Pangasinan: The Social Security System (SSS) branch in this city is set to collect about PHP375,000 from four delinquent employers following the holding of the simultaneous nationwide Run After Contribution Evaders (RACE) campaign on Tuesday.

Servas said SSS also have condonation programs that the employers may avail of.
The SSS-Urdaneta City branch covers the fifth and sixth districts of Pangasinan, with over 19 local government uni
