31
00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:43,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Magandang umaga po sa ating lahat.

32
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:47,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Today, we take up the proposed 2027 budget.

33
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of the Department of Health and its attached agencies and corporations.

34
00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:56,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Health is one of the clearest tests of whether a national budget is working for the ordinary Filipinos.

35
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:03,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ramdam agad ito kapag pumunta sila sa health center, pampublikong ospital, pharmacy, or PhilHealth accredited facility.

36
00:14:04,660 --> 00:14:07,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I have never denied my bias towards healthcare.

37
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:15,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: As author and principal sponsor of the Universal Healthcare Act, I want UHC to succeed and fulfill its promises.

38
00:14:15,820 --> 00:14:17,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But it can only do so...

39
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: If it is sufficiently funded and properly implemented.

40
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:30,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: In a sheer twist of fate, this humble representation became the Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance and will defend the budget of the Department of Health.

41
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I was fortunate enough to have worked with the Secretary of Health when he was field head president.

42
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:42,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And the one who took over his role was instrumental in drafting the UHC.

43
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dr. Beverly Ho was one of the assistants.

44
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: The secretaries of the UH when we were drafting and deliberating on the universal healthcare.

45
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, I would like also to acknowledge Usec Albert Domingo, who was then with...

46
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: who was also with us as we were passing the universal health care.

47
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:15,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: That's why I can say it's like a dream team for UHC to have Dr. Ed Mercado as secretary

48
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:26,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: who really has improved the operations of field health and implementation of UHC under his administration.

49
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:39,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, I'm very happy to have Secretary Mercado, Dr. Bevo, Yuseg Domingo, and the rest of the officials of the DOH

50
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:42,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: who are really pro-universal health care.

51
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:46,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ngayon tayo na ang chair ng Senate Committee on Finance.

52
00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:52,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Malinaw na ang nais nating makita sa budget na ito, hindi lamang mas malaking pondo,

53
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kundi ang mas accessible na serbisyong pangkalusugan

54
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:56,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at mas mababang medical out-of-pocket expense.

55
00:15:56,820 --> 00:16:04,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: The UHC Act requires us to shift toward primary and preventive care

56
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: rather than relying predominantly on hospital-based treatment.

57
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya kailangan nating palakasin ang primary health care sa ating mga komunidad,

58
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kasabay ang pagpapaayos ng ating mga provincial hospitals,

59
00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:22,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: medical equipment at health workforce.

60
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:26,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ngayon po ay napaganda natin through the years

61
00:16:26,220 --> 00:16:33,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: itong mga apex hospitals o mga DOH-run hospitals dahil sa budget na rin ng specialty centers

62
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:34,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na inilagay ng Senado.

63
00:16:35,180 --> 00:16:39,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Gusto rin nating makita ang mas malakas na PhilHealth,

64
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: a PhilHealth which can give benefit packages that reflect the actual health needs of Filipinos.

65
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:51,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Gusto rin nating matiyak ang pagpapataas pa ng PhilHealth participation sa mga hospital bills,

66
00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:54,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: upang mapababa ang out-of-pocket expense ng bawat pasyente.

67
00:16:56,220 --> 00:17:00,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nagpahayag po tayo na ngayong 2027,

68
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:04,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: gusto natin mabigyang prayoridad ang health care ng bawat Pilipino.

69
00:17:04,660 --> 00:17:07,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Iyon po ang ating ipaglalaban.

70
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:12,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ang malusog na mamamayan ay isang mamamayan na makapag-aambag sa pag-unlad ng bayan.

71
00:17:12,820 --> 00:17:17,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Universal health care was enacted so that every Filipino can receive health services

72
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: they need without financial hardship.

73
00:17:20,980 --> 00:17:26,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Our task today is to determine whether the proposed 2027 budget,

74
00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:28,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: truly brings us closer to that promise,

75
00:17:28,740 --> 00:17:33,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: not only on paper, but in the patient's actual experience.

76
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:37,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So I hope that the department and its attached agencies can give us clear targets,

77
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:40,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: clear timelines, and clear accountability.

78
00:17:40,820 --> 00:17:44,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: By the end of this hearing, we should know what a Filipino patient

79
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:46,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: should concretely expect from this budget,

80
00:17:46,780 --> 00:17:50,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: how much less he or she should have to pay out of pocket,

81
00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:55,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and which programs Congress must strengthen to make those results possible.

82
00:17:56,060 --> 00:18:04,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We assure that, this budget hearing, sabi ko nga po, bias po ako, but we will give health care programs

83
00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:06,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: utmost priority.

84
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:08,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At ito po yung talagang ramdam ng taong bayan,

85
00:18:08,540 --> 00:18:10,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na kahit ano pang problema,

86
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ano pang mga hamon,

87
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:15,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: whatever challenges that our country is facing,

88
00:18:15,580 --> 00:18:18,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: as long as our countrymen,

89
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: as long as the Filipinos,

90
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hangga't ramdam po nila na andiyan po ang gobyerno para umalalay po sa

91
00:18:24,140 --> 00:18:25,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kanilang oras sa pangangailangan,

92
00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:29,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: lalo na sa pagkakasakit, ay malaking bagay po yun.

93
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya maraming maraming salamat po.

94
00:18:32,220 --> 00:18:37,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I'm looking forward to a very productive hearing.

95
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So I'd like to ask our colleagues,

96
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Panfilo Lacson first to give his statement.

97
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:46,720
Senator Panfilo Lacson: None from this representation, Mr. Chairman.

98
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Tulfo.

99
00:18:50,970 --> 00:18:52,390
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

100
00:18:52,390 --> 00:19:01,210
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Since I became Senator at tuwing magkakaroon ng budget hearing sa Department of Health,

101
00:19:01,810 --> 00:19:07,370
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: lagi ko pong kini-kwestiyon bakit walang palya

102
00:19:07,370 --> 00:19:11,830
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: nagkakaroon ng mga gamot na nag-expire.

103
00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:18,570
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Not only by the hundreds of millions, but by the billions B, billions of pesos.

104
00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:21,250
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ba't nangyayari ito?

105
00:19:21,250 --> 00:19:26,950
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Samantalang maraming mga health centers tayo na sumisigaw na kulang sila sa gamot.

106
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:32,150
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Maraming mga may hirap natin kababayan ng kakamatay na dahil hindi nakakarating sa kanila

107
00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:34,530
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: yung mga gamot na they deserve.

108
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:38,590
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At ang palaging sinasabi ng DOH,

109
00:19:40,290 --> 00:19:45,130
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ito raw ay nagkakaroon sila ng konting oversight, ang reason.

110
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:47,330
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And then number two,

111
00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:50,190
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: yung gamot daw na nag-expire,

112
00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:52,050
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: sinusoli naman daw sa mga supplier.

113
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:55,470
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At yung mga supplier, pinapalitan.

114
00:19:57,070 --> 00:19:58,130
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Gigibaing ko yung,

115
00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:59,710
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ngayong araw na ito, right now,

116
00:20:00,890 --> 00:20:03,350
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: yung kasinungalingan ng DOH for so many years

117
00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:05,030
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: na binubudol, ini-scam

118
00:20:05,030 --> 00:20:08,330
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ang taongbaya na sinasabing isinusoli

119
00:20:08,330 --> 00:20:10,490
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ang mga gamot na nag-expire.

120
00:20:11,150 --> 00:20:13,990
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: May ebidensya ako na yung mga gamot na yun ay binabaon.

121
00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:17,130
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I have pictures here that will show

122
00:20:17,130 --> 00:20:19,570
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: yung mga medicines na yan,

123
00:20:20,190 --> 00:20:21,190
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: binabaon.

124
00:20:22,930 --> 00:20:23,970
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat may managot dyan,

125
00:20:24,090 --> 00:20:26,630
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: dapat may makulong sa kasinungalingan.

126
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:32,330
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Pangalawa, sa FDA,

127
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:35,870
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: i-reserve ko na muna ang katanungan ko later on

128
00:20:35,870 --> 00:20:36,950
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: tungkol sa mga anomalyang.

129
00:20:37,050 --> 00:20:38,570
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napakaraming anomalyang ang DOH.

130
00:20:39,450 --> 00:20:41,390
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Secretary Mercado, walang kinalaman dito.

131
00:20:42,510 --> 00:20:43,310
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yung anomalyang,

132
00:20:43,870 --> 00:20:45,690
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: talamak nung panahon ni Herbosa.

133
00:20:46,450 --> 00:20:47,870
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And I have proof to show that.

134
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:49,330
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At marami siyang mga alipores.

135
00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:50,790
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Isang alipores niya hanggang ngayon,

136
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:51,830
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: nasa DOH pa.

137
00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:52,610
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yung iba, wala na.

138
00:20:53,070 --> 00:20:54,470

00:29:55,870 --> 00:29:57,310
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 2025 NEP

570
00:29:57,310 --> 00:29:58,390

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay

574
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,900

575
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:16,020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero kung ikukumpara po natin yung ating 2026 NEP doon po sa nakaraang 2026 GAA, ito po yung mas mababa ng 21.2%.

576
00:30:16,020 --> 00:30:17,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Next slide po.

577
00:30:19,940 --> 00:30:28,060

585
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Next slide po.

586
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:35,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung ating, kung ating pong i-divide na yung buong 353 budget po ng DOH, ito nga po yung limang pillars.

587
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung para po doon sa unang pillar na Healthy School Workplace and Communities.

588
00:31:40,140 --> 00:31:48,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang malaking portion po dito, or 55.4 per billion, ay yung share po ng PhilHealth Premium to cover the indirect contributor.

589
00:31:48,820 --> 00:31:53,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 30.7 million po ang aming nakalap na dami.

590
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:56,800

591
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: P2.5 billion po for health promotion.

592
00:32:00,180 --> 00:32:08,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Short pa rin po ng mandated na 1%, but ito po ay tumaas na significantly compared ng mga nakaraang taon na halos dumoble.

593
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And then P1.3 billion po dito sa ating health emergency preparedness.

594
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:18,960
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dahil alam po natin, bunga nitong global warming, marami po tayo ngayong mga na-experience.

595
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kagaya nga po nitong haze, ito pong pagbaha, at saka po itong surge po.

596
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:26,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dengue at leptospirosis.

597
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:27,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Next slide.

598
00:32:28,940 --> 00:32:33,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So kung titignan naman po natin yung performance noong 2025,

599
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:38,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang ating pong fully immunized ay 2 out of 3 children.

600
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:42,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ito po ay nasa 64.54%.

601
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi rin po ito umabot noong target natin na 95%.

602
00:32:46,140 --> 00:32:54,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ito po yung pinagtutuunan ko ng pansin, kasi karamihan po dito ay yung commodities po ay hindi dumating ng oras.

603
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:57,920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para pagpambabakuna na inaayos na rin po natin.

604
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:03,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 8 out of 10 children, age 2 and below, had adequate height for their age.

605
00:33:03,340 --> 00:33:05,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ito po naman yung sukatan natin ng stunting.

606
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:13,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ito po ay nasa 21.1% na ibaba na po natin kumpara noong 22.5% noong 2023.

607
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And then 8 out of 10 households had access to basic water supply.

608
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ito po ay 82.74% ng kabuang household.

609
00:33:22,820 --> 00:33:24,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Medyo falling short pa rin po.

610
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:27,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung 25 target na 94%.

611
00:33:27,220 --> 00:33:31,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At 7 out of 10 Filipinos had access to family planning needs.

612
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ito po ay nasa 72.5%.

613
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:38,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ito po ay nahigitan yung ating target na 64.5%.

614
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:43,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang ating pong nabigyan ng TB meds ay 367,000.

615
00:33:43,580 --> 00:33:47,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At ito po ay 85% po ng ating accomplishment, which is our target.

616
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:51,300

617
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At 100,000 po ang Pilipino.

618
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At higit 100,000 po, living with HIV, ang nakatanggap po ng treatment.

619
00:33:58,740 --> 00:34:03,640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At ito po ay 66% accomplishment versus our target of 70%.

620
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 15,000 cancer patients po ang naka-access ng ating essential medicines and palliative care.

621
00:34:10,140 --> 00:34:16,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At 262,000 individuals naman po ang nakatanggap po ng mental health medicines and intervention.

622
00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:18,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Next slide please.

623
00:34:19,340 --> 00:34:23,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Sa ating pong PILAR 2, which is the Functional Primary Care Services,

624
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:30,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: system, 9.1 billion po ang for family health, immunization, nutrition, and responsible parenting.

625
00:34:30,740 --> 00:34:34,540

626
00:34:34,900 --> 00:34:41,100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung saan po papalawigin din eventually na magkaroon din ang access doon sa ating commodities for family planning.

628
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:47,300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At nakasentro po ito sa TB at HIV.

00:34:47,780 --> 00:34:53,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Again, nag-uusap na po kami ni PCO Bevho kung paano din po maisama itong mga commodities.

630
00:34:53,600 --> 00:35:00,840

632
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:12,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Again, ito po ay isasama din ni Doktora Bev sa pagpapalawak ng gamot.

633
00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:16,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At 1.5 billion for local health systems development.

636
00:35:27,540 --> 00:35:31,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dito naman po sa Pillar 3, which is the quality and efficient hospitals.

637
00:35:32,420 --> 00:35:39,620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Nakita po natin na nung nakaraang taon, record high pong 300 billion ang benefit payment na nailabas ng PhilHealth.

638
00:35:39,940 --> 00:35:42,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ito po ay 82% increase from the previous year.

639
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:50,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Na nagpapatunay nga po kung bakit bumaba yung out-of-pocket spending ng mga Pilipino nung nakaraang taong 2025.

640
00:35:51,580 --> 00:35:53,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Out of the 300 billion,

641
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:59,520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasama na po yung 40 million na Pilipinos registered with the YACAP nung nakaraang taon po.

642
00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:03,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung pong nakatanggap ng ma-EFIP ay 4.3 million.

643
00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:09,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Out of which, 4.3 million patients in 2025.

644
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:16,300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And then these are served, 32,000 plus patients served through e-MA-EFIP na po.

645
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So nagsishift na po tayo to e-MA-EFIP.

646
00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:20,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pinupisaan lang po ito nung August.

647
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At sa mula po nung August, mag-iisang buwan.

648
00:36:23,580 --> 00:36:28,600

649
00:36:28,940 --> 00:36:34,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At kami po ay nagpapalawig at atin pong inumpisahan sa DOH hospitals.

650
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ngayon po ay isasama na po natin yung mga local government unit hospitals.

651
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At nakita naman po na mas mabilis na po yung ating processing.

652
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:46,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 54,000 cancer patients po ang nakareceive ng Cancer Assistance Fund.

653
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:52,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Nearly 2,000 health infrastructure projects were completed in the last 2 years, 3 years, 23 to 25.

654
00:36:53,580 --> 00:36:56,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And almost 5,000 medical equipments were procured.

655
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:01,960
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Lahat po ito kasaming 500 medical transport vehicles are done through our HVEP.

656
00:37:02,660 --> 00:37:03,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Next slide please.

657
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:13,730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ang nandito rin po sa Pillar 3 ay yung operations po ng ating 71 regional hospitals and health facilities.

658
00:37:13,730 --> 00:37:17,450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung ating pong labindalwang DOH hospitals na karagdagan.

659
00:37:17,610 --> 00:37:21,110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ito pong 71 po ay sa region, 21 po ay sa Manila.

660
00:37:21,670 --> 00:37:24,430
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At yung pong apat na specialty hospital.

661
00:37:24,830 --> 00:37:31,450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Na nandito po ang Lung Center, NKTI, Philippine Heart Center, and Philippine Children's Medical Center.

662
00:37:31,910 --> 00:37:42,310
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Lahat po na nabigyan po ng ating NEP ng kaukulang coverage po ng kanilang MOOE at PS.

663
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:48,670
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So karamihan po dito sa MOOE ay ginagamit po para ma-maintain po yung ating Z-BEN package.

664
00:37:48,810 --> 00:37:54,130
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi yan po yung nagsusustena nung kanilang quantified free service o yung pong sumosobra.

665
00:37:54,830 --> 00:38:05,660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ito po yung coverage ng PhilHealth at ng initial 55 billion na nabanggit ko kanina.

666
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:11,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At ito po ay para palawigin along 11 diseases po na nakalinya na dun sa aming roadmap.

667
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:16,500

668
00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:20,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang Cancer Assistance Fund ay nabigyan ulit po ng 3.8 billion.

669
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Medyo mas mataas ng nakaraang taon.

670
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:31,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At yung HPEP nga po, bagamat nabawasan, meron pa rin pong 14.5 na ikinocover nga po yung ating 500.

671
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:37,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 114 health facilities, 845 equipment projects, and 345 medical transport vehicles.

672
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:44,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ito po yung aming iapila na i-considera po ng ating appropriations or finance committee po

673
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:53,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na kung pwede pong maibalik dahil po ito'y napaka-importante para nga po palakasin natin yung ating services sa local government unit

674
00:38:53,220 --> 00:38:57,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para hindi po dumadagsa at nabubulunan itong ating mga DOH hospitals.

675
00:38:58,500 --> 00:38:59,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Next slide po.

676
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:00,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yung pillar 4.

677
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:03,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 4 po ay sa information technology.

678
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:09,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Gaya ng nasabi ko, talagang titignan po natin na magkaroon na po ng central digital health system

679
00:39:09,060 --> 00:39:12,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung saan nga po merong health information exchange.

680
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:19,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 480 billion po for epidemiology and surveillance, and 222 million po for health statistics

681
00:39:19,340 --> 00:39:25,280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na tinitrack din po natin para matiyak na yung pong ating nagawa ay nagbubunga.

682
00:39:25,420 --> 00:39:30,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Gaya ng nasabi ko sa una, something that is not captured data does not exist.

683
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:32,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And next slide po.

684
00:39:33,140 --> 00:39:38,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Sa pillar 5, sa ating strong institutions, workforce, and sector.

685
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:43,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So tayo po ay itutuloy yung National Health Workforce Support System.

686
00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:50,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ito po yung karagdagang health professionals na dinideploy natin sa iba-ibang mga province at local government unit.

687
00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:55,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Meron po tayong naka-plano pong 24,381 health professionals.

688
00:39:55,580 --> 00:40:01,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At yung ating supply chain management na akin din po tinitingnan kung paano po,

689
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:07,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: i-revive yung ating mga digital systems na di umano yung ano na po, outdated na daw.

690
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:10,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero titingnan ko po kung paano po ito i-update.

691
00:40:11,180 --> 00:40:16,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasama na rin po dito yung pagbiminta na po ng warehouse at saka yung cold chain po

692
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:21,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para nga po dito sa ating mga bakuna at para matiyak po na hindi po nasasayang

693
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:26,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dahil mamaintain po natin yung quality nung pag-re-store nitong ating gamot at bakuna.

694
00:40:27,540 --> 00:40:28,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Next slide.

695
00:40:29,220 --> 00:40:31,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun po ang budget po

696
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:36,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At ang budget po ng ating departamento and its attached agency at bilang isang health sector

697
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:45,940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang ating pinagtutunan ngayon po ay internally una sa pagtutulungan, una sa pag-usad, una sa pagkilala

698
00:40:45,940 --> 00:40:52,020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dahil ang aking push ay hindi siya siloed at dapat nag-uusap-usap lahat ng sector within the

699
00:40:52,020 --> 00:40:54,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: all the agencies within the health sector.

700
00:40:54,700 --> 00:41:01,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para po ito maramdaman ng ating taong bayan isang mabilis, patas at mapagkakatiwala ang health sector.

701
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:02,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Maraming maraming salamat po.

702
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Secretary Mercado. At this juncture, the Chair would like to acknowledge the presence of our Senate President Win Gatchalian. Thank you, sir, for joining us. The Chair would like to already ask our PhilHealth: Do you have any presentation? Ah kasama na? Oo nga pala, no? Nandun naman po yung

703
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:25,630
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: United na.

704
00:41:25,630 --> 00:41:26,160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po.

705
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:36,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi dati nag-aaway pa yung [unclear], magsusuntukan pa eh. At least I'm happy now that we'll have a better chance of implementation kasi magkasama na.

706
00:41:36,860 --> 00:41:38,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Unified na ang program.

707
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, any agencies pa?

708
00:41:41,140 --> 00:41:43,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So we can probably start already, no?

709
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro we'll just ask the other agencies and attached corporations later.

710
00:41:48,140 --> 00:41:53,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So in order of arrival, Senator Lacson, but our Senate President, would you like to go ahead?

711
00:41:55,720 --> 00:42:00,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll waive my seniority in rank.

712
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:03,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Lacson, may now ask the questions.

713
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and good morning to the DOH family.

714
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:10,900
Senator Panfilo Lacson: And congratulations kay Secretary Mercado.

715
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:17,720
Senator Panfilo Lacson: I've been receiving positive feedback sa pagka-appoint ninyo sa mga nakakilala sa inyo.

716
00:42:20,380 --> 00:42:28,020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: As I mentioned earlier, Mr. Chairman, mag-focus po yung aking mga tanong sa Universal Healthcare Act na ipinasan ninyo.

717
00:42:28,020 --> 00:42:31,020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: You have championed this law.

718
00:42:31,100 --> 00:42:43,240
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So since 2017, 18th Congress, until we enacted it into law in 2019, at saka nag-rollout tayo 2020.

719
00:42:44,380 --> 00:42:51,400
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ang isang napansin ko lang, since na-rollout, lagi pong papalit-palit yung ating spending plans.

720
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:58,220
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kaya ang unang tanong ko, where are we at in the implementation of the Universal Healthcare Act?

721
00:42:59,380 --> 00:43:01,080
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi po, pupunta namin.

722
00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:02,560
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Medium, babalik tayo ng low.

723
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,220
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Hanggang ngayon, wala pa po tayo doon sa high.

724
00:43:06,140 --> 00:43:14,840
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung six years, diba, ang timeline yan, ang pag-aalam ko po, after six years, which ito na yan, 2020, 2026,

725
00:43:15,020 --> 00:43:19,020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: dapat nasa high-end na tayo, ang coverage, lahat na.

726
00:43:19,340 --> 00:43:20,540
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So nasaan po tayo ngayon?

727
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

728
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Medyo noong po no-launch, nagkaroon po ng, hindi inaasahang COVID.

729
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:34,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya po, medyo na-delay yung ating implementation.

730
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:37,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Medyo na-pushback ng two to even three years.

731
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung pong universal coverage, kung yun po yung pagtutuunan, na-achieve po yun.

732
00:43:43,060 --> 00:43:45,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi immediate eligibility na po lahat ng Pilipino.

733
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So hindi na po yung kung meron ka lang hulog, siya haka mako-cover.

734
00:43:49,580 --> 00:43:57,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang kaso po, yung supply side, yung pong nagbibigay ng mga benepisyo, yung pa po yung kailangan nating pagtuunan.

735
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi hindi pa rin po equal yung presence ng mga...

736
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:05,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: accredited health facilities ng PhilHealth na magbigay.

737
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Lalo na po yung mga matataas na uri po ng sakit na meron na naman pong coverage.

738
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:11,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero wala pong mga capabilities.

739
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:17,280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Open heart surgery, renal transplant, at mga matataas pa pong mga procedures

740
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng covered ng Z-package ng PhilHealth.

741
00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:26,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Doon po naman sa mga local government units, medyo doon din po nahuulay.

742
00:44:26,340 --> 00:44:30,520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi supposedly po, dahil with the devolved nature of our UHC law,

743
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:37,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay natuturoan na po sila how to run their local health systems.

744
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: May maturity grading po tayo.

745
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:42,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Almost 110 na naman pong probinsya.

746
00:44:42,620 --> 00:44:46,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang talagang 110 provinces na nga po.

747
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang medyo nag-re-reach na po ng maturity.

748
00:44:50,620 --> 00:44:55,760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ngayon po, nagsishift na kami na ang payment po ay pumunta na doon sa isang special healthcare fund

749
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para mapagplanuhan po na mas mabuti ng ating local chief executive.

750
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:13,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sa kanila pong mga health budgets. Pero kailangan pa po ng tulong kasi nga po una na po dyan di pa rin pare-pareho yung kakayanan ng ating mga local health units na papondohan yung kanilang healthcare.

751
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:30,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya po yung PhilHealth na nagpalawig ng kanilang coverage noong nakaraan to, malaki pong tulong. Kaya marami naman pong mga local health office o mga LCEs ang lumalapit na ngayon medyo kaya-kaya nila dahil kumikita na yung kanilang mga hospital at clinic.

752
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:38,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So matter lang po of turuan how to budget and how to allocate properly. At yun nga po yung tinitingnan naming tulungan yung mga LGUs.

753
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So in short po, hindi pa po natin na-achieve.

754
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:54,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi ko lang po mabibigyan yung actual percentage base po dun sa ating targets kasi nga po medyo yung mga nangyaring ventrics nag-iba-iba through the years.

755
00:45:54,260 --> 00:46:13,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: But yun nga po yung aking plano, sabi ko kay Dr. Bev, na this year by 2028 dapat yung mga local health units or yung local chief executive may mga sarili-sarili ng kanilang SHF at magkaroon na po kami ng proper financing analysis kung magkano po yung talagang kailangan.

756
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para talagang ma-achieve po yung universal healthcare.

757
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,720
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Thank you, Secretary.

758
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:26,660
Senator Panfilo Lacson: If I may, Mr. Chairman, i-plus ko lang sa screen yung ito yung papalit-palit na yung three spending plans noong 2022.

759
00:46:27,020 --> 00:46:35,420
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ayan po, maliwanag na hindi po negligible yung mga figures. Medyo malalaki ito, mga substantial.

760
00:46:36,380 --> 00:46:43,420
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So ano yung practical purpose ng financing strategies kung palit tayo ng palit ng target?

761
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:51,260
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Or nami-miss natin yung target. So probably we may need some more serious study.

762
00:46:52,600 --> 00:47:06,200
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi kung lagi natin nami-miss yung target, para saan pa itong ating ginagawang financing strategies? Thank you.

763
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:18,980
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, sir, as of now, we are tracking our total health expenditure and siguro yung good na nangyari po is,

764
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:31,100
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: if you look at from 2022 to until now, 2025, yung share po ng PhilHealth, tumaas na po to 19% of total health expenditure.

765
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:37,220
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And the whole government share is up to 46.5%.

766
00:47:37,220 --> 00:47:44,580
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So we have actually managed to reduce out-of-pocket payment share to at 41% by end of 2025.

767
00:47:44,580 --> 00:47:48,920
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So to a certain extent, parang may malaki na yung progress.

768
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Kumpara sa 10 years ago, that that's around 55%.

769
00:47:52,500 --> 00:48:00,220
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: But Sen, we agree with you po that we have to recalibrate this kasi every three years nagbabago.

770
00:48:00,220 --> 00:48:16,220
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: But we are now following the PDP plan, which has a target of reducing our OOP to 37% by 2028.

771
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,700
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So 2025 at 41%.

772
00:48:18,700 --> 00:48:19,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2022.

773
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,560
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2028 at 37%.

774
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:27,220
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And kung ipa-follow po natin yung initial projections dito po sa PDP,

775
00:48:27,700 --> 00:48:34,180
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: that amount should be at around 639 billion.

776
00:48:34,180 --> 00:48:39,360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So medyo aligned naman po sa number na ito, mas mataas lang po ng konti.

777
00:48:39,740 --> 00:48:43,880
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So sir, yun po yung target namin po ni SEC na ma-achieve po.

778
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:44,320
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Thank you.

779
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:44,580
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Thank you.

780
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,340
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pakibalik lang yung table doon sa CHE.

781
00:48:48,340 --> 00:48:51,040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Current health expenditure kanina.

782
00:48:52,040 --> 00:49:00,080
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung, of course, maganda accomplishment, kasi malaki yung nabawas doon sa out-of-pocket yung household out-of-pocket payment.

783
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,320
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Nasa 41.2%.

784
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,860
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Dati po ba, ilang percent ito?

785
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Sir, 10 years ago, this was at 55%.

786
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:09,560
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 55.

787
00:49:10,540 --> 00:49:12,560
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero ako gusto ko lang ma-educate.

788
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:17,700
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi pag sinabi natin government schemes and compulsory contributory health care,

789
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:21,040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: financing schemes at 46%,

790
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,940
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ano po ba ito?

791
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:29,100
Senator Panfilo Lacson: What would constitute itong schemes na ito?

792
00:49:29,740 --> 00:49:34,400
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, it's national government spend, local government spend, and PhilHealth po.

793
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:39,580
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasama na rito yung mga earmark na naka-incorporate sa GAA.

794
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,580
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi doon sa latest Supreme Court ruling,

795
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,680
Senator Panfilo Lacson: while naka-earmark ito sa Department of Health,

796
00:49:47,700 --> 00:49:51,780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: hindi naman ito actually, pero nasa GAA yan, nakapasok.

797
00:49:52,020 --> 00:49:55,040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So kasama rin ito dito sa 805 billion.

798
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:56,400
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Lahat-lahat yan.

799
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,260
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Including the National Expenditure Program na naging GAA.

800
00:50:03,020 --> 00:50:06,220
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So sa tingin ko po, hindi masyadong, sa akin lang,

801
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,340
Senator Panfilo Lacson: yung misleading may be a wrong word,

802
00:50:09,460 --> 00:50:14,980
Senator Panfilo Lacson: but for the lack of a better word, I will just use it na misleading.

803
00:50:14,980 --> 00:50:16,780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Parang, okay.

804
00:50:17,700 --> 00:50:24,020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 46.5%, pero ito yung contributory health care financing schemes ng gobyerno.

805
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:30,280
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero masyadong bloated, ikanga, kasi kasama na dyan yung PS.

806
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:31,940
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Lahat-lahat eh, di ba?

807
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:37,420
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi pag sinabi nating General Appropriations Act na ito yung items under the DOH budget,

808
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,720
Senator Panfilo Lacson: pagka nilimit lang natin sa health care program,

809
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,800
Senator Panfilo Lacson: lilit yung 46.5.

810
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:46,960
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Hindi po ba?

811
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:53,320
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So ang target natin actually is to reduce further the household out-of-pocket.

812
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:54,140
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ito yung masakit eh.

813
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,360
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ito yung target ng UHC.

814
00:50:57,060 --> 00:50:59,920
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung out-of-pocket talaga, halos, huwag naman masiro.

815
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Palagay ko, hindi natin kaya in our lifetime.

816
00:51:02,460 --> 00:51:06,140
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero medyo mataas pa yung 41.2%.

817
00:51:06,140 --> 00:51:10,300
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung voluntary health care payment schemes, partly government din ito eh.

818
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,400
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Like in the Senate, meron kaming Kaiser, government funds din eh.

819
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:15,960
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung pambayad ng premium.

820
00:51:16,580 --> 00:51:17,520
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ang siguro,

821
00:51:17,700 --> 00:51:20,900
Senator Panfilo Lacson: papupuwera lang dito yung mga corporations, private corporations,

822
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:26,900
Senator Panfilo Lacson: na meron silang sariling health benefits sa kanilang mga employees, sa kanilang mga staff.

823
00:51:27,780 --> 00:51:28,940
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, yun.

824
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,820
Senator Panfilo Lacson: I'd like to think na hindi, in practical terms,

825
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,360
Senator Panfilo Lacson: hindi ito talagang ganung ka-accurate, yung 46.5.

826
00:51:40,740 --> 00:51:41,080
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Now,

827
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,320
Senator Panfilo Lacson: anyway, yung mga earmarks, ano,

828
00:51:46,740 --> 00:51:47,680
Senator Panfilo Lacson: marami tayong mga,

829
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:48,920
Senator Panfilo Lacson: mga specials na naipasa.

830
00:51:49,780 --> 00:51:53,000
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Gusto ko lang pong makakita ng medyo accurate, no?

831
00:51:53,140 --> 00:51:55,900
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Maski mga ballpark lang, hindi naman talaga detalyado.

832
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,640
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Accounting ng mga funding source para sa UHC.

833
00:52:01,180 --> 00:52:02,540
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Like, for example, ano,

834
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: yung total incremental sin tax collection,

835
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,360
Senator Panfilo Lacson: RA 10351, 2012 pa ito.

836
00:52:10,860 --> 00:52:14,880
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Tapos inamento ng tobacco tax law 2019, and so forth.

837
00:52:15,380 --> 00:52:17,680
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 50% nung national government,

838
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:20,460
Senator Panfilo Lacson: government share from the income ng PAGCOR,

839
00:52:20,980 --> 00:52:22,780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: dyan din, naka-earmark din sa UHC.

840
00:52:23,460 --> 00:52:24,600
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, meron po ba tayo?

841
00:52:24,700 --> 00:52:28,040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Para lang magkaroon kami ng idea, kasi we're talking of the budget,

842
00:52:28,260 --> 00:52:30,120
Senator Panfilo Lacson: and these are, you know,

843
00:52:30,780 --> 00:52:34,060
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ang source nito talaga hindi naman revenues ng government,

844
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,460
Senator Panfilo Lacson: kundi earmarks ito,

845
00:52:37,060 --> 00:52:40,780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: plus galing sa GOCC like PAGCOR, PCSO,

846
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,000
Senator Panfilo Lacson: and so forth and so on.

847
00:52:43,380 --> 00:52:44,880
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, meron po ba tayo yung ano nito?

848
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:46,860
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Konting detalya lang.

849
00:52:53,910 --> 00:52:57,950
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Share for PAGCOR and PCSO,

850
00:52:58,550 --> 00:53:01,430
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: based on our records,

851
00:53:01,730 --> 00:53:07,250
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the total that we should be able to claim from 2019

852
00:53:07,250 --> 00:53:10,610
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: up to Q2 of 2026 should be

853
00:53:10,610 --> 00:53:14,550
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: P127.55 billion po.

854
00:53:15,830 --> 00:53:16,930
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 2019 to?

855
00:53:17,350 --> 00:53:18,330
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2026.

856
00:53:18,490 --> 00:53:19,190
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 2026.

857
00:53:19,590 --> 00:53:19,870
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Opo.

858
00:53:19,870 --> 00:53:23,090
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then there was appropriation in,

859
00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:27,430
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fiscal year 2023 GAA of 21 billion,

860
00:53:28,070 --> 00:53:32,410
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and fiscal year 2024 GAA of 21 billion.

861
00:53:32,830 --> 00:53:36,090
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, for both of this, we have SARO already, but no.

862
00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:39,050
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yeah, ang problema is naka-earmark,

863
00:53:39,990 --> 00:53:42,190
Senator Panfilo Lacson: nare-release ba talaga yung total amount na naka-earmark?

864
00:53:42,250 --> 00:53:43,450
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yun ang problema natin.

865
00:53:44,350 --> 00:53:47,010
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi on paper, magandang pakinggan yung,

866
00:53:47,590 --> 00:53:49,470
Senator Panfilo Lacson: eto yung 50% component

867
00:53:49,470 --> 00:53:53,690
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ng national government share, ano, from PAGCOR.

868
00:53:53,910 --> 00:53:57,710
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero yung, in real terms, yung nominal figure

869
00:53:57,710 --> 00:54:00,850
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ng 50% ng share ng government,

870
00:54:01,810 --> 00:54:03,550
Senator Panfilo Lacson: eh, dapat mapunta sa PAGCOR.

871
00:54:04,010 --> 00:54:06,070
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 50% ba talaga napunta sa PAGCOR?

872
00:54:06,230 --> 00:54:09,730
Senator Panfilo Lacson: I mean, sorry, sa DOH or sa universal healthcare.

873
00:54:10,770 --> 00:54:11,610
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ano yung gap?

874
00:54:11,910 --> 00:54:15,430
Senator Panfilo Lacson: From all these special laws na naipasa,

875
00:54:15,870 --> 00:54:17,470
Senator Panfilo Lacson: na naka-earmark dapat sa DOH.

876
00:54:17,570 --> 00:54:19,610
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Of course, you understand na ito,

877
00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:21,670
Senator Panfilo Lacson: sa buong GAA ito pinapasok, hindi ba?

878
00:54:21,670 --> 00:54:23,830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: And you're dependent,

879
00:54:23,830 --> 00:54:25,210
Senator Panfilo Lacson: you're dependent on the DBM.

880
00:54:26,030 --> 00:54:29,250
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kung magkano yung maibibigay lang para sa UHC?

881
00:54:29,850 --> 00:54:31,830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Actually, Senator Lacson, with your indulgence,

882
00:54:31,950 --> 00:54:35,290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we asked this also during the DBCC.

883
00:54:36,230 --> 00:54:37,910
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung po mga earmarked funds,

884
00:54:38,110 --> 00:54:41,050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: please give us also your own record

885
00:54:41,050 --> 00:54:42,290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that we can reconcile.

886
00:54:42,870 --> 00:54:44,730
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi may mga, alam ko,

887
00:54:45,030 --> 00:54:47,750
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mataas yung receivable, supposedly,

888
00:54:48,470 --> 00:54:51,510
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ng PhilHealth for the implementation of UHC.

889
00:54:51,510 --> 00:54:53,290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For some reason,

890
00:54:53,830 --> 00:54:57,590
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: parin nila sinasagot bakit hindi nire-remit yung buo

891
00:54:57,590 --> 00:54:59,950
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: dahil these are earmarked funds, no?

892
00:55:00,410 --> 00:55:02,050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And they cannot use this for any purpose.

893
00:55:02,190 --> 00:55:02,410
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro,

894
00:55:03,190 --> 00:55:05,890
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doc Bev,

895
00:55:06,110 --> 00:55:08,450
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pakian na lang kung ilan po yung sa records po ng PhilHealth

896
00:55:08,450 --> 00:55:09,350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that we can reconcile

897
00:55:09,350 --> 00:55:13,310
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and probably pag bumalik yun sa DOF or DBM,

898
00:55:13,470 --> 00:55:16,350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we can reconcile.

899
00:55:16,950 --> 00:55:18,570
Senator Panfilo Lacson: This is where we can help you, no?

900
00:55:19,250 --> 00:55:20,830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi ito yung oversight namin eh.

901
00:55:20,830 --> 00:55:22,830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kung hindi nagko-comply yung DBM,

902
00:55:23,830 --> 00:55:25,510
Senator Panfilo Lacson: kasi covered ng batas,

903
00:55:25,710 --> 00:55:28,270
Senator Panfilo Lacson: earmarked para sa DOH, para sa UHC,

904
00:55:28,630 --> 00:55:30,130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: tapos hindi naman binibigay sa inyo.

905
00:55:30,730 --> 00:55:34,130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: This is where our oversight function comes in or kicks in.

906
00:55:34,750 --> 00:55:37,030
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, yun lang muna, Mr. Chairman,

907
00:55:37,190 --> 00:55:38,830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: para we can give...

908
00:55:39,770 --> 00:55:42,290

922
00:56:10,530 --> 00:56:11,830

923
00:56:11,830 --> 00:56:14,830

924
00:56:14,830 --> 00:56:17,050

932
00:56:29,630 --> 00:56:32,470

933
00:56:33,110 --> 00:56:35,890
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: lagi kong tinatanong yung mga gamot na nag-expire.

934
00:56:37,250 --> 00:56:39,790

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: and then sinusolido yung gamot

937
00:56:44,310 --> 00:56:47,810
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: at pinapalitan ng bago.

938
00:56:48,410 --> 00:56:50,510
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yun po ay pawang kasinungalingan

939
00:56:50,510 --> 00:56:53,510
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: dahil meron po akong proof na binabaon.

940
00:56:53,630 --> 00:56:55,430
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: In fact, diyan pinabaon palagi sa TALA.

949
00:57:17,250 --> 00:57:20,750
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napakarami mga kababayan nating mahihirap

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: problem.

1034
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:36,840
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Mag-umpisa ko kasi yan,

1035
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:37,420
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: doon sa

1036
00:59:37,420 --> 00:59:40,120
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: planning and forecasting

1037
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,240
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: from our

1038
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,060
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: mga program managers,

1039
00:59:43,500 --> 00:59:44,140
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: and then,

1040
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:45,400
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: doon sa procurement,

1041
00:59:45,980 --> 00:59:46,580
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: tapos yung sa

1042
00:59:46,580 --> 00:59:48,780
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: supply chain and delivery.

1043
00:59:49,340 --> 00:59:49,520
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: So,

1044
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:51,240
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: kung ano ho yung ating

1045
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:51,880
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: bibilhin

1046
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:53,300
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: ng mga commodities,

1047
00:59:53,900 --> 00:59:54,080
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: eh,

1048
00:59:54,180 --> 00:59:55,600
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: ang mga program managers po,

1049
00:59:55,660 --> 00:59:56,460
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: nagpa-plano yun,

1050
00:59:56,740 --> 00:59:58,300
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: meron pong forecasting po yan,

1051
00:59:58,540 --> 00:59:59,500
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: may formula po.

1052
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,520
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Pero yung ating mga kasing formula, based po yun kung everything goes on smoothly.

1053
01:00:07,220 --> 01:00:08,460
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Okay, so meron po yan.

1054
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:13,220
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: And then, yung ating pong budget preparation po, di ho ba, is one year before.

1055
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:18,240
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: But then, kung halimbawa, nagkaroon ng delay sa procurement,

1056
01:00:18,860 --> 01:00:21,720
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: o kaya meron mga nag-bibid failure, hindi na bili,

1057
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:27,680
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: so sisira na po yung ating mga naplano po na dapat bilhin.

1058
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:34,640
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Okay, so nagkakapatong-patong minsan sa isang taon na meron yung na out of stock

1059
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,220
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: kasi hindi nga nabili, yung na-forecast na kailangan,

1060
01:00:38,580 --> 01:00:43,580
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: or kung doon sa susunod na taon nabili, nagpapatong-patong po.

1061
01:00:43,940 --> 01:00:48,760
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Tapos kung hindi rin po maayos yung ating inventory system

1062
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:53,680
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: na hindi po nakikita yung kung ano yung actual na doon sa baba.

1063
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:57,680
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Parang, ayoko po mapakinggan kasi parang pambubunan.

1064
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,720
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Hindi po, I'll tell it to the Marines, ika nga, baka sabihin nyo sa pagong.

1065
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:05,720
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napakatagal na po every year, hindi nyo pa rin po ma-perfect yung system.

