According to recent news reports, social media personality Deo "Diwata" Balbuena was arrested for alleged non-compliance with the Social Security Act of 2018 (Republic Act No. 11199) in connection with his business, Diwata Pares Overload. For his part, Balbuena claims that the SSS violated due process, asserting that he received no prior notice or subpoena before the arrest warrant was served.

​In light of this incident, please be guided by the following provisions:

​• Compulsory Coverage for Employees: SSS coverage is mandatory for all employees, including domestic workers (not over 60 years of age), and their respective employers (Sec. 9).

​• Compulsory Coverage for the Self-Employed: Coverage is also mandatory for self-employed individuals, including professionals, partners, and single proprietors (Sec. 9-A).

• ​Penalties for Non-Compliance: Failure or refusal to comply with the Act—including registration, deduction, and remittance of contributions—is punishable by a fine of ₱5,000 to ₱20,000, imprisonment for 6 years and 1 day to 12 years, or both, at the discretion of the court (Sec. 28).
​
The law may be harsh, but it is essential to understand these obligations when starting a business.
