Registering your enterprise with the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) is a crucial step in complying with local regulations and ensuring proper health coverage for your employees. PhilHealth serves as the government agency entrusted with providing health insurance to Filipino citizens, including overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and those in need.
