Nagreklamo ang isang empleyado dahil pahirapan daw bago naibigay ang kanyang maternity benefits kahit regular namang nakakaltasan ng kontribusyon sa Social Security System
(SSS) ang kaniyang sahod.

Beauty ambassador ng ABS Promotions si Jessica Orido at regular ang kaltas sa kanyang sweldo bilang kontribusyon sa SSS pero nang mabuntis hanggang sa makapanganak, pahirapan daw ang pagkuha ng maternity benefit.

Huli siyang nag-check ng benepisyo noong April 21, 2017.

“Wala pa ring laman, walang naka-file. Ang kulit ko raw, kasi dapat daw hintayin ko na lang dumating ang tseke. Paano ko hihintayin ang tseke e wala nga pong naka-file?” ani Orido.

Ayon sa abogado ng ABS Promotions na si Atty. Darwin Santos, naka-post na ang 2016 contribution ni Orido batay sa print out na ipinakita rin sa kaniya.

Nahuli rin aniya sa pagpasa ng kinakailangang dokumento si Orido kaya hindi maiproseso ng ahensiya ang kaniyang maternity benefit.

Paliwanag naman ni SSS Media Affairs Department Manager Maria Luisa Sebastian, totoong kumpleto sa hulog ang kumpanya.

Ngunit, hindi pa nagbibigay ang kumpanya sa SSS ng listahan kung saan nakatala ang halaga ng bawat hulog nito sa kanilang mga empleyado.

Samantala, nitong Mayo 3, inilabas na ng ABS Promotions ang P20,000 na tseke ni Orido pero kulang pa ito ng P5,000 batay sa estimang ibinigay ng SSS.

Nangako ang ABS Promotions na ibibigay nila ito kapag naibalik na sa kanila ng SSS ang kabuuang halaga ng claim ni Orido.

Muli namang pinaalala ng SSS na ang maternity benefit ay dapat inaabonohan ng kumpanya.

"Kasi dapat naman po talaga ang ating maternity benefit pati po ang ating sickness benefit ina-advance 'yan ng employer. 'Yan ay nire-reimburse ng SSS doon po sa ating employer," ayon kay Sebastian.

Bid for suspension of House leaders is ‘retaliation’ for Sara Duterte impeachment, says majority leader

(L-R) Ret. Gen. Virgilio Garcia, Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez, Atty. Ferdie Topacio, senatorial aspirant Jimmy Bondoc, and Citizens Crime Watch’s Diego Magpantay filed criminal and graft complaints before the Office of the Ombudsman on February 10, 2025, against House Speaker Martin Romualdez, House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe, former appropriations chair Rep. Zaldy Co, and acting chair Rep. Stella Quimbo for alleged illegal P241 billion budget insertions. The complainants claim the budget signed by President Marcos contained blank sections, with insertions made post-bicam ratification. Maria Tan, ABS-CBN News 



MANILA — A motion asking the Office of the Ombudsman to suspend House Speaker Martin Romualdez and other lawmakers due to questions over the 2025 budget is a “political retaliation” for Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment, House Majority Leader Manuel Jose “Mannix” Dalipe said Thursday.  

“The request for the Ombudsman to order the preventive suspension of House leaders is a blatant political maneuver aimed at disrupting the work of Congress. It is no coincidence that this comes at a time when discussions on the impeachment have gained traction,” Dalipe said.

Davao del Norte First District Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez and other complainants sought the preventive suspension of Romualdez, Dalipe, House Committee on Appropriations acting chairperson Stella Quimbo, and the panel’s former head Elizaldy Co in relation to a graft complaint over alleged “insertions” in the enrolled bill on the 2025 national budget.

The complaint cited the respondents’ “power” and “influence” at the House of Representatives, which could supposedly be used to “suborn witnesses, tamper with evidence, and perjure testimony to escape penalty”.

But Dalipe said the complaint was being used as “a diversionary tactic to shift public attention away from the real issue—the impeachment case against the Vice President and the accountability questions she must answer.”

“This is a desperate attempt to weaponize the Ombudsman for political retaliation because the House remains steadfast in upholding transparency and accountability, regardless of political affiliations,” he added.

“Malinaw ang taktika nila: mag-file ng mga kaso para may balitang pantakip sa mga isyung hinaharap ng mga Duterte. Kahit walang kuwentang kaso, isasampa sa korte para ilihis ang isyu at palabasin na masama ang mga House Members na nag-impeach sa Vice President,” Dalipe said.

He also believes the complaint seeks to discredit the House leaders.

“The timing of this complaint is telling—it is meant to pressure the House and create a false narrative that undermines the integrity of its leadership. However, we will not be intimidated by these tactics. The House remains focused on serving the Filipino people, ensuring government funds are used properly, and holding public officials accountable—regardless of political connections,” Dalipe said.

Alvarez, an ally of the Dutertes, filed the complaint last February 10, alleging that P241 billion was “inserted” in the 2025 enrolled General Appropriations Bill (GAB).

Quimbo and Senate President Francis Escudero had explained that the ratified bicameral conference committee report contained an omnibus motion, which stated that if there were changes between the report and the printed copy, the latter would prevail. Quimbo said the value for the blanks in the report were already determined by the bicameral conference committee and were part of existing documents.

“Let’s be clear: the General Appropriations Bill (GAB) is a product of rigorous, transparent, and lawful deliberations. The allegations of ‘insertions’ are misleading and baseless, designed to discredit Speaker Romualdez and the House leadership for purely political ends. If there are genuine concerns, they should be addressed within the proper legislative processes, not through political harassment,” Dalipe said.

“We trust that the Ombudsman will not allow itself to be used as a tool for political games and will dismiss this baseless request for preventive suspension,” he added.