1066
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,840
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At saka yung sinasabi nyo, hindi na po forecast, hindi na po plano, hindi po wrong.

1067
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:11,740
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tinatambak nyo lang po sa warehouse.

1068
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:16,600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kasi nga po, bumibili kayo ng mga gamot na about to expire.

1069
01:01:17,420 --> 01:01:21,640
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sandali lang po, about to expire dahil meron kayong pinapaboran na supplier

1070
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,000
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: at yung mga supplier na yun, nagbibigay po ng kickback.

1071
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,620
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tinatambak po dyan sa warehouse.

1072
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,640
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Every year, kasi yung mga sinasabi nyo po ma'am,

1073
01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:35,660
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: okay, sige, tanggapin ko yan for the first year, for the second year, pwede pa,

1074
01:01:35,780 --> 01:01:39,960
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: pero third, fourth, fifth year, sixth year, ganoon pa rin, come on.

1075
01:01:40,420 --> 01:01:41,120
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nagluloko na tayo.

1076
01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:45,680
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tapos, sinasabi nyo pa na yung gamot na nag-expire, binabalik niyo supplier.

1077
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At yung supplier nagbibigay ng bagong gamot.

1078
01:01:50,420 --> 01:01:51,320
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nasaan ang resibo?

1079
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:52,340
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Show us.

1080
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,560
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Yun pong, hindi po ako version of ang sabi nyo.

1081
01:01:56,660 --> 01:01:57,240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Pakisagot lang po.

1082
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Meron pa kayo may pakitang resibo na yung mga expired na gamot.

1083
01:02:00,340 --> 01:02:03,820
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sinasabi nyo doon sa tuwing hearing na tinatanong ko sa inyo na ibinabalik yung supplier.

1084
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At that yung supplier, pinapalit ka ng bago.

1085
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,720
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And is that stipulated po yung sa contract?

1086
01:02:09,180 --> 01:02:12,220
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Sir, yung pong binabalik, kasi meron pong kwano eh.

1087
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:18,320
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Pag bumibili kami yung gamot, dapat upon delivery, 18 months yung shelf life niya.

1088
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:18,900
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Okay.

1089
01:02:19,260 --> 01:02:24,860
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Ngayon, minsan po, kasi for several reasons, medyo bumababa doon sa 18 months.

1090
01:02:24,860 --> 01:02:26,860
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Sabihin na nyo natin, 15 months upon delivery.

1091
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:37,600
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: At tinatanggap po yun, pero meron pong parang guarantee letter po na kinukuha from the supplier na kapag near 6 months na po siya papalitan.

1092
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:38,280
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ma'am, sorry ma'am.

1093
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,060
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I've heard that so many times.

1094
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:42,600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Umulit-ulit na lang tayo.

1095
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:54,340
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Doon na lang po tayo sa nag-expired na gamot na prinami sa amin, sinabi sa akin, ilang beses sa hearing dito, maging doon sa plenary, na isinosolidaw yun.

1096
01:02:54,340 --> 01:02:55,800
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Huwag kayong mag-alalasin.

1097
01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:02,060
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dahil yung mga gamot na nag-expired, hindi naman tayo lugi dyan dahil sinusolid po namin yan at pinapalitan naman po yan.

1098
01:03:02,460 --> 01:03:06,140
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nasaan po yung mga dokumento? Huwag naman kayong magpaliwanag. Nagpapaikot-ikot lang tayo rito.

1099
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:07,080
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Opo, pasensya naman po.

1100
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:15,300
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nasaan ang resibo na yun ay sinuli, yung mga nag-expired na sinasabi nyo by the hundreds of millions na pinapalitan?

1101
01:03:16,380 --> 01:03:19,160
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Okay. Maybe we can request yung...

1102
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:20,000
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I need the receipts.

1103
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,060
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I need the receipts. Give this committee a resibo.

1104
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:22,580
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Opo.

1105
01:03:22,580 --> 01:03:25,480
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At saka tingnan natin yung contract right now. Give us the contract.

1106
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,640
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I-stipulate ba doon na ibabalik yung mga na-expired? Does it say there?

1107
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:45,660
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Hindi po ako aware doon sa ibinabalik na nag-expired. Yun lang pong near expiry ang alam po namin na nasa TOR na kailangan po nilang palitan bago mag-expired.

1108
01:03:45,860 --> 01:03:49,480
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Pero yung expired, hindi po kami aware namin.

1109
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,140
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sinabi po yun na yung nag-expired. Huwag daw mag-alala.

1110
01:03:53,660 --> 01:03:55,780
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And then ma'am, Secretary?

1111
01:03:55,800 --> 01:04:07,180
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Secretary Mercado, I hope under your watch, hindi na mangyari ito. Okay lang siguro kung 1 million, 2 million, 10 million, pero hundreds of millions.

1112
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:19,100
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: But nababasura lang, nababaon lang sa lupa. Billions pa this year. Ilan po ang nag-expired, Secretary Mercado, itong 2026?

1113
01:04:20,300 --> 01:04:24,360
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Magkano pong halaga ng nag-expired na binauna naman sa lupa?

1114
01:04:27,210 --> 01:04:33,850
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Magkakalagay po dito sa aking data spot. For 2025, expired stocks were about 217 million.

1115
01:04:34,170 --> 01:04:36,550
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And the near expiry is 477 million.

1116
01:04:36,870 --> 01:04:43,800
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yan na naman yung pera ng taong bahay na nasayang na ibinaon sa lupa. Hindi po ba?

1117
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:50,180
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At huwag nyo na pong sabihin sa amin ngayon, dahil mag-iinit lang ulo namin na yun po ibinabalik.

1118
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,660
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Hindi po, yan po ibinabasura.

1119
01:04:53,220 --> 01:04:57,720
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ayun ang may ebidensya. Kung gusto nyo, pumunta tayo sa Tala. Maghukay tayo doon. Andoon.

1120
01:04:59,100 --> 01:05:05,940
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Baka sa compound na yun, punong-puno ng mga nababaon na gamot. Dapat meron pong managot dito.

1121
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:08,840
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat hindi na po ito maulit.

1122
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:15,800
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So can you guarantee us na meron kayong pag-iisipang sistema na maayos?

1123
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,760
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kasi antagal na eh, di ba? Na hindi na tayo magkaka-expire na gamot.

1124
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,280
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sa ibang bansa, it doesn't happen.

1125
01:05:22,420 --> 01:05:24,980
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Hindi nangyari ito. Sinignan ko, Singapore, wala.

1126
01:05:24,980 --> 01:05:34,600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nag-expire Singapore, pero yung mga outdated ng mga gamot, halimbawa COVID, naubos na, tapos na, o din-dispose of nila.

1127
01:05:34,700 --> 01:05:39,340
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Pero hindi by the hundreds of millions. One million Singapore dollars, ganun lang.

1128
01:05:40,180 --> 01:05:43,040
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sa atin, hundreds of millions and billions pa.

1129
01:05:45,230 --> 01:05:47,190
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So talagang very clear, may corruption po dito.

1130
01:05:48,750 --> 01:05:50,590
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Siguro, maganda yung blue ribbon to.

1131
01:05:51,890 --> 01:05:53,830
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Because it's been happening every year.

1132
01:05:53,830 --> 01:05:57,590
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Siguro, Senping, i-blue ribbon po siguro natin to.

1133
01:05:57,930 --> 01:06:04,110
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Mr. Chairman, with the indulgence of, with the permission of Sen. Tulfo, can we go back further in time, ano?

1134
01:06:04,950 --> 01:06:14,630
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 2024, 2023, 2022, kung meron kayong datas, magkano pa yung yearly na nag-expire na tinatapo natin?

1135
01:06:15,150 --> 01:06:17,210
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Para na ma-appreciate namin better.

1136
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,880
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Eto, Senping, Senping, I have this.

1137
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:31,260
Senator Panfilo Lacson: For the record, ma'am.

1138
01:06:31,780 --> 01:06:33,540
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sige, mas maganda, magaling po sa inyo.

1139
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,440
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sige, kunin nyo lang, pagpapawisang kayo.

1140
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:51,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, just ano, with the indulgence of Sen. Turtulpo, itong ano na talagang year-in, year-out talagang problema, itong procurement, yung mga expiring medicines, sayang din, ilang dang milyon.

1141
01:06:51,940 --> 01:06:55,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, if we can deduce away a system, na sinasabing yung Sen. Turtulpo.

1142
01:06:56,120 --> 01:07:06,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Meron po kasi, alam sa amin, may mga local LGUs that now have, meron silang entity.

1143
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na prescription-based. Pero mahirap kasi sa DOH yun.

1144
01:07:11,260 --> 01:07:17,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi meron tayong, ano, yung mga health centers.

1145
01:07:17,420 --> 01:07:23,760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero sa kanila, hindi sila bumibili na ng maramihan, ng volume.

1146
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because kung ano lang yung na-prescribe, that's the only medicines they pay.

1147
01:07:28,060 --> 01:07:32,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So probably that's one option dun po sa mga local and provincial.

1148
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But I don't know with DOH kung paano po pwedeng gawing sistema.

1149
01:07:35,620 --> 01:07:37,360
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tata mo.

1150
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:42,600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So, Sen. JB, Mr. Chair, hindi ko makalimutan yun.

1151
01:07:42,700 --> 01:07:46,640
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I went to an island somewhere in Bohol a few years ago.

1152
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,340
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And nilapitan ako ng barangay chairwoman nila.

1153
01:07:50,940 --> 01:07:53,380
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At sinasabi niya, wala rin nakakarating na gamot sa kanila.

1154
01:07:54,540 --> 01:07:55,560
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napakinggan yung hearing.

1155
01:07:56,080 --> 01:08:02,260
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sir, nagulat kami nung mapakinggan namin na daan-daan milyon ang nage-expire na gamot.

1156
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,200
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Samantalang sa amin, wala po nakakarating.

1157
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,680
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Paano kayo nag-procure ng gamot?

1158
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:08,940
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Contribute po kami. Kami-kami.

1159
01:08:09,140 --> 01:08:09,900
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nag-aambag-ambag.

1160
01:08:10,020 --> 01:08:11,740
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kasi walang dumarating sa health center namin.

1161
01:08:11,900 --> 01:08:14,660
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kung meron man, kunti-kunti.

1162
01:08:14,820 --> 01:08:15,760
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And about to expire.

1163
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:17,180
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Di po ba nakakaya yun?

1164
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,120
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Not only that yung Prambola, kundi sa iba-iba pang mga health centers,

1165
01:08:20,220 --> 01:08:23,860
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: barangay health centers nationwide, na kulang sa gamot.

1166
01:08:25,060 --> 01:08:27,560
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kulang sa, especially sa mga maintenance na gamot.

1167
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,040
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Maski na mga simple lang na mga paracetamol.

1168
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:31,860
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Wala.

1169
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:33,900
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Di ba?

1170
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:35,060
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And yet,

1171
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:37,420
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: every single year,

1172
01:08:37,440 --> 01:08:38,540
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: by the hundreds of millions,

1173
01:08:38,620 --> 01:08:39,660
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: meron pa nga billions eh.

1174
01:08:40,580 --> 01:08:41,100
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Billion.

1175
01:08:42,380 --> 01:08:43,220
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: 11, oh see?

1176
01:08:43,620 --> 01:08:45,620
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: 11 billion pesos

1177
01:08:45,620 --> 01:08:46,880
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ibinaon sa lupa.

1178
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:48,840
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: 2023,

1179
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:50,600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: pang magkita ng expired na gamot.

1180
01:08:50,940 --> 01:08:51,940
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat dyan may makulong.

1181
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:53,480
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat dyan may mapugutan ng ulo eh.

1182
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,280
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napaka-skandaloso yung amount na yan.

1183
01:08:57,740 --> 01:08:58,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po.

1184
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, if I may po.

1185
01:09:01,380 --> 01:09:02,100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang mga,

1186
01:09:02,860 --> 01:09:05,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: before I go to the expired meds nga po,

1187
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:06,020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: may datos na kami.

1188
01:09:06,020 --> 01:09:07,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero ang una po namin,

1189
01:09:07,440 --> 01:09:08,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung pinag-aaralan,

1190
01:09:08,440 --> 01:09:11,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay parang yung nabanggit ni Sen. JV.

1191
01:09:11,620 --> 01:09:12,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Talagang palakasin yung gamot

1192
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para doon napadaanin.

1193
01:09:14,460 --> 01:09:17,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At yung nakalaang budget

1194
01:09:17,220 --> 01:09:19,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para dito sa commodities,

1733
01:22:29,210 --> 01:22:33,370

01:22:33,370 --> 01:22:34,190
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: waste aid

1735
01:22:34,190 --> 01:22:35,010
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng

1736
01:22:35,010 --> 01:22:36,010
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: medicines

1737
01:22:36,010 --> 01:22:37,010
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kasi

1738
01:22:37,010 --> 01:22:45,100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I want to correlate this also sa immunization.

1739
01:22:47,500 --> 01:22:53,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: First of all, pala kay Secretary, good morning, Secretary, and congratulations also.

01:22:53,500 --> 01:22:55,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to Beverly, congratulations.

1741
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:57,600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I would like to

1742
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: put on record na si Secretary

1743
01:22:59,540 --> 01:23:01,060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mercado nung nasa PhilHealth,

1744
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: he was very generous with his time

1745
01:23:03,580 --> 01:23:05,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in briefing us. I think we met two or

1746
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:06,980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: three times to

1747
01:23:06,980 --> 01:23:08,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: brief us on

1748
01:23:08,460 --> 01:23:11,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the activities and the goals of PhilHealth.

1749
01:23:12,020 --> 01:23:13,720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I really appreciate that because

1750
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:14,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang

1751
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: public health and also

1752
01:23:17,340 --> 01:23:21,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: universal health care is a very complicated

1753
01:23:21,580 --> 01:23:22,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and costly

1754
01:23:22,420 --> 01:23:25,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: endeavor so we really appreciate

1755
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:27,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: you making effort for us

1756
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:28,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to understand it

1757
01:23:28,420 --> 01:23:31,500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so I'll go to my first topic

1758
01:23:31,500 --> 01:23:32,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in immunization

1759
01:23:32,420 --> 01:23:35,600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and I'll flash on the screen

1760
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:48,540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So yung ating budget, Secretary, tumataas siya over the years.

1761
01:23:51,140 --> 01:23:55,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Total budget is about 7.9 billion pesos.

1762
01:23:56,260 --> 01:24:00,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For the first 1,000 days, it's about 4.9 billion pesos.

1763
01:24:00,940 --> 01:24:02,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This report is from EDCOM.

1764
01:24:02,740 --> 01:24:12,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We have an education commission dito na tinututukan yung health ng bata including the first 1,000 days kasi alam natin formative.

1765
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:19,960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pero despite the increase in budget, nakikita namin na yung coverage is only 65%.

1766
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:25,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Of course, in a perfect world, lahat dapat covered, lalo na yung first 1,000 days.

1767
01:24:27,780 --> 01:24:30,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Dapat non-negotiable yung first 1,000 days.

1768
01:24:30,220 --> 01:24:34,960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'm sure you know na pag lumampas ng 4 or 5 years old, irreversible na yan.

1769
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:41,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then the next slide, Table 3, Alena.

1770
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:52,160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Merong seven different types of vaccines and medicines na binibigay.

1771
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:57,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: At nakita namin na mataasing wastage rate.

1772
01:24:58,260 --> 01:25:00,160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About 590 million.

1773
01:25:00,220 --> 01:25:01,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang wastage rate.

1774
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:03,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So different.

1775
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:10,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Iba-iba yung mga wastage rates ng iba't-ibang vaccines.

1776
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:16,500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pero ang total yan, this is only for 2025, is about 500 million.

1777
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:18,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 590 million to be exact.

1778
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:28,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So the point I'm trying to make is only 60% of our first 1,000 days na bibigyan ng immunization.

1779
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:30,160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And yet,

1780
01:25:30,220 --> 01:25:32,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: maraming wastage ang nangyayari.

1781
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:37,000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About half a billion pesos ang nasasayang.

1782
01:25:37,660 --> 01:25:41,680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kung nabigay natin yung half a billion pesos doon sa mga batang yun,

1783
01:25:42,380 --> 01:25:50,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: obviously, baka ma-70%, 80% ng mga bata ang ma-immunize natin at mabibigyan ng vaccines.

1784
01:25:51,500 --> 01:25:52,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So may I get a comment?

1785
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:54,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I know this is beyond your time.

1786
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Natanong na ni Senator Rafi kanina.

1787
01:25:57,180 --> 01:25:59,180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I just want to flag,

1788
01:26:00,220 --> 01:26:02,620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the new secretary, the new team,

1789
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: na merong ganitong problema tayo.

1790
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I'm very concerned with the first 1,000 days nga.

1791
01:26:08,980 --> 01:26:12,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because kahit anong investment natin sa education,

1792
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:17,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kung papasok sila na stunted, wasted, underweight,

1793
01:26:18,100 --> 01:26:20,060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ano na eh, tapos na yung boxing eh.

1794
01:26:20,380 --> 01:26:23,040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi na sila makaka-recover.

1795
01:26:23,220 --> 01:26:25,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I want to ask the secretary,

1796
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ano ba yung plano natin to avoid such a wastage?

1797
01:26:29,260 --> 01:26:31,100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Na pag-usapan niyo kanina.

1798
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:37,700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But in this particular case, ano ba yung plano ng bagong team to avoid this type of wastage?

1799
01:26:37,860 --> 01:26:42,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Considering na marami tayong bata na dapat bigyan ng vaccines.

1800
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,120
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

1801
01:26:46,260 --> 01:26:51,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi lang po pag na newborn, kundi ang ginagawa po natin ngayon,

1802
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:55,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: even during the pregnancy stage, kinacapture na po natin.

1803
01:26:55,180 --> 01:26:59,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun nga po yung pinalawig o expanded maternal care package ng PhilHealth.

1804
01:26:59,260 --> 01:27:02,000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Na kung saan po covered yung 8 prenatal.

1805
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:07,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasama po dyan yung monitoring ng growth ng bata, even intrauterine.

1806
01:27:07,860 --> 01:27:11,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung mismong panganak, whether it's CS or it's normal delivery.

1807
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:17,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At yung 4 pong postnatal or postpartum.

1808
01:27:18,100 --> 01:27:21,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ang ano po namin, itatahi namin yung first 1,000 day.

1809
01:27:22,060 --> 01:27:25,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At parang i-facilitate namin.

1810
01:27:25,180 --> 01:27:29,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po once nagpanganak po yung ating bata,

1811
01:27:29,260 --> 01:27:31,940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: meron na pong PhilHealth ID number yan.

1812
01:27:32,060 --> 01:27:34,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po naggagawa tayo ng newborn screening eh.

1813
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So itatahi na rin po natin na ma-register sa YACAP.

1814
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At para po doon sa YACAP Clinic of Choice po nila,

1815
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:44,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: may care coordinator na babantayan po kung nabakunahan,

1816
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:47,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung yung growth chart ay nagagawa.

1817
01:27:47,540 --> 01:27:51,300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At kami po ay gumagawa po ng care coordinator top-up

1818
01:27:51,300 --> 01:27:53,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para ma-incentivize po yung mga YACAP Clinic

1819
01:27:53,540 --> 01:27:57,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na gawin po yung monitoring at tiyakin yung mga bata ay nababakunahan.

1820
01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At kami naman po sa DOH,

1821
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:03,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay mag-i-integrate sa PhilHealth para nga po yung kanilang YACAP Clinics

1822
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay mababaan namin ng mga bakuna.

1823
01:28:05,940 --> 01:28:08,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dapat po tayo mismo yung humahalugad eh.

1824
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi yung mga pupunta lang ng RHU,

1825
01:28:10,700 --> 01:28:17,160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: minsan po may mga balakid o may mga issues pa ng vaccine hesitancy ngayon

1826
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:24,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na hopefully ma-address natin by our promotive and health literacy and education

1827
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: doon pa lang po sa YACAP Primary Care Clinics.

1828
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So itatahi po natin yung programa.

1829
01:28:29,260 --> 01:28:30,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para hindi po siya siloed.

1830
01:28:31,440 --> 01:28:33,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At hopefully nga po yung first 1,000 day,

1831
01:28:33,620 --> 01:28:36,280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mababa lang, mataas po natin yung vaccination rate,

1832
01:28:36,780 --> 01:28:38,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mababa po natin yung stunting rate.

1833
01:28:38,980 --> 01:28:41,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para pag pumasok na po doon sa preschool,

1834
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: medyo bawas po yung problema maghahabol tayo

1835
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:48,100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na tsaka lang tayo magno-nutrition supplement.

1836
01:28:48,740 --> 01:28:50,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Lalo na po pag pumasok ng DepEd,

1837
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:55,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: tatrack po natin yan hanggang maging nasa health workforce na po.

1838
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:58,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun naman po yung empanelment ng ating mga DOLE.

1839
01:28:59,260 --> 01:29:03,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun po yung plano namin, Sen.

1840
01:29:04,140 --> 01:29:08,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Tahiin po natin lahat through the initial touch point which will be YACAP.

1841
01:29:09,580 --> 01:29:14,620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, PhilHealth na ang magtatrack niyan in other words?

1842
01:29:15,100 --> 01:29:22,000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: From birth all the way hanggang kailangan niya mabigyan ng vaccines and immunization.

1843
01:29:22,380 --> 01:29:23,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ganun ba yung inyong strategy?

1844
01:29:24,540 --> 01:29:28,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Meron pa naman po din pupunta mismo ng RHO.

1845
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:32,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kung ang RHO po ay isang YACAP accredited clinic, well and good.

1846
01:29:32,440 --> 01:29:35,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po maka-capture natin yung data doon sa EMR.

1847
01:29:35,900 --> 01:29:40,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya sinestrengthen nga natin yung EMR platform, yung National Health Data Repository.

1848
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero may sarili pa rin programa po ang DOH.

1849
01:29:44,260 --> 01:29:52,020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero kung ang may incentive po doon sa YACAP clinic na talagang proactively maipadala sa amin

1850
01:29:52,020 --> 01:29:58,020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: o tawagan ang DOH na magdala ng aming mga vaccines sa kanilang...

1851
01:29:58,200 --> 01:29:59,920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sa kanilang mga clinics, mas marami po.

1852
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: tayong touch points na pwedeng

1853
01:30:01,380 --> 01:30:02,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: puntahan.

1854
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:05,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: The way I understand it, at least from

1855
01:30:05,780 --> 01:30:07,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: a delivery side,

1856
01:30:09,420 --> 01:30:10,040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: gagamit

1857
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kayo ng database

1858
01:30:11,460 --> 01:30:13,720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: which is existing with

1859
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:15,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: PhilHealth, if I'm not mistaken.

1860
01:30:15,940 --> 01:30:17,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pagpanganak niya, meron na siyang PhilHealth

1861
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:19,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: number at itatrack siya

1862
01:30:19,780 --> 01:30:20,920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: all the way to

1863
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hanggat kailangan niya ng vaccination

1864
01:30:23,500 --> 01:30:25,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and immunization. Ganoon ba yung mangyayari?

1865
01:30:26,820 --> 01:30:27,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po. Kaya po

1866
01:30:27,820 --> 01:30:29,760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang objective namin, very tall

1867
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:31,920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: orders. Ayokong 80% dapat ng population

1868
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:33,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na ka-enroll na sa

1869
01:30:33,580 --> 01:30:34,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: YACAP by 2028.

1870
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:37,400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But the problem,

1871
01:30:37,900 --> 01:30:39,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary, is actually

1872
01:30:39,220 --> 01:30:41,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nakikita kong problema. I'm also

1873
01:30:41,660 --> 01:30:43,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: listening earlier. It's really your

1874
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: inventory management. I think this

1875
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:46,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is a bigger problem

1876
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:49,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in your

1877
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:50,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: management

1878
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:54,020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: issues. Nakita ko

1879
01:30:54,020 --> 01:30:55,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and I'll show you later on some of

1880
01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:57,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the inventory and execution

1881
01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: issues. But in inventory problem,

1882
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:01,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: it's something

1883
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:03,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that you need to put a lot of

1884
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:05,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: attention kasi daming perang nasasayang.

1885
01:31:06,220 --> 01:31:07,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Only on the

1886
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:10,080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: seven immunization vaccines,

1887
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:11,980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 500 billion na.

1888
01:31:12,140 --> 01:31:13,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi pa natin pinag-uusapan pa yung

1889
01:31:13,780 --> 01:31:15,800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mga ibang mga vaccines. And I hear

1890
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:17,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: this in the LGUs na

1891
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:19,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: gusto nilang mag-immunize, gusto

1892
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nilang magpa-e-vaccine yung

1893
01:31:21,740 --> 01:31:23,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kanilang mga constituents pero wala silang

1894
01:31:23,740 --> 01:31:25,800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: commodities.

1895
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:27,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Wala silang commodities.

1896
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:29,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I also,

1897
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:31,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I also suggest that

1898
01:31:31,460 --> 01:31:33,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: i-top natin yung mga LGUs.

1899
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:35,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung mga LGUs na gustong magpa-immunize,

1900
01:31:36,860 --> 01:31:37,980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: bigay lang tayo ng bigay

1901
01:31:37,980 --> 01:31:39,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: sa kanila para sila nang gumalaw

1902
01:31:39,660 --> 01:31:42,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: on the ground. Tutal, ano talaga eh,

1903
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang mga LGUs talaga ang gagalaw

1904
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:46,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: dahil sila ang merong health centers.

1905
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:47,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sila ang merong

1906
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:48,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung

1907
01:31:48,900 --> 01:31:51,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: BHWs. Sila yung

1908
01:31:51,480 --> 01:31:53,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nag-house to house. So

1909
01:31:53,440 --> 01:31:55,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mas maganda ibigay, download nilang

1910
01:31:55,460 --> 01:31:57,160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng download, based on their

1911
01:31:59,160 --> 01:31:59,720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: projected

1912
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:01,400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: relation. So that's what I suggest.

1913
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:03,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Maganda yung programa ninyo

1914
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: but yung nakikita

1915
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:07,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kong problem is inventory

1916
01:32:07,440 --> 01:32:08,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: management.

1917
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And of course, wala

1918
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:13,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: namang health, public health na walang

1919
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: medicine, walang vaccines. So

1920
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that's one thing that we need to

1921
01:32:17,300 --> 01:32:18,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: solve,

1922
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:20,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary.

1923
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:21,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po,

1924
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kaya nga po yung tinignan ko

1925
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:25,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung inventory management system.

1926
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:27,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Outdated na po at hindi daw

1927
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:29,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na may maintain. Matagal na daw pong

1928
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: hindi gano'ng nagagamit. Kaya sa'yo ko,

1929
01:32:31,480 --> 01:32:33,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yun yung una nating ayusin.

1930
01:32:33,580 --> 01:32:35,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Down to the level of the LGUs

1931
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:37,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: and RHUs. Kasi minsan po, natatrack

1932
01:32:37,540 --> 01:32:39,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: lang hanggang dun sa regional office eh.

1933
01:32:39,580 --> 01:32:41,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi down to the last mile nung

1934
01:32:41,420 --> 01:32:43,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: actual delivery nung services.

1935
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:45,620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Correct. Kasi na-point

1936
01:32:45,620 --> 01:32:47,120
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: out ito ni Senator Raffy and

1937
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:49,100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hopefully

1938
01:32:49,100 --> 01:32:51,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: under your leadership, once and for all,

1939
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:53,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: masolve na itong

1940
01:32:53,340 --> 01:32:55,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: inventory management

1941
01:32:55,740 --> 01:32:56,680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: issues natin.

1942
01:32:57,340 --> 01:32:59,380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Next is on nutrition.

1943
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:01,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And this is related

1944
01:33:01,300 --> 01:33:03,160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to the National Nutrition

1945
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:05,400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Council na makakakuha

1946
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:07,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng under

1947
01:33:07,420 --> 01:33:08,980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the 2027

1948
01:33:08,980 --> 01:33:11,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: P340 million

1949
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:13,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: pesos. Pero in

1950
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll show you a slide. In slide

1951
01:33:15,100 --> 01:33:16,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 45, Elena.

1952
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:19,600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito, tinatrack

1953
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:20,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: rin namin ito kasi sa

1954
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:22,920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: EDCOM. Na

1955
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang ating stunting

1956
01:33:25,300 --> 01:33:26,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 25% pa rin.

1957
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:28,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang ating

1958
01:33:28,340 --> 01:33:28,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ah

1959
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:32,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: underweight, 16%

1960
01:33:32,900 --> 01:33:34,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: pa rin. And then wastage

1961
01:33:34,780 --> 01:33:35,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: or wasting is

1962
01:33:35,900 --> 01:33:38,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 5%. But you have to

1963
01:33:38,660 --> 01:33:40,720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang delikado dito,

1964
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: this is 0 to 59 months.

1965
01:33:44,060 --> 01:33:44,660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So

1966
01:33:44,660 --> 01:33:46,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 0 to 5 years old to.

1967
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:48,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So in other words, 20% of our

1968
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:49,700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 0 to 5,

1969
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:52,040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: bansot or stunted.

1970
01:33:53,180 --> 01:33:54,600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And pagpasok nila

1971

1973
01:33:57,140 --> 01:33:59,060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: wala nang laban eh. Wala nang laban

1974
01:33:59,060 --> 01:34:00,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung bata. Ibig sabihin, bago pa lang

1975
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:02,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: siya pumasok sa skwalahan,

1976
01:34:02,980 --> 01:34:03,700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: talo na siya eh.

1977
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I want to ask

1978
01:34:06,820 --> 01:34:08,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the National Nutrition Council

1979
01:34:08,900 --> 01:34:11,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: who sits also

1980
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:12,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in the Early Childhood

1981
01:34:12,860 --> 01:34:14,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Council,

1982
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:16,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ano ang

1983
01:34:16,860 --> 01:34:18,820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: strategy natin dito? I don't expect

1984
01:34:18,820 --> 01:34:20,800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: DOH to feed

1985
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:22,820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: all our 0 to 5 children.

1986
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:24,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Imposible yan. The only way

1987
01:34:24,780 --> 01:34:26,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to do that is to work

1988
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:27,680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: with the LGUs.

1989
01:34:29,060 --> 01:34:31,080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kung wala yung LGU, hindi natin

1990
01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:32,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mapapakain lahat yan.

1991
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:34,920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Per year, on the average, it's about

1992
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:35,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 3 million kids.

1993
01:34:36,940 --> 01:34:39,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kung 0 to 5 yan,

1994
01:34:39,460 --> 01:34:41,400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so we're talking about more or less

1995
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:44,180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: siguro mga

1996
01:34:44,180 --> 01:34:46,620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ilan yan? Ilang bata yan?

1997
01:34:47,300 --> 01:34:48,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Siguro mga around

1998
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:50,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 30 million? 8 million?

1999
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:52,920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sorry, may mali ano ko.

2000
01:34:53,020 --> 01:34:54,380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But 8 million na bata.

2001
01:34:54,380 --> 01:34:56,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So hahanapin natin

2002
01:34:56,480 --> 01:34:57,960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung 8 million na bata na yan.

2003
01:34:59,060 --> 01:35:00,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So that is LGUs.

2004
01:35:00,440 --> 01:35:01,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I want to ask

2005
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the NNC, how do we

2006
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:06,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: once and for all resolve this?

2007
01:35:06,700 --> 01:35:08,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In fairness, bumaba tayo since

2008
01:35:08,480 --> 01:35:10,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 1989. Pero na

2009
01:35:10,440 --> 01:35:12,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nagplato tayo in the last few

2010
01:35:12,660 --> 01:35:14,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: years. But ang challenge natin

2011
01:35:14,780 --> 01:35:16,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is the goal is

2012
01:35:16,340 --> 01:35:18,500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: zero stunted, zero wasted, zero

2013
01:35:18,500 --> 01:35:20,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: underweight. So I want to hear

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: extrapolating to 2025

2114
01:38:41,220 --> 01:38:43,140

2122
01:38:57,180 --> 01:38:58,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: answer. So kung

2123
01:38:58,900 --> 01:39:01,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 8 million siya,

2124
01:39:01,820 --> 01:39:03,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 25%

2125
01:39:03,420 --> 01:39:05,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ay stunted, so about 2 million

2126
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng mga bata natin

2127
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ay bansot. That's correct, Mr. Chair.

2128
01:39:09,300 --> 01:39:11,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And that, of course, stunting is

2129
01:39:11,260 --> 01:39:12,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: also a form of malnutrition.

2130
01:39:12,980 --> 01:39:14,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In other words,

2131
01:39:15,020 --> 01:39:17,500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2 million kids

2132
01:39:17,500 --> 01:39:19,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: below 5

2133
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:21,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: years old, malnourished

2134
01:39:21,300 --> 01:39:21,540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: siya.

2135
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:24,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I really appreciate na

2136
01:39:24,740 --> 01:39:27,060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: na-recognize niyo na NCC

2137
01:39:27,060 --> 01:39:28,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is a policy and strategy

2138
01:39:28,900 --> 01:39:30,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: body

2139
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:32,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: rather than implementation.

2140
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:34,980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi maraming mga councils gusto

2141
01:39:34,980 --> 01:39:37,220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mag-implement rin, which is

2142
01:39:37,220 --> 01:39:38,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: completely wrong. Kasi

2143
01:39:38,740 --> 01:39:40,680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hindi kaya ng

2144
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: isang policymaker na siya rin

2145
01:39:43,260 --> 01:39:44,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mag-implement. So

2146
01:39:44,660 --> 01:39:47,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I do agree that

2147
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:49,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: better to

2148
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:51,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: download to the local government units,

2149
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:52,700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: better to

2150
01:39:52,700 --> 01:39:54,980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: empower the local government units,

2151
01:39:55,100 --> 01:39:56,960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: train them. I think that

2152
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:58,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is the best way to reach out.

2153
01:39:58,900 --> 01:40:00,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: To itong mga

2154
01:40:00,940 --> 01:40:03,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: tingin ko, mga last mile areas

2155
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:04,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to eh. Talagang hindi na maabot

2156
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:06,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng mga

2157
01:40:06,420 --> 01:40:09,000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ibang government facilities.

2158
01:40:09,260 --> 01:40:10,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So para maabot talaga sila.

2159
01:40:11,460 --> 01:40:12,920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then I also saw

2160
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:14,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in your NEP,

2161
01:40:15,260 --> 01:40:16,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: this is

2162
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:17,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: slide

2163
01:40:17,900 --> 01:40:19,540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 47.

2164
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:22,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Meron ako nakitang

2165
01:40:22,340 --> 01:40:24,960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: problema on how you

2166
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:26,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: also

2167
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:28,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: grade

2168
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:28,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: your

2169
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:30,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: selves and also the LGUs.

2170
01:40:31,100 --> 01:40:32,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Dito kasi sa performance

2171
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:34,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: information,

2172
01:40:34,900 --> 01:40:37,060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nakasulat dito, 96% of our

2173
01:40:37,060 --> 01:40:37,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: LGUs

2174
01:40:37,860 --> 01:40:40,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hit a score

2175
01:40:40,900 --> 01:40:42,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: of 85%

2176
01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:44,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: pagdating sa seal of quality

2177
01:40:44,480 --> 01:40:46,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nutrition program. But obviously,

2178
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:51,160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kung meron tayong

2179
01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:52,400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: dalawang milyong batang

2180
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:54,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: malnourish,

2181
01:40:54,900 --> 01:40:56,400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in LGUs natin, it's not

2182
01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:57,680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: also

2183
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: pushing themselves to reach

2184
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:02,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: a better score.

2185
01:41:02,740 --> 01:41:05,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I urge you to

2186
01:41:05,460 --> 01:41:07,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: look at this. I don't believe

2187
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:09,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that 96%, 85%

2188
01:41:09,660 --> 01:41:10,520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang kanilang

2189
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:12,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nari-reach. I think

2190
01:41:12,900 --> 01:41:15,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: we need to be realistic kasi that's

2191
01:41:15,460 --> 01:41:17,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: also how we gauge the LGUs.

2192
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:19,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Those LGUs who are

2193
01:41:19,440 --> 01:41:21,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: really putting nutrition at the

2194
01:41:21,440 --> 01:41:23,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: fore or talagang binibigyan

2195
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:25,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng pahalagang

2196
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:27,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nutrition, dapat mataas yung score. Pero kung

2197
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:28,980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in ibang LGU na wala namang

2198
01:41:28,980 --> 01:41:31,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ginagawa, that should

2199
01:41:31,460 --> 01:41:33,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: be also given

2200
01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:33,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: attention.

2201
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:36,960

2208
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:51,400
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: yung dami ng mga dokumento.

2209
01:41:51,740 --> 01:41:53,340

2210
01:41:53,340 --> 01:41:55,340
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ginagawa ang mga LGU. Ang sinasabi ko

2211
01:41:55,340 --> 01:41:57,280
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: lang po ay baka dapat ang sinusukat,

2212
01:41:57,320 --> 01:41:59,180
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: is kung ano yung nakakita natin kapag

2217
01:42:07,540 --> 01:42:09,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: outcome. That should be outcome. Actually,

01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:51,440
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: realize na pagdating po sa level

2239
01:42:51,440 --> 01:42:52,920
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ng GAA, medyo

2240
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:55,000
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: finifines po ng DBM kung anong

2241
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:56,760
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: indicator yung nilalagay. Kasi,

2242
01:42:57,320 --> 01:42:59,120
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: hirap pong ilalagay lahat dahil baka

2243
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:00,760
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: humaba yung annex masyado.

2244
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:03,240
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: But having, if I may also

2245
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:05,280
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: add, Mr. Chair, kung dagdagang ko lang po yung

2246
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,100
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: sagot ko dun sa earlier questions na pwedeng

2247
01:43:07,100 --> 01:43:09,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: gawin. Bago ho kami dumating dito,

2248
01:43:09,440 --> 01:43:11,120
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: sa utos na rin po ni PCEO

2252
01:43:17,480 --> 01:43:19,120
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: and partners like the World Bank.

2253
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:21,240
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: With the blessings po of the

2254
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:22,900
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Secretary and the PCEO,

2255
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:25,220
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: yung YACAP program po, sabi ko,

2256
01:43:25,340 --> 01:43:27,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: medyo dagdagan na natin dahil una

2257
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:29,100
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: man yung sinasabing

2258
01:43:29,100 --> 01:43:31,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: programa ni Secretary

2259
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,000
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Mercado for this administration,

2260
01:43:33,460 --> 01:43:34,940
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: tawagin na natin yung para sa first

2261
01:43:34,940 --> 01:43:37,240
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: 1,000 days, unang YACAP.

2262
01:43:37,540 --> 01:43:39,400
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Dahil yung unang YACAP na yan

2263
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,140
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ang makakabuo nung

2264
01:43:41,140 --> 01:43:43,260
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ating sinasabing benefit package,

2265
01:43:43,540 --> 01:43:45,020
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: alam po natin, Mr. Chair, na sa

2266
01:43:45,020 --> 01:43:47,420
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Universal Health Care Act, meron pong pagkahati

2267
01:43:47,420 --> 01:43:49,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: na ang population-based services

2268
01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:51,040
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ay dapat hindi PhilHealth,

2269
01:43:51,100 --> 01:43:53,080
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: tapos ang individual-based services ay dapat

2270
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:55,060
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: sa PhilHealth. Ang sagot ko

2271
01:43:55,060 --> 01:43:57,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: naman po dun, Mr. Chair, is pag binasa

2272
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: po natin, pag nag-M-panel

2273
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:00,920
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: na ang isang nanay or

2274
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:03,080
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ang pamilya sa YACAP, then consider

2275
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:04,680
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: na siyang individual-based service.

2276
01:44:05,180 --> 01:44:06,800
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: So pwedeng ganun po yung approach, kaya

2277
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:08,020
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: linatagwa lang rin po para

2278
01:44:08,020 --> 01:44:10,560
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: alam ng ating stakeholders na

2279
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,300
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: even from preconception, Mr. Chair,

2280
01:44:13,420 --> 01:44:14,900
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: kasi maraming neural tube

2281
01:44:14,900 --> 01:44:16,460
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: defects, yung

2282
01:44:16,460 --> 01:44:18,560
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: spina bifida na sinasabi,

2283
01:44:18,980 --> 01:44:20,540
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: masasolve yan sa ating

2284
01:44:20,540 --> 01:44:22,760
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: flower fortification with folate.

2285
01:44:23,180 --> 01:44:24,640
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Kahapon po, nakapunta po tayo sa

2286
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,080
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: FNRI, nandoon naman po yung equipment, konekonek

2287
01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:28,980
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: tado po eh. There are

2288
01:44:28,980 --> 01:44:31,100
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: I think licensed

2289
01:44:31,100 --> 01:44:32,880
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: technology acceptors

2290
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:34,820
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: na sasabihin lang daw sa kanila

2291
01:44:34,820 --> 01:44:36,480
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: na palitan yung harina na

2292
01:44:36,480 --> 01:44:38,580
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ihahalo nila na may folate at

2293
01:44:38,580 --> 01:44:40,660
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: kayang gawin niyang nationwide. Basically

2294
01:44:40,660 --> 01:44:42,820
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: with their indulgence, linatag ko lang po na

2295
01:44:42,820 --> 01:44:44,540
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: pwede nating buuhin yun from

2296
01:44:44,540 --> 01:44:46,400
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: preconception all the way to

2297
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:48,540
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: prenatal,

2298
01:44:48,860 --> 01:44:50,700
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: yung eight antenatal

2299
01:44:50,700 --> 01:44:52,680
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: care visits ng ating PhilHealth,

2300
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:54,700
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: tapos yung immediate newborn care,

2301
01:44:54,820 --> 01:44:56,680
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: yung mga bakuna na na-discuss na po ng Senate

2302
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:57,060
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: President.

2303
01:44:57,080 --> 01:44:59,460
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: And even yung exclusive breastfeeding

2304
01:44:59,460 --> 01:45:00,000
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: zero to six.

2305
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:14,700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, papasok yan sa YACA program, in other words, from prenatal all the way hanggang mga nakimbata, hanggang mabigyan ng vaccines.

