Dear Philhealth,

Do you think it’s fair to ask OFWs for contributions that they CANNOT use at all?
Do you really think all OFWs can afford this? If they’re getting 20k/month, after food, rent, taxes, bills, health insurance, and money to support their families in the Philippines, how much is left?!
Do you think it’s sustainable for a 0.5% increase per year?? Do you think employers are that generous that there’s a salary increase of 0.5% each year?? Is it fair that their salary increase is going to something they cannot use rather than to improve their lives?

Now to the more detailed questions, let’s take your 7,488/year contribution for example (remember this is on the conservative side, a lot of people will be paying 21,600/year), according to Philippine Statistics Authority, there are 2.3M OFWs. That amounts to 17.2 BILLION pesos per year. This is a HUGE amount of money, the least you can do is tell us how the money will be spent.

How did you magically come up with 3% (17.2B, is 1% enough? is 0.5% enough? Has this been responsibly budgeted with Filipino health in mind?
How much percent is going to cancer treatments?
Dialysis?
Diabetes treatment? Etc.

And don’t give us bullshit numbers. Give us details. For example, how many cancer patients will benefit from this and how much in pesos is Philhealth going to cover?

Yeah, you didn’t think that far ahead right? Because my fear is, this money will be mismanaged just like in the past. In 2016, Philhealth had a 250M deficit. In 2017, 4B deficit. (I can’t find the figures after that, I’m sure someone can).

Is the OFW contributions going to cover your outstanding debts from hospitals?
Are we being used to correct your past mistakes? Is that fair?
Is the money going to be spent on hotel stays just like Celestina Dela Serna did in 2018? She spent 1.3M in a year just by staying in a hotel, are we paying for that mistake?!

And how about the 16.58M missing from OFW contributions?
In Feb 2020, a whistleblower Ken Sarmiento said that 4 Philhealth officials did not remit 16.58M from OFW contributions and that an estimated 50-100M is missing from OFW contributions. A day after the news came out, Philhealth President Ricardo Morales said that only 1.2M was missing and that recruitment agencies were to blame, that this was reported to the NBI since 2015. (now bear with me) My question is, yes you investigated the 1.2M but isn’t anyone questioning, where is the 16M to 100M? I don’t believe that Ken Sarmiento is making this up. Are we going to believe one person who says yeah nah, it’s fine, it’s only 1.2M. Is this being thoroughly investigated? 16M is not a joke, it’s a huge amount of money and this is a serious allegation.

Will the same thing happen to our 17.2B OFW contributions? Will it disappear into thin air?

To all Filipinos and OFWs out there, we should fight this and demand ANSWERS. Philippines still has a BIG corruption problem and a broken health care system and I fear that only a small percentage of the OFW contributions will actually benefit Filipinos who need it. I’m a citizen here in New Zealand, and because of this news, sadly I will not be processing my dual citizenship. I’m fortunate because I have an escape but for OFWs working in HK, Singapore, UAE etc. who can’t get citizenship, we should all fight for them as well.

Please share this post, sign the petition, it already reached 300k. However, the more support the better. This is the only way I know how to support OFWs, if you have any other ideas, please comment below and with all of us fighting, we can actually change this. Thanks for reading.

話說渣馬前一晚，
八點已躺在床上。
但翻來覆去就是睡不著，
結果還是起來看戲。
看的就是《敗者為王》電影版。
可幸戲拍得還可以，
到第二天比賽期間，
偶爾還會想起戲中熱血的情節。

《敗者為王》
作者：李宗偉
出版社：布咕

「維持這個排名，是我必須每天清晨五點起床，周而復始地以汗水和淚水一點一滴積累而成。」

「身為運動員永遠要記得，你的對手絕對不會停下腳步，訓練一刻都不容許鬆懈。」

2016奧運羽毛球男單決賽，中國諶龍對馬來西亞李宗偉的情況仍歷歷在目，轉瞬間下屆東京奧運於明年夏天又到，賽季即將進入奧運計分階段，對世界頂尖羽球手來說，欲爭取一張入場券的自然要打醒精神。

馬來西亞羽球王李宗偉去年公開宣佈自己罹患鼻咽癌，至今雖已康復，但這位三屆奧運男單銀牌得主現已屆三十六歲，明年奧運大有可能是他的最後一屆，然而是否有機會參戰仍屬未知數，倘若其奧運之路就此謝幕，難免叫人為之黯然。

翻查資料，李宗偉奪冠無數，而且職業生涯雄踞世界排名第一位置累計長達350周，是前無古人的記錄。然而，除了奧運之外，在眾多羽球大賽如世錦賽、湯姆斯盃、蘇迪曼盃及亞運等，他同樣偏偏從未得過冠軍。因此「無冕球手」之名不脛而走，他於2012年出版的自傳叫《敗者為王》，也不無點點自嘲意味。

李宗偉在出版《敗者為王》之時即將出戰2012年倫敦奧運，當時不知道他會否預料到自己不只當屆，甚至是再下一屆的里約奧運仍然無法擺脫「二奶宿命」？無論如何，對並非體育強國的馬來西亞來說，誰能為國家掙到一面奧運獎牌已是難能可貴，所以勇奪三面奧運銀牌的李宗偉自然是國家英雄。

