| Only MGCQ areas can hold April 2021 pharmacy licensure exam Posted: 02 Apr 2021 12:55 AM PDT THE Pharmacy Licensure Examination (PhLE) that was scheduled on April 25-26 will only be conducted in areas under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ), said the Professional Regulation Commission in an advisory Thursday, April 1, 2021. Areas where the PhLE will be conducted are the following: * Cagayan de Oro * Cebu * Iloilo * Legaspi * Lucena * Pagadian * Rosales, Pangasinan * Zamboanga "Only the examinees assigned to the above examination venues shall be allowed to take the PhLE as scheduled," said the PRC. The exams will be postponed in the following areas: * National Capital Region * Baguio * Davao * Tacloban * Tuguegarao The PRC said this is pursuant to the directives of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases to postpone the conduct of the April 2021 licensure examinations in areas under GCQ to avoid cross-border transfer of examinees. "Affected examinees will be taking their examination on appropriate dates to be determined by the Professional Regulation Commission and approved by the IATF-MEID," it added.

| SSS to impose mandatory use of PRN for short-term loan payments Posted: 01 Apr 2021 10:41 PM PDT THE Social Security System (SSS) announced that the mandatory use of payment reference number (PRN) for short-term loan payments was moved to May 1 from its April 1 schedule. SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Aurora Ignacio said the management approved the one-month extension to provide members and employers extra time to create their My.SSS accounts, update contact information, as well as review their loan information. "We wanted to make sure that our stakeholders are ready to comply with our upcoming procedural and system changes so that they can also benefit from this program and realize its importance," Ignacio said. Under the Real-Time Processing of Loans (RTPL), individual members (self-employed, voluntary, and overseas Filipino workers) and employers will use the system-generated PRN to facilitate the immediate and correct posting of loan payments on their corresponding records. Covered short-term loans under the RTPL implementation are salary, calamity, emergency, and restructured loans. "Individual members and employers can either print out a copy or capture a screenshot of the PRN Loans Statement of Account with the corresponding barcode, accessed through the 'RTPL PRN' module of their My.SSS accounts are found on the SSS website (www.sss.gov.ph). They may also present the SMS received from SSS indicating the PRN for loan payment," Ignacio said. Members and employers can also change the amount to be paid in the said statement through their My.SSS accounts. However, employers are required to submit an electronic-Loan Collection List (e-LCL), which can be downloaded from the SSS accounts for offline editing before submission. The complete process flow of RTPL implementation can be accessed through this link: https://bit.ly/3u5NQIr. Payees should present their PRN at SSS branches with Automated Tellering System (ATS) or any RTPL-compliant collecting partners. For the complete list of RTPL-compliant partners, access the link https://bit.ly/3cCGXs3. "This is to reiterate that starting May 1, RTPL-compliant SSS collecting partners will only accept loan payments with PRN to avoid possible system errors. Members and employers will receive a notification through email or SMS confirming their loan payment and successful posting," Ignacio concluded.

| Nearly 100,000 OFWs return home in 2021 Posted: 01 Apr 2021 09:53 PM PDT ALMOST 100,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) have returned to the Philippines this year amid the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic. Data from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (Owwa) showed that a total of 97,742 OFWs have returned to their families from January 1 to March 22, 2021. Of the total, there were 40,339 Luzon-based OFWs who were brought home via the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange. A total of 57,403 OFWs, on the other hand, were brought home to Visayas and Mindanao via the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Since March 2020, there have already been 489,451 OFWs who have returned home amid the pandemic. The repatriated OFWs were brought home after being cleared from Covid-19, as they underwent reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing. Since their arrival in the country, they have also been provided by Owwa with food and accommodation assistance.