2306
01:45:15,140 --> 01:45:17,600
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Opo, meron pong gano'n ng vision.

2307
01:45:17,980 --> 01:45:18,920
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Yes, Mr. Chair.

2308
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:29,380
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Ayun po yung vision natin. Ngayon po kasi naka-isolate, baka yung mga benefit levels hindi gano'ng kataas, yung financial levels niya, kaya hindi masyadong malaki yung impact.

2309
01:45:29,380 --> 01:45:34,140
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: So, baka yun po yung pwede natin gawin on the part of nutrition financing.

2310
01:45:35,140 --> 01:45:55,480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And on the part of the, let's say, ako, family, tapos may bagong panganak, nakita natin yun, yung zero to five, anong incentive niya o anong support makukuha niya sa gobyerno to make sure that itong zero to five ma-address yung nutrition?

2311
01:45:55,480 --> 01:45:59,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And what, on the implementation side, how do we reach?

2312
01:45:59,380 --> 01:46:03,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Reach those zero to five, using that YACAP program na dinescribe mo.

2313
01:46:04,460 --> 01:46:06,320
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Thank you, Mr. Chair, sa tanong.

2314
01:46:06,640 --> 01:46:10,700
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Sa gawing, ano po ba ang makaka-udyok para sa ating mga pamilya?

2315
01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:27,580
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Nung bago pa ho yung Conditional Cash Transfer Program or yung ating Pantawid Pamilang Pilipino Program, actually hanggang ngayon po, kung di ako nagkakamali, kasama dun sa mga sabihin na nating requirements para ma-release yung kanilang cash transfers, may mga indicators on health.

2316
01:46:27,580 --> 01:46:28,580
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: So, pwede ho nating...

2317
01:46:29,380 --> 01:46:30,480
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: I-review yung indicators.

2318
01:46:30,660 --> 01:46:32,200
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Most likely, aligned naman po sila.

2319
01:46:32,620 --> 01:46:35,940
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: But again, ang limitation lang po dun kasi, sa four-piece lang po ito.

2320
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:42,180
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: So, if we go beyond the four-piece families, kasi na-establish nga ho natin na there are around 8.7 million.

2321
01:46:42,740 --> 01:46:45,340
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: So, di naman lahat yun, ha, four-piece.

2322
01:46:45,660 --> 01:46:48,820
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Yan po yung hindi ko humasagot na mabilisang ngayon, pero hahanapan natin.

2323
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:54,280
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: But the idea is, kailangan siyang i-link sa isang incentive na makukuha nung pamilya.

2324
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:59,160
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Maybe, baka mga food stamps program or yung walang gutom program.

2325
01:46:59,380 --> 01:47:07,540
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Later on sa DepEd, na pwede nating ikabit-kabit ho para meron talagang malaking panghikayat dun sa mga pamilya na bumisita sa health center.

2326
01:47:07,660 --> 01:47:16,640
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Or, another alternative, Mr. Chair, is we have around 42,000 to 45,000 barangay nutrition scholars na nandiyan po, dedicated.

2327
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:23,560
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Nagdadasal sila yung PD 1569 na isa na ma-amend na rin para yung kanilang benefits ay tumaas.

2328
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,920
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: At yun po ay talagang nagbabahay-bahay sila.

2329
01:47:27,060 --> 01:47:29,320
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Alam nila, kahit tanungin po sila, I've tried.

2330
01:47:29,380 --> 01:47:33,460
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: In four areas, Mr. Chair, they can point to the exact bahay.

2331
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:35,240
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Kung gusto ka daw puntahan, puntahan namin.

2332
01:47:35,580 --> 01:47:37,480
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Kung nasan yung mga malnourish na bata.

2333
01:47:38,620 --> 01:47:46,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Well, just to give you, Usec, finaflag ko yung department about this issue.

2334
01:47:46,940 --> 01:47:56,120
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And again, hopefully under this new management ni Secretary Mercado, mabigyan ng attention itong nutrition natin with your new strategies.

2335
01:47:56,300 --> 01:47:58,380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Naririnig ko may mga bago kayong approaches.

2336
01:47:59,380 --> 01:48:04,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: On nutrition, on immunization, even on inventory management.

2337
01:48:04,660 --> 01:48:07,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, we'll take a look at that in the next 12 months.

2338
01:48:08,780 --> 01:48:19,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Importante, bininalabas ko lang ito so that the new team will have an idea of what to address in the next few months.

2339
01:48:20,440 --> 01:48:24,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: My next topic, Mr. Chairman, with your permission.

2340
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:29,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And this is on HFEP, yung Health Facilities Enhancement

2341
01:48:29,380 --> 01:48:35,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Program, in which 14.5 billion ang nakuha for next year.

2342
01:48:36,380 --> 01:48:39,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I was also looking at some reports.

2343
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:43,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is on slide 23.

2344
01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:49,160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Slide 23.

2345
01:48:53,270 --> 01:48:56,810
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, nakita namin on, this is a report.

2346
01:48:57,270 --> 01:48:57,930
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kuha ba ito?

2347
01:48:58,870 --> 01:48:59,170
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: We could.

2348
01:48:59,370 --> 01:48:59,810
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kung kuha.

2349
01:49:00,070 --> 01:49:00,410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: No, no.

2350
01:49:00,470 --> 01:49:01,130
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: This is your best.

2351
01:49:01,370 --> 01:49:01,790
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And you.

2352
01:49:01,970 --> 01:49:02,330
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: You watch.

2353
01:49:02,390 --> 01:49:05,670
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is from my DOH report.

2354
01:49:05,810 --> 01:49:07,430
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Again, this is prior to your.

2355
01:49:08,910 --> 01:49:14,310
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sorry, this is COA findings po ito, Secretary.

2356
01:49:14,630 --> 01:49:17,070
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And again, this is prior to your assumption.

2357
01:49:17,970 --> 01:49:23,750
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pero merong 38 projects worth 11 billion na delayed in implementation.

2358
01:49:24,550 --> 01:49:28,270
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Meron 136 projects worth 1.1 billion.

2359
01:49:28,890 --> 01:49:31,250
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Idle, unutilized, non-operational.

2360
01:49:31,250 --> 01:49:38,050
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Merong 1.1 billion, underutilized, and so on and so forth.

2361
01:49:38,250 --> 01:49:44,570
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Merong 227 worth 3.1 billion, unimplemented, not yet started.

2362
01:49:45,530 --> 01:49:50,570
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, the question, and maraming iba-ibang dahilan eh.

2363
01:49:50,670 --> 01:49:53,590
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We went through the COA report, iba-iba yung dahilan.

2364
01:49:54,190 --> 01:50:00,250
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, how do we resolve this, Secretary?

2365
01:50:00,250 --> 01:50:00,370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay.

2366
01:50:00,370 --> 01:50:07,370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Considering na, and mamaya papakita ko, na yung bed occupancy rate natin is surpassing 100%.

2367
01:50:07,950 --> 01:50:09,570
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In some areas, 200%.

2368
01:50:09,570 --> 01:50:10,370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Some areas, 300%.

2369
01:50:11,110 --> 01:50:19,990
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And yet, meron tayong 17 billion na either delayed, unutilized, or hindi na-implement pa.

2370
01:50:20,590 --> 01:50:25,670
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then, we are also now pumping in 14 billion pesos again on HFEP.

2371
01:50:25,750 --> 01:50:27,210
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ako, I support capacity building.

2372
01:50:27,350 --> 01:50:29,290
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kailangan natin talaga to increase capacity.

2373
01:50:29,290 --> 01:50:29,370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay.

2374
01:50:29,370 --> 01:50:33,810
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But there's also another implementation problem pagdating sa HVAP.

2375
01:50:33,890 --> 01:50:39,750
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, what is the new team doing in order to address this implementation problem?

2376
01:50:40,950 --> 01:50:45,430
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ang direction nga po is look at the healthcare provider network ecosystem.

2377
01:50:46,230 --> 01:50:55,270
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Whether it's geographically defined as a region or a particular province, depending on the actual situation on the ground.

2378
01:50:55,270 --> 01:50:58,190
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ang plano ko po ay mag-define.

2379
01:50:58,190 --> 01:51:02,170
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ano ba dapat ang basic standard of a typical RHU?

2380
01:51:02,810 --> 01:51:04,230
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And then, ano po yung next level?

2381
01:51:04,450 --> 01:51:07,450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kailangan ba in every district may isang super health center?

2382
01:51:08,230 --> 01:51:14,230
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And then, going up in the province, should the district hospitals be standardized?

2383
01:51:14,570 --> 01:51:22,570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para may standard din po for district hospitals of such a big geographic catchment, which should contain this equipment.

2384
01:51:23,530 --> 01:51:25,730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Allocative efficiency, Sen.

2385
01:51:25,730 --> 01:51:27,030
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para po alam natin.

2386
01:51:27,230 --> 01:51:28,110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi ngayon nga po.

2387
01:51:28,190 --> 01:51:37,110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: When I looked at the HVAP, tabi-tabi, gusto, kanya-kanyang MRI, kanya-kanyang CT scan, na hindi naman po ganong ka-efficient.

2388
01:51:37,410 --> 01:51:40,570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Meron pong tinatawag in the U.S. Certificate of Needs eh.

2389
01:51:40,970 --> 01:51:50,870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Bago ka maglagay ng bagong gamit, meron pong science into it to look sapat ba yung existing market mo to serve a particular facility.

2390
01:51:51,030 --> 01:51:57,870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, i-de-define po namin yan all the way up to the Apex Hospital, which could either be a tertiary provincial hospital,

2391
01:51:58,190 --> 01:52:00,270
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: or a regional hospital.

2392
01:52:00,710 --> 01:52:10,030
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po muna moving forward yung gagawin namin para when the requests come in, mamamap out namin according to that tiering of the facilities.

2393
01:52:10,710 --> 01:52:18,690
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: In the existing facilities po, tinitingnan ko nga, sabi ko ang priority nating tapusin ay yung mga completed but not operational,

2394
01:52:18,950 --> 01:52:26,190
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: baka kulang lang ng gamit, or those that are partially completed but operating, baka kulang lang na matapos yung facility,

2395
01:52:26,190 --> 01:52:27,190
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: or yung...

2396
01:52:28,190 --> 01:52:32,450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: partially completed but not operating, kulang ba naman power.

2397
01:52:32,550 --> 01:52:33,490
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, we have to analyze.

2398
01:52:34,390 --> 01:52:43,310
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: But again, moving forward po, apart from yung ating strategy ng allocative efficiency going up through the tiering of the value chain,

2399
01:52:43,750 --> 01:52:50,750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: is also look at compliant ba muna doon sa mga site conditions yung mga nagre-request.

2400
01:52:50,750 --> 01:52:57,750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, we already have the omnibus guidelines for the HVEP that the proponent needs to...

2401
01:52:57,750 --> 01:52:58,870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: needs to satisfy.

2402
01:52:59,510 --> 01:53:01,850
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Otherwise po, hindi namin sinasama as priority.

2403
01:53:02,050 --> 01:53:03,910
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi pa na-transfer yung title ng lupa.

2404
01:53:04,430 --> 01:53:08,750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Wala ka namang ability to put up your...

2405
01:53:09,290 --> 01:53:10,870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Alimbawa po, may lumapit sa amin.

2406
01:53:11,030 --> 01:53:11,750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Bakit di kami na...

2407
01:53:12,450 --> 01:53:13,050
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na...

2408
01:53:13,050 --> 01:53:13,110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na...

2409
01:53:13,110 --> 01:53:14,290
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kaklassify as...

2410
01:53:14,290 --> 01:53:16,210
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: hindi nyo pa nabibigay yung CT scan sa amin.

2411
01:53:16,590 --> 01:53:21,570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: E wala pong three-phase transformer na at saka three-phase electricity available in the area.

2412
01:53:22,110 --> 01:53:23,350
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po yung aming iano.

2413
01:53:23,490 --> 01:53:26,870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Plus yung manpower availability rin po doon sa area.

2414
01:53:26,870 --> 01:53:27,670
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Either we...

2415
01:53:27,670 --> 01:53:32,910
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Augment or the LGU should be very clear in their MOA with us

2416
01:53:32,910 --> 01:53:34,550
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that they will provide the manpower.

2417
01:53:34,730 --> 01:53:38,330
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi yun din po, pag na-finish, minsan sabi ng MOA, wala kaming pera.

2418
01:53:38,670 --> 01:53:45,230
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kung kayo po ay compelled, because nasa MOA naman na dapat sa inyo po kayo mag-provide,

2419
01:53:45,710 --> 01:53:47,370
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat po, handa na rin yun.

2420
01:53:47,510 --> 01:53:50,250
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po yung tinatahi-tahi po namin.

2421
01:53:52,770 --> 01:53:55,030
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary, two things.

2422
01:53:55,030 --> 01:53:57,190
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Number one, yung mga existing projects.

2423
01:53:57,670 --> 01:53:58,270
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Wala na flash.

2424
01:53:59,290 --> 01:54:00,950
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Paki-flash ulit, Elena.

2425
01:54:02,190 --> 01:54:04,790
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito ka lang matapos at mag-operate yan.

2426
01:54:04,930 --> 01:54:10,290
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because nagbuos na tayo ng 17 billion dito sa mga facilities na ito.

2427
01:54:10,370 --> 01:54:18,930
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, my first question is, how are you addressing or how will you address itong mga delays, unimplemented?

2428
01:54:19,830 --> 01:54:21,770
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: How are you going to address that?

2429
01:54:21,770 --> 01:54:26,850
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then number two question is, may iba bang modality na much more efficient that we can use?

2430
01:54:26,950 --> 01:54:27,550
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For example,

2431
01:54:27,670 --> 01:54:39,670
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: PPP, for example, private sector hospitals, then we give them incentives to take in public sector patients.

2432
01:54:41,610 --> 01:54:44,470
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's where PhilHealth, universal healthcare will come in.

2433
01:54:44,830 --> 01:54:48,610
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, talagang sakit ng gobyerno pag nagpatayo, delay.

2434
01:54:50,190 --> 01:54:56,870
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's really a problem, not only in DOH, across the board yan.

2435
01:54:57,670 --> 01:55:01,510
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Of the government agency.

2436
01:55:01,690 --> 01:55:04,050
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, first question is, how do we address this?

2437
01:55:04,150 --> 01:55:12,870
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Second is, are there other modalities that we can look at in order to solve this construction issue?

2438
01:55:14,010 --> 01:55:14,770
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun nga po.

2439
01:55:14,910 --> 01:55:15,790
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Sir Chairman, excuse me.

2440
01:55:15,970 --> 01:55:16,710
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, send me.

2441
01:55:16,810 --> 01:55:18,910
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Tutulungan ko lang sa magot si Secretary Mercado.

2442
01:55:19,030 --> 01:55:21,130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Alam ko nahihiyas siyang sabihin yung totoo.

2443
01:55:23,530 --> 01:55:27,130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ang major cost ng delay, ano, at saka yung mga underutilized.

2444
01:55:27,670 --> 01:55:28,970
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Utilization ng pondo.

2445
01:55:29,570 --> 01:55:30,410
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Insertions, diba?

2446
01:55:31,490 --> 01:55:35,290
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, hindi kasalanan ng DOH kasi ito yung post-NEP.

2447
01:55:36,570 --> 01:55:42,810
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Meron kayong programa sa NEP, hindi naman yung ma-implement properly kasi hindi kasama sa plano ninyo.

2448
01:55:43,610 --> 01:55:47,150
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Because of insertions made by legislators.

2449
01:55:48,770 --> 01:55:49,450
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Huwag nang kayong mahiya.

2450
01:55:49,570 --> 01:55:50,470
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yan naman totoo, diba?

2451
01:55:52,510 --> 01:55:53,110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Partly.

2452
01:55:54,010 --> 01:55:56,730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya po, kahit may mga request pong gano'n.

2453
01:55:56,750 --> 01:55:57,150
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yan, yan.

2454
01:55:57,150 --> 01:55:57,650
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yan lang po namin.

2455
01:55:57,670 --> 01:56:02,250
Senator Panfilo Lacson: I know you're just being shy, you know, or you're just being polite.

2456
01:56:02,330 --> 01:56:02,890
Senator Panfilo Lacson: But don't worry.

2457
01:56:03,650 --> 01:56:12,490
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi pagdating sa BICAM, trabaho niya ni Senator JV na ma-arrest o kaya ma-address yung issue

2458
01:56:12,490 --> 01:56:17,130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: na kaya nagkakaroon ng underutilization, mga hindi na-implement.

2459
01:56:17,590 --> 01:56:19,230
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ganyan sa DPWH eh.

2460
01:56:20,190 --> 01:56:23,290
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi paano i-implement kung hindi naman kayo nagplano?

2461
01:56:23,870 --> 01:56:25,610
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kung saan-saan in-insert.

2462
01:56:25,610 --> 01:56:27,210
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ito yung sa amendments.

2463
01:56:27,670 --> 01:56:28,910
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Period of amendments.

2464
01:56:29,150 --> 01:56:30,010
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kanya-kanya singitan.

2465
01:56:31,470 --> 01:56:34,130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Tapos hindi naman ma-implement kasi wala sa plano ninyo.

2466
01:56:35,110 --> 01:56:36,490
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Wala sa priorities ninyo.

2467
01:56:37,130 --> 01:56:38,190
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Wala sa needs ninyo.

2468
01:56:39,950 --> 01:56:44,350
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yun namang legislator na nagsingit, wala rin naman siyang coordination sa DOH.

2469
01:56:46,050 --> 01:56:47,850
Senator Panfilo Lacson: It's bad enough na nag-insert.

2470
01:56:48,030 --> 01:56:51,170
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero at least man lang, prior to insertion or amendment,

2471
01:56:51,610 --> 01:56:54,910
Senator Panfilo Lacson: nagsabi, bumusin naman lang na ito ba kaya nating implement.

2472
01:56:55,790 --> 01:56:57,650
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, huwag na ka mahiya, Sekretary.

2473
01:56:57,670 --> 01:57:04,590
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sen Ping, yung nabanggit ni Secretary na HFEP guidelines, malaking bagay yun.

2474
01:57:05,370 --> 01:57:09,610
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I agree with Sen Ping na lalo na, siguro may second round.

2475
01:57:10,150 --> 01:57:12,670
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nakita ko yung isa rin sa mga problema, yung super health centers.

2476
01:57:14,170 --> 01:57:19,250
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Na ang daming unused, i-flash ko na nga since andito na tayo.

2477
01:57:19,950 --> 01:57:23,670
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung slide 20.

2478
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:27,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Slide 20, Elena.

2479
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:27,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yan.

2480
01:57:31,830 --> 01:57:32,070
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yan.

2481
01:57:32,070 --> 01:57:35,030
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito yung super health centers.

2482
01:57:35,750 --> 01:57:39,550
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About 2.9 billion completed but not operational.

2483
01:57:40,290 --> 01:57:45,790
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About 3.9 billion completed, not completed or no clear status update.

2484
01:57:45,970 --> 01:57:49,410
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Meaning, hindi alam kung anong situation na.

2485
01:57:50,070 --> 01:57:55,070
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, ito rin isang mga nakita namin problema.

2486
01:57:56,450 --> 01:58:00,610
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito, connectado sa sinabi ni Sen Ping, na marami rin kasing mga

2487
01:58:00,610 --> 01:58:06,970
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: na i-insert ng super health center, ayaw naman ng LGU patakbuhin dahil ayaw nilang magbayad ng kuryente.

2488
01:58:07,570 --> 01:58:09,150
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi sila makakuha ng nurse.

2489
01:58:09,690 --> 01:58:11,110
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ayaw nilang bumili ng gamot.

2490
01:58:11,870 --> 01:58:17,550
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, in other words, nakatayo na yung super health center, ayaw ang kininong LGU.

2491
01:58:17,750 --> 01:58:19,830
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, nagiging problema rin.

2492
01:58:21,830 --> 01:58:29,550
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I think this is something that hopefully your guidelines, kung strictly ma-implementa, can be resolved.

2493
01:58:30,610 --> 01:58:38,590
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, maraming lumalapit sa aking mga governors na sabi niya,

2494
01:58:38,770 --> 01:58:42,830
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: pwede bang i-restrict niyo yung mga HFEP projects?

2495
01:58:42,950 --> 01:58:50,570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi nagugulantang na lang kami na mayroon palang biglang are issues na hindi naman nakasama doon sa local health investment plan ng pabilisya.

2496
01:58:50,570 --> 01:58:53,650
Senator Panfilo Lacson: These are institutional problems that must be addressed.

2497
01:58:54,690 --> 01:58:58,310
Senator Panfilo Lacson: This is beyond your level already.

2498
01:58:59,450 --> 01:59:00,490
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi pagdating ng budget,

2499
01:59:00,610 --> 01:59:01,930
Senator Panfilo Lacson: the deliberations,

2500
01:59:02,450 --> 01:59:04,070
Senator Panfilo Lacson: medyo, anyway.

2501
01:59:05,270 --> 01:59:06,570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yung pagka

2502
01:59:06,570 --> 01:59:08,130
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at least set the rules nga po,

2503
01:59:08,430 --> 01:59:10,350
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung may mga ganyong pagkakataon,

2504
01:59:10,510 --> 01:59:12,250
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat naman mag-align dahil nga po

2505
01:59:12,250 --> 01:59:14,590
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nasasayang. Then secondly nga po,

2506
01:59:14,710 --> 01:59:16,410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: even the way we download and

2507
01:59:16,410 --> 01:59:18,550
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: we procure. So, ako gawin na natin

2508
01:59:18,550 --> 01:59:20,410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: just like what you said earlier po,

2509
01:59:20,930 --> 01:59:22,890
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Senwin, na yung local government,

2510
01:59:23,050 --> 01:59:24,570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasi kung sila, may responsibility

2511
01:59:24,570 --> 01:59:26,530
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: rin sila at meron silang accountability

2512
01:59:26,530 --> 01:59:28,010
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung di nila ma-operate.

2513
01:59:28,310 --> 01:59:30,450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi sila may

2514
01:59:30,450 --> 01:59:31,870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: input na sila eh.

2515
01:59:32,210 --> 01:59:34,310
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And thirdly po, doon sa prospect po ng

2516
01:59:34,310 --> 01:59:36,450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: PPP, pinag-usapan na po namin

2517
01:59:36,450 --> 01:59:38,350
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yan sa PISAC. Ako rin po ay nakaupo doon

2518
01:59:38,350 --> 01:59:40,050
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sa Private Sector Advisory Council.

2519
01:59:40,550 --> 01:59:42,770
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang hiling daw po ng private sector,

2520
01:59:43,370 --> 01:59:44,890
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: eh, syempre, mamumuhunang kami.

2521
01:59:45,450 --> 01:59:46,390
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Huwag naman akalain

2522
01:59:46,390 --> 01:59:47,470
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga tao na

2523
01:59:47,470 --> 01:59:49,690
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: paano kami magiging

2524
01:59:49,690 --> 01:59:51,570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at least break-even.

2525
01:59:51,830 --> 01:59:54,510
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: There's a financial model that should be

2526
01:59:54,510 --> 01:59:55,410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: well thought of.

2527
01:59:56,170 --> 01:59:58,330
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya sabi namin, meron naman pong

2528
01:59:58,330 --> 02:00:00,460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yakap na na nagbabayad.

2529
02:00:00,460 --> 02:00:15,660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Although kasi po yung yakap sa private sector nakakasingil po ng additional copay up to 900 pesos. So kung siya po ay considered na LGU na pinipipi, magpo-fall ba siya under the private sector classification or LGU?

2530
02:00:15,660 --> 02:00:39,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun po yung pinag-uusapan pa namin po. Although paglapad naman po at pagkakinong coverage ng yakap at yung pong incentives na binibigay namin, yan nga po gaya ng top up para yung first 1,000 day gawin yung mabuti, babayaran namin kada referred o kada bakunang ibigay, maka magkakaroon pa rin po ng additional revenue ang ating pong mga yakap clinics. So yun po yung pinag-uusapan namin.

2531
02:00:39,780 --> 02:00:43,140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Secretary. And lastly, Mr. Chairman.

2532
02:00:43,500 --> 02:00:43,920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. Chair.

2533
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:45,620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's why yung 2020.

2534
02:00:45,660 --> 02:01:07,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In 2026, when I was chairing the Finance Committee, hindi na po namin sinama yung mga bagong super health centers. Ang pinondohan lang po namin yung to complete the super health centers. Kasi nga during the budget hearing, narinig po namin na maraming LGUs tinatanggihan yung super health centers.

2535
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:16,860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kuryente, hindi rin nila mabayaran. Tubig, hindi nila mabayaran. Walang nurse doon, walang doktor. So nagtataka naman sila na tayo na yung super health centers.

2536
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:17,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So patayin.

2537
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:23,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pa-rectify na lang yun kasi nandoon na ho yung super health centers. At the same time, Secretary.

2538
02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:26,120
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mr. Chair, Senate President, if I may lang.

2539
02:01:26,480 --> 02:01:27,180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Taposin ko na lang.

2540
02:01:27,300 --> 02:01:29,300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Taposin ko na lang.

2541
02:01:29,300 --> 02:01:43,020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then, Secretary, let's explore other modalities. Kasi mga other modalities can be much more efficient. Especially meron na tayong universal health care.

2542
02:01:43,180 --> 02:01:46,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang gusto lang naman ng mga private sector, pag nagtayo kami, mababayaran kami.

2543
02:01:47,680 --> 02:02:00,420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Universal health care can step into that. So let's explore. Kasi kung gobyerno parating magpapatayo, it's either uncompleted, hindi compliant, medyo nasasayang yung pera.

2544
02:02:00,740 --> 02:02:01,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

2545
02:02:02,480 --> 02:02:03,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, our Senate President.

2546
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:09,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, we plan to take a lunch break. Parang kasi ang pangit naman nagla-lunch tayo.

2547
02:02:10,720 --> 02:02:17,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro mga 30-minute lunch break. But before that, our Senator Bongo would like to give his opening statement, I believe.

2548
02:02:17,680 --> 02:02:23,400
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Salamat po, Mr. Chair, Senate President, Senator Lackson, Mr. Chair, Senator JV.

2549
02:02:23,880 --> 02:02:32,080
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pakibalik lang po yung slides kanina. Kaya gusto ko sanang pumasok sa sumingit kay Senate President.

2550
02:02:33,980 --> 02:02:34,460
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yan, yan.

2551
02:02:36,200 --> 02:02:45,460
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Secretary Mercado, last year po, binigyan ng prioridad ni Senator Win Gatchalian, then Finance Chair.

2552
02:02:45,460 --> 02:02:46,800
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Now, Senator.

2553
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:52,580
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Senate President Win Gatchalian, na mabigyan ng prioridad yung completion.

2554
02:02:53,420 --> 02:03:01,140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yun po yung naging usapan noon to make it operational at magamit po itong mga super health center.

2555
02:03:02,140 --> 02:03:11,540
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At marami, I agree with the Senate President na yung iba, mayroon pong mga LGUs na hirap pong patakbuhin ito.

2556
02:03:11,540 --> 02:03:17,540
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: But marami pong mga LGUs na gusto at willing, lalong-lalo na po yung mga liblib

2557
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:19,160
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na lugar, yung mga islands.

2558
02:03:19,300 --> 02:03:26,660
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Remember, more than 7,000 islands po tayo sa buong Pilipinas, lalo na sa Mindanao.

2559
02:03:27,340 --> 02:03:36,580
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron pong mga lugar doon, 4 hours ang biyahe sa bangka, papunta lang sa town proper, another 2 hours papunta sa hospital.

2560
02:03:36,760 --> 02:03:40,220
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Halimbawa na lang po yung Balot Island sa Mindanao.

2561
02:03:40,360 --> 02:03:43,340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 4 hours yun, yun yung na-earthquake recently.

2562
02:03:43,980 --> 02:03:47,640
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung mga buntis doon, nanganak na lang sa bangka sa sobrang layo.

2563
02:03:47,680 --> 02:03:49,460
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ngayon, meron na silang super health center.

2564
02:03:49,540 --> 02:03:53,920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Marami pong mga lugar na willing rin po silang malagyan ng super health center.

2565
02:03:54,020 --> 02:03:55,420
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tulad ng Tingloy, Batangas.

2566
02:03:56,280 --> 02:04:01,140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 1 hour ang biyahe papunta sa Batangas, another 1 hour papunta po sa Batangas Medical Center.

2567
02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:05,140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Willing yung LGUs, complement each other.

2568
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:10,120
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang importante po dyan, magko-complement po ang LGUs at saka yung DOH.

2569
02:04:10,560 --> 02:04:11,660
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mag-aralan yung mabuti.

2570
02:04:12,460 --> 02:04:17,480
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kung kaya ba nila, bago nyo pasukin, bago nyo pirmahan yung kontrata.

2571
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:19,300
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kung kaya ba nilang mag-operate.

2572
02:04:19,640 --> 02:04:23,440
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Marami pong mga LGUs na willingly na mag-operate po.

2573
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:24,860
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: May kakayahan.

2574
02:04:25,080 --> 02:04:27,660
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung iba naman po talaga totoo, hindi rin po nilang kaya.

2575
02:04:28,460 --> 02:04:32,800
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, importante po dyan, yung DOH, kayo po ang may regional offices.

2576
02:04:33,200 --> 02:04:36,200
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kayo po yung pwedeng magpa-check kung meron ba silang kakayahan.

2577
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:39,940
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Complement each other lang po ang DOH at yung LGUs.

2578
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:42,840
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Malaking tulong po yun sa mga liblib na lugar.

2579
02:04:43,160 --> 02:04:44,920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Marami pong bundok dito sa atin.

2580
02:04:45,300 --> 02:04:47,400
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Halimbawa na lang po sa Lake Sebu,

2581
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:49,880
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: sa South Cotabato.

2582
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:52,700
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Two hours yung biyahe doon sa bundok nila.

2583
02:04:53,480 --> 02:04:55,440
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tuwang-tuwa po yung mayor doon.

2584
02:04:55,600 --> 02:04:58,620
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At willing naman po silang mag-operate.

2585
02:04:59,140 --> 02:05:02,140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Importante lang po, supporta po ng HPEP.

2586
02:05:02,860 --> 02:05:04,040
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: To make it operational.

2587
02:05:04,980 --> 02:05:09,720
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: During my time as chairman ng Committee on Health,

2588
02:05:10,440 --> 02:05:13,800
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: yan po ang parati kong pinapaalala sa mga DOH secretary.

2589
02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:15,340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: To make it operational.

2590
02:05:16,200 --> 02:05:17,340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At huwag pong iiwan.

2591
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:19,100
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sa White Elephant.

2592
02:05:19,440 --> 02:05:26,480
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kaya last year, I agree with the Senate Finance Chair, SP Win Gatchalian,

2593
02:05:27,020 --> 02:05:30,960
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Naunahin po, bigyan ng prioridad yung mga completion muna.

2594
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:32,240
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Huwag yung mga bago.

2595
02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:34,940
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tapusin muna lahat ito para magamit po.

2596
02:05:35,020 --> 02:05:39,100
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sayang naman po na maiwan po siyang nakatiwangwang dyan.

2597
02:05:40,260 --> 02:05:46,680
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yun lang pong pakiusap ko sa DOH bilang vice chair po ng health.

2598
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:50,260
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, make it operational.

2599
02:05:50,840 --> 02:05:53,080
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: All throughout the years, yan po ang palala ko sa inyo.

2600
02:05:53,180 --> 02:05:58,060
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: To make it operational and complement with each other po ang DOH at ang LGUs.

2601
02:05:58,240 --> 02:06:02,760
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dahil maraming LGUs na willing pong mag-operate rin po ng mga super health centers.

2602
02:06:03,480 --> 02:06:09,740
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Anyway, maraming salamat my esteemed colleagues and the Department of Health.

2603
02:06:09,740 --> 02:06:14,920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Congratulations po, Secretary Mercado, on your appointment as Secretary of Health.

2604
02:06:15,020 --> 02:06:16,740
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: As well as Doktora Beverly.

2605
02:06:16,740 --> 02:06:20,520
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Lorraine Ho, on her designation as PhilHealth President.

2606
02:06:21,080 --> 02:06:28,520
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bago po tayo mag-lunch break, I would like to place on record that I support the budget of the Department of Health

2607
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:31,040
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: and its attached agencies and corporations.

2608
02:06:31,220 --> 02:06:37,640
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Importante po ang budget sa kalusugan dahil investment po ito sa ating mamamayan.

2609
02:06:38,180 --> 02:06:39,020
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Health is wealth.

2610
02:06:39,580 --> 02:06:44,460
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang katumbas po ng kalusugan ay katumbas ng buhay ng bawat Pilipino.

2611
02:06:44,860 --> 02:06:46,720
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Maraming Pilipino din po ang kailangan.

2612
02:06:46,740 --> 02:06:49,820
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang tulong medikal na dapat tugunan ng ating gobyerno.

2613
02:06:50,460 --> 02:06:57,740
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Importante lang po ito sa akin, Secretary Mercado, dahil galing po kayo sa PhilHealth noon.

2614
02:06:57,800 --> 02:07:01,380
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bago po kayo na-appoint as Secretary of Health.

2615
02:07:02,260 --> 02:07:10,640
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sin tax earmarking, it is important to note that Republic Act 11346 and Republic Act 11467

2616
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:16,300
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: provides for the earmarking of excise taxes on certain products.

2617
02:07:16,740 --> 02:07:21,720
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: These revenues are mandated by law to be allocated and used exclusively for health

2618
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:25,140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: for the implementation of the Universal Health Care Act,

2619
02:07:25,660 --> 02:07:29,280
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: for medical assistance and health facilities enhancement program,

2620
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:33,380
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: for an attainment of the sustainable development goals.

2621
02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:41,360
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang layo pa po natin sa ngayon, we are still very far yet from the full implementation of the Universal Health Care.

2622
02:07:41,360 --> 02:07:46,060
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ito po yung batas na ipinasapo dito noong 17th Congress,

2623
02:07:46,060 --> 02:07:51,980
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: principally sponsored by our Chairperson, Sen. J.B. Ejército.

2624
02:07:52,140 --> 02:07:56,800
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Napaka-importante po itong landmark law na ito during the time of former President Duterte.

2625
02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:02,280
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kaya lang po napansin ko, noong chairman po ako ng Committee on Health,

2626
02:08:02,380 --> 02:08:12,120
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: nagkaroon po ako ng 14 hearings noong 2024 para po sa health emergency allowances ng ating mga health workers.

2627
02:08:12,120 --> 02:08:15,100
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Finally, narilis po yung 27 billion.

2628
02:08:16,060 --> 02:08:18,500
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sa ating pangungulit, pagpupursige rito.

2629
02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:24,160
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At noong 2025, na-release po yung 6.7 billion sa HEA.

2630
02:08:25,120 --> 02:08:29,420
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: I think meron pang balansi po ngayon na nag-a-appeal po ang ating mga health workers.

2631
02:08:31,300 --> 02:08:33,520
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pinaghirapan po ito ng mga health workers natin.

2632
02:08:33,900 --> 02:08:34,980
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pinagpawisan po nila ito.

2633
02:08:34,980 --> 02:08:41,480
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana po yung mabalikan nyo po itong mga appeals na ito.

2634
02:08:42,180 --> 02:08:45,340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dahil pinaghirapan ng mga health workers na.

2635
02:08:46,060 --> 02:08:49,500
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana po mabigyan po ito ng pansin.

2636
02:08:49,720 --> 02:08:51,880
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Anyway, balikan ko lang po itong sin tax.

2637
02:08:52,140 --> 02:08:53,420
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Paki, ano lang po ng slide.

2638
02:08:56,780 --> 02:09:01,700
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Noong 2024, paki flash lang po sa screen yung.

2639
02:09:06,930 --> 02:09:17,970
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Noong 2024 po, ang sin tax earmark for PhilHealth, kung di po ako nagkakamali, ay 79 billion.

2640
02:09:17,970 --> 02:09:21,890
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dapat, batas po ito na ipinasan natin dito sa Congress.

2641
02:09:21,910 --> 02:09:35,920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: But, ang naibigay lang po sa GAA, ang approved po sa GAA ay 61 billion, 514 million.

2642
02:09:37,840 --> 02:09:48,240
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang pinagkunan po nito ay sa sin tax na 40 billion, 40.283 billion for subsidy for National Health Insurance.

2643
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:49,360
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Or ito po yung sin tax.

2644
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:54,780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At 21 billion naman po ang kinuha sa PagCorp, naka-indicate doon.

2645
02:09:54,920 --> 02:10:05,270
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, ibig sabihin po, ang dapat na na-earmark for 2024, dapat, ayon sa batas, ay 79 billion.

2646
02:10:05,710 --> 02:10:09,150
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero ang na-aprubahan po natin sa GAA ay 61 billion.

2647
02:10:09,350 --> 02:10:14,810
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero ang nakuha from sin tax, mula sa sin tax po, ay 40 billion.

2648
02:10:15,550 --> 02:10:24,710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, ibig sabihin may kulang pa dapat na about 29, almost 29 billion mula sa syntax.

2649
02:10:24,710 --> 02:10:33,710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Baka pwede niyo po itong mapag-aralan sa pagsusuri ng 2027 budget.

2650
02:10:34,970 --> 02:10:46,710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ngunit nakakalungkot lang po, ng 2024, meron pong naitransfer na sinasabing excess funds.

2651
02:10:49,130 --> 02:10:54,030
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kinuha po ng National Treasury, it was pulled sa mga unprogrammed funds.

2652
02:10:54,030 --> 02:10:57,770
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At hindi na po natin alam kung saan po ito nagamit.

2653
02:10:59,230 --> 02:11:05,690
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Hindi nga natin alam kung nagamit ba ito sa mga iba't ibang proyekto na hindi naman po related sa health.

2654
02:11:06,270 --> 02:11:10,450
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At finally, salamat sa Supreme Court na pag-desisyon na nila.

2655
02:11:12,510 --> 02:11:23,070
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nung panahon yun, sinabi ko, legally, pumasa siya legally, but morally unacceptable po sa akin.

2656
02:11:23,070 --> 02:11:30,210
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: But finally, nakapag-decide ang Supreme Court na illegal po yung transfer na 60 billion.

2657
02:11:30,570 --> 02:11:33,770
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero wala na, natransfer na. Dapat nagamit po yun.

2658
02:11:34,450 --> 02:11:41,490
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, inaprubahan po 61 billion sa GAA.

2659
02:11:42,950 --> 02:11:46,410
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bakit meron pong 60 billion na naitransfer sa National Treasury?

2660
02:11:47,250 --> 02:11:49,790
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ba't nagkaroon ng excess funds ang PhilHealth?

2661
02:11:49,790 --> 02:11:52,890
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, wala talagang excess funds na tinatawag ang PhilHealth.

2662
02:11:53,070 --> 02:12:02,070
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, nagpanik po yung PhilHealth, for your information lang po, PCO Beverly Raynong.

2663
02:12:03,310 --> 02:12:09,130
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nagpanik po yung PhilHealth, then led by Mandy Ledesma.

2664
02:12:10,330 --> 02:12:13,710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nagkaroon sila ng meeting, nung Disyembre, board meeting.

2665
02:12:14,910 --> 02:12:21,130
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tinaasan nila yung case rates, tinaasan yung mga packages, kasi galit na yung tao.

2666
02:12:21,950 --> 02:12:22,990
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bakit nila ginawa?

2667
02:12:23,070 --> 02:12:29,110
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nung Disyembre, yung meeting, eh pwede naman nilang gawin sana.

2668
02:12:29,850 --> 02:12:41,250
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nung Januari, ginamit yung pondo ng PhilHealth, eh sana walang excess funds at walang winalis na pondo yung National Treasury na sinasabing excess funds.

2669
02:12:42,170 --> 02:12:44,490
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, wala talagang excess funds, ibig sabihin.

2670
02:12:47,010 --> 02:12:50,190
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yun lang po ang paalala ko na sana po'y huwag itong maulit.

2671
02:12:50,910 --> 02:12:52,630
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pagdating po ng...

2672
02:12:52,630 --> 02:12:54,630
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, ibig sabihin ito ha, walang excess.

2673
02:12:54,670 --> 02:12:58,670
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero, meron pong naitransfer na 60 billion nung 2024.

2674
02:12:59,750 --> 02:13:00,790
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nakakalungkot po yun.

2675
02:13:01,350 --> 02:13:06,010
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Maraming mga pasyente, natatanggihan, walang matakbuhan.

2676
02:13:07,510 --> 02:13:14,670
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: In fact, sa Cebu, merong buntis, mag-ina, nanganak na lang po sa sidewalk, namatay, dahil takot magpa-hospital.

2677
02:13:16,090 --> 02:13:23,670
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron po isa sa Rosario, sa Cavite, isang lalaki, ayaw rin pong magpa-hospital, namatay.

2678
02:13:23,670 --> 02:13:25,870
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At napakababa po.

2679
02:13:26,270 --> 02:13:28,710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron po isang coverage ng PhilHealth.

2680
02:13:28,810 --> 02:13:33,690
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron po isang provincial health officer ng Camarines, sa Norte.

2681
02:13:34,410 --> 02:13:35,250
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-admit po siya.

2682
02:13:35,430 --> 02:13:36,390
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nasabi ko na po ito.

2683
02:13:36,570 --> 02:13:37,270
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-admit po siya.

2684
02:13:38,750 --> 02:13:42,310
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 6 million ang billing niya.

2685
02:13:42,570 --> 02:13:44,750
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang sinagot ng PhilHealth, 29,000.

2686
02:13:44,850 --> 02:13:45,750
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-admit siya muli.

2687
02:13:47,490 --> 02:13:50,290
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 4 million ang sinagot ng PhilHealth, 27,000.

2688
02:13:50,290 --> 02:13:52,290
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: A total of 57,000.

2689
02:13:54,390 --> 02:13:55,950
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Out of 10 million.

2690
02:13:56,270 --> 02:13:57,850
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang hospital billing niya.

2691
02:13:57,930 --> 02:13:59,370
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: That is less than 1%.

