The RCAM Annual Hospitalization Dues has been increased, as per 5
March 2014 letter of His Eminence Luis Antonio G. Card. Tagle, DD, Archbishop of Manila, from PhP 2,000 to PhP 12,000. This increase means PhP 1,000 monthly for twelve (12) months starting January 2014. This affects only the RCAM beneficiaries who are all diocesan priests of Novaliches with the exception of those priests ordained since 2003 from the Diocese of Novaliches (e.g. Fr. Christopher V. Santos) who have been enrolled at the Caritas Shields. Hence, the Religious and these Diocesan priests ordained since 2003 for Novaliches are not affected by this Circular. The Diocese has chosen to pay for each of the concerned priests PhP 12,000 to RCAM annually every February which will be deducted monthly from their PPAF. Given in the Chancery in Fairview, Quezon City, 5 April 2014.