在《敗者為王》中，李宗偉自述了前半生的傳奇經歷。在物質維艱的童年，一塊羽毛球拍也許已是奢侈品，但李宗偉仍是放不下對羽毛球的迷戀。這份由衷的熱情，使他在面對離鄉訓練、出外比賽，以至面對一眾宿敵時仍然無畏無懼，永不放棄。

筆者簡介：蝦叔，愛寫作，愛運動。期待未來以一雙腳和一枝筆，繼續從體育探索世界。

Dare to be a Champion
Author: Lee Chong Wei
Publisher: Bukuganda Digital & Publication

‘To maintain this ranking, I must get up at five o'clock every morning and press on repeatedly with sweat and tears.’

‘As an athlete, you must always bear in mind that your opponents will never let the grass grow under their feet, so you cannot afford to relax even a bit in training.’

While the memories are still fresh over the 2016 Olympic badminton men’s singles final between Chen Long from China and Lee Chong Wei from Malaysia, the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games are already opening next summer, and it’s time to enter the Olympic qualification stage, where top badminton players around the world strive to secure a place in the competition.

Malaysian badminton superstar Lee Chong Wei publicly announced that he had been suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer last year. Although he has since recovered, the triple silver medallist at the Olympic Games is now 36 years old, and next year’s Olympics is likely to be his last one. With his chances of participation hanging in the balance, it will be sad to see Lee calling it a day without competing in this next Olympic Games.

Looking at his career statistics, Lee Chong Wei has won countless championships, and has been ranked the world’s number one for an unprecedented record of 350 weeks in total. In addition to the Olympics, however, Lee somehow has never won a championship title in many major badminton tournaments, including the World Championships, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup and Asian Games. Being labelled the ‘Uncrowned King of Badminton’, he might have even been trying to ridicule himself by naming his autobiography published in 2012 Dare to be a Champion.

When Dare to be a Champion was published, Lee was about to compete in the 2012 London Olympics. At that time, could he have expected to live with the fate of playing second fiddle not only in that Olympics, but also in the following Rio Olympics? In any case, it is no small feat for a player to win an Olympic medal for Malaysia, which is by no means a sports superpower. As a three-time Olympic silver medallist, Lee truly does deserve to be considered a national hero.

In Dare to be a Champion, Lee recounted his extraordinary experiences during the first half of his life. Although a badminton racket was almost considered a luxury during his poor childhood upbringing, Lee’s passion for badminton did not abate one bit. Regardless of leaving his home for training, competing in foreign countries or facing fierce rivals, his wholehearted enthusiasm made him a formidable competitor who never gives up.

Congratulations everyone!

A week of adventure in the exotic land of Sabah, The Mark Hughes Foundation Borneo Coast to Coast Challenge has successfully completed. Well done to all participants.😁

The Mark Hughes Foundation Borneo Coast to Coast Challenge is done, dusted and smashed!
What an extraordinary adventure with an amazing bunch of Australians that took on and conquered one of the worlds toughest adventures to raise funds to find a cure for Brain Cancer.
The group overcame some enormous challenges with temperatures ranging from 45 degrees and 90% humidity on the bike leg to 0 degrees and minus 5 chill factor and a howling bitter wind on our climb up and down Mt Kinabalu.
We overcame seemingly impenetrable jungle trekked through pristine rivers and took on the challenges of the adventure with gusto and pride all while carrying the images of the POWs that made the ultimate sacrifices so we as Australians can enjoy and flourish in our lives.
To walk in the footsteps of the Sandakan POWs is humbling, rewarding and empowering.
To do this adventure with a bunch of like minded Australians for the Mark Hughes Foundation is a once in a life time experience.
Some statistics for our adventure include.
Highest temperature 45degrees, lowest temperature 0 degrees with a windchill factors of minus 5.
3867 bottles of water, 8 bags of the famous Trek Fuel, 40kgs of snacks and lollies, 112 ice blocks, 333 cans of hydration drinks, more than 40 cartons of beer, 167km of mountain bike riding more than 364km of distance from Coast to Coast, more than 8000m of elevation gain and 8000m of descent, the summiting of Mt Kinabalu at 4095m the highest mountain in this part of the world.
These adventures are not possible without an incredible back office and on the ground support staff.
I would like to thank Julie Elliott from Wild Spirit Adventures for the amazing pre trek administrations Kristen Campbell our Superstar Travel Agent, Bernadette Jillu our on the ground Operations Manager that managed the ongoing and fluid situation with such great professionalism and good humour, Mohammad Jerome Robles for his outstanding knowledge and passion for all things Sandakan and Borneo and to Cassie Forsythe from Sabah Tourism for their unwavering support in putting together this outstanding adventure.
My last thanks goes to those outstanding Australians who joined us on this momentous and epic adventure for our mate Mark Hughes.
The last 3 adventures we have nearly cracked the $1million in fundraising.
Every dollar raised goes directly to projects that either helps a Brain Cancer patient or to fund research to find a cure.
Please help us to find a cure.