2692
02:13:59,370 --> 02:14:02,050
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, tinaasan ng PhilHealth noong Disyembre.

2693
02:14:02,670 --> 02:14:03,950
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Across the board.

2694
02:14:05,450 --> 02:14:06,390
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Across all rates.

2695
02:14:07,310 --> 02:14:09,070
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kaya binila, taasan ng 50%.

2696
02:14:09,070 --> 02:14:13,390
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, tinaasan ng 50% ng 57,000.

2697
02:14:13,470 --> 02:14:15,030
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: That is 28,000 something.

2698
02:14:15,650 --> 02:14:19,410
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, less than 1% pa rin ng nako-cover ng PhilHealth.

2699
02:14:19,510 --> 02:14:21,770
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Napakaliit pa rin po ang nako-cover ng PhilHealth.

2700
02:14:23,650 --> 02:14:26,250
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: I'm sure ilan po sa inyo rito pag na-admit.

2701
02:14:26,270 --> 02:14:35,810
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Huwag naman sana kung nag-a-avail kayo ng packages or coverage ng PhilHealth PCO na

2702
02:14:35,810 --> 02:14:40,270
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na-avail nyo na ho ba yung before po kayo na-appoint.

2703
02:14:41,210 --> 02:14:43,070
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-avail nyo na ho yung PhilHealth services.

2704
02:14:43,770 --> 02:14:44,350
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Maliit ho ba?

2705
02:14:46,230 --> 02:14:47,270
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Naniniwala po kayo na maliit?

2706
02:14:48,790 --> 02:14:49,930
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pwede niyong sagutin po?

2707
02:14:50,730 --> 02:14:51,830
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, yes po.

2708
02:14:52,210 --> 02:14:52,770
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Majority.

2709
02:14:52,770 --> 02:14:54,410
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: I mean, tumaas na po.

2710
02:14:54,550 --> 02:14:56,250
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Pero hindi pa rin po niya fully nako-cover yung kailangan.

2711
02:14:56,270 --> 02:14:57,710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero maliit talaga.

2712
02:14:58,010 --> 02:14:59,990
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kayo po, Secretary Mercado.

2713
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:00,680
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Gaano kaliit

2714
02:15:00,680 --> 02:15:01,640
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: ang coverage

2715
02:15:01,640 --> 02:15:02,540
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: ng PhilHealth.

2716
02:15:02,620 --> 02:15:04,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung pagkakataon

2717
02:15:04,240 --> 02:15:05,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: pong ako yung na-confine

2718
02:15:05,340 --> 02:15:05,620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: naman

2719
02:15:05,620 --> 02:15:07,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: eh substantial naman

2720
02:15:07,040 --> 02:15:08,160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasi pumatak po

2721
02:15:08,160 --> 02:15:09,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dun sa bagong

02:15:09,320 --> 02:15:10,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sa bago na po.

2723
02:15:10,760 --> 02:15:11,100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero yung

2724
02:15:11,100 --> 02:15:11,960
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: prior to that

2725
02:15:11,960 --> 02:15:13,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: talagang napaka-liit.

2726
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:14,660
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So tinanong ko lang po

2727
02:15:14,660 --> 02:15:15,820
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: kung bakit na-aprubahan

2728
02:15:15,820 --> 02:15:16,480
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: nung December

2729
02:15:16,480 --> 02:15:17,280
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: yung case race

2730
02:15:17,280 --> 02:15:17,680
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: kung sana

02:15:18,980 --> 02:15:19,820
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: wala sanang

2733
02:15:19,820 --> 02:15:22,240
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: excess funds

2734
02:15:22,240 --> 02:15:23,240
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: kasi wala naman talaga

2735
02:15:23,240 --> 02:15:23,860
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: excess funds

2736
02:15:23,860 --> 02:15:24,780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: ang PhilHealth.

2737
02:15:25,420 --> 02:15:26,240
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pwede nyo gamitin

2738
02:15:26,240 --> 02:15:27,400
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: sa mga mahihira po ito

2739
02:15:27,400 --> 02:15:28,000
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: para hindi sila

2740
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:29,320
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: matakot magpa-hospital.

2741
02:15:29,320 --> 02:15:30,780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So iyan po yung

2742
02:15:30,780 --> 02:15:31,320
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 2024

2743
02:15:31,860 --> 02:15:32,320
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na nakakalungkot.

02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:38,540

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: importante sa akin

2771
02:16:06,490 --> 02:16:06,990
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: ng health

02:16:06,990 --> 02:16:08,370
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: yung earmark

02:16:08,370 --> 02:16:09,050
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: yung earmark

02:16:09,050 --> 02:16:10,370
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: for sin tax

2775
02:16:10,370 --> 02:16:11,430
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: wala

3260
02:33:24,500 --> 02:33:26,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: legislators will join. But I, the

3261
02:33:26,420 --> 02:33:28,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: chair would just like to ask some questions.

3262
02:33:28,360 --> 02:33:32,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, yung po sa tukos

3263
02:33:32,020 --> 02:33:33,900

3264
02:33:33,900 --> 02:33:35,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: universal healthcare implementation.

3265
02:33:36,720 --> 02:33:38,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doon po tukos sa out-of-pocket

3266
02:33:38,000 --> 02:33:40,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: spending, no? As mentioned earlier.

3267
02:33:40,860 --> 02:33:42,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: It was mentioned earlier that the

3268
02:33:42,220 --> 02:33:44,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: government plans to reduce the household

3269
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:46,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: out-of-pocket share, which

3270
02:33:46,300 --> 02:33:48,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: was mentioned as 41.2%

3271
02:33:48,460 --> 02:33:50,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at present to 28%.

3272
02:33:50,920 --> 02:33:52,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ito yung target natin.

3273
02:33:52,280 --> 02:33:53,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: That will be, of course,

3274
02:33:53,940 --> 02:33:55,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pag yan, maramdam na talaga yan.

3275
02:33:55,880 --> 02:33:58,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: If we can really achieve,

3276
02:33:58,360 --> 02:33:59,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: may we know what year

3277
02:33:59,840 --> 02:34:02,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: do you target

3278
02:34:02,600 --> 02:34:04,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to achieve this? And please show us how

3279
02:34:04,240 --> 02:34:06,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the 2027 budget moves

3280
02:34:06,440 --> 02:34:08,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the country toward that target.

3281
02:34:08,360 --> 02:34:09,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So tingin nyo po ba, no?

3282
02:34:10,520 --> 02:34:12,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Anybody can answer that

3283
02:34:12,020 --> 02:34:14,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ito pong 2027 budget

3284
02:34:14,520 --> 02:34:16,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: would be

3285
02:34:16,800 --> 02:34:17,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: able to move

3286
02:34:17,720 --> 02:34:20,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: our program towards that target,

3287
02:34:20,520 --> 02:34:22,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung pong 28%.

3288
02:34:23,120 --> 02:34:26,420
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, we mentioned po na

3289
02:34:26,420 --> 02:34:28,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: in 2028, the target

3290
02:34:28,160 --> 02:34:30,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: is currently at 37.8%.

3291
02:34:30,160 --> 02:34:32,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Of course,

3292
02:34:32,160 --> 02:34:34,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: it really depends on the

3293
02:34:34,160 --> 02:34:36,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: budget that's

3294
02:34:36,160 --> 02:34:38,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: allowed or that's allocated

3295
02:34:38,160 --> 02:34:40,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to us. In our current

3296
02:34:40,160 --> 02:34:42,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: estimates,

3297
02:34:42,160 --> 02:34:44,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: in

3298
02:34:44,160 --> 02:34:46,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2028,

3299
02:34:46,160 --> 02:34:48,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the PhilHealth

3300
02:34:48,160 --> 02:34:50,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: budget needed under

3301
02:34:50,160 --> 02:34:52,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the PDP target to reach

3302
02:34:52,160 --> 02:34:54,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: this is actually around 800

3303
02:34:54,160 --> 02:34:56,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: billion. And if we wanted

3304
02:34:56,160 --> 02:34:58,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to increase

3305
02:34:58,160 --> 02:35:00,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yes, basically, yun sir.

3306
02:35:00,160 --> 02:35:02,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So it's really dependent

3307
02:35:02,160 --> 02:35:04,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: on our ability to

3308
02:35:04,160 --> 02:35:06,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fund,

3309
02:35:06,160 --> 02:35:08,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to increase the budget, and so

3310
02:35:08,160 --> 02:35:10,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: commensurate din po doon

3311
02:35:10,160 --> 02:35:12,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung pagbaba ng OOP po.

3312
02:35:12,160 --> 02:35:14,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For

3313
02:35:14,160 --> 02:35:16,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: this year,

3314
02:35:16,160 --> 02:35:18,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Phil had requested 376

3315
02:35:18,160 --> 02:35:20,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: billion, but DBM only

3316
02:35:20,160 --> 02:35:22,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: provided 74 billion. Tama, no?

3317
02:35:22,160 --> 02:35:24,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: How much of the reduction

3318
02:35:24,160 --> 02:35:26,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: relates to

3319
02:35:26,160 --> 02:35:28,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: subsidies for indirect

3320
02:35:28,160 --> 02:35:30,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: contributors?

3321
02:35:30,160 --> 02:35:32,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Benefit expansion,

3322
02:35:32,160 --> 02:35:34,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: tong yakap, medicine,

3323
02:35:34,160 --> 02:35:36,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: package benefits, zero balance

3324
02:35:36,160 --> 02:35:38,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: billing, provider

3325
02:35:38,160 --> 02:35:40,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: reimbursements, or other

3326
02:35:40,160 --> 02:35:42,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: expenditures? So

3327
02:35:42,160 --> 02:35:44,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: siguro yung gusto natin malaman.

3328
02:35:44,160 --> 02:35:46,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And then, siyempre,

3329
02:35:46,160 --> 02:35:48,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: from 376 billion to 74

3330
02:35:48,160 --> 02:35:50,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: billion, I'd just like to ask also

3331
02:35:50,160 --> 02:35:52,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: how much is the bare minimum

3332
02:35:52,160 --> 02:35:54,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that PhilHealth would be needing

3333
02:35:54,160 --> 02:35:56,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that these programs

3334
02:35:56,160 --> 02:35:58,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: may not be at least severely affected?

3335
02:35:58,160 --> 02:36:00,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Or at least going to that goal pa rin tayo?

3336
02:36:00,160 --> 02:36:02,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung tingin nyong may

3337
02:36:02,160 --> 02:36:04,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at least bare minimum

3338
02:36:04,160 --> 02:36:06,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that we can

3339
02:36:06,160 --> 02:36:08,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we can

3340
02:36:08,160 --> 02:36:10,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: augment, no? So that kung

3341
02:36:10,160 --> 02:36:12,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ganun kalaki yung difference.

3342
02:36:12,160 --> 02:36:14,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So what

3343
02:36:14,160 --> 02:36:16,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: figure if there is?

3344
02:36:16,160 --> 02:36:18,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sige pa.

3345
02:36:18,160 --> 02:36:20,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, we mentioned

3346
02:36:20,160 --> 02:36:22,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: in our briefing to you that

3347
02:36:22,160 --> 02:36:24,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: when the

3348
02:36:24,160 --> 02:36:26,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 170 billion

3349
02:36:26,160 --> 02:36:28,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: that was originally proposed

3350
02:36:28,160 --> 02:36:30,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: was based on a calculation of

3351
02:36:30,160 --> 02:36:32,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: estimate number of indirect contributors

3352
02:36:32,160 --> 02:36:34,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: with a set premium

3353
02:36:34,160 --> 02:36:36,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: rate. However, we

3354
02:36:36,160 --> 02:36:38,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: understand that another way of

3355
02:36:38,160 --> 02:36:40,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: computing that would be

3356
02:36:40,160 --> 02:36:42,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: what would be our

3357
02:36:42,160 --> 02:36:44,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: sort of like break-even

3358
02:36:44,160 --> 02:36:46,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: cost. And if

3359
02:36:46,160 --> 02:36:48,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we will base it on current

3360
02:36:48,160 --> 02:36:50,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: benefits and current utilization

3361
02:36:50,160 --> 02:36:52,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: rate of indirect contributors

3362
02:36:52,160 --> 02:36:54,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: projected for this whole

3363
02:36:54,160 --> 02:36:56,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: year, that would be

3364
02:36:56,160 --> 02:36:58,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: able to help us estimate what would

3365
02:36:58,160 --> 02:37:00,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: also be our payout at the minimum

3366
02:37:00,160 --> 02:37:02,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: next year. And the total payout is

3367
02:37:02,160 --> 02:37:04,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: around 244 billion.

3368
02:37:04,160 --> 02:37:06,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So 244 minus

3369
02:37:06,160 --> 02:37:08,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the current allocated

3370
02:37:08,160 --> 02:37:10,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 74, that would be the deficit.

3371
02:37:10,160 --> 02:37:12,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: About 200

3372
02:37:12,160 --> 02:37:14,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: About 244 po.

3373
02:37:14,160 --> 02:37:16,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 244.

3374
02:37:16,160 --> 02:37:18,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So what is the

3375
02:37:18,160 --> 02:37:20,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: actuarially appropriated government

3376
02:37:20,160 --> 02:37:22,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: subsidy required to cover all

3377
02:37:22,160 --> 02:37:26,370
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: indirect contributors?

3378
02:37:26,370 --> 02:37:28,370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: That was the original

3379
02:37:28,370 --> 02:37:30,370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: submission.

3380
02:37:30,370 --> 02:37:32,370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Original submission we had

3381
02:37:32,370 --> 02:37:34,370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: which was 370.

3382
02:37:34,370 --> 02:37:39,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay.

3383
02:37:39,500 --> 02:37:41,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung ano na lang po yung usual,

3384
02:37:41,500 --> 02:37:43,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it was

3385
02:37:43,500 --> 02:37:45,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: brought out

3386
02:37:45,500 --> 02:37:47,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: earlier yung po ni

3387
02:37:47,500 --> 02:37:49,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dr. Bongo. How can we increase

3388
02:37:49,500 --> 02:37:51,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: field health participation in hospital bills?

3389
02:37:51,500 --> 02:37:53,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi ito naman talaga

3390
02:37:53,500 --> 02:37:55,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: UHC, reducing the

3391
02:37:55,500 --> 02:37:57,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: out-of-pocket expense

3392
02:37:57,500 --> 02:37:59,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that even the middle class and the

3393
02:37:59,500 --> 02:38:01,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: direct contributors may feel the benefit

3394
02:38:01,500 --> 02:38:03,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: right now. Kasi at least malaking bagay

3395
02:38:03,500 --> 02:38:05,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung zero balance billing and other

3396
02:38:05,500 --> 02:38:07,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: benefits. Pero yung

3397
02:38:07,500 --> 02:38:09,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: middle class kasi na

3398
02:38:09,500 --> 02:38:11,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sila yung direct contributors

3399
02:38:11,500 --> 02:38:13,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: they feel that sometimes they are

3400
02:38:13,500 --> 02:38:15,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: shortchanged. Bisa 100,000

3401
02:38:15,500 --> 02:38:17,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung billing. Tapos

3402
02:38:17,500 --> 02:38:19,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang field health participation is 5,000

3403
02:38:19,500 --> 02:38:21,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to 8,000 lang. So

3404
02:38:21,500 --> 02:38:23,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: what can we do? Is it

3405
02:38:23,500 --> 02:38:25,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: increase in subsidy

3406
02:38:25,500 --> 02:38:27,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: more subsidy so that we can increase

3407
02:38:27,500 --> 02:38:29,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the participation? Or is it yung

3408
02:38:29,500 --> 02:38:31,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: case rates?

3409
02:38:31,500 --> 02:38:33,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na-update na po

3410
02:38:33,500 --> 02:38:35,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: natin. So sige pa.

3411
02:38:37,500 --> 02:38:39,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, so we have multiple

3412
02:38:39,500 --> 02:38:41,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: strategies to address that.

3413
02:38:41,500 --> 02:38:43,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Definitely,

3414
02:38:43,500 --> 02:38:45,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we need to be able to

3415
02:38:45,500 --> 02:38:47,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: control some of the

3416
02:38:47,500 --> 02:38:49,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: expenses, right?

3417
02:38:49,500 --> 02:38:51,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: We can't keep increasing the rates

3418
02:38:51,500 --> 02:38:53,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and that would just result into

3419
02:38:53,500 --> 02:38:55,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: unnecessary inflation. So

3420
02:38:55,500 --> 02:38:57,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: for that, our

3421
02:38:57,500 --> 02:38:59,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: goal is to be able to negotiate

3422
02:38:59,500 --> 02:39:01,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: more directly with hospitals

3423
02:39:01,500 --> 02:39:03,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and that would mean the

3424
02:39:03,500 --> 02:39:05,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: hospitals needing to work with their

3425
02:39:05,500 --> 02:39:07,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: physicians. And in parallel,

3426
02:39:07,500 --> 02:39:09,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we are working with the medical societies

3427
02:39:09,500 --> 02:39:11,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to look at how much we may

3428
02:39:11,500 --> 02:39:13,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: be able to work with them

3429
02:39:13,500 --> 02:39:15,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to sort of standardize

3430
02:39:15,500 --> 02:39:17,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: some of the professional fees

3431
02:39:17,500 --> 02:39:19,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: at least for the most common rates. So

3432
02:39:19,500 --> 02:39:21,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: that would be the first one. Second

3433
02:39:21,500 --> 02:39:23,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: would be for hospitals that agree

3434
02:39:23,500 --> 02:39:25,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to increase their no balance

3435
02:39:25,500 --> 02:39:27,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: billing beds. Ngayon naman po required

3436
02:39:27,500 --> 02:39:29,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: lang yung government hospital

3437
02:39:29,500 --> 02:39:31,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng 90% and yung private

3438
02:39:31,500 --> 02:39:33,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng 10%.

3439
02:39:33,500 --> 02:39:35,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Those who will abide by

3440
02:39:35,500 --> 02:39:37,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: those numbers or even increase

3441
02:39:37,500 --> 02:39:39,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: more, we are

3442
02:39:39,500 --> 02:39:41,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: contemplating to do

3443
02:39:41,500 --> 02:39:43,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: global budget for them or advance

3444
02:39:43,500 --> 02:39:45,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: payments. The UHC law

3445
02:39:45,500 --> 02:39:47,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: also specifically

3446
02:39:47,500 --> 02:39:49,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mentioned to use

3447
02:39:49,500 --> 02:39:51,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: diagnosis-related groupings, meaning

3448
02:39:51,500 --> 02:39:53,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ngayon po kahit tinaasa natin

3449
02:39:53,500 --> 02:39:55,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung case rate natin, we

3450
02:39:55,500 --> 02:39:57,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: expect that for

3451
02:39:57,500 --> 02:39:59,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: patients with comorbidities,

3452
02:39:59,500 --> 02:40:01,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: older age, etc.,

3453
02:40:01,500 --> 02:40:03,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: medyo mas malaki rin naman po talaga

3454
02:40:03,500 --> 02:40:05,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung case rates nila. So

3455
02:40:05,500 --> 02:40:07,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we have started collecting data,

3456
02:40:07,500 --> 02:40:09,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung CF2 and

3457
02:40:09,500 --> 02:40:11,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: CF5 data, and yun po yung gagamitin

3458
02:40:11,500 --> 02:40:13,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: natin as modifiers

3459
02:40:13,500 --> 02:40:15,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: para mataasan pa

3460
02:40:15,500 --> 02:40:17,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng konti yung rates for select

3461
02:40:17,500 --> 02:40:19,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: types of patients. And then

3462
02:40:19,500 --> 02:40:21,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: lastly, we also have a work

3463
02:40:21,500 --> 02:40:23,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: stream currently to work

3464
02:40:23,500 --> 02:40:25,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: with HMOs.

3465
02:40:25,500 --> 02:40:27,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And that's partly

3466
02:40:27,500 --> 02:40:29,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: for benefit complementation

3467
02:40:29,500 --> 02:40:31,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: as well as future

3468
02:40:31,500 --> 02:40:33,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: plans for a PhilHealth Plus

3469
02:40:33,500 --> 02:40:35,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: or yung supplementary insurance, which is

3470
02:40:35,500 --> 02:40:37,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: also under the UHC Act.

3471
02:40:37,500 --> 02:40:39,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

3472
02:40:39,500 --> 02:40:41,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We welcome. We're actually

3473
02:40:41,500 --> 02:40:43,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: through the years,

3474
02:40:43,500 --> 02:40:45,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we're entering the seventh year of

3475
02:40:45,500 --> 02:40:47,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: implementation of UHC. At least ngayon

3476
02:40:47,500 --> 02:40:49,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: medyo nag-improve na. Well, of course,

3477
02:40:49,500 --> 02:40:51,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: under Dr. Mercado, yung inyong pong

3478
02:40:51,500 --> 02:40:53,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: paghahawak sa PhilHealth

3479
02:40:53,500 --> 02:40:55,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-improve, and I'm sure it will further

3480
02:40:55,500 --> 02:40:57,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: improve now that you're secretaried with

3481
02:40:57,500 --> 02:40:59,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dr. Beverly.

3482
02:40:59,500 --> 02:41:01,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nag-improve na rin yung participation

3483
02:41:01,500 --> 02:41:03,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ng Zero Balance Bill. Ang problema lang,

3484
02:41:03,500 --> 02:41:05,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: as mentioned by Dr.

3485
02:41:05,500 --> 02:41:07,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DocBev, yung medical inflation

3486
02:41:07,500 --> 02:41:09,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and professional fees.

3487
02:41:09,500 --> 02:41:11,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We welcome

3488
02:41:11,500 --> 02:41:13,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the expansion of PhilHealth

3489
02:41:13,500 --> 02:41:15,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: benefits because the goal is to

3490
02:41:15,500 --> 02:41:17,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: bring down the out-of-pocket

3491
02:41:17,500 --> 02:41:19,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: expense of patients.

3492
02:41:19,500 --> 02:41:21,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: However, ang nangyari

3493
02:41:21,500 --> 02:41:23,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: po kasi, ang nangyayari,

3494
02:41:23,500 --> 02:41:25,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it doesn't

3495
02:41:25,500 --> 02:41:27,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mean that higher PhilHealth benefits

3496
02:41:27,500 --> 02:41:29,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: simply result in higher hospital charges

3497
02:41:29,500 --> 02:41:31,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and professional fees.

3498
02:41:31,500 --> 02:41:33,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nangyari siguro, dahil gumanda

3499
02:41:33,500 --> 02:41:35,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang packages ng PhilHealth,

3500
02:41:35,500 --> 02:41:37,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: tapos meron pa tayo ma-EFIP,

3501
02:41:37,500 --> 02:41:39,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang problema,

3502
02:41:39,500 --> 02:41:41,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naging limited na yung benefits kasi

3503
02:41:41,500 --> 02:41:43,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals

3504
02:41:43,500 --> 02:41:45,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and even doctors

3505
02:41:45,500 --> 02:41:47,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: increase their professional fees.

3506
02:41:47,500 --> 02:41:49,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doctor, ah, hospitals

3507
02:41:49,500 --> 02:41:51,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ah, increase their billings,

3508
02:41:51,500 --> 02:41:53,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: no, yung kanilang

3509
02:41:53,500 --> 02:41:55,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: charges. So,

3510
02:41:55,500 --> 02:41:57,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: minsan nga ako may nakausap ako,

3511
02:41:57,500 --> 02:41:59,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sir President,

3512
02:41:59,500 --> 02:42:01,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: may nakausap mga mayors, kasi mga mayors tayo

3513
02:42:01,500 --> 02:42:03,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nakakausap natin.

3514
02:42:03,500 --> 02:42:05,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Meron daw ma-EFIP na ibinigay sa kanila

3515
02:42:05,500 --> 02:42:07,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na worth 5 million. Dati ang dami hong

3516
02:42:07,500 --> 02:42:09,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naku-cover, no,

3517
02:42:09,500 --> 02:42:11,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na pasyente. Pero ngayon daw,

3518
02:42:11,500 --> 02:42:13,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sampu na lang minsan

3519
02:42:13,500 --> 02:42:15,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: or ilan na lang kasi

3520
02:42:15,500 --> 02:42:17,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sabi niya, ngayon ang

3521
02:42:17,500 --> 02:42:19,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospital bill kasi hindi na bumaba

3522
02:42:19,500 --> 02:42:21,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pa ng six digits.

3523
02:42:21,500 --> 02:42:23,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, ano siguro dito,

3524
02:42:23,500 --> 02:42:25,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: another challenge is

3525
02:42:25,500 --> 02:42:27,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang nagiging

3526
02:42:27,500 --> 02:42:29,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: rason ng mga

3527
02:42:29,500 --> 02:42:31,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals and doctors kasi matagal daw

3528
02:42:31,500 --> 02:42:33,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung bayad, yung processing ng PhilHealth.

3529
02:42:33,500 --> 02:42:35,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Do we, can we do something about this

3530
02:42:35,500 --> 02:42:37,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: para hindi na, sinasabi lang

3531
02:42:37,500 --> 02:42:39,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kaya nila nilataasan kasi

3532
02:42:39,500 --> 02:42:41,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: cost of money at lahat. So,

3533
02:42:41,500 --> 02:42:43,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yun ang nangyayari. I'm sure that

3534
02:42:43,500 --> 02:42:45,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: this will be

3535
02:42:45,500 --> 02:42:47,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: given attention at may ayos

3536
02:42:47,500 --> 02:42:49,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: natin to. Yun lang po, yung

3537
02:42:49,500 --> 02:42:51,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: medical inflation, no, na

3538
02:42:51,500 --> 02:42:53,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sayang kasi yung benefit ng PhilHealth

3539
02:42:53,500 --> 02:42:55,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-improve, yung ma-EFIP

3540
02:42:55,500 --> 02:42:57,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nandyan. Kaya lang, ganun din.

3541
02:42:57,500 --> 02:42:59,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nagtaasa na ba ng fees ng

3542
02:42:59,500 --> 02:43:01,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: doktor tapos ng mga hospital?

3543
02:43:01,500 --> 02:43:03,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So,

3544
02:43:03,500 --> 02:43:05,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yun, what can we do about this

3545
02:43:05,500 --> 02:43:07,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doc Bev? And siguro Secretary

3546
02:43:07,500 --> 02:43:08,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mercado also.

3547
02:43:08,880 --> 02:43:09,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, Chair,

3548
02:43:09,500 --> 02:43:11,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: dun sa claims turnaround

3549
02:43:11,500 --> 02:43:13,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: time on the reforms that

3550
02:43:13,500 --> 02:43:15,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Doc Edwin has already started, our claims

3551
02:43:15,500 --> 02:43:17,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: turnaround time on average

3552
02:43:17,500 --> 02:43:19,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: is already at around 19,

3553
02:43:19,500 --> 02:43:21,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: no, and in some regions, 19

3554
02:43:21,500 --> 02:43:23,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: days and in some regions, it's actually already

3555
02:43:23,500 --> 02:43:25,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: down to even 10 days.

3556
02:43:25,500 --> 02:43:27,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: What we also need to

3557
02:43:27,500 --> 02:43:29,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fix is because we,

3558
02:43:29,500 --> 02:43:31,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: at least for private hospitals, we pay

3559
02:43:31,500 --> 02:43:33,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the whole fee to the hospitals

3560
02:43:33,500 --> 02:43:35,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and we also receive reports that

3561
02:43:35,500 --> 02:43:37,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: some hospitals don't easily

3562
02:43:37,500 --> 02:43:39,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: remit the fees to the physicians.

3563
02:43:39,500 --> 02:43:41,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, minsan as

3564
02:43:41,500 --> 02:43:43,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: far back as 6 to 9

3565
02:43:43,500 --> 02:43:45,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: months bago po nila binibigay, no. So, may

3566
02:43:45,500 --> 02:43:47,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mga reminders na dun pero

3567
02:43:47,500 --> 02:43:49,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: maybe we also need to have

3568
02:43:49,500 --> 02:43:51,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: stricter rules around it

3569
02:43:51,500 --> 02:43:53,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: for those that keep

3570
02:43:53,500 --> 02:43:55,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the money.

3571
02:43:55,500 --> 02:43:57,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair,

3572
02:44:01,500 --> 02:44:03,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, the

3573
02:44:03,500 --> 02:44:05,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: maipipa sa second payer

3574
02:44:05,500 --> 02:44:07,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: should really be

3575
02:44:07,500 --> 02:44:09,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: also strategic. So,

3576
02:44:09,500 --> 02:44:11,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in much the same way that PhilHealth is

3577
02:44:11,500 --> 02:44:13,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: looking at a contracted

3578
02:44:13,500 --> 02:44:15,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: arrangement with

3579
02:44:15,500 --> 02:44:17,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: private hospitals especially because

3580
02:44:17,500 --> 02:44:19,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: of the provision that 10% of their

3581
02:44:19,500 --> 02:44:21,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: bed should be NBB.

3582
02:44:21,500 --> 02:44:23,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Alam po namin na may mga

3583
02:44:23,500 --> 02:44:25,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: case rates na hindi pa rin sapat.

3584
02:44:25,500 --> 02:44:27,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, supposedly dun ang maipip.

3585
02:44:27,500 --> 02:44:29,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, along that line, ang plano

3586
02:44:29,500 --> 02:44:31,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ko rin po sa DOH Maipip

3587
02:44:31,500 --> 02:44:33,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para po dun sa mga mas matataas na uri

3588
02:44:33,500 --> 02:44:35,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng sakit na yung mga private hospitals

3589
02:44:35,500 --> 02:44:37,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang meron ay talaga pong

3590
02:44:37,500 --> 02:44:39,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kausapin din yung private hospital and

3591
02:44:39,500 --> 02:44:41,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: negotiate on a fixed

3592
02:44:41,500 --> 02:44:43,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: payment scheme based on

3593
02:44:43,500 --> 02:44:45,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: a lot of ways. It could be

3594
02:44:45,500 --> 02:44:47,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: RVU times certain

3595
02:44:47,500 --> 02:44:49,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: multiple including the professional fees.

3596
02:44:49,500 --> 02:44:51,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And even

3597
02:44:51,500 --> 02:44:53,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in the same way, front-loaded.

3598
02:44:53,500 --> 02:44:55,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pinag-usapan na po namin yung EMA-IFU po

3599
02:44:55,500 --> 02:44:57,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasi virtual front-loading eh.

3600
02:44:57,500 --> 02:44:59,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Binibigay na yun sa may allocation

3601
02:44:59,560 --> 02:44:59,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na per

3602
02:44:59,900 --> 02:45:02,100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: government hospital. We are already

3603
02:45:02,100 --> 02:45:03,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: expanding from DOH to LGU hospital.

3604
02:45:04,400 --> 02:45:06,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero sabi ko, pwede ba natin physically

3605
02:45:06,480 --> 02:45:07,960
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: makuha rin para

3606
02:45:07,960 --> 02:45:10,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: magamit na ng mga hospital for their

3607
02:45:10,200 --> 02:45:12,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: utilization and

3608
02:45:12,240 --> 02:45:14,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: purchase of commodities para maibaba

3609
02:45:14,380 --> 02:45:16,280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nila dahil front-loaded nga.

3610
02:45:16,640 --> 02:45:18,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun po yung tinitingnan namin

3611
02:45:18,260 --> 02:45:19,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if it should cover

3612
02:45:19,840 --> 02:45:22,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: those that are not beyond PhilHealth

3613
02:45:22,040 --> 02:45:24,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: but on a negotiated rate. And once we have

3614
02:45:24,260 --> 02:45:26,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the data, baka yun din po yung

3615
02:45:26,200 --> 02:45:28,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: magpagbasihan na ibigay na natin sa PhilHealth.

3616
02:45:28,360 --> 02:45:30,460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Sa PhilHealth, yung portion na yun

3617
02:45:30,460 --> 02:45:32,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para wala na ma-cover

3618
02:45:32,380 --> 02:45:34,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung MAIFIP dahil ikaw na magko-cover.

3619
02:45:34,740 --> 02:45:36,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun po yung progression

3620
02:45:36,240 --> 02:45:37,300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na nakikita ko po.

3621
02:45:40,180 --> 02:45:41,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, ano lang.

3622
02:45:41,780 --> 02:45:43,860
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: As Dr. Bonga would like to ask, pero yung siguro

3623
02:45:43,860 --> 02:45:46,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sana yung concrete measures will be

3624
02:45:47,180 --> 02:45:48,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: there will be concrete

3625
02:45:48,420 --> 02:45:50,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: measures from DOH and PhilHealth

3626
02:45:50,380 --> 02:45:51,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that will be put in place

3627
02:45:51,900 --> 02:45:54,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for 2026 to make sure that the expansion

3628
02:45:54,480 --> 02:45:56,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: of the benefits of

3629
02:45:56,460 --> 02:45:57,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: PhilHealth and MAIFIP

3630
02:45:57,820 --> 02:46:00,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: funding will not simply be eaten up

3631
02:46:00,220 --> 02:46:01,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: by medical inflation

3632
02:46:01,480 --> 02:46:04,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for higher hospital

3633
02:46:04,460 --> 02:46:06,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: charges and professional fees.

3634
02:46:06,320 --> 02:46:07,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So yun lang yung ano natin gawin

3635
02:46:07,620 --> 02:46:09,680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: siguro para hindi nung masaya kasi

3636
02:46:09,680 --> 02:46:12,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-improve nga tayo pero kinakain naman

3637
02:46:12,140 --> 02:46:13,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung medical inflation.

3638
02:46:14,100 --> 02:46:14,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So,

3639
02:46:15,920 --> 02:46:16,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sige, Senator Bongo.

3938
02:56:17,280 --> 02:56:19,600

02:56:19,600 --> 02:56:21,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: packages will be covered

3940
02:56:21,640 --> 02:56:22,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: by PhilHealth?

3941
02:56:23,040 --> 02:56:24,360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, we have

3942
02:56:24,360 --> 02:56:25,520
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: existing mental health

02:56:25,540 --> 02:56:27,440
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: package po. General

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mental health service and specialist

3945
02:56:29,220 --> 02:56:31,460
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mental health package. But

3946
02:56:31,460 --> 02:56:33,260
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we've also seen that

3947
02:56:33,260 --> 02:56:34,780
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: since 2025,

3948
02:56:35,540 --> 02:56:37,180
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: hindi po masyado malaki yung

3949
02:56:37,180 --> 02:56:39,300
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: utilization po nitong packages na to.

3950
02:56:39,440 --> 02:56:41,340
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, for example, in 2025,

3951
02:56:41,600 --> 02:56:43,380
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mga 7,500 claims

3952
02:56:43,380 --> 02:56:44,820
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: lang ito. And this year, mga

3953
02:56:44,820 --> 02:56:47,540
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 651 claims pa lang.

3954
02:56:48,460 --> 02:56:49,380
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And so, part

3955
02:56:49,380 --> 02:56:51,580
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: of the reason would be

3956
02:56:51,580 --> 02:56:53,480
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we need to increase the number of

3957
02:56:53,480 --> 02:56:54,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: providers.

3958
02:56:55,540 --> 02:56:57,700
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And yun yung sinabi po ni Sec. Edwin

3959
02:56:57,700 --> 02:56:59,420
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: na isa pong na-identified

3960
02:56:59,420 --> 02:57:01,400
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: is konti lang po yung nagtitrain

3961
02:57:01,400 --> 02:57:03,600
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng MHGAP. So, hindi kami maka-accredit.

3962
02:57:03,760 --> 02:57:05,720
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we're working with NCMH

3963
02:57:05,720 --> 02:57:06,460
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: na po on this.

3964
02:57:11,010 --> 02:57:13,490
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung problema siguro, people just do not

3965
02:57:13,490 --> 02:57:15,550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: know. Just like yung naging challenge

3966
02:57:15,550 --> 02:57:17,490
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa PhilHealth, sa ano natin

3967
02:57:17,490 --> 02:57:19,370
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa UHC noon, people are not aware of the

3968
02:57:19,370 --> 02:57:20,410
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: packages. So, probably

3969
02:57:20,410 --> 02:57:23,770
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: our PCO,

3970
02:57:24,030 --> 02:57:24,850
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung mga information

02:57:24,850 --> 02:57:27,430
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: agencies, has to

3972
02:57:27,430 --> 02:57:29,390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: inform. Kailangan nilang

3973
02:57:29,410 --> 02:57:31,070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: i-double time. Kasi sayang naman, no?

3974
02:57:31,770 --> 02:57:33,630
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DOH, PhilHealth, is offering

3975
02:57:33,630 --> 02:57:35,570
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mental health programs

3976
02:57:35,570 --> 02:57:37,350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that are not being availed. Sayang.

3977
02:57:37,450 --> 02:57:39,410
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Meron tayong mga free maintenance medicines

3978
02:57:39,410 --> 02:57:41,670
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that are available

3979
02:57:41,670 --> 02:57:42,530
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: in selected

3980
02:57:42,530 --> 02:57:45,850
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DOH

3981
02:57:45,850 --> 02:57:47,430
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals, I believe, no?

3982
02:57:47,590 --> 02:57:49,030
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, yun po, siguro.

3983
02:57:49,790 --> 02:57:51,430
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, just before we end,

3984
02:57:51,510 --> 02:57:53,290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: probably can go on details

3985
02:57:53,290 --> 02:57:54,070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: later on.

3986
02:57:55,750 --> 02:57:57,470
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because it has been touched already,

3987
02:57:57,470 --> 02:57:59,070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pagdating puro sa HVEP,

3988
02:57:59,410 --> 02:58:02,550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nabanggit kasi si

3989
02:58:02,550 --> 02:58:03,690
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Laxon kasi, no?

3990
02:58:04,950 --> 02:58:06,730
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi lang daw mabanggit.

3991
02:58:07,390 --> 02:58:08,390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero, it's

3992
02:58:08,390 --> 02:58:10,690
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sometimes, there are some legislators

3993
02:58:10,690 --> 02:58:12,210
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: or that

3994
02:58:12,210 --> 02:58:14,650
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kumbaga, insist

3995
02:58:14,650 --> 02:58:14,910
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: on

02:58:14,910 --> 02:58:18,730
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: their program, kung ano po yung gusto

3997
02:58:18,730 --> 02:58:20,590
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nila. So, pagdating sa HVEP,

3998
02:58:20,670 --> 02:58:21,710
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I agree that

3999
02:58:21,710 --> 02:58:24,390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: dapat ang DOH ang magpasya,

4000
02:58:24,550 --> 02:58:26,890
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kayo po ang dapat mag-identify at mag-prioritize

4001
02:58:26,890 --> 02:58:28,790
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa mga proyektong ponduhan based on the actual

4002
02:58:28,790 --> 02:58:31,050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: health needs, service gaps,

4003
02:58:31,190 --> 02:58:33,210
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and readiness ng isang lugar, no?

4004
02:58:33,250 --> 02:58:34,190
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kayo, anyway,

4005
02:58:34,410 --> 02:58:36,770
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: part of, we understand that

4006
02:58:36,770 --> 02:58:39,370
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: part of the, sabi nga, power of the purse,

4007
02:58:40,570 --> 02:58:43,310
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: not all insertions or amendments

4008
02:58:43,310 --> 02:58:44,890
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: are bad, no? Pero meron namang,

4009
02:58:45,030 --> 02:58:46,570
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: halimbawa, for example, as I mentioned,

4010
02:58:47,210 --> 02:58:48,450
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I go around the country,

4011
02:58:48,890 --> 02:58:50,730
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: meron akong, I come across,

4012
02:58:50,790 --> 02:58:52,490
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sometimes I visit hospitals and

4013
02:58:52,490 --> 02:58:53,930
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: provinces who

4014
02:58:53,930 --> 02:58:55,390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ask for

4015
02:58:55,390 --> 02:58:58,770
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: assistance,

4016
02:58:58,790 --> 02:59:00,630
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: para ma-improve yung facilities nila,

4017
02:59:01,450 --> 02:59:02,550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: siyempre, I would recommend,

4018
02:59:02,670 --> 02:59:04,770

4019
02:59:04,930 --> 02:59:07,130
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: but it will be you,

4020

4021
02:59:09,390 --> 02:59:10,990

4022
02:59:11,070 --> 02:59:13,130

02:59:24,610 --> 02:59:26,830

4082
03:01:09,320 --> 03:01:12,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: identified specialty centers,

4083
03:01:12,300 --> 03:01:14,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naging nabisita ko Northern Mindanao Medical Center,

4084
03:01:14,680 --> 03:01:16,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-hire an open heart surgery,

4085
03:01:16,720 --> 03:01:18,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Southern Philippines Medical Center,

4086
03:01:18,300 --> 03:01:20,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: likewise. Tapos, sagulit nga ako

4087
03:01:20,440 --> 03:01:22,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa PJ Garcia, sa Nueva Ecija,

4088
03:01:22,660 --> 03:01:24,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na isa sa mapinunduhan natin noon.

4089
03:01:25,280 --> 03:01:26,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nakita ko sa monitor,

4090
03:01:26,700 --> 03:01:28,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ongoing kidney transplantation,

4091
03:01:28,220 --> 03:01:29,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: transplant, no? So,

4092
03:01:30,400 --> 03:01:31,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa Visoto, ganun din.

4093
03:01:32,240 --> 03:01:34,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, we are slowly

4094
03:01:34,460 --> 03:01:36,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: improving, pero ang gusto natin

4095
03:01:36,100 --> 03:01:38,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ma-improve naman natin ngayon, sabi ko nga,

4096
03:01:38,660 --> 03:01:40,160

03:01:40,160 --> 03:01:42,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DOH and the Apex hospitals are now

4098
03:01:42,160 --> 03:01:43,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: well-funded and have been

4099
03:01:43,960 --> 03:01:46,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: improving the identified specialty

4100
03:01:46,340 --> 03:01:48,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: centers, we have to improve

4101
03:01:48,200 --> 03:01:49,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: also the local

4102
03:01:49,640 --> 03:01:52,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: government hospitals, no? Para yung

4103
03:01:52,120 --> 03:01:54,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: primary and secondary care,

4104
03:01:54,760 --> 03:01:56,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mapaganda rin natin. Kasi

4105
03:01:56,200 --> 03:01:57,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang nangyayari kasi ngayon,

4106
03:01:58,220 --> 03:02:00,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: dahil maganda ang mga

4107
03:02:00,240 --> 03:02:02,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DOH hospitals, nagsisiksikan

4108
03:02:02,540 --> 03:02:04,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: doon. Now, overwhelmed.

