However, this has also brought about an increase in digital fraud.

Based on the Global Consumer Pulse Survey by TransUnion, there has been an increase in digital fraud attempts against businesses and consumers in the country during the pandemic, with 44 percent of Filipino consumers targeted by digital fraud.

Recent cases of text phishing scams include pretending to come from legitimate companies, while some messages display the full name and address of users. These have sparked public concern. The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) reported that scammers had stolen millions of dollars from unsuspecting Filipinos victimized by both local and international fraud schemes in the last quarter of 2022.

Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky also noted that the country had the most phishing emails that target online payment systems in the Southeast Asian region for the first half of 2022 due to the increased number of electronic commerce platforms for beauty, lifestyle, and technology, among others.

Despite the decreasing number of digital fraud cases in 2022, online scams and phishing will continue to remain prevalent if Filipinos remain less wary about securing their online shopping presence.

With these, here are some warning signs on online transactions and determine if it may just be another scam.

Check if the website's universal resource locator or URL has no "S" in its “HTTPS” domain. The S in HTTPS indicates that the website is secure. Any sensitive data, such as those handled by online banking services, email providers, retailers, etc., will be transferred safely from the buyer to the website. An HTTPS domain prevents websites from having their information disclosed to anyone.

Be wary of sites or sellers that ask for financial information immediately, such as banking details, card information, or other sensitive financial details, even if you still need to add to your cart.

Return policy should be clear. In compliance with the Consumer Act of the Philippines, consumers have the right to be compensated for receiving defective

“We’re really customer-centric - and what’s key for us is to really adapt and make sure that we’re always relevant in the changing times,” Sharon Navarro, Chief Underwriting Officer of FPG Insurance, said in a November interview as she expressed the need to protect Filipinos during this digital era.

Aptly called MyCyberProtect Mate, this insurance product protects online buyers from undelivered goods and losses due to unauthorized transfer of funds (online bank accounts, electronic wallets, or credit and debit cards) through phishing, malware, or electronic fund transfer. The product also covers identity theft, cyberbullying, and other applicable online fraud or scams.

People insured with MyCyberProtect Mate are given round-the-clock service through a dedicated team of cybersecurity experts to help those experiencing problems with their online transactions.

FPG Insurance is the first to offer a cybersecurity insurance product in the Philippines, focused on protecting Filipinos with innovative solutions. The company continuously raises awareness of this product, with upcoming partnerships to reach every Filipino, including those in the provinces.

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), being the administrator of the National Health Insurance Program as provided for in Republic Act 7875 as amended, spearheads the nation’s observance in parallel with its 28th anniversary on February 14.

The state insurer also enjoins government agencies including local government units, the mass media and the entire citizenry to support the celebration geared towards fulfilling the vision of providing all Filipinos with equitable access to adequate, affordable and acceptable health care services without resulting to economic hardship; now and into the future.
