The Philippines' Social Security System (SSS) has stepped up enforcement efforts against non-compliant employers in Panglao Island, a key tourism destination in Bohol province, in a bid to safeguard the benefits of over 4,000 employees.

During a recent "Run After Contribution Evaders" (RACE) operation, the SSS issued formal notices to six businesses for failing to remit a combined P1.3 million in mandatory employee contributions, including associated penalties. These delinquencies risk depriving workers of essential social security benefits, according to the agency.

"SSS will not hesitate to call out and pursue legal action against employers who violate their obligation to remit contributions," said Eric A. Coronado, Acting Head of the SSS Visayas Central 1 Division.