4109
03:02:04,720 --> 03:02:06,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Diba? Now, overwhelmed ang ating mga

4110
03:02:06,360 --> 03:02:08,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospital

4111
03:02:08,380 --> 03:02:10,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: facilities. Gali po ako

4112
03:02:10,100 --> 03:02:12,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Cebu, nagsabi sa akin sa

4113
03:02:12,000 --> 03:02:14,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Visoto Medical Center, in order for

4114
03:02:14,100 --> 03:02:16,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: a patient now to be able to

4115
03:02:16,580 --> 03:02:18,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to be accommodated,

4116
03:02:18,880 --> 03:02:19,680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: tatlong buwan daw.

4117
03:02:20,180 --> 03:02:21,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ganong karami, ganong kahaba, kasi

4118
03:02:21,980 --> 03:02:23,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it caters to the whole Central Visaya.

4119
03:02:23,920 --> 03:02:26,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, I think we really

4120
03:02:26,100 --> 03:02:28,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: have to improve also the provincial,

4121
03:02:28,220 --> 03:02:29,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and the local hospitals

4122
03:02:29,920 --> 03:02:32,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: para those cases

4123
03:02:32,180 --> 03:02:33,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: or yung mga surgeries na kaya

4124
03:02:33,980 --> 03:02:35,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naman igawin dito sa

4125
03:02:35,640 --> 03:02:37,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: provincial level, local level,

4126
03:02:38,440 --> 03:02:39,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magawa na rito para hindi

4127
03:02:39,780 --> 03:02:41,940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung mga Apex and specialty

4128
03:02:41,940 --> 03:02:43,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: centers can concentrate

4129
03:02:43,800 --> 03:02:45,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: on the more complex or the

4130
03:02:45,820 --> 03:02:47,680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung mga

4131
03:02:47,680 --> 03:02:50,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: more complicated diseases. So, yun po.

4132
03:02:50,160 --> 03:02:51,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero, but in the end,

4133
03:02:51,800 --> 03:02:54,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sekmercado, kayo po ang masusunod

4134
03:02:54,080 --> 03:02:56,120

4135
03:02:56,120 --> 03:02:57,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: be funded. Hindi po dapat

4136
03:02:58,220 --> 03:03:00,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kami, kasi kayo po ang may alam

4137
03:03:00,080 --> 03:03:01,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kung ano ang

4138
03:03:01,000 --> 03:03:04,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: linya nyo po yan. We recommend,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: governors asking for our help.

4143
03:03:12,080 --> 03:03:13,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But we will recommend

4145
03:03:16,120 --> 03:03:17,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: health facilities. Pero in the end,

4146
03:03:18,020 --> 03:03:20,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kayo po dapat ang masunod dito. And we have to

4147
03:03:20,080 --> 03:03:21,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: be firm on this.

4148
03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:23,320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na hindi dapat

4149
03:03:23,320 --> 03:03:25,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magamit na maayos ng tama

4150

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: itong health facilities enhancement program.

4151
03:03:28,060 --> 03:03:30,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi nga, sabihin ko na sa inyo,

4152
03:03:30,780 --> 03:03:32,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: binagbabalakan na po ito

4153
03:03:32,220 --> 03:03:34,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na bawasan. Kasi nga

4154
03:03:34,180 --> 03:03:36,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: po yung utilization daw mababa.

4155
03:03:36,560 --> 03:03:37,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: No? So,

4156
03:03:38,160 --> 03:03:39,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: but I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,

4227
03:06:00,020 --> 03:06:02,000

4230
03:06:06,000 --> 03:06:07,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: secondary, no? So, nasa sa inyo po

4234

4236
03:06:18,080 --> 03:06:19,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mahira po talaga. It's

4237
03:06:19,640 --> 03:06:22,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mabigat, no? So, we really need to support

4238
03:06:22,060 --> 03:06:24,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and help improve the facilities as well.

4239
03:06:24,740 --> 03:06:25,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ang isip ko rin kasi, para

4243
03:06:31,980 --> 03:06:33,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the more complicated cases

4244
03:06:33,960 --> 03:06:35,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and diseases. So, again,

Senator Joel Villanueva: vis-a-vis its GDP

4586
04:22:03,400 --> 04:22:06,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair

4587
04:22:06,220 --> 04:22:07,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if we

4588
04:22:07,720 --> 04:22:10,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: look at total healthcare expenditure

4589
04:22:10,060 --> 04:22:10,280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: or the total healthcare expenditure

4590
04:22:10,300 --> 04:22:12,340

04:22:14,380 --> 04:22:15,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: expenditures

4593
04:22:15,080 --> 04:22:17,460

4594
04:22:17,460 --> 04:22:20,660

4595
04:22:20,660 --> 04:22:22,120

4596
04:22:22,120 --> 04:22:23,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: as a percentage of GDP

4597
04:22:23,400 --> 04:22:26,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ngayon po ang 1.1% po is only

4598
04:22:26,480 --> 04:22:28,080

4601
04:22:32,320 --> 04:22:33,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: based on PSA data

Senator Joel Villanueva: sa simula ng taong 2026, 14% up to 15% ng kabuhang hospital bill

4969
04:30:37,670 --> 04:30:40,010
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang binabayaran ng PhilHealth.

4970
04:30:40,370 --> 04:30:51,170
Senator Joel Villanueva: So sa 59 pesos na natipid nung pasyente dahil 41 pesos yung binayad niya,

4971
04:30:51,970 --> 04:30:55,870
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung 59, 14%-15% doon ang PhilHealth.

4972
04:30:55,870 --> 04:31:05,830
Senator Joel Villanueva: So yung iba galing sa probably tulong pinansyal ng ako indigent ka sa malasakit,

4973
04:31:05,990 --> 04:31:15,490
Senator Joel Villanueva: nag-fall counter doon sa malasakit program, merong DSWD siguro, financial assistance doon sa LGUs, etc.

4974
04:31:15,490 --> 04:31:25,490
Senator Joel Villanueva: So yung question ulit is, ang sasabihin ng tao is ito bang 14-15% lalaki ito by 2027?

4975
04:31:25,870 --> 04:31:30,830
Senator Joel Villanueva: And how do we make sure na lalaki talaga po ito?

4976
04:31:31,050 --> 04:31:32,170
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sige ma'am, thank you.

4977
04:31:33,250 --> 04:31:41,810
Senator Joel Villanueva: But I'm sure before you answer, we wanted to recognize, the chair would recognize our health champion here in the Senate.

4978
04:31:42,210 --> 04:31:48,790
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, before you answer, the chair would like to recognize the press of our Senator Pia Pagkaitana.

4979
04:31:48,910 --> 04:31:50,990
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you ma'am for joining us. Please proceed.

4980
04:31:50,990 --> 04:31:56,510
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, siguro the way to answer your question po is,

4981
04:31:56,850 --> 04:32:01,750
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: at least for the no-balance billing beds, both in public and private hospitals,

4982
04:32:02,190 --> 04:32:07,610
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: which are around 60,000 beds, estimate 60,000 beds,

4983
04:32:08,270 --> 04:32:13,030
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: doon po dapat ang goal namin ay wala po silang out-of-pocket payment.

4984
04:32:13,670 --> 04:32:17,690
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Siyempre, kapag napunta na po sila sa semi-private, private rooms,

4985
04:32:17,690 --> 04:32:19,890
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: then the out-of-pocket payment,

4986
04:32:19,890 --> 04:32:23,850
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: will hopefully be more predictable.

4987
04:32:24,330 --> 04:32:28,850
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, ibig lang sabihin, hindi natin kaya i-cover yun lahat kasi mga amenities yun.

4988
04:32:29,230 --> 04:32:33,550
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Pero ang goal po namin is makapag-negotiate with the hospitals to say,

4989
04:32:33,910 --> 04:32:37,710
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: baka sa semi-private, pag may ganitong package yung PhilHealth,

4990
04:32:37,830 --> 04:32:40,750
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: additional 5,000, additional 10,000 siya.

4991
04:32:40,810 --> 04:32:45,070
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, mas predictable instead of yung mabil-shock sila or magulat po sila.

4992
04:32:45,070 --> 04:32:49,070
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'll go to that later, itong zero-balance billing.

4993
04:32:49,890 --> 04:33:00,250
Senator Joel Villanueva: In a previous, I forgot where I heard about PhilHealth's target or desire

4994
04:33:00,250 --> 04:33:05,170
Senator Joel Villanueva: to raise the 14-15% doubling it.

4995
04:33:05,290 --> 04:33:07,650
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't know if I heard it from you, ma'am, actually,

4996
04:33:07,750 --> 04:33:13,790
Senator Joel Villanueva: but I encountered this article na that's part of the goal,

4997
04:33:13,790 --> 04:33:19,790
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung doblehin from 14-15 maging 25 to actually,

4998
04:33:19,890 --> 04:33:21,630
Senator Joel Villanueva: actually, to 30%.

4999
04:33:21,630 --> 04:33:31,390
Senator Joel Villanueva: And that's part noong pagpapalawak po noong funding natin sa universal healthcare law.

5000
04:33:31,810 --> 04:33:35,030
Senator Joel Villanueva: Is that correct? Is that an accurate statement, ma'am?

5001
04:33:35,730 --> 04:33:36,550
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yes, Chair.

5002
04:33:36,690 --> 04:33:43,930
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yung increasing the PhilHealth share to as much as 30% of the total health expenditure.

5003
04:33:43,930 --> 04:33:46,250
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Ngayon po kasi nasa 19% siya.

5004
04:33:48,900 --> 04:33:50,000
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, okay.

5005
04:33:51,260 --> 04:33:53,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's a welcome development.

5006
04:33:54,280 --> 04:33:57,300
Senator Joel Villanueva: But puntahan po natin yung sinasabi nyo,

5007
04:33:57,360 --> 04:34:06,100
Senator Joel Villanueva: 60,000 beds sa yung tinatarget ng zero-balance billing.

5008
04:34:06,360 --> 04:34:08,060
Senator Joel Villanueva: In fact, when we heard about this,

5009
04:34:08,140 --> 04:34:10,320
Senator Joel Villanueva: a lot of our colleagues here in the Senate were talking,

5010
04:34:10,600 --> 04:34:13,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: saan ba talaga itong mga zero-balance billing?

5011
04:34:13,240 --> 04:34:16,360
Senator Joel Villanueva: And every time I go around, may lalapit sa akin,

5012
04:34:16,660 --> 04:34:20,640
Senator Joel Villanueva: walang makita saan ba itong nakalagay.

5013
04:34:20,640 --> 04:34:22,860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tapos, meron naman.

5014
04:34:23,140 --> 04:34:27,980
Senator Joel Villanueva: But, you know, in fairness, I encountered someone here in Metro Manila,

5015
04:34:28,720 --> 04:34:31,780
Senator Joel Villanueva: Metro Manila Hospital, na zero-balance po siya.

5016
04:34:31,920 --> 04:34:36,180
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's just that parang the entire time na I was going around,

5017
04:34:36,360 --> 04:34:39,040
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang narinig ko po ay dito lang sa Metro Manila.

5018
04:34:39,580 --> 04:34:43,860
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, itong 60,000 beds, is it scattered around?

5019
04:34:44,240 --> 04:34:45,020
Senator Joel Villanueva: At ilan po ito?

5020
04:34:45,220 --> 04:34:48,760
Senator Joel Villanueva: And perhaps the most important part of the question is,

5021
04:34:48,760 --> 04:34:50,620
Senator Joel Villanueva: ilan na po ba yung nag-benefit?

5022
04:34:50,640 --> 04:34:57,660
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi, kung ilan lamang po, kasi ilan bang pasyente sa Pilipinas?

5023
04:34:58,140 --> 04:35:04,580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tapos, kasabihin natin na ilang porsyento ng pasyente yung nakaka-avail lang

5024
04:35:04,580 --> 04:35:06,040
Senator Joel Villanueva: o makaka-avail lang nito.

5025
04:35:06,840 --> 04:35:12,520
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi parang ang hirap naman din po na mapakinggan ito

5026
04:35:12,520 --> 04:35:16,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: every time nire-report natin na we are improving.

5027
04:35:16,960 --> 04:35:17,580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, ma'am.

5028
04:35:17,980 --> 04:35:20,560
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, maybe I'll start po with the breakdown.

5029
04:35:20,640 --> 04:35:22,240
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: of the no-balance billing beds.

5030
04:35:22,380 --> 04:35:24,820
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then, si Sec po can talk about the beneficiaries.

5031
04:35:25,300 --> 04:35:29,240
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, sir, by law po, all of the public hospitals,

5032
04:35:29,360 --> 04:35:34,560
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: except the GOCC hospitals, 90% of their beds are supposed to be for NBB.

5033
04:35:35,080 --> 04:35:39,720
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then, 10% of private hospital beds are supposed to be NBB.

5034
04:35:40,220 --> 04:35:44,640
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, parang with that breakdown po, at least for the government beds,

5035
04:35:46,640 --> 04:35:52,000
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: a total of 59,790

5036
04:35:52,000 --> 04:35:55,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: beds are supposed to be NBB beds in the government.

5037
04:35:56,200 --> 04:36:02,520
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then, for private, that's supposed to be 6,265 beds.

5038
04:36:02,900 --> 04:36:07,400
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, yung total po dapat, meron tayong in-existence na no-balance billing beds

5039
04:36:07,400 --> 04:36:10,680
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: na 66,055 in the country.

5040
04:36:11,280 --> 04:36:17,080
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, I guess, nag-umpisa po siya na nagtaas yung PhilHealth ng case rates

5041
04:36:17,080 --> 04:36:18,960
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to hopefully cover the whole bill.

5042
04:36:18,960 --> 04:36:19,960
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then, supplemented by...

5043
04:36:20,640 --> 04:36:24,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay. Yung 6,000, yun lang yung sa private?

5044
04:36:25,460 --> 04:36:27,140
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yan po yung mandated nila.

5045
04:36:27,740 --> 04:36:28,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because that's mandated.

5046
04:36:29,000 --> 04:36:33,900
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yes, shared accommodation.

5047
04:36:34,160 --> 04:36:37,760
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And siguro, sir, we also would like to be very honest din naman na

5048
04:36:37,760 --> 04:36:41,480
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to say na in theory, they are mandated to do it.

5049
04:36:41,800 --> 04:36:46,240
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: But because for many years, hindi naman din, I guess, commensurate pa yung bayad.

5050
04:36:46,300 --> 04:36:47,360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, mahirap i-enforce.

5051
04:36:47,360 --> 04:36:50,440
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: But now, a lot of the private hospitals,

5052
04:36:50,640 --> 04:36:52,580
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: are actually already doing it.

5053
04:36:52,660 --> 04:36:56,600
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And we're really serious in partnering with them to make it happen.

5054
04:36:56,880 --> 04:36:58,000
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's good news, no?

5055
04:36:58,020 --> 04:36:59,920
Senator Joel Villanueva: There are 60,000 beds available.

5056
04:37:00,480 --> 04:37:07,440
Senator Joel Villanueva: And these are patients na hindi po nangangailangan ng surgery.

5057
04:37:08,420 --> 04:37:11,200
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi parang, yun yung gusto kong maintindihan.

5058
04:37:11,280 --> 04:37:14,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ano yung pinaka-basic, ano lang po niya, no?

5059
04:37:14,840 --> 04:37:16,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Again, 60,000 is...

5060
04:37:18,160 --> 04:37:19,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: I mean, compared to our denominator, medyo...

5061
04:37:20,640 --> 04:37:21,700
Senator Joel Villanueva: Malayo yan.

5062
04:37:21,860 --> 04:37:25,560
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I'm sure we wanted to increase it by...

5063
04:37:25,560 --> 04:37:27,380
Senator Joel Villanueva: I mean, increase the target by next year.

5064
04:37:27,660 --> 04:37:29,180
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sir, sige po, sekretary.

5065
04:37:30,020 --> 04:37:31,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, to give context po,

5066
04:37:31,940 --> 04:37:35,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang total bed available po sa Pilipinas ay mga 120,000.

5067
04:37:36,760 --> 04:37:41,640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po ay mix na ng DOH, LGU, at saka po ng mga private beds.

5068
04:37:42,180 --> 04:37:46,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang DOH beds po, nakasama yung regional dito sa Manila,

5069
04:37:46,880 --> 04:37:49,080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at saka yung four GOCC hospitals,

5070
04:37:49,520 --> 04:37:50,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: are about 3,000.

5071
04:37:50,640 --> 04:37:51,660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 32,400.

5072
04:37:52,680 --> 04:37:55,920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At ang LGU po ay mga 21,600.

5073
04:37:56,360 --> 04:37:58,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ang sumatotal po,

5074
04:37:59,060 --> 04:38:02,760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kalahati ng bed capacity ng buong Pilipinas,

5075
04:38:02,860 --> 04:38:04,640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang aming tinatarget na maging NBB.

5076
04:38:05,200 --> 04:38:05,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ano po yun?

5077
04:38:05,980 --> 04:38:08,620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi naman po nangangahulugan na lahat po yan,

5078
04:38:08,720 --> 04:38:12,280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang strategiya ay magdagdag ng bayad.

5079
04:38:12,420 --> 04:38:13,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi inflationary po eh.

5080
04:38:13,940 --> 04:38:16,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kahit kami nagdadagdag, nagtataas din.

5081
04:38:16,040 --> 04:38:19,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun po ay nature na talaga ng health economy.

5082
04:38:20,640 --> 04:38:22,760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ano po dito, dapat yung strategic purchasing.

5083
04:38:23,100 --> 04:38:24,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ano po yung strategic purchasing?

5084
04:38:25,320 --> 04:38:28,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dahil kami po yung pinakal-largest purchaser,

5085
04:38:28,800 --> 04:38:32,940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: pwede po kaming makipag-negotiate sa mga hospital.

5086
04:38:33,700 --> 04:38:35,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya nga po ngayon, nag-i-engage na po yung hospital,

5087
04:38:36,160 --> 04:38:39,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay dahil napababa na po natin yung turnaround time ng payment.

5088
04:38:40,040 --> 04:38:43,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dati po, ayaw pumayag dahil, eh, anim na buwan bago kayo magbayad eh.

5089
04:38:44,280 --> 04:38:46,620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya maglalagay kami ng cost of money, di ho ba?

5090
04:38:46,620 --> 04:38:50,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kahit nailagay ko yan sa banko, makumikita na ako ng interest.

5091
04:38:50,340 --> 04:38:52,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaysa nakabin-bin.

5092
04:38:52,280 --> 04:38:54,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ngayon po na naka-15 days na kami,

5093
04:38:55,040 --> 04:38:56,160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nag-i-enter na sila.

5094
04:38:56,260 --> 04:38:58,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Sige, pahayag na kami ng NOBI-NBB ngayon.

5095
04:38:58,980 --> 04:39:00,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Bukod dun sa tinaas natin yung coverage.

5096
04:39:01,300 --> 04:39:03,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero isa pa po dun sa aming pinag-iisipan,

5097
04:39:03,560 --> 04:39:04,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay yung upfront payment.

5098
04:39:04,980 --> 04:39:06,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun nga po yung global budget.

5099
04:39:06,800 --> 04:39:10,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi hawak na po nung ating mga hospital, yung pera.

5100
04:39:10,780 --> 04:39:13,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, which means, pwede po nilang gamitin for purchase

5101
04:39:13,440 --> 04:39:15,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga equipment, ng mga supplies,

5102
04:39:15,740 --> 04:39:18,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para ma-hedge din po nila yung pagtaas ng presyo.

5103
04:39:18,640 --> 04:39:19,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At bultuhan,

5104
04:39:19,840 --> 04:39:21,940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mas maibababa, maninegosyate po nilang

5105
04:39:21,940 --> 04:39:24,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ibaba yung presyo ng kanilang mga consumables.

5106
04:39:24,940 --> 04:39:26,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po yung mga statihiya.

5107
04:39:26,640 --> 04:39:29,100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya po, ang aming tinitingnan,

5108
04:39:29,660 --> 04:39:32,620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay yung pong parang kagaya po ng One Hospital Command

5109
04:39:32,620 --> 04:39:33,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nung kasagsagan ng COVID.

5110
04:39:34,300 --> 04:39:35,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Titingnan po namin,

5111
04:39:35,880 --> 04:39:39,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ano po yung sobra na nakapila sa mga government hospital.

5112
04:39:40,260 --> 04:39:41,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At kakausapin namin yung private,

5113
04:39:41,940 --> 04:39:43,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: o yung 10% bed nyo,

5114
04:39:43,600 --> 04:39:45,600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ipasok natin para ma-offload natin.

5115
04:39:46,020 --> 04:39:48,300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At bukod dun sa first-liner ng PhilHealth,

5116
04:39:48,900 --> 04:39:49,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: papasok namin ngayon.

5117
04:39:49,740 --> 04:39:50,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung MyPip.

5118
04:39:50,640 --> 04:39:53,000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po, MyPip, dapat dun sa mga outliers eh.

5119
04:39:53,560 --> 04:39:55,000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi hindi naman po mako-cover

5120
04:39:55,000 --> 04:39:56,520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng lahat ng case rates.

5121
04:39:56,680 --> 04:39:58,920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pag Z-Bend, dapat wala nang dagdag yan.

5122
04:39:59,040 --> 04:40:00,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi substantial na yung Z-Bend,

5123
04:40:00,780 --> 04:40:02,180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 1 million to 4 million eh.

5124
04:40:02,560 --> 04:40:03,500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero yung mga outliers,

5125
04:40:04,000 --> 04:40:05,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat po, appendectomy simple,

5126
04:40:06,140 --> 04:40:08,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat mga 30,000 in ICU.

5127
04:40:08,740 --> 04:40:09,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi nagperitonitis,

5128
04:40:10,120 --> 04:40:11,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nagkaroon ng komplikasyon.

5129
04:40:11,540 --> 04:40:13,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dun po papasok dapat yung MyPip.

5130
04:40:13,440 --> 04:40:14,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, dapat po rules-based,

5131
04:40:15,120 --> 04:40:16,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: supplemental ang MyPips

5132
04:40:16,360 --> 04:40:17,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dun sa coverage po ng PhilHealth

5133
04:40:17,780 --> 04:40:19,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para ma-achieve po natin yung NBB.

5134
04:40:19,740 --> 04:40:21,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Negotiated po yung rates

5135
04:40:21,040 --> 04:40:22,100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dun po sa mga hospital.

5136
04:40:23,000 --> 04:40:24,820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, Secretary.

5137
04:40:25,260 --> 04:40:28,800
Senator Joel Villanueva: We appreciate the answer, Mr. Chairman.

5138
04:40:29,260 --> 04:40:31,160
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'll go to my next topic

5139
04:40:31,160 --> 04:40:32,300
Senator Joel Villanueva: unless, Mr. Chairman,

5140
04:40:32,400 --> 04:40:33,780
Senator Joel Villanueva: you wanted to say something

5141
04:40:33,780 --> 04:40:34,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: about the zero billing.

5142
04:40:35,180 --> 04:40:36,700
Senator Joel Villanueva: As I'm going to the next topic,

5143
04:40:37,180 --> 04:40:39,600
Senator Joel Villanueva: or Senator Pia would like to...

5144
04:40:39,600 --> 04:40:41,400
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm leaving the zero billing

5145
04:40:41,400 --> 04:40:43,700
Senator Joel Villanueva: if you want to...

5146
04:40:43,700 --> 04:40:46,680
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'll go to another topic.

5147
04:40:47,900 --> 04:40:48,800
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sure...

5148
04:40:48,800 --> 04:40:49,360
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sure...

5149
04:40:49,360 --> 04:40:52,420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because I was looking at you last time

5150
04:40:52,420 --> 04:40:54,700
Senator Joel Villanueva: we were together and talking about this.

5151
04:40:55,160 --> 04:40:55,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, okay.

5152
04:40:55,680 --> 04:40:56,220
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sure you don't...

5153
04:40:56,220 --> 04:40:58,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Very quickly, just to add to the zero billing issue.

5154
04:40:59,940 --> 04:41:03,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, for the 2026 budget,

5155
04:41:03,700 --> 04:41:06,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when I chaired the budget of PhilHealth,

5156
04:41:07,000 --> 04:41:08,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we included 1 billion.

5157
04:41:08,380 --> 04:41:08,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam niyo yun?

5158
04:41:09,140 --> 04:41:11,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For pilot testing in the LGUs.

5159
04:41:12,540 --> 04:41:14,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I just learned that

5160
04:41:14,720 --> 04:41:18,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that amount is going to be made...

5161
04:41:18,480 --> 04:41:20,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What happened as of August 25?

5162
04:41:21,260 --> 04:41:26,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Na-download na yung funds on August 25 lang.

5163
04:41:26,660 --> 04:41:27,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, like two weeks ago.

5164
04:41:28,460 --> 04:41:30,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, yung opportunity natin

5165
04:41:30,320 --> 04:41:31,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to do the pilot testing

5166
04:41:31,540 --> 04:41:33,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so that we could give a bigger amount this year.

5167
04:41:34,280 --> 04:41:35,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's kind of lost, no?

5168
04:41:35,220 --> 04:41:36,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I will just assume that

5169
04:41:36,760 --> 04:41:39,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, you have a lot of good faith.

5170
04:41:39,300 --> 04:41:41,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, we have a lot of good faith in you.

5171
04:41:41,840 --> 04:41:44,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'll assume that from all the consultations

5172
04:41:44,040 --> 04:41:45,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because the reason I was given

5173
04:41:45,660 --> 04:41:46,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so I don't have to ask you now

5174
04:41:46,820 --> 04:41:48,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is that it took time.

5175
04:41:48,480 --> 04:41:50,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't need to come up with the rules, etc.

5176
04:41:50,600 --> 04:41:51,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'm assuming that

5177
04:41:51,780 --> 04:41:53,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: during all those consultations,

5178
04:41:53,360 --> 04:41:56,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you learned a lot on how you want to implement this.

5179
04:41:57,300 --> 04:41:58,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And so, it can be used

5180
04:41:58,520 --> 04:42:00,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for this year's budget,

5181
04:42:01,060 --> 04:42:02,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: additional budget for ZBB

5182
04:42:02,380 --> 04:42:04,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because we were told

5183
04:42:04,000 --> 04:42:07,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that there are now

5184
04:42:07,120 --> 04:42:08,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how many LGUs?

5185
04:42:08,900 --> 04:42:09,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300?

5186
04:42:09,400 --> 04:42:10,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300 LGUs?

5187
04:42:10,600 --> 04:42:11,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300 LGUs, tama ba?

5188
04:42:12,440 --> 04:42:13,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300 new LGUs

5189
04:42:13,900 --> 04:42:17,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that will now be able to offer ZBB.

5190
04:42:18,480 --> 04:42:19,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama.

5191
04:42:19,740 --> 04:42:20,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300.

5192
04:42:20,600 --> 04:42:22,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For total na 300 new LGUs.

5193
04:42:25,160 --> 04:42:27,950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did we get that?

5194
04:42:28,270 --> 04:42:29,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did we get that?

5195
04:42:29,570 --> 04:42:30,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm joking.

5196
04:42:30,230 --> 04:42:32,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was part of the presentation

5197
04:42:32,830 --> 04:42:35,850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of one of the economic managers.

5198
04:42:37,070 --> 04:42:39,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I said I would just follow up with you

5199
04:42:39,230 --> 04:42:42,670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because it's good news for our kababayans.

5200
04:42:44,250 --> 04:42:46,810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But, yeah, maybe you can just add some details.

5201
04:43:09,540 --> 04:43:10,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama ba?

5202
04:43:10,450 --> 04:43:11,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Are you aware of this?

5203
04:43:11,290 --> 04:43:12,210
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Or sinabi lang nila yun?

5204
04:43:15,840 --> 04:43:18,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ma'am, yung pong for 2027,

5205
04:43:18,380 --> 04:43:21,160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: there's an additional 19 billion.

5206
04:43:21,360 --> 04:43:21,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama.

5207
04:43:22,040 --> 04:43:22,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 19 billion.

5208
04:43:22,480 --> 04:43:23,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 19 billion in the

5209
04:43:23,540 --> 04:43:25,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: proposal NEP-1

5210
04:43:25,840 --> 04:43:27,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: for the PhilHealth

5211
04:43:28,220 --> 04:43:29,220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to cover

5212
04:43:29,220 --> 04:43:31,760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mostly LGU hospitals.

5213
04:43:31,980 --> 04:43:34,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Total of 368 LGU hospitals.

5214
04:43:34,360 --> 04:43:36,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, basically, all the LGU hospitals.

5215
04:43:36,120 --> 04:43:36,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: That's what it is.

5216
04:43:36,960 --> 04:43:37,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po.

5217
04:43:37,660 --> 04:43:38,920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Right now po, our study,

5218
04:43:39,200 --> 04:43:40,300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: our beta showed

5219
04:43:40,300 --> 04:43:43,020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: almost 85% na po yung support value

5220
04:43:43,020 --> 04:43:46,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng PhilHealth dito sa LGU hospitals.

5221
04:43:46,640 --> 04:43:47,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sorry, what's that?

5222
04:43:47,700 --> 04:43:50,060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Almost 80 to 85% na po

5223
04:43:50,060 --> 04:43:51,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng total bill

5224
04:43:51,260 --> 04:43:52,280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga LGU hospitals.

5225
04:43:52,280 --> 04:43:52,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga LGU hospitals

5226
04:43:52,780 --> 04:43:54,580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: are covered by PhilHealth.

5227
04:43:54,660 --> 04:43:55,360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, that's equivalent

5228
04:43:55,360 --> 04:43:56,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to the support value

5229
04:43:56,480 --> 04:43:59,000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: for each SOA.

5230
04:43:59,480 --> 04:44:03,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yung 15, 10, 15%,

5231
04:44:03,340 --> 04:44:03,960
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: supposedly,

5232
04:44:04,220 --> 04:44:05,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: is ito po yung magko-cover.

5233
04:44:06,420 --> 04:44:07,640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: But, I leave it to

5234
04:44:07,640 --> 04:44:09,520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: PCO Bev

5235
04:44:09,520 --> 04:44:10,700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to determine how

5236
04:44:10,700 --> 04:44:12,760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the structure would be

5237
04:44:12,760 --> 04:44:14,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na hindi nga po inflationary.

5238
04:44:14,400 --> 04:44:16,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, dyan po pumapasok nga yung concept

5239
04:44:16,140 --> 04:44:17,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng global payment

5240
04:44:17,820 --> 04:44:19,680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para outright na

5241
04:44:19,680 --> 04:44:20,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: meron na tayong agreement

5242
04:44:20,860 --> 04:44:22,040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nung purchase ng

5243
04:44:22,040 --> 04:44:23,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: volume of service

5244
04:44:23,320 --> 04:44:25,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: based on certain criteria

5245
04:44:25,200 --> 04:44:26,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: like case mix,

5246
04:44:26,500 --> 04:44:27,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: average length of stay,

5247
04:44:28,020 --> 04:44:29,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: meron na pong ginagawang

5248
04:44:29,200 --> 04:44:30,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mga pag-aaral

5249
04:44:30,140 --> 04:44:31,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: on how to compel naman

5250
04:44:31,900 --> 04:44:33,320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the LGUs to be efficient.

5251
04:44:34,020 --> 04:44:34,900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi otherwise po,

5252
04:44:35,500 --> 04:44:38,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung magiging

5253
04:44:38,120 --> 04:44:39,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: inflationary rin yung impact,

5254
04:44:40,020 --> 04:44:41,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: hindi rin po magbubunga

5255
04:44:41,140 --> 04:44:42,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng talagang impact

5256
04:44:42,380 --> 04:44:43,020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng ZBB.

5257
04:44:45,420 --> 04:44:48,630
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero, ikaw na yung mag-aral na doon.

5258
04:44:48,690 --> 04:44:49,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes.

5259
04:44:49,370 --> 04:44:51,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The question to the

5260
04:44:51,050 --> 04:44:52,470
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: general public is,

5261
04:44:52,970 --> 04:44:53,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when do we have to

5262
04:44:53,290 --> 04:44:53,970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when they go now

5263
04:44:53,970 --> 04:44:54,790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to the

5264
04:44:54,790 --> 04:44:56,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the LGU hospital,

5265
04:44:57,250 --> 04:44:58,950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: may ZBB ba sila doon?

5266
04:44:59,050 --> 04:44:59,970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi yung impact

5267
04:44:59,970 --> 04:45:00,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ng ZBB,

5268
04:45:00,230 --> 04:45:01,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang ibig sabihin ng ZBB

5269

04:51:44,830 --> 04:51:45,990
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: pharmacies in the country.

5613

5618
04:51:52,030 --> 04:51:52,710
Senator Joel Villanueva: 20,000?

5619
04:51:52,890 --> 04:51:53,230
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yes.

5620
04:51:53,710 --> 04:51:54,290
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Thereabouts.

5621
04:51:54,510 --> 04:51:55,810
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, clearly,

5622
04:51:55,970 --> 04:51:56,870
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: marami pa po kaming

5623
04:51:56,870 --> 04:51:57,990

04:52:07,670 --> 04:52:08,490
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: maraming feedback

5632
04:52:08,490 --> 04:52:09,390

5636
04:52:13,050 --> 04:52:14,530

5641
04:52:18,470 --> 04:52:19,490
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then, the gamot

5642
04:52:19,490 --> 04:52:21,270
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: has also an expansion list

5643

5654
04:52:35,350 --> 04:52:36,730

5657
04:52:38,150 --> 04:52:39,190

5658
04:52:39,450 --> 04:52:40,850
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And I guess we don't expect

5659
04:52:40,850 --> 04:52:42,650
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: a lot of the yakap providers

5660
04:52:42,650 --> 04:52:43,870
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to really stock the meds

5661
04:52:43,870 --> 04:52:45,290
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: in their clinics as well.

5662
04:52:47,150 --> 04:52:48,150
Senator Joel Villanueva: Right now,

5663
04:52:48,630 --> 04:52:49,570
Senator Joel Villanueva: the target

5664
04:52:49,570 --> 04:52:51,290
Senator Joel Villanueva: of increasing

5665
04:52:51,290 --> 04:52:52,670
Senator Joel Villanueva: the number of providers

5666
04:52:52,670 --> 04:52:53,850
Senator Joel Villanueva: kasi I wonder

5667
04:52:53,850 --> 04:52:55,050
Senator Joel Villanueva: are these providers

5668
04:52:55,050 --> 04:52:56,850
Senator Joel Villanueva: just in

04:52:56,850 --> 04:52:57,310

Senator Joel Villanueva: in

5672
04:52:58,410 --> 04:52:58,530
Senator Joel Villanueva: in

5673
04:52:58,530 --> 04:52:58,870
Senator Joel Villanueva: in

5674
04:52:58,870 --> 04:52:59,910
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't know

5675
04:52:59,910 --> 04:53:01,450
Senator Joel Villanueva: urban areas

5676
04:53:01,450 --> 04:53:02,850
Senator Joel Villanueva: kasi yung

5677
04:53:02,850 --> 04:53:03,610
Senator Joel Villanueva: yun yung

5678
04:53:03,610 --> 04:53:04,950
Senator Joel Villanueva: major

5679
04:53:04,950 --> 04:53:05,910
Senator Joel Villanueva: complaints

5680
04:53:05,910 --> 04:53:07,370
Senator Joel Villanueva: na nakukuha namin

5681
04:53:07,370 --> 04:53:07,830
Senator Joel Villanueva: na

5682
04:53:07,830 --> 04:53:09,870
Senator Joel Villanueva: in their areas

5683
04:53:09,870 --> 04:53:10,690
Senator Joel Villanueva: for example

5684
04:53:10,690 --> 04:53:12,970
Senator Joel Villanueva: 6-8 barangays

5685
04:53:12,970 --> 04:53:14,130
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa paligid nila

5686
04:53:14,130 --> 04:53:14,710
Senator Joel Villanueva: wala ho

5687
04:53:14,710 --> 04:53:15,690
Senator Joel Villanueva: ni isang provider

5688
04:53:15,690 --> 04:53:16,390
Senator Joel Villanueva: so talagang

5689
04:53:16,390 --> 04:53:17,570
Senator Joel Villanueva: they really have to go to

5690
04:53:17,570 --> 04:53:18,710
Senator Joel Villanueva: poblasyon

5691
04:53:18,710 --> 04:53:20,050
Senator Joel Villanueva: or somewhere else

5692
04:53:20,050 --> 04:53:20,590
Senator Joel Villanueva: para lang

5693
04:53:20,590 --> 04:53:21,770
Senator Joel Villanueva: maka-access

5694
04:53:21,770 --> 04:53:22,690
Senator Joel Villanueva: so yun lang po

5695
04:53:22,690 --> 04:53:23,190
Senator Joel Villanueva: siguro

5696
04:53:23,190 --> 04:53:24,950
Senator Joel Villanueva: just the target

5697
04:53:24,950 --> 04:53:26,410
Senator Joel Villanueva: to increase

5698
04:53:26,410 --> 04:53:27,570
Senator Joel Villanueva: the number of providers

5699
04:53:27,570 --> 04:53:28,630
Senator Joel Villanueva: and at the same time

5700
04:53:28,630 --> 04:53:28,850
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung

5701
04:53:28,870 --> 04:53:31,150
Senator Joel Villanueva: kasi ang mas nakakak

5702
04:53:31,150 --> 04:53:32,090

5703
04:53:32,090 --> 04:53:32,590

04:53:32,590 --> 04:53:33,950
Senator Joel Villanueva: talagang wala

5705
04:53:33,950 --> 04:53:35,090
Senator Joel Villanueva: malayo sa ospital

5706
04:53:35,090 --> 04:53:35,730
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung

5707
04:53:35,730 --> 04:53:36,830
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung talagang

04:53:36,830 --> 04:53:37,730
Senator Joel Villanueva: poorest of the poor

5709
04:53:37,730 --> 04:53:38,050
Senator Joel Villanueva: so

5710
04:53:38,050 --> 04:53:39,370
Senator Joel Villanueva: I hope

5711
04:53:39,370 --> 04:53:41,410

6240
05:04:23,000 --> 05:04:23,440
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair,

6241
05:04:23,760 --> 05:04:25,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yes po. Actually, in fact,

6242
05:04:25,660 --> 05:04:27,680
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2017 pa lang, may benefit

6243
05:04:27,680 --> 05:04:29,220

6244
05:04:29,240 --> 05:04:31,540
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Doon. Unfortunately,

6245
05:04:32,160 --> 05:04:33,460
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: in these many years,

6246
05:04:33,820 --> 05:04:34,820
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we only had

6247
05:04:34,820 --> 05:04:37,360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: paid 482 claims on

6248
05:04:37,360 --> 05:04:39,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: this. And the reason

6249
05:04:39,160 --> 05:04:41,100
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: for that being one, we only have

6250
05:04:41,100 --> 05:04:42,560
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: five contracted facilities.

6251
05:04:43,040 --> 05:04:45,300
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we know very stringent yung rules

6252
05:04:45,300 --> 05:04:46,860
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: namin. So, in fact, I think

6253
05:04:46,860 --> 05:04:49,320
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: later this week, wala labas na po

6254
05:04:49,320 --> 05:04:51,660
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung policy namin to decouple

6255
05:04:51,660 --> 05:04:53,160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the accreditation

6256
05:04:53,160 --> 05:04:55,240
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: standards para mas marami pong makaparticipate.

6257
05:04:56,540 --> 05:04:57,540
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Second po

6258
05:04:57,540 --> 05:04:58,920
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: is to allow

6259
05:04:59,240 --> 05:05:00,780
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the STOTPT

6260
05:05:00,780 --> 05:05:02,920
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to do practice-based accreditation.

6261
05:05:03,140 --> 05:05:04,620
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Currently, our accreditation is

6262
05:05:04,620 --> 05:05:06,620
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: focused on facility-based.

6263
05:05:07,100 --> 05:05:09,040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we know konti lang sila, no?

6264
05:05:09,040 --> 05:05:10,680
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And many of them have freestanding

6265
05:05:10,680 --> 05:05:13,100
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: clinics na hindi sila na-engage.

6266
05:05:13,400 --> 05:05:15,080
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we've also started discussing

6267
05:05:15,080 --> 05:05:17,020
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: with them already that should

6268
05:05:17,020 --> 05:05:18,840
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: all be addressed

6269
05:05:18,840 --> 05:05:21,000
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: before the year ends so we can engage

6270
05:05:21,000 --> 05:05:23,080
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: more of them. Last po is

6271
05:05:23,080 --> 05:05:25,120
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: klaro din po dun sa

6272
05:05:25,120 --> 05:05:26,960
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mga developmental pediatricians

6273
05:05:26,960 --> 05:05:29,040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: natin na they can't go to

6274
05:05:29,040 --> 05:05:30,840
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: every single school and community

6275
05:05:30,840 --> 05:05:33,020
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to do screening. So, in

6276
05:05:33,020 --> 05:05:35,320
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fact, the DevPed Society has already

6277
05:05:35,320 --> 05:05:36,500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: piloted

6278
05:05:36,500 --> 05:05:38,620
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: a training module for

6279
05:05:38,620 --> 05:05:40,600

05:05:40,600 --> 05:05:42,900
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: daycare center workers.

6281
05:05:43,400 --> 05:05:45,020
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, sila po yung very first level

6282
05:05:45,020 --> 05:05:47,060
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: of screening. May training na rin po

6287
05:05:54,640 --> 05:05:56,980
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: piloted this already in QC.

6288
05:05:57,520 --> 05:05:58,880
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, our goal is to work with them

6289
05:05:58,880 --> 05:06:01,060
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to scale this up kasi wala rin

6290

6291

6293
05:06:06,820 --> 05:06:08,900
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't actually know how

6294
05:06:08,900 --> 05:06:10,700
Senator Joel Villanueva: to start or how to begin

6295
05:06:10,700 --> 05:06:12,480
Senator Joel Villanueva: in this particular topic.

