    You are assuming this only applies to those defined as OFWs and that does not appear to be the case.

    There are two articles in this link read the second one https://www.khaleejtimes.com/world/...3-of-salary-for-philippine-health-insurance--

    Has she already gone through the reacquisition process for her Filipino Nationality as she is assumed to have renounced that the moment she married you.

    If it is based on earnings, how would they know how much was owed?

    This is just an excuse to fleece people again at airports.

    As an expat Filipino it appears you are required to tell them what your earnings are, there is probably a default amount assumed.

    The "Expat Filipino" term is used.

    It is not talking only about OFWs who are assumed to be temporary migrant workers.

    Well right now she has Balikbayan rights and this law would not affect her.

    edit: sorry I'm wrong.

    She won't have officially lost her Filipino nationality yet that only happens when she takes up British Citizenship.

    For a 'holiday' a 'vacation', and then

    'Once they return home for vacation or other purposes, their PhilHealth payment records shall appear when their documents are checked prior to their departure from the country. If there are missed contributions, the expat should settle them first - along with compounded interest - before he or she can be allowed to travel.'

    Thanks. Although I still wouldn't trust them 100% on not suddenly deciding to take it from her even if she did.

    I don't suppose you have an internet link for that?

    My wife doesn't trust Philhealth either. If she felt her family might brnefit from her having it she'd consider paying for irt anyway, regardless of this new law.

    my wife is a migrant and no article refers to migrants they all talk about OFWs and expats, and as I read it an OFW is somebody who is
    a person from the Philippines who is living and working in another country, typically on a temporary basis.

    and the expat is for those who have been living abroad and intend to repatriate back to the Philippines
