The Social Security System (SSS) reminds its members and covered employers that the mandatory use of Payment Reference Number (PRN) for Salary, Calamity, Emergency, and Restructured loan payment transactions starts today, July 1, 2021, covering the billing month of June 2021.
SSS President and CEO Aurora C. Ignacio said the use of PRNs for loans was introduced in November 2020 as part of the state pension fund's Real-Time Processing of Loans (RTPL) Program. It facilitates the immediate and correct posting of loan payments to their matching loan accounts. "Initially, we planned to implement the mandatory use of PRN for loans on February 1, 2021. However, we decided to move this to July 1 to give our members and covered employers more time to register in the My.SSS portal. It also allows them to update their email addresses and mobile numbers through their My.SSS account for them to receive their PRN for loans notification on time," she added. Non-PRN loan payments will no longer be accepted beyond June 30, 2021, including loan payments made through Electronic Data Interchange (EDINet) facility. The PRN for loans is a system-generated number corresponding to a loan billing statement of an individual member (self-employed, voluntary, or Overseas Filipino Worker members) or employer. Every first to the sixth day of the month, the SSS generates loan billing statements and notices with PRNs and sends them to the registered email addresses and mobile numbers of individual members and employers. Aside from sending the statements and notices through email and SMS, these are also available starting every seventh day of the month in the PRN-Loans tab of the My.SSS portal in the SSS website (www.sss.gov.ph). Should individual members need to modify the amount to be paid in their loan billing statement, they may do so by using their My.SSS account or at SSS branches. Employers, on the other hand, can make changes only through their My.SSS account, where they must also submit an electronic-Loan Collection List (e-LCL). They may download the e-LCL from their My.SSS accounts for offline editing and afterward upload/submit the updated e-LCL also through their My.SSS. Once the updated e-LCL is uploaded, they can proceed to pay their employee's loans using PRN. The printout or screenshot of the loan billing statement with PRN and barcode or SMS of loans PRN received from the SSS must be presented upon payment. Short-term loan payments with PRN will only be accepted through SSS branches with Automated Tellering Systems (ATS) or RTPL-compliant collecting partners. Employers may course their payments through the BancNet eGov facility using the following banks:
Meanwhile, employers and individual members can make short-term loan payments through the following:
Individual members abroad may also course their payments through the foreign branches of the Philippine National Bank, Ventaja International Corporation, and i-Remit, Inc. SSS also announces that a facility to generate PRN for individual members is now available through the PRN-Loans module in their My.SSS account. It will serve as an alternative facility for recently separated employment members whose loan billing is still included in their employer's PRN but would like to continue paying their loans as individual members. Educational Assistance Loans (EALs), however, are not yet included in the PRN billing system. Members with EALs will still have to course payments through any SSS branch with ATS using the Payment Slip for Short-term Member Loans form. Further information about the RTPL-PRN is posted on the SSS' Facebook page at https://bit.ly/PRNEmployers and https://bit.ly/PRNIndividualMembers. ###

The Department of Science and Technology-Negros Oriental Provincial S&T Center (DOST PSTC) turned over RxBox biomedical devices to the heads of the Rural Health Units of LGU La Libertad and LGU Bindoy during a simple ceremony last June 22, 2021 at the DOST PSTC. Dr. Louie Jay Amante received the equipment in behalf of La Libertad RHU. “We are extremely fortunate today to receive the RxBox 1000,” said Dr. Amante. “We’re really excited to use this in a barrio setting where the basic laboratory and diagnostic tests are not readily available. The RxBox for me is the epitome, an example of ingenuity where you combine the ECG and CTG and other monitoring devices into one, what we call the RxBox. It is very useful in our setting since we don’t have to buy another type of diagnostic machine, it’s combined into one, and with budget constraints, I think this is a very effective device in order for us to address our medica needs. So dako kaayo among pasalamat sa DOST, and like I said, it’s very useful for us who are in the trenches or what we call in the grassroots. “ Dr. Estela Tuse, head of the Bindoy RHU, received the RxBox set. She gratefully acknowledged the assistance: “In behalf of the LGU Bindoy and RHU Bindoy, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to DOST7 for giving us this RxBox, surely this will help us to ease our (delivery of) services.” Immediately after they acquired the equipment, the medical and IT staff of the La Libertad RHU and the Bindoy RHU underwent an online Orientation on RxBox and Super User Training conducted by the DOST Region 7 on June 23-24, 2021. They practiced using the devices live with real patients. The RxBox biomedical device is one of three components of the DOST’s RxBox program, which itself is part of a “Smarter Philippines” initiative. The other two components include: electronic medical record system, and telemedicine training. The RxBox unit captures medical signals through built-in medical sensors, stores data in an electronic medical record system, and transmits health information via internet to a clinical specialist in the Philippine General Hospital. The device consists of six (6) instruments: blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter, electrocardiogram, fetal heart monitor, maternal tocometer, and temperature sensor. For Negros Oriental, the DOST has identified initially 16 LGUs as RxBox recipients, mostly those located quite far from Dumaguete City or without hospitals. Karong panahuna, daghan ang nag-reklamo tungod sa nisaka nga balayran sa kuryente. Samot na nga init kaayo ang panahon, dili pwede nga dili magpalaban ug betilador o ba kaha aircon. Aron nga dili kaayo daku ang kabayran sa kuryente, aton tamdan kining mga pipila ka mga sugyot gikan sa Department of Energy:
1. Regularly maintain air-conditioners. By regularly cleaning the filters and condensers of a one horsepower conventional air-con unit, you will save PHP100 monthly. 2. Turn off the lights when not needed. Turning off one light bulb for six hours will save you PHP25 a month. 3. Use LED lights. Convert your lighting system from compact fluorescent light to light-emitting diode or LED as it saves as much as 50 percent of energy. 4. Unplug unused electric appliances. Leaving unused electric appliances on standby still consumes energy. For example, a cathode-ray tube television and its digital box on standby mode still consume 16 watts, which is equivalent to PHP57.60 wasted electricity in a month. 5. Clean your fridge and avoid opening it longer than necessary. Do not open the refrigerator for a longer time since refrigerator door opening accounts for seven percent of the consumption assuming you open the fridge door 42 times in a day. Here's the latest update from Negros Oriental 1 Electric Cooperative, Inc.
Scheduled Power Interruption. Here's the latest update from Negros Oriental 1 Electric Cooperative, Inc.
Attention MCOs of Mabinay, Negros Oriental. Here is an advisory from Negros Oriental 1 Electric Cooperative, Inc. regarding Pre-Membership Seminars for those who wish to have a new connection.