6296
05:06:13,300 --> 05:06:14,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Having experienced

05:06:14,840 --> 05:06:17,060

05:06:17,060 --> 05:06:19,400
Senator Joel Villanueva: and sabi ko nga ho,

05:06:32,960 --> 05:06:35,280
Senator Joel Villanueva: how else we can help.

6307
05:06:35,880 --> 05:06:36,920
Senator Joel Villanueva: Here in the Senate,

6308
05:06:37,100 --> 05:06:39,140

Senator Joel Villanueva: in the House.

Senator Joel Villanueva: One of our amendments,

6319
05:06:58,880 --> 05:07:00,740
Senator Joel Villanueva: actually, to the bill, is the

6320
05:07:00,740 --> 05:07:02,860
Senator Joel Villanueva: expansion of field health benefits for

6321
05:07:02,860 --> 05:07:04,920
Senator Joel Villanueva: individuals with the

6322
05:07:04,920 --> 05:07:05,680
Senator Joel Villanueva: ASD.

6323
05:07:07,800 --> 05:07:08,700
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sana po,

6324
05:07:08,900 --> 05:07:12,980
Senator Joel Villanueva: even without the law, right now

6325
05:07:12,980 --> 05:07:14,460
Senator Joel Villanueva: we can do something about this. Kasi

Senator Joel Villanueva: mga apektado dito.

6329
05:07:20,980 --> 05:07:22,640
Senator Joel Villanueva: And anywhere you go in the country,

6330
05:07:23,740 --> 05:07:24,980
Senator Joel Villanueva: especially if there are

6331
05:07:24,980 --> 05:07:26,940
Senator Joel Villanueva: parents who found out na

6332
05:07:26,940 --> 05:07:28,720
Senator Joel Villanueva: the same situation,

6333
05:07:28,880 --> 05:07:31,060
Senator Joel Villanueva: talagang lalapit

6334
05:07:31,060 --> 05:07:32,500
Senator Joel Villanueva: magsasabi.

6335
05:07:32,820 --> 05:07:34,920
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung number of therapy sessions

6336
05:07:34,920 --> 05:07:36,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: na covered ng field health

6337
05:07:36,880 --> 05:07:38,160
Senator Joel Villanueva: is only 90.

6338
05:07:38,980 --> 05:07:40,460
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's unfortunate.

6339
05:07:40,780 --> 05:07:41,900
Senator Joel Villanueva: 90 sessions.

6340
05:07:42,760 --> 05:07:45,040
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't know if you can

6341
05:07:45,040 --> 05:07:46,660
Senator Joel Villanueva: ask a parent

6342
05:07:46,660 --> 05:07:48,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: if that is enough.

6343
05:07:48,820 --> 05:07:49,820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Medyo masakit po.

6344
05:07:51,500 --> 05:07:53,020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kahit exempt na po

6345
05:07:53,020 --> 05:07:54,140
Senator Joel Villanueva: ako dito, okay lang.

6346
05:07:54,700 --> 05:07:55,960
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sana pataasin po.

6347
05:07:55,960 --> 05:07:58,040
Senator Joel Villanueva: The beneficiaries also,

6348
05:07:58,880 --> 05:08:01,360
Senator Joel Villanueva: received financial assistance

6349
05:08:01,360 --> 05:08:03,260
Senator Joel Villanueva: through the Department of Social Welfare

6350
05:08:03,260 --> 05:08:04,480
Senator Joel Villanueva: and Development sa

6351
05:08:04,480 --> 05:08:07,020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Project Aruga. And we're

6352
05:08:07,020 --> 05:08:08,940
Senator Joel Villanueva: pushing also DSWD to

6353
05:08:08,940 --> 05:08:10,820
Senator Joel Villanueva: help yung families,

6354
05:08:11,000 --> 05:08:13,100
Senator Joel Villanueva: especially those

6355
05:08:13,100 --> 05:08:15,320
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the

6356
05:08:15,320 --> 05:08:16,140
Senator Joel Villanueva: ASD.

6357
05:08:16,460 --> 05:08:19,160
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then aside from previous 90

6358
05:08:19,160 --> 05:08:20,520
Senator Joel Villanueva: therapy sessions,

6359
05:08:21,200 --> 05:08:22,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang original package po

6360
05:08:22,880 --> 05:08:23,940
Senator Joel Villanueva: na covered

6361
05:08:23,940 --> 05:08:26,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa assessment cost is

6362
05:08:26,880 --> 05:08:28,860
Senator Joel Villanueva: ranging only from 3,000 to

6363
05:08:28,880 --> 05:08:30,040
Senator Joel Villanueva: 5,000 pesos.

6364
05:08:32,520 --> 05:08:33,200
Senator Joel Villanueva: Again,

6365
05:08:33,460 --> 05:08:35,360
Senator Joel Villanueva: this is also depending on the number

6366
05:08:35,360 --> 05:08:37,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: and type of healthcare

6367
05:08:37,240 --> 05:08:38,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: professionals involved.

6368
05:08:40,060 --> 05:08:41,300
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yun nga pong

6369
05:08:41,300 --> 05:08:43,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: healthcare professionals hindi pa

6370
05:08:43,540 --> 05:08:45,440
Senator Joel Villanueva: available. Hindi ka na makakita.

6371
05:08:45,960 --> 05:08:47,560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tapos ganito pa ho. So parang

6372
05:08:47,560 --> 05:08:51,420
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't want to use the word

6373
05:08:51,420 --> 05:08:52,920
Senator Joel Villanueva: kasumpa-sumpa, pero

6374
05:08:52,920 --> 05:08:55,520
Senator Joel Villanueva: talagang mahirap po yung pinagdadaanan

6375
05:08:55,520 --> 05:08:57,460
Senator Joel Villanueva: nila. So I hope we do

6376
05:08:57,460 --> 05:08:58,500
Senator Joel Villanueva: something about this.

6377
05:08:58,880 --> 05:09:01,280
Senator Joel Villanueva: I can coordinate with

6378
05:09:01,280 --> 05:09:03,160
Senator Joel Villanueva: your office with regard

6379
05:09:03,160 --> 05:09:05,060
Senator Joel Villanueva: to this. And perhaps

6380
05:09:05,060 --> 05:09:06,940
Senator Joel Villanueva: again, even before the passage

6381
05:09:06,940 --> 05:09:08,620
Senator Joel Villanueva: of this measure,

6382
05:09:09,360 --> 05:09:10,620
Senator Joel Villanueva: may magawa po tayo.

6383
05:09:11,060 --> 05:09:13,420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Can I hear from you, ma'am?

6384
05:09:13,480 --> 05:09:15,100
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yes, Mr. Chair. Actually,

6385
05:09:15,200 --> 05:09:17,040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: there's already a directive

6386
05:09:17,040 --> 05:09:19,000

05:09:24,160 --> 05:09:26,940

6391
05:09:27,240 --> 05:09:28,600
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So tuloy-tuloy po yung consultation.

6392
05:09:28,880 --> 05:09:30,300
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: With all of the professional

6393
05:09:30,300 --> 05:09:32,840

05:09:44,920 --> 05:09:46,640
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Kasi kung may package, tapos

05:09:46,640 --> 05:09:48,940
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: wala din po yung providers, mahirap

6455
05:11:34,680 --> 05:11:36,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: PCMC on developing

6456
05:11:36,860 --> 05:11:39,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: cadres of

6457
05:11:39,120 --> 05:11:41,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at least yung primary diagnosis

6458
05:11:41,240 --> 05:11:42,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: po, magawa na.

6459
05:11:43,080 --> 05:11:44,800
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para maumpisaan yung PT,

6460
05:11:44,940 --> 05:11:46,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: maumpisaan yung ano,

6461
05:11:46,880 --> 05:11:48,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yun lang pong speech therapies.

6462
05:11:49,160 --> 05:11:50,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Talagang kailangan specialized po yun eh.

6463
05:11:50,920 --> 05:11:52,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun yung kailangan naming tingnan.

6464
05:11:52,900 --> 05:11:54,480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero at least yung initial diagnosis,

6465
05:11:54,880 --> 05:11:55,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: magawa na yung mga

6466
05:11:55,780 --> 05:11:57,800
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: initial intervention,

6467
05:11:57,800 --> 05:11:59,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at makaroon din po

6468
05:11:59,840 --> 05:12:01,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng referral system pataas.

6469
05:12:02,460 --> 05:12:03,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po yung kaya

6470
05:12:03,420 --> 05:12:05,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: it's not going to be a facility-based, it's going to be

6471
05:12:05,880 --> 05:12:08,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: more a practice-based

6472
05:12:08,120 --> 05:12:09,800
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: accreditation.

6473
05:12:11,620 --> 05:12:12,460
Senator Joel Villanueva: And that's the problem

6474
05:12:12,460 --> 05:12:13,580
Senator Joel Villanueva: minsan, Secretary, kasi

6475
05:12:13,580 --> 05:12:15,020
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung studyante,

6476
05:12:15,960 --> 05:12:17,980

05:12:19,820 --> 05:12:22,020
Senator Joel Villanueva: kung ang track ko,

6479
05:12:22,880 --> 05:12:23,960
Senator Joel Villanueva: wala rin facilities

6480
05:12:23,960 --> 05:12:25,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: na mapupuntahan?

6481
05:12:25,840 --> 05:12:27,500
Senator Joel Villanueva: We need to motivate

6482
05:12:27,500 --> 05:12:29,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: these students

6483
05:12:29,840 --> 05:12:31,760
Senator Joel Villanueva: to take these courses

6484
05:12:31,760 --> 05:12:34,100
Senator Joel Villanueva: and all, kasi talagang

6485
05:12:34,100 --> 05:12:35,920
Senator Joel Villanueva: damang-dama na po

6486
05:12:35,920 --> 05:12:37,220
Senator Joel Villanueva: ngayon yung shortage, Secretary.

6487
05:12:38,760 --> 05:12:40,120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po, kaya nga po

6488
05:12:40,120 --> 05:12:41,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: once the PhilHealth Board

6489
05:12:41,840 --> 05:12:43,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: approves the expanded benefit

6490
05:12:43,880 --> 05:12:45,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: package, na substantial po

6491
05:12:45,880 --> 05:12:47,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ata yung planong increase yung professional

6492
05:12:47,980 --> 05:12:49,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: fees. I think that will be a market

6493
05:12:49,840 --> 05:12:51,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: signal na, bah, viable pala

6494
05:12:51,860 --> 05:12:53,020

6495
05:12:53,600 --> 05:12:55,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At pwede naman palang practice-based at hindi

6496
05:12:55,720 --> 05:12:57,420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kailang mag-setup ako ng clinic,

6497
05:12:57,500 --> 05:12:59,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: naman napakamahal. Baka po

6498
05:12:59,400 --> 05:13:01,980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mas marami na tayo maingan yung mag-PTOT po.

6499

05:13:05,020 --> 05:13:07,440
Senator Joel Villanueva: anything we can do here in the Senate

6502
05:13:07,440 --> 05:13:09,760
Senator Joel Villanueva: or kahit sa board

6503
05:13:09,760 --> 05:13:11,480
Senator Joel Villanueva: ninyo, kailangan nyo ng resource person,

6504
05:13:11,560 --> 05:13:12,640

6512
05:13:27,500 --> 05:13:28,800
Senator Joel Villanueva: But unfortunately,

6513
05:13:29,920 --> 05:13:31,480
Senator Joel Villanueva: palaki pa rin po ng palaki

6514
05:13:31,480 --> 05:13:33,240

Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang DOH po, meron pa rin

6518
05:13:39,940 --> 05:13:41,940
Senator Joel Villanueva: pong 9,069

6519
05:13:42,540 --> 05:13:43,780
Senator Joel Villanueva: unfilled positions.

6520
05:13:44,820 --> 05:13:45,940
Senator Joel Villanueva: 9,069

6521
05:13:46,680 --> 05:13:47,960
Senator Joel Villanueva: unfilled positions.

6522
05:13:48,120 --> 05:13:49,640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang equivalent po nito is

6523
05:13:49,640 --> 05:13:51,380
Senator Joel Villanueva: 9.1%

6524
05:13:51,380 --> 05:13:53,660
Senator Joel Villanueva: of its total

6525
05:13:53,660 --> 05:13:55,200
Senator Joel Villanueva: authorized positions.

6526
05:13:56,060 --> 05:13:57,480
Senator Joel Villanueva: Although, nag-decline na po,

6527
05:13:57,500 --> 05:13:59,000
Senator Joel Villanueva: ito, kasi last year,

6528
05:13:59,760 --> 05:14:01,160

05:14:01,160 --> 05:14:03,540

6531
05:14:05,220 --> 05:14:06,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: binabanggit to sa mga ayensya.

6532
05:14:07,580 --> 05:14:09,200
Senator Joel Villanueva: Gusto kong malaman, bakit

6533
05:14:09,200 --> 05:14:10,740
Senator Joel Villanueva: 9,000 pa rin ho? Because,

6534
05:14:11,260 --> 05:14:12,420
Senator Joel Villanueva: looking at the data,

6535
05:14:14,460 --> 05:14:15,500
Senator Joel Villanueva: 9,027

6536
05:14:16,280 --> 05:14:17,920
Senator Joel Villanueva: vacancies

6537
05:14:17,920 --> 05:14:18,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: lang po.

6538
05:14:19,040 --> 05:14:20,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: DOH OSEC.

6539
05:14:21,660 --> 05:14:23,260
Senator Joel Villanueva: At mamaya, pupuntahan ko

6540
05:14:23,260 --> 05:14:24,620
Senator Joel Villanueva: naman yung JO and

6541
05:14:24,620 --> 05:14:26,960
Senator Joel Villanueva: the contract of service.

6542
05:14:27,500 --> 05:14:29,460
Senator Joel Villanueva: 20,000 po ang nasa

6543
05:14:29,460 --> 05:14:30,180
Senator Joel Villanueva: DOH.

6544
05:14:30,980 --> 05:14:33,220
Senator Joel Villanueva: 20,000. Pero ang unfilled

6545
05:14:33,220 --> 05:14:35,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: position is 9,069.

6546
05:14:35,340 --> 05:14:37,280
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, wala bang nagko-qualify dito sa

6547
05:14:37,280 --> 05:14:39,620
Senator Joel Villanueva: 9,069?

6548
05:14:39,840 --> 05:14:41,380
Senator Joel Villanueva: And, of course, we wanted to

6549
05:14:41,380 --> 05:14:43,400
Senator Joel Villanueva: understand, no? We wanted

6550
05:14:43,400 --> 05:14:45,400
Senator Joel Villanueva: to understand, one, in these unfilled

6551
05:14:45,400 --> 05:14:47,680
Senator Joel Villanueva: positions na 9,069,

6552
05:14:48,600 --> 05:14:49,080
Senator Joel Villanueva: eh,

6553
05:14:49,780 --> 05:14:51,520
Senator Joel Villanueva: where are

6554
05:14:51,520 --> 05:14:52,440
Senator Joel Villanueva: these concentrated?

6555
05:14:53,360 --> 05:14:55,580
Senator Joel Villanueva: How long have they

6556
05:14:55,580 --> 05:14:57,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: uh, uh,

6557
05:14:57,240 --> 05:14:58,300
Senator Joel Villanueva: remained unfilled?

6558
05:14:59,120 --> 05:14:59,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ano ba yung mga

6559
05:15:00,000 --> 05:15:02,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: barriers preventing DOH

6560
05:15:02,540 --> 05:15:04,200
Senator Joel Villanueva: from filling up these

6561
05:15:04,200 --> 05:15:06,140
Senator Joel Villanueva: positions. Kahapon o, kami ni Senator

6562
05:15:06,140 --> 05:15:08,240
Senator Joel Villanueva: JV, we were conducting the

6563
05:15:08,240 --> 05:15:09,620
Senator Joel Villanueva: budget briefing ng

6564
05:15:09,620 --> 05:15:12,380
Senator Joel Villanueva: Commission on Audit. Ang problema

6565
05:15:12,380 --> 05:15:14,040
Senator Joel Villanueva: nila, yung item in itself,

6566
05:15:14,160 --> 05:15:15,360
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang baba po nung

6567
05:15:15,360 --> 05:15:17,980
Senator Joel Villanueva: pasweldo. So, talagang

6568
05:15:17,980 --> 05:15:19,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi rin pala

6569
05:15:19,840 --> 05:15:21,720
Senator Joel Villanueva: mag-commensurate dun sa

6570
05:15:21,720 --> 05:15:23,820
Senator Joel Villanueva: hinahanap nilang mga auditors.

6571
05:15:23,960 --> 05:15:25,600
Senator Joel Villanueva: In fact, ang attrition rate nila,

6572
05:15:25,700 --> 05:15:28,000
Senator Joel Villanueva: napakataas, 40-something percent.

6573
05:15:28,640 --> 05:15:29,600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Imagine, and

6574
05:15:29,600 --> 05:15:31,740
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang naging

6575
05:15:31,740 --> 05:15:33,980
Senator Joel Villanueva: solution to address

6576
05:15:33,980 --> 05:15:36,260
Senator Joel Villanueva: that problem is to really

6577
05:15:36,260 --> 05:15:37,960
Senator Joel Villanueva: ask

6578
05:15:37,960 --> 05:15:39,420
Senator Joel Villanueva: for the exemption

6579
05:15:39,420 --> 05:15:41,960
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa salary standardization,

6580
05:15:42,160 --> 05:15:43,900
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung Commission

6581
05:15:43,900 --> 05:15:44,520
Senator Joel Villanueva: on Audit.

6582
05:15:45,460 --> 05:15:46,140
Senator Joel Villanueva: So,

6583
05:15:46,540 --> 05:15:48,300
Senator Joel Villanueva: gusto natin maintindihan ito kasi

6584
05:15:48,300 --> 05:15:50,340
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang laki na po eh.

6585
05:15:51,900 --> 05:15:52,840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Last year,

6586
05:15:53,100 --> 05:15:54,400
Senator Joel Villanueva: one of ten

6587
05:15:54,400 --> 05:15:56,520
Senator Joel Villanueva: government positions

6588
05:15:57,140 --> 05:15:57,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: unfilled.

6589
05:15:58,500 --> 05:15:59,580
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, nag-improve naman

6590
05:15:59,580 --> 05:16:01,640
Senator Joel Villanueva: po, siguro may nangyari sa ginagawa

6591
05:16:01,640 --> 05:16:03,600
Senator Joel Villanueva: natin. Ngayon, one of thirteen

6592
05:16:03,600 --> 05:16:05,820
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang unfilled sa buong

6593
05:16:05,820 --> 05:16:08,120
Senator Joel Villanueva: gobyerno. But, DOH,

6594
05:16:08,200 --> 05:16:09,760
Senator Joel Villanueva: I just wanted to mention this.

6595
05:16:09,860 --> 05:16:11,740
Senator Joel Villanueva: You're the second highest sa

6596
05:16:11,740 --> 05:16:13,700
Senator Joel Villanueva: job orders and

6597
05:16:13,700 --> 05:16:15,500
Senator Joel Villanueva: contract of service headcount

6598
05:16:15,500 --> 05:16:17,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa lahat ng ahensya sa pamahalaan.

6599
05:16:18,220 --> 05:16:20,040
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang number one po ang DPWH.

6600
05:16:20,380 --> 05:16:21,660
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, we wanted to find out,

6601
05:16:21,740 --> 05:16:22,440

05:16:24,420 --> 05:16:25,920

05:16:57,200 --> 05:16:59,560
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: recognize that there are problems.

6620
05:16:59,580 --> 05:17:01,520
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: Like, there are various

6621
05:17:01,520 --> 05:17:02,900
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: reasons for us not

6622
05:17:02,900 --> 05:17:05,620
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: filling these positions up, especially

6623
05:17:05,620 --> 05:17:07,820
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: in the hospitals. Number one,

6624
05:17:08,040 --> 05:17:09,560
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: some of the positions in the

6625
05:17:09,560 --> 05:17:11,760
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: hospitals are really temporary in nature

6626
05:17:11,760 --> 05:17:13,640
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: because some of

6627
05:17:13,640 --> 05:17:15,740
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: these are used for fellowship and residency

6628
05:17:15,740 --> 05:17:17,600
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: training, which has a

6629
05:17:17,600 --> 05:17:19,560
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: temporary period of, which

6630
05:17:19,560 --> 05:17:21,780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: is in a, they occupy these positions

6631
05:17:21,780 --> 05:17:23,540
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: during two-year,

6632
05:17:23,660 --> 05:17:25,320
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: three-year periods. So,

6633
05:17:25,520 --> 05:17:27,620
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: nababakanti ho yun palagi. So, we need to

6634
05:17:27,620 --> 05:17:29,500
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: refill because of the residency and

6635
05:17:29,500 --> 05:17:31,540
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: fellowship training. Others, as

6636
05:17:31,540 --> 05:17:33,420
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: mentioned, mahirap

6637
05:17:33,420 --> 05:17:35,320
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: kung, wala hong masyadong

6638
05:17:35,320 --> 05:17:37,460
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: takers because of those

6639
05:17:37,460 --> 05:17:38,460
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: special

6640
05:17:38,460 --> 05:17:41,780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: cadres like speech therapies,

6641
05:17:42,560 --> 05:17:43,400
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: development

6642
05:17:43,400 --> 05:17:44,720
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: specialists, etc.

6643
05:17:45,320 --> 05:17:47,300
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: Yun, Sir. Yun yung mga ibang

6644
05:17:47,300 --> 05:17:49,540
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: reasons natin. But, we

6645
05:17:49,540 --> 05:17:51,120
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: did already

6646
05:17:51,120 --> 05:17:53,220
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: had

6647
05:17:53,220 --> 05:17:54,780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: measures undertaken.

6648
05:17:55,540 --> 05:17:57,320
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: We already have

6649
05:17:57,320 --> 05:17:58,680
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: helped the hospitals

6650
05:17:58,680 --> 05:18:00,780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: improve their filling

6651
05:18:00,780 --> 05:18:03,040
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: up rate by forming

6652
05:18:03,040 --> 05:18:04,760
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: various selection

6653
05:18:04,760 --> 05:18:06,960
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: and promotion boards. And that

6654
05:18:06,960 --> 05:18:08,840
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: finally, some of the hospitals

6655
05:18:08,840 --> 05:18:10,800
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: have already more than

6656
05:18:10,800 --> 05:18:12,620
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: 90% rate of filling

6657
05:18:12,620 --> 05:18:14,640
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: up. But, we're still working on

6658
05:18:14,640 --> 05:18:15,170
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: this.

6659
05:18:15,170 --> 05:18:16,640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Can we get

6660
05:18:16,640 --> 05:18:18,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: something from DOH?

6661
05:18:18,860 --> 05:18:19,940
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because I believe

6662
05:18:19,940 --> 05:18:21,980
Senator Joel Villanueva: DOH should distinguish

6663
05:18:21,980 --> 05:18:23,580
Senator Joel Villanueva: frontline clinical

6664
05:18:23,580 --> 05:18:26,140
Senator Joel Villanueva: vacancies from administrative

6665
05:18:26,140 --> 05:18:28,520

05:18:28,520 --> 05:18:30,260
Senator Joel Villanueva: obsolete positions

6667
05:18:30,260 --> 05:18:32,520

6668
05:18:32,520 --> 05:18:33,880
Senator Joel Villanueva: recruitment, compensation,

6669
05:18:34,320 --> 05:18:36,260
Senator Joel Villanueva: qualification, deployment,

6670
05:18:36,640 --> 05:18:38,340

6691

6692
05:19:20,280 --> 05:19:22,660

6713
05:20:02,680 --> 05:20:04,460

Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for you, but it will take a minute to load

05:26:07,920 --> 05:26:10,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: my numbers, so while we're doing

6896
05:26:10,240 --> 05:26:12,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that, I'll ask

6897
05:26:12,160 --> 05:26:14,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: some follow-up questions or make some follow-up

6898
05:26:14,040 --> 05:26:16,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: comments on the topics that were already discussed.

6899
05:26:16,940 --> 05:26:17,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, on the

6900
05:26:17,740 --> 05:26:22,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: importance

6901
05:26:22,120 --> 05:26:23,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of having a sufficient

6902
05:26:23,460 --> 05:26:25,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: human health resource

6903
05:26:25,480 --> 05:26:26,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: supply,

6904
05:26:28,080 --> 05:26:30,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: these are human beings, not supply,

6905
05:26:30,240 --> 05:26:32,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but in terms of, that's

6906
05:26:32,300 --> 05:26:34,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the official term, human resource supply,

6907
05:26:34,840 --> 05:26:35,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero mga tao naman to

6908
05:26:35,940 --> 05:26:37,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: who, you know, want a brighter

6909
05:26:37,980 --> 05:26:39,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: future for themselves, whose

6910
05:26:39,960 --> 05:26:41,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: families aspire that they will

6911
05:26:41,840 --> 05:26:43,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have successful careers.

6912
05:26:45,760 --> 05:26:47,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'd like to think that our

6913
05:26:47,540 --> 05:26:48,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Doktor Para sa Bayan

6914
05:26:48,980 --> 05:26:51,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: law has been successful

6915
05:26:51,780 --> 05:26:53,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because, as mentioned earlier,

6916
05:26:54,080 --> 05:26:55,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from eight public

6917
05:26:55,940 --> 05:26:57,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: medical schools, we now have, actually,

6918
05:26:58,080 --> 05:26:59,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 30, 32, it's

6919
05:26:59,900 --> 05:27:02,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 32, and that is good

6920
05:27:02,000 --> 05:27:04,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: news for us. It's not

6921
05:27:04,100 --> 05:27:05,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: easy because

6922
05:27:05,080 --> 05:27:09,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you know more than me, but

6923
05:27:09,440 --> 05:27:11,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's not just putting up the physical

6924
05:27:11,320 --> 05:27:13,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: structure of a school, it's having the

6925
05:27:13,340 --> 05:27:15,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: expertise, the

6926
05:27:15,540 --> 05:27:17,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: doctors who will teach, and

6927
05:27:17,540 --> 05:27:19,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: then the support system

6928
05:27:19,580 --> 05:27:21,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there, the equipment, and so on and so forth.

6929
05:27:22,260 --> 05:27:23,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's extremely successful

6930
05:27:23,640 --> 05:27:25,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: if you ask me, some more than others.

6931
05:27:25,980 --> 05:27:27,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, let's always look for the

6932
05:27:27,840 --> 05:27:28,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the

6933
05:27:28,860 --> 05:27:29,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the

6934
05:27:29,620 --> 05:27:32,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: best practices

6935
05:27:32,280 --> 05:27:34,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that can be shared

6936
05:27:34,360 --> 05:27:36,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with the others, because obviously some are more successful

6937
05:27:36,460 --> 05:27:38,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: than others. What I wanted to point

6938
05:27:38,340 --> 05:27:40,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: out, really, though, is the need

6939
05:27:40,500 --> 05:27:42,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to also do this for the other

6940
05:27:42,120 --> 05:27:44,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: allied health professions.

6941
05:27:45,360 --> 05:27:46,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What I tried to

6942
05:27:46,460 --> 05:27:48,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: do, because I handled the budget of

6943
05:27:48,460 --> 05:27:49,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: health for all these years,

6944
05:27:50,180 --> 05:27:52,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is to ask the state

6945
05:27:52,260 --> 05:27:54,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: universities, whose budget I also handled

6946
05:27:54,260 --> 05:27:55,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for seven years, I think.

6947
05:27:56,500 --> 05:27:58,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's only this year that I'm not handling it.

6948
05:27:58,560 --> 05:27:59,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Last year.

6949
05:27:59,620 --> 05:28:00,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Stopped handling it.

6950
05:28:01,300 --> 05:28:03,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To identify, because we're always ready

6951
05:28:03,520 --> 05:28:05,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to support, and I get

6952
05:28:05,620 --> 05:28:07,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a very poor response.

6953
05:28:07,740 --> 05:28:08,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Very poor response.

6954
05:28:08,980 --> 05:28:11,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Like, parang ako na nga yung nagsasabing

6955
05:28:11,160 --> 05:28:12,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: mag-a-allocate tayo,

6956
05:28:13,000 --> 05:28:14,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the response is so poor.

6957
05:28:14,700 --> 05:28:16,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I can submit to you later

6958
05:28:16,340 --> 05:28:19,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of how many universities that

6959
05:28:19,020 --> 05:28:20,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: should be capable of

6960
05:28:20,760 --> 05:28:22,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: offering more programs or expanding their

6961
05:28:22,880 --> 05:28:24,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: programs. Number one, ang in-expand lang

6962
05:28:24,980 --> 05:28:26,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is nursing. Normally, yun pa rin.

6963
05:28:27,200 --> 05:28:28,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kahit nabanggitin ko, lahat ng binanggit

6964
05:28:28,940 --> 05:28:29,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: natin, lahat ng

6965
05:28:29,620 --> 05:28:31,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: klaseng therapy. Occupational therapy,

6966
05:28:31,580 --> 05:28:32,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: physical therapy,

6967
05:28:33,260 --> 05:28:35,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: speech therapy, lahat yan,

6968
05:28:35,560 --> 05:28:37,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: binanggit ko na. Pharmacists,

6969
05:28:37,540 --> 05:28:39,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: radiotechs, lahat yan, wala pa rin.

6970
05:28:39,680 --> 05:28:41,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I'm not talking to those who are offering

6971
05:28:41,220 --> 05:28:43,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: liberal arts programs. I'm talking to

6972
05:28:43,000 --> 05:28:45,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: colleges and universities that offer science

6973
05:28:45,300 --> 05:28:46,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: programs. So, where's the gap?

6974
05:28:46,940 --> 05:28:49,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I know we have to talk

6975
05:28:49,260 --> 05:28:51,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to the professional associations,

6976
05:28:51,840 --> 05:28:52,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but I think

6977
05:28:52,820 --> 05:28:55,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: maybe, Secretary, you can form a

6978
05:28:55,320 --> 05:28:57,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: team, like a multi-sectoral

6979
05:28:57,440 --> 05:28:59,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: team and a multi-agency team

6980
05:28:59,620 --> 05:29:01,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: really look into this, you know, because

6981
05:29:01,280 --> 05:29:03,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kausap ko na yung CHED,

6982
05:29:03,240 --> 05:29:05,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kausap ko na yun, pero the result is

6983
05:29:05,340 --> 05:29:06,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so slow, so slow.

6984
05:29:07,200 --> 05:29:09,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I even tell them, okay, hindi kayo ready ngayon, mag-ready

6985
05:29:09,320 --> 05:29:11,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kayo next year, mag-ready kayo the next year, pero

6986
05:29:11,220 --> 05:29:13,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ganun pa rin. Sobrang

6987
05:29:13,080 --> 05:29:15,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hindi naman, parang wala tayong

6988
05:29:15,240 --> 05:29:16,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: urgency in

6989
05:29:16,460 --> 05:29:19,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: addressing this issue.

6990
05:29:19,820 --> 05:29:21,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then I go back to the reason,

6991
05:29:21,600 --> 05:29:23,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: part of the reason why we have that issue. So,

6992
05:29:23,240 --> 05:29:25,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: number one, we're really not, we're not

6993
05:29:25,120 --> 05:29:27,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: producing enough for our own

6994
05:29:27,280 --> 05:29:29,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: needs, but for those that we do produce,

6995
05:29:29,360 --> 05:29:31,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they have lucrative career opportunities

6996
05:29:31,640 --> 05:29:33,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: abroad, no? Alam na natin yan. That is not

6997
05:29:33,480 --> 05:29:34,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: new to any of us.

6998
05:29:35,260 --> 05:29:37,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If I go into the details, I'm wasting our time

6999
05:29:37,340 --> 05:29:39,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I'm preaching to the choir. But

7000
05:29:39,240 --> 05:29:41,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what I want to point out, Secretary,

7001
05:29:41,560 --> 05:29:43,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and maybe under your leadership

7002
05:29:43,400 --> 05:29:45,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it can be done,

7003
05:29:45,680 --> 05:29:47,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is the need to also

7004
05:29:47,140 --> 05:29:49,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have a multi-agency

7005
05:29:50,420 --> 05:29:55,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: committee that looks

7006
05:29:55,340 --> 05:29:56,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: into the

7007
05:29:58,040 --> 05:29:59,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: demand for

7008
05:29:59,000 --> 05:29:59,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our human health.

7009
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:05,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: resource from other countries because we cannot prevent them from leaving so we keep on producing

7010
05:30:05,660 --> 05:30:10,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so let's say we're successful we are already successful with more doctors and let's say and

7011
05:30:10,840 --> 05:30:15,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: even with the nurses we're very successful we just come up with more programs in the

7012
05:30:15,480 --> 05:30:27,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: other allied health fields and they'll just be um invited to to work abroad recently in the news

7013
05:30:27,040 --> 05:30:31,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: i don't know how recent but i just asked my team to dig it up uh

7014
05:30:31,760 --> 05:30:44,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that foreign foreign governments are actively recruiting filipino talents and of course it's

7015
05:30:44,830 --> 05:30:50,950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a source of pride because they like us but correct me if i'm wrong but in none of those

7016
05:30:50,950 --> 05:30:58,130
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: press releases did i hear any remorse that our own countrymen are losing very valuable

7017
05:30:58,130 --> 05:30:58,430
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: um

7018
05:30:58,450 --> 05:31:02,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: professionals who could be taking care of them we're not preventing them from leaving

7019
05:31:02,550 --> 05:31:14,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: government agencies involved in this direct to recognize at least that these are this is a loss

7020
05:31:14,830 --> 05:31:21,430
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for our country do you understand what i'm saying secretary so do you think you can work with dmw

7021
05:31:21,430 --> 05:31:28,130
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the specific um the specific country that was they were referring to was saudi arabia request

7022
05:31:28,130 --> 05:31:31,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for hundreds of staff nurses through a government to government hiring program another time

7023
05:31:31,770 --> 05:31:37,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we've become made very big in japan since i became a senator there is an issue in japan because our

7024
05:31:37,150 --> 05:31:41,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nurses want to go there but they are not treated like nurses though they are treated like assistant

7025
05:31:41,870 --> 05:31:46,390
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nurses but they're qualified so on an individual basis if we are able to fight their rights that's

7026
05:31:46,390 --> 05:31:53,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our job but as collectively we also want to see what's the effect on us and these countries will

7027
05:31:53,310 --> 05:31:58,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: need our health professionals more and more over the years because we have short-term health benefits

7028
05:31:58,010 --> 05:32:02,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: shortage talaga all over but we're not doing anything about it it's not that difficult to

7029
05:32:02,150 --> 05:32:09,070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: negotiate because we have the upper hand we have the supply that they need so maybe you can update

7030
05:32:09,070 --> 05:32:14,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: me secretary in in a few months no let's really and it's not your burden alone but somebody has

7031
05:32:14,490 --> 05:32:22,670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to take the lead and ikaw ang tatamaan because it is your hospitals it is your um it is everything

7032
05:32:22,670 --> 05:32:29,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: under you that that bears the the burden of of the migrating health workers can i just get a quick

7033
05:32:29,550 --> 05:32:38,850
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: reply yes mr chair and sentia uh nakita ko pong problema kaya hindi yung mabilis lumaganap yung

7034
05:32:38,850 --> 05:32:44,770
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mga healthcare courses number one po shortage talaga ng mga professors kasi they require

7035
05:32:44,770 --> 05:32:52,650
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: phd masters which should be pero dahil nga po most of the pt medtech radtech go clinical abroad

7036
05:32:52,650 --> 05:32:58,790
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: konti po yung umakyat so there should be an incentive for those who will enter the

7037
05:32:58,790 --> 05:33:06,870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: teaching route if at all secondly nga po i was wondering if it could be a really a policy that

7038
05:33:06,870 --> 05:33:12,750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: a recruitment should be a bilateral relations not an individual na re-raid po yung ating mga

7039
05:33:12,750 --> 05:33:20,050
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: hospital hindi naman natin na na na na na po polis tapos ang kapalit po immediate na pati

7040
05:33:20,050 --> 05:33:22,610
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasama may visa etc so i think it

7041
05:33:22,650 --> 05:33:29,090
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: should really be a bilateral negotiations with countries po uh and uh i will really look into

7042
05:33:29,090 --> 05:33:34,270
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that and and discuss with the the other agencies that you mentioned that's what i've been pushing

7043
05:33:34,270 --> 05:33:38,370
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for the bilateral agreements because they're they're horror stories where yung isang buong

7044
05:33:38,370 --> 05:33:43,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: department kinuha na lahat nung team nila doon from the head nurse to the to the and you have

7045
05:33:43,830 --> 05:33:50,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: some people are nodding their heads no so so we really have to look into this kasi yeah i'm

7046
05:33:50,910 --> 05:33:52,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: preaching to the choir so

7047
05:33:52,650 --> 05:34:00,670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: um and then and then uh one of one of the fairly recent um uh success stories that we can we can

7048
05:34:00,670 --> 05:34:07,250
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: um emulate is uh the philippine and denmark exchange uh where they had a bilateral moa

7049
05:34:07,250 --> 05:34:15,650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: wherein uh the the receipt of um our our professional health workers is in exchange

7050
05:34:15,650 --> 05:34:21,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of education training and recruitment so um hindi ako nakikialam sa ating ano sa ating uh

7051
05:34:22,650 --> 05:34:28,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kung ano yung mga requirements kayo naman hum bahala dyan no with prc but like if if they can

7052
05:34:28,150 --> 05:34:34,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: send back our uh for every whatever let's say for every 10 or for every 20 that you get ang kapalit

7053
05:34:34,150 --> 05:34:39,730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nun may babalik dito para makapag-aral on their expense ng master's degree tapos magtuturo ng

7054
05:34:39,730 --> 05:34:44,890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: dalawang taon tapos sige kunin niyo ulit walang problema i think so many would be open to that

7055
05:34:44,890 --> 05:34:50,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because filipinos are so family oriented they also want to go back and and give back to their

7056
05:34:50,110 --> 05:34:52,330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to their hometown and see their family

7057
05:34:52,650 --> 05:34:57,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: without jeopardizing their career opportunities abroad so it's just really a question of

7058
05:34:57,150 --> 05:35:03,730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: somebody making this their priority every program needs a champion and uh hindi ko na kaya mag

7059
05:35:03,730 --> 05:35:08,750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: champion ng lahat ng health issues so maghanap na tayo ng ibang champion i will be very supportive

7060
05:35:08,750 --> 05:35:15,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: as many of our colleagues will be pero you know i i bring this up periodically and whenever there's

7061
05:35:15,910 --> 05:35:20,370
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: fresh leadership i bring it up again uh in the hope actually i think it's one of my first

7062
05:35:20,370 --> 05:35:22,630
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: committee reports when i became a senator in 2004

7063
05:35:22,650 --> 05:35:29,350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 20 years my first committee report on the the shortage of uh human health care workers in the

7064
05:35:29,350 --> 05:35:35,710
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: philippines and the the brain drain so i'll move on to another topic my next topic as i said is also

7065
05:35:35,710 --> 05:35:44,170
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a follow-up on um issues uh taken up here sorry before i leave that no um on the on the human

7066
05:35:44,170 --> 05:35:52,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: health resource shortage um again i've taken this up also uh unfortunately uh the practice

7067
05:35:52,650 --> 05:36:01,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of health care is like is has politics involved no so may mga amendments to the nursing act or

7068
05:36:01,830 --> 05:36:08,650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and other laws that um touch on the practice and they haven't moved forward and but one of the

7069
05:36:08,650 --> 05:36:14,530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: proposals has been um to have different kinds of professionals like a two-year associate degree

7070
05:36:14,530 --> 05:36:21,350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: i remember 10 10 or more years ago meron tayong two-year degree pero ang purpose lang nun para

7071
05:36:21,350 --> 05:36:22,630
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: makaalis sila ng bansa kasi may mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga

7072
05:36:22,830 --> 05:36:28,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: two years two-year degree dito wala naman daw plantilio position ng two years so parang

7073
05:36:28,150 --> 05:36:36,170
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what's the point we were just really creating it for for uh for a overseas job um but now you know

7074
05:36:36,170 --> 05:36:41,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with continuing the continuing issue of many far-flung heirs not even having any health

7075
05:36:41,910 --> 05:36:46,670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: practitioner we should seriously look into this again di ko pong hihimasukan ang qualification

7076
05:36:46,670 --> 05:36:52,630
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and all that but even in the u.s they have associate nurse uh they have that

7077
05:36:52,650 --> 05:36:55,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that program, associate nurse two years.

7078
05:36:55,410 --> 05:36:57,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So it's something that we should consider.

7079
05:36:57,990 --> 05:37:00,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, and we also have our ladderized program.

7080
05:37:00,410 --> 05:37:01,610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: No one has mentioned it here.

7081
05:37:02,110 --> 05:37:06,390
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The ladderized program allows a BHW with units

7082
05:37:06,390 --> 05:37:12,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to have her experience credited to become a midwife

7083
05:37:12,230 --> 05:37:13,890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then the midwife to a nurse,

7084
05:37:14,270 --> 05:37:16,330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a nurse to a doctor and so on and so forth.

7085
05:37:16,410 --> 05:37:17,570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So there's so much we can do.

7086
05:37:17,570 --> 05:37:20,570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If we can only put a person in charge

7087
05:37:20,570 --> 05:37:24,170
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of these programs to really explore them.

7088
05:37:24,970 --> 05:37:26,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's it, Secretary.

7089
05:37:26,830 --> 05:37:29,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If you just tell me that you look into this.

7090
05:37:29,550 --> 05:37:31,790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In the U.S., they have the nurse practitioner

7091
05:37:31,790 --> 05:37:34,090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the physician's assistant

7092
05:37:34,090 --> 05:37:36,750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and very well entrenched in their system.

7093
05:37:37,270 --> 05:37:38,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But we don't have that here.

7094
05:37:38,210 --> 05:37:41,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I kind of heard that there's also resistance from doctors.

7095
05:37:41,370 --> 05:37:45,810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I mean, what are we going to do?

7096
05:37:46,990 --> 05:37:49,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So anyway, let's just put on record

7097
05:37:49,050 --> 05:37:50,190
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I'll just say that

7098
05:37:50,190 --> 05:37:51,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the Secretary is nodding.

7099
05:37:51,350 --> 05:37:52,790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But, you know, I've just said you look into it.

7100
05:37:52,870 --> 05:37:53,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'll leave it up to you.

7101
05:37:55,650 --> 05:37:58,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: These are just ideas that I've had for many years.

7102
05:37:59,730 --> 05:38:01,770
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, if I may react.

7103
05:38:02,070 --> 05:38:03,490
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes, that's what we said,

7104
05:38:03,910 --> 05:38:05,650
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: task shifting that we need to look into.

7105
05:38:06,270 --> 05:38:07,790
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And I agree.

7106
05:38:08,630 --> 05:38:11,750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: There are cadres of nursing positions,

7107
05:38:11,870 --> 05:38:12,970
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: for example, or medical

7108
05:38:12,970 --> 05:38:16,730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that doesn't need to be really a baccalaureate degree holder.

7109
05:38:17,050 --> 05:38:20,010
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: But we just have to define the scope of,

7110
05:38:20,190 --> 05:38:21,450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: what they can do.

7111
05:38:21,450 --> 05:38:24,790
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: I think that those are the reactions

7112
05:38:24,790 --> 05:38:26,930
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: coming from the professional associations.

7113
05:38:27,170 --> 05:38:27,990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And like you said earlier,

7114
05:38:28,070 --> 05:38:30,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there's a lot of management, administrative work

7115
05:38:30,150 --> 05:38:34,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that either those with health background can do

7116
05:38:34,150 --> 05:38:36,650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or we make it an enticing career

7117
05:38:36,650 --> 05:38:38,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for those with non-health background.

7118
05:38:38,150 --> 05:38:39,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They could have IT background

7119
05:38:39,270 --> 05:38:44,450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and be very helpful in the running of a health facility.

7120
05:38:44,990 --> 05:38:48,650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, I move on to the issue on health facilities,

7121
05:38:48,790 --> 05:38:49,530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the one with HFET.

7122
05:38:49,530 --> 05:38:49,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7123
05:38:50,190 --> 05:38:51,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I just want to put on record

7124
05:38:51,490 --> 05:38:55,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I was listening to the discussions earlier.

7125
05:38:56,490 --> 05:39:00,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I might have missed very minimally

7126
05:39:00,270 --> 05:39:02,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when I had to step into a meeting,

7127
05:39:02,370 --> 05:39:04,070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but otherwise I caught most of the discussion.

7128
05:39:04,790 --> 05:39:07,690
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And one of the topics was the HFET,

7129
05:39:07,770 --> 05:39:08,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the health facilities.

7130
05:39:08,810 --> 05:39:11,570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I know the response that you gave, Secretary,

7131
05:39:11,690 --> 05:39:13,670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was obviously, and was also mentioned now,

7132
05:39:13,970 --> 05:39:16,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we will focus on completion.

7133
05:39:16,410 --> 05:39:18,390
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But to be fair,

7134
05:39:18,550 --> 05:39:19,990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to all the previous,

7135
05:39:20,190 --> 05:39:23,090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to all the previous administrations,

7136
05:39:23,410 --> 05:39:26,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: including the hardworking USECs and department heads,

7137
05:39:27,410 --> 05:39:28,690
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for many years,

7138
05:39:28,830 --> 05:39:29,950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what was given to me,

7139
05:39:30,130 --> 05:39:31,190
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: not from the beginning,

7140
05:39:31,350 --> 05:39:32,210
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but the latter part,

7141
05:39:32,290 --> 05:39:33,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the last few years,

7142
05:39:33,590 --> 05:39:35,350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I chaired the committee,

7143
05:39:35,770 --> 05:39:40,670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I would receive a list of categories

7144
05:39:40,670 --> 05:39:45,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of funding that could be availed of,

7145
05:39:45,310 --> 05:39:47,810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: depending on what kind of,

7146
05:39:47,810 --> 05:39:49,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what kind of,

7147
05:39:49,470 --> 05:39:49,610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what,

7148
05:39:50,190 --> 05:39:52,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how do I describe this?

7149
05:39:52,890 --> 05:39:56,630
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What level of investment has already been put into that LGU?

7150
05:39:56,690 --> 05:39:57,250
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, for example,

7151
05:39:57,730 --> 05:39:58,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: completed building.

7152
05:39:59,730 --> 05:40:00,970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because what happens is,

7153
05:40:01,250 --> 05:40:03,710
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: whether you're a senator or a congressman,

7154
05:40:03,870 --> 05:40:07,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you'll get asked for equipment,

7155
05:40:07,310 --> 05:40:08,570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and they don't have a building yet.

7156
05:40:09,150 --> 05:40:10,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, in fairness,

7157
05:40:10,930 --> 05:40:15,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to your predecessors and the team that really supported it,

7158
05:40:15,010 --> 05:40:17,610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they showed me that

7159
05:40:17,610 --> 05:40:19,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this equipment,

7160
05:40:19,510 --> 05:40:21,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you can give them equipment

7161
05:40:21,110 --> 05:40:23,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because there's a building that's functional.

7162
05:40:23,110 --> 05:40:26,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, we were able to tell those who would come to us

7163
05:40:26,110 --> 05:40:28,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and tell them clearly that,

7164
05:40:28,110 --> 05:40:30,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sen, why can't we get equipment?

7165
05:40:30,110 --> 05:40:33,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because by the time LGU will be able to bid out that,

7166
05:40:33,110 --> 05:40:34,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or whatever,

7167
05:40:34,110 --> 05:40:36,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it will take a year.

7168
05:40:36,110 --> 05:40:38,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, that's why the equipment is there.

7169
05:40:38,110 --> 05:40:39,610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's already equipment there.

7170
05:40:39,610 --> 05:40:41,610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You can give it as soon as you're building it.

7171
05:40:41,610 --> 05:40:43,610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, we have to explain these things to them.

7172
05:40:43,610 --> 05:40:45,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To just share that,

7173
05:40:45,110 --> 05:40:47,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we don't really care,

7174
05:40:47,110 --> 05:40:49,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but that list has helped us

7175
05:40:49,110 --> 05:40:53,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: explain to our constituents from all over the country

7176
05:40:53,310 --> 05:40:54,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how the system works.

7177
05:40:54,510 --> 05:40:56,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if it's implemented properly,

7178
05:40:56,510 --> 05:40:58,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's okay.

7179
05:40:58,510 --> 05:41:00,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, does that list still exist?

7180
05:41:02,940 --> 05:41:03,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes, ma'am.

7181
05:41:03,540 --> 05:41:06,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And we also have an omnibus requirement now

7182
05:41:06,740 --> 05:41:08,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that we will not include

7183
05:41:08,240 --> 05:41:09,640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if the site conditions,

7184
05:41:09,640 --> 05:41:11,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: what we've mentioned earlier.

7185
05:41:11,140 --> 05:41:13,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, it's more structured.

7186
05:41:13,340 --> 05:41:14,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it's like that.

7187
05:41:14,040 --> 05:41:15,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because I also handled the budget of DepEd,

7188
05:41:15,940 --> 05:41:16,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's also like that.

7189
05:41:16,740 --> 05:41:17,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Those who request a school,

7190
05:41:17,940 --> 05:41:20,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's also not possible if it's not site-approved,

7191
05:41:20,440 --> 05:41:23,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with all the proper documentations

7192
05:41:23,440 --> 05:41:24,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that the land owner has,

7193
05:41:24,840 --> 05:41:26,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: either it's a long-term lease for you,

7194
05:41:26,840 --> 05:41:28,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or, I don't know, ownership,

7195
05:41:28,040 --> 05:41:29,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: whatever the requirement is.

7196
05:41:29,240 --> 05:41:31,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, that's good that we put that on record.

7197
05:41:31,840 --> 05:41:33,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because that's in place.

7198
05:41:33,140 --> 05:41:36,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm not aware that...

7199
05:41:36,240 --> 05:41:39,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Well, because I attribute good faith.

7200
05:41:39,840 --> 05:41:41,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if that's followed,

7201
05:41:41,340 --> 05:41:43,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it should be fairly good.

7202
05:41:43,940 --> 05:41:45,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Should be.

7203
05:41:45,840 --> 05:41:47,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then, on that note then,

7204
05:41:47,240 --> 05:41:50,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I also heard the discussion on super health centers.

7205
05:41:50,440 --> 05:41:54,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Taguig City has very successful super health centers.

7206
05:41:54,440 --> 05:41:58,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And the reason for that is Taguig City prioritizes healthcare.

7207
05:41:58,140 --> 05:42:01,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, they pay for whatever is required

7208
05:42:01,540 --> 05:42:05,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to keep that super health center up and running.

7209
05:42:05,740 --> 05:42:09,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I understand how other LGUs may have problems doing it.

7210
05:42:09,040 --> 05:42:11,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I think the challenge that you have

7211
05:42:11,640 --> 05:42:17,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is to be politically savvy enough

7212
05:42:17,040 --> 05:42:20,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to put those super health centers...

7213
05:42:20,040 --> 05:42:23,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because whenever we talk about banning

7214
05:42:23,740 --> 05:42:26,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and prohibiting this,

7215
05:42:26,140 --> 05:42:28,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's a little bit dangerous because

7216
05:42:28,240 --> 05:42:30,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: who's going to say that people don't need a health center

7217
05:42:30,740 --> 05:42:32,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and a super health center?

7218
05:42:32,440 --> 05:42:37,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's when it is haphazardly implemented

7219
05:42:37,540 --> 05:42:38,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when we have a problem.

7220
05:42:38,640 --> 05:42:42,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, your job includes being politically savvy enough

7221
05:42:42,940 --> 05:42:45,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to say that LGUs mag-share kayo dyan.

7222
05:42:45,440 --> 05:42:46,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mag-share kayo dyan.

7223
05:42:46,340 --> 05:42:47,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: When it's being done, right?

7224
05:42:47,940 --> 05:42:49,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just wanted to elicit that response.

7225
05:42:50,040 --> 05:42:54,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretary Mercado, from your end,

7226
05:42:54,240 --> 05:42:55,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because it's not as if it's not being done.

7227
05:42:55,940 --> 05:42:58,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And also, I also didn't hear it said,

7228
05:42:58,440 --> 05:43:00,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but I know it is a practice,

7229
05:43:00,040 --> 05:43:04,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that you enter into a MOA with these LGUs

7230
05:43:04,940 --> 05:43:08,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: saying that when we construct this facility for you,

7231
05:43:08,540 --> 05:43:10,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you will run it.

7232
05:43:10,140 --> 05:43:14,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I think it's important that your team really examines

7233
05:43:14,640 --> 05:43:16,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yung sinasabing hindi pinapatakbo.

7234
05:43:16,740 --> 05:43:17,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ano ba nangyari doon?

7235
05:43:17,640 --> 05:43:19,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Wala bang usapan yon?

7236
05:43:19,140 --> 05:43:21,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Natalo ba yung kandidatong kausap nila?

7237
05:43:21,140 --> 05:43:23,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kaya yung bago ayaw na?

7238
05:43:23,140 --> 05:43:26,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because technically, that is an obligation

7239
05:43:26,140 --> 05:43:29,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the juridical entity, which is the city.

7240
05:43:29,240 --> 05:43:31,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, that should be a continuing obligation.

7241
05:43:31,240 --> 05:43:32,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, baka we can look into this.

7242
05:43:32,640 --> 05:43:34,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi ang sama lang pakinggan sa public.

7243
05:43:34,440 --> 05:43:36,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's why I wanted to bring it up again.

7244
05:43:36,640 --> 05:43:38,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Nang masagot naman ninyo ng maayos.

7245
05:43:38,640 --> 05:43:40,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi para namang wala kayong kapakipakialam.

7246
05:43:40,840 --> 05:43:42,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Which I know is not true.

7247
05:43:42,840 --> 05:43:44,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I know it's not true.

7248
05:43:44,440 --> 05:43:47,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, number one, tama ba ako na MOA yan?

7249
05:43:47,640 --> 05:43:49,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi I would always ask,

7250
05:43:49,140 --> 05:43:52,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the obligations are very clear,

7251
05:43:52,140 --> 05:43:54,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that DOH will construct it

7252
05:43:54,140 --> 05:43:56,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then you will manage it.

7253
05:43:56,140 --> 05:43:58,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then, ito yung hindi ko alam.

7254
05:43:58,140 --> 05:44:01,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, kindly respond in, you know,

7255
05:44:01,140 --> 05:44:02,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what is the practice now.

7256
05:44:02,140 --> 05:44:03,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But napag-usapan din yon,

7257
05:44:03,640 --> 05:44:06,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that there can be shared,

7258
05:44:06,140 --> 05:44:08,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: LGUs can share a facility.

7259
05:44:08,140 --> 05:44:09,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In as much as,

7260
05:44:09,140 --> 05:44:11,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang laki siguro ng isang probinsya,

7261
05:44:11,140 --> 05:44:13,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero you choose to put it doon sa kanto

7262
05:44:13,140 --> 05:44:15,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na malapit doon sa isang probinsya din,

7263
05:44:15,140 --> 05:44:18,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: para province B can also share.

7264
05:44:18,140 --> 05:44:19,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kahit na,

7265
05:44:19,140 --> 05:44:21,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pinipilit ni governor ng province A

7266
05:44:21,140 --> 05:44:23,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na kailangan niya doon sa sentral,

7267
05:44:23,140 --> 05:44:26,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero sa MOA kasi kailangan din natin asikasuin habang wala pa to,

7268
05:44:26,140 --> 05:44:28,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: may ganoon naman siguro tayo,

7269
05:44:28,140 --> 05:44:30,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Secretary, di ba?

7270
05:44:30,140 --> 05:44:32,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Madam, Mr. Chair,

7271
05:44:32,140 --> 05:44:34,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yun nga po yung gusto kong gawin eh.

7272
05:44:34,140 --> 05:44:36,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Meron na po talagang yung

7273
05:44:36,140 --> 05:44:40,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: how to analyze a healthcare provider network

7274
05:44:40,140 --> 05:44:42,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in certain catchment population

7275
05:44:42,140 --> 05:44:44,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that will now,

7276
05:44:44,140 --> 05:44:46,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: parang

7277
05:44:46,140 --> 05:44:48,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: allocative efficiency,

7278
05:44:48,140 --> 05:44:50,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to determine

7279
05:44:50,140 --> 05:44:52,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if there's already one CT scan, for example,

7280
05:44:52,140 --> 05:44:54,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: and it can cover a certain geographic area,

7281
05:44:54,140 --> 05:44:56,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: then you don't need to buy,

7282
05:44:56,140 --> 05:44:58,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to have another CT scan,

7283
05:44:58,140 --> 05:44:59,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: right across town.

7284
05:44:59,140 --> 05:45:00,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ang tawag po doon,

7285
05:45:00,260 --> 05:45:02,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: before was Certificate of

7286
05:45:02,840 --> 05:45:04,860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Needs. And there's a scientific way

7287
05:45:04,860 --> 05:45:06,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: of determining if the

7288
05:45:06,540 --> 05:45:08,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: current supply already

7289
05:45:08,880 --> 05:45:10,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: can only

7290
05:45:10,340 --> 05:45:12,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sustain one,

7291
05:45:12,560 --> 05:45:14,820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: it should not allow another

7292
05:45:14,820 --> 05:45:18,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: service of the same kind.

7293
05:45:18,560 --> 05:45:19,880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Just so, we can put

7294
05:45:19,880 --> 05:45:22,260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: another service that is not yet available

7295
05:45:22,260 --> 05:45:24,240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in a healthcare network.

7296
05:45:24,360 --> 05:45:26,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Maybe you have a heart, maybe the next

7297
05:45:26,200 --> 05:45:28,520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: is a stroke, the next is cancer,

7298
05:45:28,520 --> 05:45:30,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the next is a different

7299
05:45:30,440 --> 05:45:32,740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: service. So, that's

7300
05:45:32,740 --> 05:45:34,660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: what we're going to look at. And I need

7301
05:45:34,660 --> 05:45:36,840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: help, Karen, from the legislators

7302
05:45:36,840 --> 05:45:38,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to give us

7303
05:45:38,400 --> 05:45:40,340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the power to determine

7304
05:45:40,340 --> 05:45:42,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if this is based on our analysis

7305
05:45:42,720 --> 05:45:43,720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that should be put.

7306
05:45:44,580 --> 05:45:46,380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And if there are...

7307
05:45:46,380 --> 05:45:48,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You already have that power. I don't think

7308
05:45:48,600 --> 05:45:50,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you have to ask us for that power.

7309
05:45:50,860 --> 05:45:51,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You already have that power.

7310
05:45:52,360 --> 05:45:54,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: During the budget,

7311
05:45:55,320 --> 05:45:56,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: perhaps

7312
05:45:56,280 --> 05:45:58,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: more in the

7313
05:45:58,380 --> 05:46:00,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: House, because they are

7314
05:46:00,000 --> 05:46:02,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hands-on with their constituents, then of course

7315
05:46:02,480 --> 05:46:04,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they will lobby. There's nothing wrong

7316
05:46:04,400 --> 05:46:06,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with them lobbying for the needs of their constituents.

7317
05:46:06,500 --> 05:46:07,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But you have that power.

7318
05:46:08,160 --> 05:46:09,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They may override you because

7319
05:46:09,620 --> 05:46:11,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the Constitution allows

7320
05:46:11,640 --> 05:46:14,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: members of Congress to

7321
05:46:14,060 --> 05:46:16,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: amend, but that's where

7322
05:46:16,260 --> 05:46:18,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think our chairman was saying that, at least

7323
05:46:18,380 --> 05:46:20,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: on our part, we're doing our best to

7324
05:46:20,320 --> 05:46:22,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: support you because of the expertise. But I

7325
05:46:22,160 --> 05:46:24,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: need to also express that there's

7326
05:46:24,000 --> 05:46:25,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: expertise for the

7327
05:46:25,260 --> 05:46:28,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: members of the House,

7328
05:46:28,380 --> 05:46:30,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for the mayors, for the needs of their constituents.

7329
05:46:30,400 --> 05:46:32,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So like I said, it's not easy,

7330
05:46:32,180 --> 05:46:33,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: granted. But you have to

7331
05:46:33,980 --> 05:46:34,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: exercise

7332
05:46:34,380 --> 05:46:39,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a lot of...

7333
05:46:39,980 --> 05:46:41,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Well, the term I use is

7334
05:46:41,520 --> 05:46:42,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: be politically savvy.

7335
05:46:43,220 --> 05:46:45,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Here first, there later on.

7336
05:46:46,520 --> 05:46:48,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But anyway, I think

7337
05:46:48,020 --> 05:46:49,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we're quite clear on that. Secretary,

7338
05:46:49,980 --> 05:46:52,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just want to let you know that last year,

7339
05:46:53,140 --> 05:46:54,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DOH already...

7340
05:46:54,180 --> 05:46:55,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DOH mentioned that there were 300...

7341
05:46:56,520 --> 05:46:58,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They called it haunted health

7342
05:46:58,000 --> 05:46:59,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: facilities. And we want...

7343
05:46:59,940 --> 05:47:01,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We asked for a breakdown because

7344
05:47:01,460 --> 05:47:03,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's bad to hear that from the public.

7345
05:47:03,760 --> 05:47:04,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't want to just

7346
05:47:04,700 --> 05:47:07,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: news it. Such negative

7347
05:47:07,760 --> 05:47:09,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: news for our country. I don't want that.

7348
05:47:09,920 --> 05:47:11,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I'm just letting you know that they said

7349
05:47:11,620 --> 05:47:13,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that. Maybe you can come back

7350
05:47:13,780 --> 05:47:15,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to this. You can ask the team

7351
05:47:15,140 --> 05:47:16,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: where that info came from.

7352
05:47:17,320 --> 05:47:19,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Basically, when they say haunted, there's no

7353
05:47:19,140 --> 05:47:21,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: equipment. But no equipment

7354
05:47:21,780 --> 05:47:24,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: haunted

7355
05:47:24,300 --> 05:47:25,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in the sense that

7356
05:47:25,840 --> 05:47:27,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's deserted. It's not being

7357
05:47:27,800 --> 05:47:28,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: used.

7358
05:47:29,280 --> 05:47:31,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Maybe you can look into

7359
05:47:31,860 --> 05:47:33,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that. Because for them to say, for the

7360
05:47:33,720 --> 05:47:34,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretary to say that,

7361
05:47:36,260 --> 05:47:37,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think it was the Secretary who said

7362
05:47:37,820 --> 05:47:39,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that, the previous Secretary, maybe

7363
05:47:39,560 --> 05:47:41,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's a good thing. So maybe you can look into it

7364
05:47:41,480 --> 05:47:43,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then you can give us revised numbers.

7365
05:47:44,720 --> 05:47:45,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We will do.

7366
05:47:45,660 --> 05:47:46,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's a good thing.

7367
05:47:47,980 --> 05:47:48,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7368
05:47:56,160 --> 05:47:57,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So are we ready with my

7369
05:47:57,800 --> 05:47:59,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: slide? Okay, that's my slide.

7370
05:48:00,220 --> 05:48:01,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretary, this is

7371
05:48:01,680 --> 05:48:02,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for President

7372
05:48:02,500 --> 05:48:05,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Bevho. It's good news for you in the sense

7373
05:48:05,620 --> 05:48:07,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that I'm pretty sure you know

7374
05:48:07,600 --> 05:48:09,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this. You've followed this discussion

7375
05:48:09,700 --> 05:48:11,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for many years. But I presented

7376
05:48:11,560 --> 05:48:13,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this to the DBCC, to the

7377
05:48:13,660 --> 05:48:15,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: economic team. Because if I

7378
05:48:15,600 --> 05:48:17,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: just present this to you, you're limited

7379
05:48:17,740 --> 05:48:19,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to what you already have, what was given to

7380
05:48:19,640 --> 05:48:21,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you. You can't do anything. All you can do is

7381
05:48:21,740 --> 05:48:23,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: wishfully

7382
05:48:23,340 --> 05:48:25,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: express your

7383
05:48:25,320 --> 05:48:29,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: alignment with

7384
05:48:29,480 --> 05:48:31,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our desire for you to have this.

7385
05:48:31,680 --> 05:48:33,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But for the record, I will read

7386
05:48:33,560 --> 05:48:35,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it. This is the

7387
05:48:35,200 --> 05:48:37,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: unallocated syntax. So the

7388
05:48:37,360 --> 05:48:38,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: syntax law

7389
05:48:38,460 --> 05:48:41,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: requires that

7390
05:48:41,000 --> 05:48:42,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the revenue from

7391
05:48:42,600 --> 05:48:45,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the SYN products,

7392
05:48:45,740 --> 05:48:47,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a certain portion is earmarked for

7393
05:48:47,460 --> 05:48:49,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: field health. And so in

7394
05:48:49,100 --> 05:48:51,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2023, the earmarked amount was

7395
05:48:51,460 --> 05:48:53,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 83.90 billion pesos.

7396
05:48:53,880 --> 05:48:55,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What appeared in the NEP

7397
05:48:55,420 --> 05:48:57,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was 79. And in the

7398
05:48:57,500 --> 05:48:59,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: final version, which is called

7399
05:48:59,260 --> 05:49:01,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Daga'a, 79 pa rin. So may kulang

7400
05:49:01,620 --> 05:49:03,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na 4.90 billion.

7401
05:49:03,740 --> 05:49:05,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In 2024, 79

7402
05:49:05,700 --> 05:49:07,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: B was earmarked.

7403
05:49:08,380 --> 05:49:09,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 80 B was provided

7404
05:49:09,740 --> 05:49:11,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in the NEP. Only 40

7405
05:49:11,400 --> 05:49:12,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in Daga'a. And so

7406
05:49:12,960 --> 05:49:15,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the deficiency is 38.73

7407
05:49:16,120 --> 05:49:17,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: billion. In

7408
05:49:17,280 --> 05:49:20,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2025, 69.81

7409
05:49:20,000 --> 05:49:21,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: billion was earmarked.

7410
05:49:21,980 --> 05:49:23,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In the NEP, it was still

7411
05:49:23,480 --> 05:49:25,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: less, 53.13 billion.

7412
05:49:26,260 --> 05:49:27,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In Daga'a, it was

7413
05:49:27,320 --> 05:49:29,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: zero. So ang deficiency was

7414
05:49:29,140 --> 05:49:31,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 69.81 billion.

7415
05:49:31,620 --> 05:49:32,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then

7416
05:49:32,980 --> 05:49:35,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in

7417
05:49:35,200 --> 05:49:37,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2026, ito yung

7418
05:49:37,760 --> 05:49:40,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: napaglaban namin para sa inyo.

7419
05:49:40,240 --> 05:49:41,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama? Ito yun. Okay.

7420
05:49:41,960 --> 05:49:43,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm so confused because every year

7421
05:49:43,980 --> 05:49:45,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I've been doing this. So

7422
05:49:45,560 --> 05:49:48,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in 2026, that was the year na hanggang

7423
05:49:48,180 --> 05:49:50,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: last day ng extended, extended,

7424
05:49:50,380 --> 05:49:52,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: extended bicameral conference

7425
05:49:52,140 --> 05:49:54,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: meetings namin, kinabol

7426
05:49:54,160 --> 05:49:56,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: namin yung amount na ito. And

7427
05:49:56,020 --> 05:49:57,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: therefore, zero.

7428
05:49:57,880 --> 05:50:00,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Success po tayo dyan. Walang utang

7429
05:50:00,280 --> 05:50:01,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yan. So supposed to be nakukuha.

7430
05:50:01,620 --> 05:50:03,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung lahat yan. I'm not going to even ask

7431
05:50:03,940 --> 05:50:05,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you how it was used because obviously you're

7432
05:50:05,840 --> 05:50:06,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: new, but

7433
05:50:06,700 --> 05:50:09,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that amount should have been delivered

7434
05:50:09,820 --> 05:50:12,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to you. Now for 2027,

7435
05:50:12,200 --> 05:50:12,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this is new.

7436
05:50:14,120 --> 05:50:15,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I asked

7437
05:50:15,300 --> 05:50:17,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the economic managers

7438
05:50:17,480 --> 05:50:20,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how much was the syntax

7439
05:50:20,000 --> 05:50:21,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: earmarked for PhilHealth

7440
05:50:21,520 --> 05:50:24,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and they told me it was 75.2

7441
05:50:24,440 --> 05:50:26,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: billion. They gave me these figures.

7442
05:50:26,440 --> 05:50:27,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then I asked

7443
05:50:27,440 --> 05:50:29,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how much is in the NEP?

7444
05:50:29,840 --> 05:50:31,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it's 55.4.

7445
05:50:31,500 --> 05:50:33,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I asked, so therefore

7446
05:50:33,700 --> 05:50:35,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and in deficiency, it's

7447
05:50:35,180 --> 05:50:37,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 19.78. So

7448
05:50:37,400 --> 05:50:39,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they owe this to PhilHealth.

7449
05:50:39,400 --> 05:50:40,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They owe this to you.

7450
05:50:43,780 --> 05:50:45,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I asked my team to refresh

7451
05:50:45,480 --> 05:50:46,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: my memory.

7452
05:50:47,800 --> 05:50:49,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They did not

7453
05:50:49,360 --> 05:50:51,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: disagree with me that by

7454
05:50:51,460 --> 05:50:53,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: law, this is owed to PhilHealth.

7455
05:50:53,740 --> 05:50:55,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But they did not say anything

7456
05:50:55,240 --> 05:50:57,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: further. So

7457
05:50:57,080 --> 05:50:59,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretariat is the chairman

7458
05:50:59,160 --> 05:51:00,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of PhilHealth

7459
05:51:00,500 --> 05:51:01,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: PhilHealth.

7460
05:51:01,500 --> 05:51:01,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And obviously,

7461
05:51:02,480 --> 05:51:03,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Doc Bev as the president,

7462
05:51:04,580 --> 05:51:05,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you have to fight for this.

7463
05:51:05,820 --> 05:51:07,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because these are funds that you're asking for.

7464
05:51:08,240 --> 05:51:09,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I take note that

7465
05:51:09,780 --> 05:51:10,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: earlier,

7466
05:51:11,700 --> 05:51:14,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: President Bev said that the request

7467
05:51:14,120 --> 05:51:15,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was 800 billion

7468
05:51:15,840 --> 05:51:17,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for PhilHealth, right?

7469
05:51:20,440 --> 05:51:21,080
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 374

7470
05:51:21,220 --> 05:51:22,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did the 800 come from?

7471
05:51:23,280 --> 05:51:25,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Realization of UHC.

7472
05:51:25,700 --> 05:51:26,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, yes, yes. Okay.

7473
05:51:26,800 --> 05:51:28,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Realization of UHC. Sorry, sorry. To be clear.

7474
05:51:28,840 --> 05:51:29,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Um,

7475
05:51:30,760 --> 05:51:32,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but then what was

7476
05:51:32,780 --> 05:51:35,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: allocated under the NEP is 74 billion.

7477
05:51:35,240 --> 05:51:37,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then later on. So if we go with that alone,

7478
05:51:38,240 --> 05:51:43,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there's a deficiency of 726 billion, more or less.

7479
05:51:44,520 --> 05:51:46,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then you also gave another number.

7480
05:51:46,220 --> 05:51:48,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: This is the minimum that you can work with.

7481
05:51:48,080 --> 05:51:49,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And that was 244 billion.

7482
05:51:50,240 --> 05:51:54,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So 244 billion minus 74 billion, which was allocated,

7483
05:51:54,020 --> 05:51:56,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: leaves you with 170 billion.

7484
05:51:57,860 --> 05:51:58,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There.

7485
05:51:59,060 --> 05:51:59,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There it is.

7486
05:52:00,180 --> 05:52:02,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 133. If you subtract that,

7487
05:52:02,440 --> 05:52:03,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's almost covered.

7488
05:52:03,720 --> 05:52:05,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But if you even add

7489
05:52:05,360 --> 05:52:07,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: PCSO and PAGCOR,

7490
05:52:07,680 --> 05:52:11,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and that figure is 66.21 billion,

7491
05:52:12,020 --> 05:52:13,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the total of all of this

7492
05:52:13,640 --> 05:52:15,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is 386 billion.

7493
05:52:15,680 --> 05:52:16,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You still have 64 left over.

7494
05:52:17,240 --> 05:52:18,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you're not at the minimum.

7495
05:52:19,060 --> 05:52:20,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, how would you feel

7496
05:52:20,740 --> 05:52:22,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: if, you know,

7497
05:52:22,540 --> 05:52:24,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: me as a mother, I told my kids,

7498
05:52:25,400 --> 05:52:27,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: oh, okay, you have to be vaccinated.

7499
05:52:28,120 --> 05:52:28,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then,

7500
05:52:29,080 --> 05:52:30,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: aside from vaccination as an infant,

7501
05:52:30,900 --> 05:52:32,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of course, if you're sick,

7502
05:52:32,440 --> 05:52:34,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I have, I have budget here.

7503
05:52:34,580 --> 05:52:35,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you can go to a doctor

7504
05:52:35,760 --> 05:52:37,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then if there's an emergency, et cetera,

7505
05:52:37,740 --> 05:52:39,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: then say, but bare minimum lang tayo,

7506
05:52:39,460 --> 05:52:40,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: dun lang tayo sa vaccination.

7507
05:52:41,160 --> 05:52:44,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It doesn't sound like health is being prioritized, right?

7508
05:52:44,440 --> 05:52:47,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I would love for you to have more than your minimum.

7509
05:52:47,860 --> 05:52:50,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I'm telling you, by law, you have it.

7510
05:52:50,760 --> 05:52:53,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So by law, you have the right to fight for it.

7511
05:52:53,820 --> 05:52:55,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And we will fight with you.

7512
05:52:55,460 --> 05:52:56,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But the main job,

7513
05:52:57,160 --> 05:53:00,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our main job was done when we passed this law.

7514
05:53:00,780 --> 05:53:02,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then when we do oversight,

7515
05:53:02,440 --> 05:53:03,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: like in the budget,

7516
05:53:03,420 --> 05:53:05,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na paulit-ulit kaming parang sirang plaka.

7517
05:53:06,840 --> 05:53:08,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you have to fight for it

7518
05:53:08,380 --> 05:53:11,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because the Filipino people deserve this.

7519
05:53:11,720 --> 05:53:13,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it was allocated for health.

7520
05:53:13,460 --> 05:53:16,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was not allocated for economic recovery.

7521
05:53:16,740 --> 05:53:19,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was not allocated for some other important need.

7522
05:53:19,780 --> 05:53:21,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was allocated for health.

7523
05:53:21,820 --> 05:53:25,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So this is not to diminish the importance of other concerns,

7524
05:53:26,020 --> 05:53:27,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but this was allocated for health.

7525
05:53:29,360 --> 05:53:31,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So there you have it.

7526
05:53:32,440 --> 05:53:38,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I leave those imaginary funds in your imagination.

7527
05:53:41,090 --> 05:53:42,470
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I move on.

7528
05:53:42,870 --> 05:53:51,610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, quick response kasi we cannot record your nodding of your head.

7529
05:53:51,670 --> 05:53:54,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I'm putting on record, you are nodding your head vigorously,

7530
05:53:54,410 --> 05:53:59,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: both the Secretary of Health and the President of PhilHealth.

7531
05:54:00,210 --> 05:54:01,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you want the funds?

7532
05:54:01,230 --> 05:54:02,010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes or no?

7533
05:54:02,410 --> 05:54:02,850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes.

7534
05:54:02,850 --> 05:54:03,290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7535
05:54:03,490 --> 05:54:04,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tanong ko sa lahat.

7536
05:54:04,150 --> 05:54:04,790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ang kasama nyo.

7537
05:54:04,890 --> 05:54:05,890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you want the funds?

7538
05:54:06,010 --> 05:54:06,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes or no?

7539
05:54:06,990 --> 05:54:07,290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7540
05:54:07,450 --> 05:54:07,950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

7541
05:54:08,570 --> 05:54:09,010
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Likewise.

7542
05:54:09,170 --> 05:54:10,850
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you for bringing that up, Senator Pia.

7543
05:54:10,850 --> 05:54:12,010
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I know that every year,

7544
05:54:12,330 --> 05:54:14,830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: you've been bringing this up with our DBCC.

7545
05:54:15,730 --> 05:54:19,750
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And these funds really belong to PhilHealth

7546
05:54:19,750 --> 05:54:21,550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and for the UAC implementation

7547
05:54:21,550 --> 05:54:24,330
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and not for any other purpose.

7548
05:54:24,510 --> 05:54:25,790
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Talagang kanila yan eh.

7549
05:54:25,850 --> 05:54:28,610
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So we will just have to keep on

7550
05:54:28,610 --> 05:54:32,310
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pushing them to the wall to release,

7551
05:54:32,410 --> 05:54:33,050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kahit partial.

7552
05:54:33,050 --> 05:54:34,130
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because hopefully,

7553
05:54:34,150 --> 05:54:38,170
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it can cover yung deficit na binagat kanin ni Doc Bev, no?

7554
05:54:38,170 --> 05:54:39,890
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na about minimum,

7555
05:54:39,890 --> 05:54:40,910
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: baka 200B.

7556
05:54:40,910 --> 05:54:43,530
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kung hindi man 300, at least 200.

7557
05:54:44,130 --> 05:54:46,090
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero kung na rin, dapat mapush.

7558
05:54:46,090 --> 05:54:51,390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So I'd like to thank Sen Pia for always bringing this topic up.

7559
05:54:52,650 --> 05:54:53,070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

7560
05:54:53,070 --> 05:54:55,730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

7561
05:54:57,190 --> 05:54:58,730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you for always supporting.

7562
05:54:59,030 --> 05:55:01,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sama-sama naman tayo dito sa advocacy natin.

7563
05:55:01,690 --> 05:55:04,130
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Um, last few points.

7564
05:55:04,150 --> 05:55:09,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Um, FDA, OIC, Atty. Tabakin,

7565
05:55:09,270 --> 05:55:10,470
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I note that you're there.

7566
05:55:10,470 --> 05:55:12,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I will address it to the Secretary, no?

7567
05:55:12,270 --> 05:55:16,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because the FDA is still under the Department of Health.

7568
05:55:16,770 --> 05:55:20,730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But obviously, there is an OIC

7569
05:55:20,730 --> 05:55:24,570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because it's your primary responsibility to handle it

7570
05:55:24,570 --> 05:55:27,330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sa dami nang nasa ilalim ng DOH, no?

7571
05:55:27,330 --> 05:55:32,130
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Are you familiar, Atty. Tabakin, with the vape epidemic?

7572
05:55:32,130 --> 05:55:37,390
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

7573
05:55:37,390 --> 05:55:37,870
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

7574
05:55:37,870 --> 05:55:38,370
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

7575
05:55:38,370 --> 05:55:38,510
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

7576
05:55:38,530 --> 05:55:39,750
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Fairly familiar, Your Honour.

7577
05:55:39,750 --> 05:55:40,650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Fairly.

7578
05:55:40,650 --> 05:55:41,470
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What do you know?

7579
05:55:41,470 --> 05:55:42,510
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Fairly familiar.

7580
05:55:42,510 --> 05:55:45,570
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I've heard, um,

7581
05:55:45,570 --> 05:55:47,370
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: uh,

7582
05:55:47,370 --> 05:55:51,350
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: what I know, Your Honour, is that we have already, um,

7583
05:55:51,350 --> 05:55:53,850
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: uh, issued, uh,

7584
05:55:53,850 --> 05:55:57,990
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: or are in the process of, um, crafting a policy on,

7585
05:55:57,990 --> 05:56:04,100
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: on, uh, regulation of, uh, vape products, Your Honour.

7586
05:56:04,100 --> 05:56:06,880
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: ...

7587
05:56:06,880 --> 05:56:13,920
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: ...

7588
05:56:13,920 --> 05:56:19,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'll just give you some very basic statistics, Mr.

7589
05:56:19,080 --> 05:56:21,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Attorney, uh, Tabakin.

7590
05:56:21,620 --> 05:56:26,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Uh, the e-cigarette and vaping prevalence in the country

7591
05:56:26,100 --> 05:56:29,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: among adolescents, uh, aged 10 to 19 years old,

7592
05:56:29,600 --> 05:56:35,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in 2015, it was 0.8%, not even 1%, engaged in vaping.

7593
05:56:35,820 --> 05:56:37,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ...

7594
05:56:37,020 --> 05:56:38,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Not even 1%.

7595
05:56:38,580 --> 05:56:44,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In 2023, the number is staggering, 39.9%.

7596
05:56:44,220 --> 05:56:46,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 40%, basically.

7597
05:56:46,380 --> 05:56:47,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: By 2026, it will be higher.

7598
05:56:47,920 --> 05:56:54,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm not aware that any of our policies have made a significant impact in intervening.

7599
05:56:55,060 --> 05:56:58,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I want to give you a very quick history, Atty. Tabakin.

7600
05:56:58,240 --> 05:57:01,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You can do the research and fill in the gaps.

7601
05:57:02,220 --> 05:57:03,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But it's very simple.

7602
05:57:03,460 --> 05:57:07,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Vaping is the new product of the tobacco industry.

7603
05:57:07,520 --> 05:57:12,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In the 1960s, the tobacco industry used actors in white lab coats

7604
05:57:12,140 --> 05:57:17,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to make it appear that certain kinds of cigarettes, including menthol cigarettes, were healthier.

7605
05:57:17,060 --> 05:57:19,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And they specifically targeted women.

7606
05:57:20,280 --> 05:57:21,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So this is well-documented.

7607
05:57:22,100 --> 05:57:23,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And there are a lot of balls there.

7608
05:57:23,540 --> 05:57:26,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So now that very same playlist is being used for vapes.

7609
05:57:27,560 --> 05:57:33,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In fact, we had to push so hard to ensure that we had policies that prevent doctors

7610
05:57:33,180 --> 05:57:33,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from...

7611
05:57:33,460 --> 05:57:35,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: advocating for vapes.

7612
05:57:35,340 --> 05:57:37,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because the law now that we have, which is a very weakened law,

7613
05:57:38,260 --> 05:57:42,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our syntax law, again, sorry to lecture, but this is my baby.

7614
05:57:42,660 --> 05:57:47,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And 40% of our youth now is vaping.

7615
05:57:49,020 --> 05:57:55,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In the syntax law, which we passed, we said that we lowered the age of access to...

7616
05:57:55,800 --> 05:57:58,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sorry, we increased the age of access to 21 years old.

7617
05:57:58,520 --> 05:57:59,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because the brain is still developing.

7618
05:58:00,180 --> 05:58:02,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So we said, not even 18, we make it 21 years old.

7619
05:58:02,840 --> 05:58:07,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then we made it very clear that the jurisdiction is with the FDA.

7620
05:58:07,800 --> 05:58:09,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And the third is we banned flavors.

7621
05:58:09,680 --> 05:58:14,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because flavors makes it enticing to not just the youth, but even to adults.

7622
05:58:14,440 --> 05:58:17,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So allowed lang doon is menthol and then tobacco flavor.

7623
05:58:17,800 --> 05:58:18,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's it.

7624
05:58:18,880 --> 05:58:21,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Shortly after that, barely a year.

7625
05:58:22,000 --> 05:58:23,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm asking for a year.

7626
05:58:24,880 --> 05:58:31,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So the syntax law was passed in January 22, 2020, because we passed the bill,

7627
05:58:31,200 --> 05:58:32,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but it became a law in January.

7628
05:58:32,840 --> 05:58:37,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then barely a year and a half later,

7629
05:58:37,460 --> 05:58:41,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they passed the vape law that overturned those very important provisions.

7630
05:58:42,320 --> 05:58:43,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did the country see it?

7631
05:58:43,600 --> 05:58:45,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The youth was protected.

7632
05:58:45,280 --> 05:58:47,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Their access was made 21 years old.

7633
05:58:47,260 --> 05:58:48,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They were put under 18.

7634
05:58:48,980 --> 05:58:49,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's embarrassing.

7635
05:58:49,960 --> 05:58:52,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For all the accomplishments, our hardworking diplomats do,

7636
05:58:53,020 --> 05:58:58,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: WHO, they look up to the Philippines because we do so much good work in paper,

7637
05:58:59,280 --> 05:59:01,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in advocacy, and then here we are.

7638
05:59:01,140 --> 05:59:02,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We increased the age.

7639
05:59:02,840 --> 05:59:04,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We lowered the age to 18.

7640
05:59:04,820 --> 05:59:07,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then the jurisdiction was transferred to DTI.

7641
05:59:07,800 --> 05:59:14,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then the flavors, although it is couched in words that appear to be prohibitive of flavors,

7642
05:59:14,440 --> 05:59:18,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but the fact that you open the door, you open it a crack, you open it up,

7643
05:59:18,780 --> 05:59:20,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and now all kinds of flavors are available.

7644
05:59:20,820 --> 05:59:25,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And we try to work with DTI to prevent the sale of these products online,

7645
05:59:25,660 --> 05:59:27,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but they are prevalent online.

7646
05:59:27,400 --> 05:59:28,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, that's the history.

7647
05:59:29,720 --> 05:59:31,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What is the challenge we face now?

7648
05:59:31,820 --> 05:59:32,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DTI will say,

7649
05:59:32,840 --> 05:59:33,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that they have the jurisdiction,

7650
05:59:34,580 --> 05:59:36,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but if you look at the mandate of DTI,

7651
05:59:37,100 --> 05:59:43,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is there anything in DTI's mandate that says that they have any expertise in health?

7652
05:59:44,160 --> 05:59:44,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Any.

7653
05:59:45,340 --> 05:59:46,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There is none.

7654
05:59:47,740 --> 05:59:50,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, the exact wording of the law,

7655
05:59:50,540 --> 05:59:54,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: although to me it's not strong enough because I did not want DTI to have any jurisdiction,

7656
05:59:54,460 --> 05:59:57,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it says that it will work with FDA.

7657
05:59:58,180 --> 05:59:59,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I will read the exact wording to you.

7658
06:00:02,900 --> 06:00:11,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It says, the DTI, in consultation with FDA, shall set technical standards for safety, consistency, and quality of the products requiring registration.

7659
06:00:12,060 --> 06:00:13,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, this is required of FDA.

7660
06:00:13,860 --> 06:00:21,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if you're telling me that you're working on this, just goes to show how strong the tobacco and the vape lobby is in this country.

7661
06:00:21,120 --> 06:00:24,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because 2022 pa na pa sa yan, and then we are still working on this.

7662
06:00:30,350 --> 06:00:32,350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I want everybody to let that sink in.

7663
06:00:32,350 --> 06:00:40,290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Diba, trabaho tayo ng trabaho, papa-increase natin yung support natin through ZBB or whatever.

7664
06:00:41,570 --> 06:00:47,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: This has a pulmonary effect on the health of people, and there are documented cases of people dying.

7665
06:00:49,910 --> 06:00:59,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if you ask me, because the mandate of FDA and DOH is health, you can take a more proactive step.

7666
06:01:00,200 --> 06:01:01,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You can volunteer your services.

7667
06:01:02,080 --> 06:01:03,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because every year, I ask them.

7668
06:01:03,460 --> 06:01:06,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Wala daw silang machine to test the FDA products.

7669
06:01:07,620 --> 06:01:21,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: When this law was being debated, the vape law, which I vehemently oppose because it is a watered-down version of the syntax provisions that we had.

7670
06:01:23,040 --> 06:01:31,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I pointed out that in the U.S., 55,000 flavors were disallowed in 2022.

7671
06:01:31,140 --> 06:01:32,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But guess what?

7672
06:01:32,660 --> 06:01:39,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Nung niresearch ko ulit, because I had another hearing lately, I was so shocked, and I'm asking my staff to pull it out.

7673
06:01:39,220 --> 06:01:39,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was so shocked.

7674
06:01:40,360 --> 06:01:41,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That number like tripled.

7675
06:01:41,820 --> 06:01:48,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Like, hundreds of thousands of flavors in the U.S.A. were disallowed because these are chemicals that are put in the…

7676
06:01:48,240 --> 06:01:50,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung kalaban mo sa sigarilyo, at least alam mo, tobacco.

7677
06:01:50,760 --> 06:01:52,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam mo na yun, yung ill effects ng tobacco.

7678
06:01:52,420 --> 06:01:57,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ito, various chemicals because all the different flavors have different chemicals in it, and so on and so forth.

7679
06:01:57,780 --> 06:02:00,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Dito sa Philippines, tinatanong ko, ilan ang naban natin?

7680
06:02:01,980 --> 06:02:02,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ilan?

7681
06:02:02,660 --> 06:02:03,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Wala.

7682
06:02:06,050 --> 06:02:08,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's where we are, Mr. Chairman.

7683
06:02:09,430 --> 06:02:10,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You have the number and the flavors.

7684
06:02:11,290 --> 06:02:15,070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, I'll just put that on record, but you can easily look it up because I just looked it up.

7685
06:02:15,170 --> 06:02:23,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was shocked that kala ko from 55,000, 60,000, no, it was like hundreds of thousands.

7686
06:02:23,810 --> 06:02:33,890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, and then again, every year and every change of administration, the FDA tells me that they're developing their five-year development plan.

7687
06:02:34,930 --> 06:02:38,750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So this is needed to allow them to access their special fund.

7688
06:02:38,890 --> 06:02:42,090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So do you know the status of this development plan, Attorney Tabakin?

7689
06:02:42,270 --> 06:02:42,810
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Yes, Your Honor.

7690
06:02:42,930 --> 06:02:43,290
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: We voted.

7691
06:02:44,750 --> 06:02:47,750
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Former Director General has already submitted it, Your Honor.

7692
06:02:48,210 --> 06:02:48,890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To DPM?

7693
06:02:49,690 --> 06:02:50,130
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Yes.

7694
06:02:50,370 --> 06:02:50,590
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7695
06:02:50,750 --> 06:02:52,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So do we know the status?

7696
06:02:52,870 --> 06:02:53,590
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Can you follow up?

7697
06:02:53,810 --> 06:02:54,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We will, Your Honor.

7698
06:02:54,890 --> 06:02:58,310
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: We actually pretty much need the budgetary support.

7699
06:02:58,310 --> 06:02:58,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7700
06:02:58,850 --> 06:03:04,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So for the benefit of the public, more for the public, but I'm not sure, Secretary,

7701
06:03:04,930 --> 06:03:11,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we're up to date with this, but more for the public, we found out years ago when I chaired the Committee on Health,

7702
06:03:11,950 --> 06:03:21,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: years, years ago, two decades ago, that for every, what do you call that, inspector?

7703
06:03:21,370 --> 06:03:22,210
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Inspector ba tawag doon?

7704
06:03:22,230 --> 06:03:23,510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What do you call your, inspector ba?

7705
06:03:23,830 --> 06:03:25,530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Those who go around checking the-

7706
06:03:25,530 --> 06:03:26,090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Inspectors.

7707
06:03:26,250 --> 06:03:26,570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Inspectors.

7708
06:03:26,570 --> 06:03:34,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For every inspector that goes around, they're required to check the pharmacies, all the establishments.

7709
06:03:34,930 --> 06:03:38,810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They're required to go around selling, whether it's pharmaceutical or cosmetics and so on and so forth.

7710
06:03:38,990 --> 06:03:42,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's not enough for them to even go back in one year.

7711
06:03:42,190 --> 06:03:46,210
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So if you've been visited this year, you should sell contraband because you might not be able to return it.

7712
06:03:46,370 --> 06:03:49,290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Of course, it's a crime, but that's a problem.

7713
06:03:49,290 --> 06:03:55,690
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And so the issue that we acknowledge was the need for a bigger budget to support this personnel.

7714
06:03:56,370 --> 06:04:03,090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then we were told that a five-year development plan is needed to be able to release the fund.

7715
06:04:03,210 --> 06:04:04,750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I remember there was a director.

7716
06:04:04,930 --> 06:04:09,350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We were at some point, maybe eight years ago, 10 years ago, na nagawa na rin niya to.

7717
06:04:09,490 --> 06:04:15,070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I just don't know kung natapos na yung five years na yon or never na-approve yung five years na yon.

7718
06:04:15,370 --> 06:04:16,370
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hindi ko na masundan.

7719
06:04:16,830 --> 06:04:18,430
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero it's essential.

7720
06:04:18,650 --> 06:04:20,850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, it's already with DBM, Secretary, so you know.

7721
06:04:21,170 --> 06:04:22,810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because you need these people.

7722
06:04:22,810 --> 06:04:31,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because as we support the access to lower medicines, we're also concerned that there would be,

7723
06:04:32,210 --> 06:04:34,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we, of course, would be concerned about the proliferation.

7724
06:04:34,930 --> 06:04:37,750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Of fake medicines, substandard products.

7725
06:04:37,910 --> 06:04:41,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So we want to be sure that fully equipped ng FDA to deal with this.

7726
06:04:42,290 --> 06:04:42,450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7727
06:04:43,790 --> 06:04:45,990
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, if I may respond a bit.

7728
06:04:46,650 --> 06:04:54,330
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: The outgoing DG endorsed to me, and I know there's a five-year plan, which includes the ISSP for their digitalization.

7729
06:04:54,790 --> 06:05:03,190
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And I think they got exemption from the DBM to hire 300 JOs, which I think are new positions that are now being filled up.

7730
06:05:04,930 --> 06:05:23,330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, um, I'll wrap this up with a few more items and then, uh, Secretary, just talk to your staff and President Bev on other concerns so we can maximize your presence.

7731
06:05:23,330 --> 06:05:26,070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You are needed outside of the halls of the Senate.

7732
06:05:26,670 --> 06:05:31,150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Uh, I sponsored the Rheology Act.

7733
06:05:31,710 --> 06:05:33,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I opposed it in the beginning because it was my belief.

7734
06:05:33,770 --> 06:05:34,330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

7735
06:05:34,330 --> 06:05:34,650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

7736
06:05:34,650 --> 06:05:34,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

7737
06:05:34,910 --> 06:05:40,830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I had a belief that before we start a new project, ayusin naman natin yung existing natin.

7738
06:05:40,910 --> 06:05:42,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Our existing is RITM.

7739
06:05:42,490 --> 06:05:43,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where's the head of RITM?

7740
06:05:43,850 --> 06:05:46,190
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Si Director Duran?

7741
06:05:47,250 --> 06:05:47,850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yeah.

7742
06:05:48,030 --> 06:06:03,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So your predecessor, uh, I committed without her even asking na hindi ko susuportan tong virology unless ipromise sakin ng lahat ng taong concerned na they will always provide sufficient financial support to RITM.

7743
06:06:04,400 --> 06:06:11,590
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I, I refuse to make it a relic of the past like, you know, the, the function is so important.

7744
06:06:11,590 --> 06:06:12,990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I'm so disappointed now.

7745
06:06:13,030 --> 06:06:15,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That has a decrease of 20 percent.

7746
06:06:15,470 --> 06:06:16,350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you know what it is?

7747
06:06:16,350 --> 06:06:18,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Cause I don't know what that decrease is.

7748
06:06:18,310 --> 06:06:19,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Would, would you know off the top of your…

7749
06:06:19,910 --> 06:06:22,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Would, would you know off the top of your…

7750
06:06:22,580 --> 06:06:25,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Chair let's recognize Director Duran.

7751
06:06:25,420 --> 06:06:29,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, Director Duran, please answer the query of Senator Gaitan.

7752
06:06:33,970 --> 06:06:36,830
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Good afternoon, Senator Pia.

7753
06:06:37,090 --> 06:06:41,310
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Good afternoon, Director Duran from the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.

7754
06:06:41,690 --> 06:06:48,270
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: We had a decrease in our MOOE and mostly on the Laboratory Research Division Fund.

7755
06:06:48,270 --> 06:06:51,230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Let's take a moment and pause.

7756
06:06:52,550 --> 06:06:53,090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Why?

7757
06:06:53,090 --> 06:06:59,010
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: I think all the hospitals had a decrease in their budget.

7758
06:06:59,150 --> 06:06:59,870
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: On research?

7759
06:07:00,230 --> 06:07:06,970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Really? I thought, Mr. Chairman, that this administration wants us to charge into the future.

7760
06:07:07,150 --> 06:07:08,730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So why did we reduce research?

7761
06:07:10,090 --> 06:07:11,250
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you know why?

7762
06:07:11,910 --> 06:07:21,090
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Senator Pia, I think the decrease in the budget was for all hospitals under the Department of Health,

7763
06:07:21,090 --> 06:07:23,070
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: but not only primarily.

7764
06:07:23,090 --> 06:07:25,830
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: It was primarily for the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.

7765
06:07:25,970 --> 06:07:29,710
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: So it was across the border of all the institutions.

7766
06:07:30,050 --> 06:07:32,830
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: All on research or iba-iba?

7767
06:07:33,190 --> 06:07:34,090
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Iba-iba po.

7768
06:07:34,770 --> 06:07:35,530
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Iba-iba po.

7769
06:07:36,150 --> 06:07:41,790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But Mr. Chairman, they're primarily a research institution, tapos babawasan yung main function.

7770
06:07:41,890 --> 06:07:43,450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Nangyari na nga yung ayoko mangyari.

7771
06:07:43,590 --> 06:07:48,430
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Di isusumpa ako ngayon na ba't ko pa sinuportahan yung virology na yan.

7772
06:07:51,160 --> 06:07:54,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Can you submit to us what your needs are?

7773
06:07:55,200 --> 06:07:56,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What your priorities are?

7774
06:07:56,240 --> 06:08:00,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So if there's something we can do to help with your budget, we will do that.

7775
06:08:00,560 --> 06:08:01,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you very much.

7776
06:08:01,420 --> 06:08:02,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi yung commitment ko stands.

7777
06:08:03,020 --> 06:08:04,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You guys do a good job.

7778
06:08:04,800 --> 06:08:05,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Please let your team know.

7779
06:08:06,500 --> 06:08:10,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We respect what you do and we want to honor that work.

7780
06:08:10,800 --> 06:08:11,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you very much, po.

7781
06:08:11,780 --> 06:08:12,860
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: We're honored, po.

7782
06:08:12,960 --> 06:08:13,460
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Thank you, po.

7783
06:08:13,520 --> 06:08:17,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then, Mr. Chairman, I'll just put on record na lang kasi baka wala tayong time ngayon.

7784
06:08:17,540 --> 06:08:20,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm happy, Mr. Secretary, if you can just give me a report.

7785
06:08:21,480 --> 06:08:24,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Family planning, bumaba ng 11%.

7786
06:08:24,160 --> 06:08:25,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So di ko alam.

7787
06:08:25,160 --> 06:08:27,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam kung yung need has gone down.

7788
06:08:27,400 --> 06:08:28,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung utilization ba, bumaba.

7789
06:08:29,420 --> 06:08:30,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Dagdag ko na rin yung iba.

7790
06:08:30,600 --> 06:08:35,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Health emergency and preparedness, 37% down.

7791
06:08:36,000 --> 06:08:39,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Prevention and control of communicable diseases, 11% down.

7792
06:08:39,840 --> 06:08:45,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then family health, immunization, nutrition, and responsible parenting, 11% down.

7793
06:08:46,080 --> 06:08:50,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So when I used to chair the committee, sometimes naman namu-move around lang naman yung budget.

7794
06:08:50,680 --> 06:08:52,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So it's not a cause for concern.

7795
06:08:52,420 --> 06:08:55,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I don't have access to that right now.

7796
06:08:55,160 --> 06:08:59,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So if you have a quick response on anything, please put it on record.

7797
06:08:59,240 --> 06:09:01,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If you don't, then I don't mind if you just get back to me.

7798
06:09:03,060 --> 06:09:06,400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: We'll just get back to you, Madam Chair.

7799
06:09:06,720 --> 06:09:12,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But yung availability naman ng family planning and reproductive health supplies naman natin remains sa priority pa rin naman, ano?

7800
06:09:13,500 --> 06:09:13,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

7801
06:09:14,120 --> 06:09:15,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So sige, paki ano na lang.

7802
06:09:15,780 --> 06:09:17,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Let's look into the details of that.

7803
06:09:17,840 --> 06:09:19,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then this might be my last point.

7804
06:09:19,980 --> 06:09:22,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But again, just for the hearing.

7805
06:09:22,220 --> 06:09:24,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I do have other things I'd like to bring to your...

7806
06:09:25,160 --> 06:09:26,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ...attention.

7807
06:09:26,940 --> 06:09:28,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Futures Thinking Office.

7808
06:09:28,940 --> 06:09:35,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For 2026, we gave a budget to DOH for the creation of a Futures Thinking Office.

7809
06:09:36,360 --> 06:09:48,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's similar to the budget that we also gave a few other agencies, which we strongly believe should have an office separate from management that is always thinking of the future.

7810
06:09:48,560 --> 06:09:50,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I'm not talking about three months future.

7811
06:09:50,200 --> 06:09:52,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We're talking about the next generation.

7812
06:09:52,820 --> 06:09:53,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Two generations away.

7813
06:09:53,980 --> 06:09:54,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Two generations away.

7814
06:09:54,560 --> 06:10:01,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I shared with the economic team that there are countries that prepare for seven generations ahead.

7815
06:10:01,540 --> 06:10:05,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And here we are, you know, not sure of certain budgets for the next year.

7816
06:10:06,100 --> 06:10:12,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I just want to be sure, Mr. Secretary, since you're new, that you're aware that we have this.

7817
06:10:12,580 --> 06:10:18,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And this budget kasi, when we proposed it, was put in a line item that's like shared with another.

7818
06:10:18,780 --> 06:10:19,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ano yung line item na yun?

7819
06:10:57,560 --> 06:10:58,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I haven't heard any.

7820
06:10:58,700 --> 06:10:59,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I may have missed it.

7821
06:10:59,960 --> 06:11:04,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I haven't heard what the department is doing in terms of AI.

7822
06:11:04,600 --> 06:11:15,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because I happen to have a bit of exposure on health AI systems just because I chair the Committee on Sustainable Development Goals, Innovations, Futures Thinking.

7823
06:11:15,940 --> 06:11:22,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So during the pandemic, we had the opportunity to have as our resource persons via Zoom,

7824
06:11:22,680 --> 06:11:23,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: mga health...

7825
06:11:24,560 --> 06:11:32,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And experts that were focused on what the future technology can provide for us.

7826
06:11:32,940 --> 06:11:35,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's something that your futures office...

7827
06:11:37,060 --> 06:11:38,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Malit lang yung budget na yan.

7828
06:11:38,300 --> 06:11:39,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But that's the whole point.

7829
06:11:39,600 --> 06:11:41,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That they do the research.

7830
06:11:41,700 --> 06:11:43,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They align with...

7831
06:11:43,220 --> 06:11:46,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If they have to bring in experts.

7832
06:11:46,040 --> 06:11:51,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If they have to go out and attend conferences that would expose them to this.

7833
06:11:51,720 --> 06:11:52,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kailangan natin.

7834
06:11:52,320 --> 06:11:52,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi kayo...

7835
06:11:53,440 --> 06:11:53,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You will...

7836
06:11:54,560 --> 06:11:56,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm trying to look for a better word.

7837
06:11:56,760 --> 06:11:58,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because the word that is in my mind.

7838
06:11:58,240 --> 06:12:01,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You will drown with the day-to-day work of DOH.

7839
06:12:01,420 --> 06:12:02,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I don't want you to drown.

7840
06:12:02,980 --> 06:12:11,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I want you to swim like an efficient Olympic swimmer.

7841
06:12:11,840 --> 06:12:12,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Instead of drowning.

7842
06:12:12,840 --> 06:12:20,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's why I want to equip you with the experts or the offices that you need to function, Mr. Secretary.

7843
06:12:23,260 --> 06:12:24,140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, yeah.

7844
06:12:24,200 --> 06:12:25,200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: That's well appreciated.

7845
06:12:25,480 --> 06:12:25,780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And I think...

7846
06:12:25,940 --> 06:12:30,540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: I think we really need to have a separate group really thinking of the future.

7847
06:12:30,880 --> 06:12:32,560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Because we are...

7848
06:12:32,560 --> 06:12:33,640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: We are...

7849
06:12:33,640 --> 06:12:35,440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pabaksin kami on the day-to-day.

7850
06:12:35,820 --> 06:12:37,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And that is the purpose of the futures thinking office.

7851
06:12:38,100 --> 06:12:39,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yun lang yung gagawin niya.

7852
06:12:39,600 --> 06:12:40,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Isipin yung future.

7853
06:12:40,800 --> 06:12:41,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So while you're thinking na,

7854
06:12:42,320 --> 06:12:44,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Eto, I have to deal with leptospirosis.

7855
06:12:44,620 --> 06:12:45,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But somebody is going to tell you,

7856
06:12:46,180 --> 06:12:48,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Secretary, 10 years from now, ito lang.

7857
06:12:48,140 --> 06:12:50,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In fact, 10 years is not even considered futures thinking.

7858
06:12:51,060 --> 06:12:52,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Talagang the next generation.

7859
06:12:52,760 --> 06:12:53,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Two generations away.

7860
06:12:53,820 --> 06:12:55,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's where you make...

7861
06:12:55,940 --> 06:12:58,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Decisions between plastic and organic.

7862
06:12:58,960 --> 06:13:04,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You know, the long-term investments in what we eat, what we put in our mouth, what we put on our skin.

7863
06:13:05,280 --> 06:13:06,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think this is my last concern.

7864
06:13:07,600 --> 06:13:09,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam to ng mga colleagues namin.

7865
06:13:10,160 --> 06:13:12,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero hindi ko pa ito na banggit sa iyo, Secretary.

7866
06:13:14,200 --> 06:13:14,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ah!

7867
06:13:19,390 --> 06:13:26,570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The Senate recently passed the anti-hospital detention bill.

7868
06:13:26,570 --> 06:13:28,050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And a provision is there.

7869
06:13:28,690 --> 06:13:29,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: On my...

7870
06:13:29,490 --> 06:13:33,110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: MyFIP covering the balance with every hospital.

7871
06:13:33,510 --> 06:13:40,970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You may want to look into what is that number for MyFIP to cover that.

7872
06:13:41,130 --> 06:13:44,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because MyFIP is highly controversial.

7873
06:13:45,030 --> 06:13:48,090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Some people want legislators to include it.

7874
06:13:48,190 --> 06:13:50,530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Some people don't want legislators to include it.

7875
06:13:50,890 --> 06:13:52,330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you have to guide us.

7876
06:13:52,390 --> 06:13:54,870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because if that law passes, it passed us.

7877
06:13:54,870 --> 06:13:56,030
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero it's a matter of time.

7878
06:13:56,910 --> 06:13:58,270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think the House has a version.

7879
06:13:59,330 --> 06:13:59,450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yeah.

7880
06:13:59,490 --> 06:14:00,990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So it might become...

7881
06:14:00,990 --> 06:14:01,970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Baka mag-buy-cum lang sila.

7882
06:14:02,050 --> 06:14:04,310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If that provision stays, may impact yan sa inyo.

7883
06:14:04,690 --> 06:14:08,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you'll have to tell us ano yung MyFIP amount na kailangan.

7884
06:14:08,410 --> 06:14:10,250
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi ang hirap nagtatalo kami.

7885
06:14:10,430 --> 06:14:16,630
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tapos meron tayong hindi na consider na pagkukuhaan ng MyFIP na by law.

7886
06:14:17,210 --> 06:14:19,070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pinayagan natin, nilagay doon.

7887
06:14:20,070 --> 06:14:21,290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was an amendment made.

7888
06:14:21,970 --> 06:14:22,930
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So nandun yun.

7889
06:14:23,590 --> 06:14:24,450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Not by me.

7890
06:14:24,630 --> 06:14:27,450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But it's an amendment that passed in the Senate.

7891
06:14:27,670 --> 06:14:27,770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay?

7892
06:14:28,370 --> 06:14:29,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then finally...

7893
06:14:29,490 --> 06:14:30,950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Final point on MyFIP.

7894
06:14:33,990 --> 06:14:36,370
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In a utopian world, walang MyFIP sana.

7895
06:14:36,710 --> 06:14:42,670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So even me as a senator, it's added work for my staff to have to receive these requests

7896
06:14:42,670 --> 06:14:44,170
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then to have to forward it.

7897
06:14:44,410 --> 06:14:45,910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But we try our best to help you.

7898
06:14:46,010 --> 06:14:48,390
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because hindi namin ipo-forward yung mukhang kalukuhan din.

7899
06:14:48,550 --> 06:14:49,730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi ayaw naman natin yan.

7900
06:14:49,890 --> 06:14:53,490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So tinatry din namin ma-filter yun bago ma-recommend sa inyo.

7901
06:14:53,490 --> 06:14:57,530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Well, for the information of the public, which I've said in another venue,

7902
06:14:57,650 --> 06:14:58,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but my colleagues know,

7903
06:14:58,550 --> 06:14:59,550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: me, my brother...

7904
06:15:00,000 --> 06:15:06,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I think all the members of the minority are now, our recommendations are no longer accepted by DOH.

7905
06:15:07,340 --> 06:15:12,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that to me is a very politicized step taken by who, I don't know.

7906
06:15:13,080 --> 06:15:16,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm letting you know because my question is why?

7907
06:15:16,120 --> 06:15:24,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Are the people who go to us and ask for assistance less Filipinos than the other Filipinos who go to a senator who's in the administration?

7908
06:15:24,140 --> 06:15:26,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't even ask them to go to me, but they will go to me.

7909
06:15:26,220 --> 06:15:35,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's why I need to put something in there for you that I've never seen, I've never touched, but I want them to be able to access it.

7910
06:15:35,340 --> 06:15:37,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then now, we can't recommend anymore.

7911
06:15:39,060 --> 06:15:42,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Has anything changed? Has anything changed in our ability to recommend?

7912
06:15:43,260 --> 06:15:52,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't know if I have one or two staff who dedicate their time to help filter that so that we can help them, how to ask for assistance, and if it's not enough, it looks bogus.

7913
06:15:52,020 --> 06:15:55,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We don't recommend it to reduce your burden.

7914
06:15:56,220 --> 06:16:03,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But letting you know that that's what we did because we're in the minority, and I'd like to think it doesn't prevent me from doing my job well.

7915
06:16:04,020 --> 06:16:15,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm here to support the budget of DOH, so I hope you'll also support that because let's not allow our alignments to be politicized.

7916
06:16:15,180 --> 06:16:19,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Did I say anything here that is unfair to the administration?

7917
06:16:19,780 --> 06:16:20,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't think so.

7918
06:16:20,800 --> 06:16:24,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mentioned the policies I'm concerned about regardless of who is sitting there.

7919
06:16:24,420 --> 06:16:26,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't make any personal attacks.

7920
06:16:26,260 --> 06:16:29,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, it's embarrassing for our constituents to ask for help from us.

7921
06:16:30,720 --> 06:16:33,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'm letting you know that that is our situation.

7922
06:16:34,200 --> 06:16:34,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

7923
06:16:35,100 --> 06:16:38,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I do have more, but I will deliver it to you individually.

7924
06:16:38,180 --> 06:16:49,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I wanted to, but my staff told me, Mr. Chairman, that you said, I wanted to give time to the heads of every specialty hospital to do two things.

7925
06:16:50,120 --> 06:16:54,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: One is to monitor their accomplishments for the year.

7926
06:16:54,820 --> 06:16:55,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then,

7927
06:16:56,220 --> 06:17:04,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to tell them what their biggest need is because we tasked them also with developing more specialty centers in the regions.

7928
06:17:04,280 --> 06:17:05,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I wanted to hear from that.

7929
06:17:06,120 --> 06:17:07,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I do have another appointment.

7930
06:17:07,640 --> 06:17:08,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I won't be able to.

7931
06:17:09,000 --> 06:17:20,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If you call on them, I will listen, and I will support with the chairman's consent, of course, priority projects that they have because they've always done a good job.

7932
06:17:20,260 --> 06:17:22,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, thank you, everyone, for all your hard work.

7933
06:17:23,060 --> 06:17:23,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

7934
06:17:23,640 --> 06:17:26,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Senator Pia, probably before you go.

7935
06:17:26,220 --> 06:17:30,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maybe that's a concern for the GOCC specialty hospitals.

7936
06:17:31,840 --> 06:17:35,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: You have subsidy reductions.

7937
06:17:36,440 --> 06:17:48,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Probably, we can ask the four to quickly, the four specialty hospitals that received lower 2027 NEP appropriations than their 2026 levels.

7938
06:17:49,140 --> 06:17:54,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, Lung Center, NKTI, PCMC, and Philippine Heart Center.

7939
06:17:54,240 --> 06:17:54,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay.

7940
06:17:54,740 --> 06:17:55,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So,

7941
06:17:56,220 --> 06:18:14,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maybe, quickly, can we, what services, projects, maybe, I want to ask you, Senator, in case your programs or services, projects, or any support, patient, indigent patient support that will be affected by these lower subsidies, we can probably augment, right?

7942
06:18:15,000 --> 06:18:18,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maybe, we can start with, who can start?

7943
06:18:19,840 --> 06:18:25,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: NKTI, Executive Director, Ose Dante Dator.

7944
06:18:25,420 --> 06:18:26,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sir, you have the floor.

7945
06:18:26,220 --> 06:18:42,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Let us know how much your reduction in subsidy, and then which services will be affected, and what services you need, how much would you need, at least, so that these services and other programs will not be affected.

7946
06:18:43,620 --> 06:18:46,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair, Your Honor, Senator Pia.

7947
06:18:46,560 --> 06:18:47,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Good afternoon.

7948
06:18:48,240 --> 06:18:54,980
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Actually, the subsidy that was given to NKTI for 2027.

7949
06:18:55,560 --> 06:18:56,160
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: If you will look.

7950
06:18:56,220 --> 06:19:03,440
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: At the actual comparison of 2026, 2027, there was an addition, and this was meant for special projects.

7951
06:19:03,440 --> 06:19:25,540
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: And those special projects are currently ongoing, and these are for our expanded outpatient facility building, additional QFS, for increasing number of patients that we are servicing now, with the onset of the zero balance billing that ever since it started, about 11 months ago.

7952
06:19:25,540 --> 06:19:25,560
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: 11 months ago.

7953
06:19:25,560 --> 06:19:35,240
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: We have already given 72,015 patients to the tune of 1.585 billion.

7954
06:19:35,240 --> 06:19:41,400
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: So, that addition in 2026 was not included anymore in 2027.

7955
06:19:41,980 --> 06:19:54,920
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: And therefore, the actual subsidy that will be given to us is enough to cover the remaining QFS for the subsequent year.

7956
06:19:54,920 --> 06:19:54,980
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Okay.

7957
06:19:55,560 --> 06:19:56,000
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: So, that's the first part.

7958
06:19:56,000 --> 06:20:13,760
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: And then, in addition, we were asked to propose additional subsidies, and this will be the major accomplishments or major programs that we intend to finish by the last part of 2027 or early 2028.

7959
06:20:13,760 --> 06:20:25,260
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: And this, for the information of everybody, this was the recently announced legacy building, which will complete the phase four of the 2027.

7960
06:20:25,560 --> 06:20:29,800
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Which is 300 hemodialysis beds, which are now in the phase three.

7961
06:20:29,800 --> 06:20:37,600
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: The phase four request will be the completion, which will be now up to the corporate operating budget of NKTI.

7962
06:20:38,480 --> 06:20:54,680
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Then, we will convert some of our doctor's clinics to the additional 50 to 60 beds to augment our existing bed capacity, which on any day is almost 100 to 110%.

7963
06:20:54,680 --> 06:20:55,120
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Okay.

7964
06:20:55,560 --> 06:21:19,200
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: And in order to bridge the gap, we are actually converting some of our private rooms, splitting them into two or three to be able to accommodate the service or ward accommodation so that we can accommodate those requesting for ZBB, MyEPIP, PhilHealth, and QFS.

7965
06:21:19,200 --> 06:21:31,920
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: So our actual bed capacity, which is 370, if I will make a count after we increase the conversion of our patient rooms, will actually be closer to 400.

7966
06:21:32,520 --> 06:21:41,840
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: And therefore, those are the requests, an additional 300 for our doctor's clinic and conversion of doctor's clinic, another 250 million.

7967
06:21:42,240 --> 06:21:46,980
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: But that is not in the submitted national expenditure program.

7968
06:21:46,980 --> 06:21:48,980
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: So this is...

7969
06:21:49,200 --> 06:21:53,640
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Where the position of the NKTI is for the 2027 budget.

7970
06:21:54,120 --> 06:21:54,920
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Thank you, Your Honor.

7971
06:21:56,340 --> 06:22:00,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, please put that in writing for at least what you mentioned also.

7972
06:22:01,940 --> 06:22:03,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: That you would...

7973
06:22:03,420 --> 06:22:09,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: In order for us to be able to justify, in case we will make the necessary augmentation,

7974
06:22:09,420 --> 06:22:18,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the implementation of zero-balance billing and accommodation for PhilHealth and what else?

7975
06:22:18,820 --> 06:22:19,180
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Addiction.

7976
06:22:19,200 --> 06:22:20,320
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Additional patients for the...

7977
06:22:20,320 --> 06:22:21,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Additional patients.

7978
06:22:21,980 --> 06:22:24,420
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Hemodialysis, which is mostly outpatient.

7979
06:22:25,420 --> 06:22:25,700
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: But...

7980
06:22:25,700 --> 06:22:30,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For the fact, you are always at 110% capacity, right?

7981
06:22:30,300 --> 06:22:34,300
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Sir, that is why it is always said that our emergency room is full.

7982
06:22:34,780 --> 06:22:40,520
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Even without the leptospirosis, for which we have been accommodating all the complicated ones, the severe ones,

7983
06:22:40,880 --> 06:22:44,220
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: 90% of the leptospirosis patient goes to the NKTI.

7984
06:22:44,220 --> 06:22:48,180
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: But on any given day, year in, year out,

7985
06:22:48,180 --> 06:22:53,900
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: majority of the patients in the emergency room are patients who had complications

7986
06:22:53,900 --> 06:23:00,600
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: undergoing hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplant, all across the NCR.

7987
06:23:01,100 --> 06:23:03,000
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: We will put that in writing, Your Honor.

7988
06:23:03,920 --> 06:23:06,320
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: By next week, it will be submitted to your officer.

7989
06:23:06,700 --> 06:23:07,480
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Okay, thank you.

7990
06:23:08,040 --> 06:23:08,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Chairman.

7991
06:23:08,740 --> 06:23:09,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, Mr. Dekitan.

7992
06:23:09,580 --> 06:23:13,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just want to say, because you mentioned the decrease in their budget.

7993
06:23:13,640 --> 06:23:15,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's from NEP to GAAP.

7994
06:23:15,440 --> 06:23:17,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But their NEP to NEP is...

7995
06:23:18,180 --> 06:23:22,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The reason why their GAAP is higher is because we are the ones who paid for it.

7996
06:23:23,520 --> 06:23:24,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You know that.

7997
06:23:24,540 --> 06:23:25,340
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Thank you, Your Honor.

7998
06:23:25,600 --> 06:23:26,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You're welcome.

7999
06:23:27,140 --> 06:23:30,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: NKTI, we increased your budget by 1.9 billion.

8000
06:23:30,220 --> 06:23:31,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hospital services, 1 billion.

8001
06:23:31,960 --> 06:23:34,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Construction of outpatient services, 500 million.

8002
06:23:36,300 --> 06:23:38,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Procurement of linear accelerator, 400 million.

8003
06:23:39,100 --> 06:23:40,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, 1.9.

8004
06:23:40,040 --> 06:23:45,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And all the other specialty hospitals, we did the same for you.

8005
06:23:46,000 --> 06:23:47,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I hope, Mr. Chairman.

8006
06:23:48,180 --> 06:23:54,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We did this this year because last year, I did this with the support of the Chairman of the Committee on Finance.

8007
06:23:55,080 --> 06:23:58,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, for me, even if it's just a little bit, we can give them.

8008
06:23:59,100 --> 06:24:02,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And the 1 billion was...

8009
06:24:03,560 --> 06:24:04,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Oh, yeah.

8010
06:24:04,480 --> 06:24:05,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: All the...

8011
06:24:05,340 --> 06:24:07,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: No, we gave 1 billion for the specialty hospitals.

8012
06:24:08,120 --> 06:24:09,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 1 billion for the specialty hospitals.

8013
06:24:09,500 --> 06:24:09,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yeah.

8014
06:24:10,200 --> 06:24:13,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's ZBB also in the specialty hospitals because we know it's expensive for you.

8015
06:24:14,380 --> 06:24:15,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The services that you're giving.

8016
06:24:16,180 --> 06:24:16,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

8017
06:24:17,300 --> 06:24:17,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maybe.

8018
06:24:17,740 --> 06:24:27,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I just want to say, sir, for those of you who will give requests in order of priority

8019
06:24:27,580 --> 06:24:31,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: because of our very limited fiscal space.

8020
06:24:32,020 --> 06:24:33,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Medyo mababa ang ano natin ngayon, eh,

8021
06:24:33,580 --> 06:24:34,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Fiscal space.

8022
06:24:34,200 --> 06:24:37,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So yun na lang talagang what you can...

8023
06:24:37,560 --> 06:24:47,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yun talagang priority na kailangang-kailangan hanggang doon sa mga puwedeng next year na or that can be held in abeyance.

8024
06:24:47,420 --> 06:24:47,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So yun po,

8025
06:24:47,740 --> 06:25:11,280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: in order of priority lang kasi hindi... We'll do our best, but we cannot promise because of the... talagang ano ngayon, eh. Medyo nakaka-frustrate kasi ang hirap. It's not a good time na lahat. Sarap sana mapondohan natin. Bakit hindi? Health care 'yan, eh. Kaya lang due to our very limited fiscal space this year. So in order of priority.

8026
06:25:11,280 --> 06:25:12,550
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Yes, sir, thank you po.

8027
06:25:12,550 --> 06:25:17,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, next will be from Lung Center of the Philippines, Dr. Benedicto.

8028
06:25:18,980 --> 06:25:21,460
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

8029
06:25:21,860 --> 06:25:23,980
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: On behalf of Lang Center of the Philippines.

8030
06:25:24,220 --> 06:25:30,980
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So, last year, we are quite thankful because you did give us some amount for a locally funded project.

8031
06:25:30,980 --> 06:25:33,340
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And I would like to update this committee as well.

8032
06:25:33,980 --> 06:25:41,080
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: We are able right now to purchase within the quarter our new Linux machine.

8033
06:25:41,260 --> 06:25:46,820
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Our Linux machine serves around 40 to 80 patients per day.

8034
06:25:47,740 --> 06:26:05,540
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So, we hope to have that Linux machine really functional, operational within the quarter.

8035
06:26:06,340 --> 06:26:14,820
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: We will also get our robotics machine because of the locally funded project from the Senate as well.

8036
06:26:14,820 --> 06:26:17,060
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And, of course, aside from that,

8037
06:26:17,060 --> 06:26:26,220
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: we also have biobanking, our instruments and scopes for biopsy, special procedures.

8038
06:26:26,620 --> 06:26:34,240
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: We were able to serve both 35,000 patients, both outpatient and inpatients last year.

8039
06:26:34,940 --> 06:26:38,060
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And then, subsequently, our smoking cessation program.

8040
06:26:38,820 --> 06:26:44,820
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: You were able to fund and really infuse some amount to the tune of 10 million pesos.

8041
06:26:44,820 --> 06:26:47,000
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So, all of that is translated.

8042
06:26:47,060 --> 06:26:55,660
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: To a significant number of both vape and smoking patients who we were able to assist to.

8043
06:26:56,180 --> 06:27:02,380
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So, you mentioned, Rinpo, your honors, that for this year, yes, our gas price has dropped a little.

8044
06:27:03,740 --> 06:27:11,240
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: It was reflected because the 1.02B came from the locally funded projects that we consumed.

8045
06:27:11,240 --> 06:27:16,880
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So, you're right in saying that in terms of gas, it's not going to change much.

8046
06:27:17,060 --> 06:27:24,000
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So, but right now, our main aim is to make our processes more efficient.

8047
06:27:24,000 --> 06:27:31,080
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Last year, we were able to also strengthen our patient navigation system.

8048
06:27:31,360 --> 06:27:39,180
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And therefore, coordinated transfers were made possible as well as using dashboard for all the tracking that's needed.

8049
06:27:39,780 --> 06:27:43,900
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: In terms of priority for this year, we were there to appeal.

8050
06:27:43,900 --> 06:27:46,900
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Na nag-aapela lang kung puwedeng mapagbigyan po yung aming

8051
06:27:47,060 --> 06:27:47,800
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Expansion.

8052
06:27:47,940 --> 06:27:52,600
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Because right now, dahil nasunog po yung Lung Center back in 1998,

8053
06:27:53,240 --> 06:27:58,080
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: so yung 500 plus bed capacity namin naging 237 na lang.

8054
06:27:58,620 --> 06:28:03,300
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And we see it that we really want to augment po yung additional beds,

8055
06:28:04,020 --> 06:28:06,260
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: providing po yung additional services.

8056
06:28:06,260 --> 06:28:16,740
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So nandun po sa aming appeal yung amin pong proposed na three-story building, sana po kung mapagbigyan para po matayo ulit yung kalahati ng Lung Center.

8057
06:28:17,060 --> 06:28:18,340
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Mga 5B po siya, sir.

8058
06:28:18,340 --> 06:28:25,220
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And yes, we will give you po pati po yung nakaakibat pong plans po doon. Thank you.

8059
06:28:25,220 --> 06:28:27,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Response?

8060
06:28:27,780 --> 06:28:28,760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, sir.

8061
06:28:28,760 --> 06:28:41,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Parang medyo nabanggit niyo naman lahat nung na-insert natin for you last year, no? But again, yung ZBB din. Yes. Kasi we want, it is important for this information to

8062
06:28:41,160 --> 06:28:50,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: be coordinated with DOH main so that they know the efficiency of the, and PhilHealth, on the rollout of the ZBB.

8063
06:28:50,240 --> 06:28:50,540
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Yes.

8064
06:28:51,320 --> 06:28:52,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Have somebody

8065
06:28:52,160 --> 06:28:53,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: coordinate with them.

8066
06:28:53,620 --> 06:28:54,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's just you.

8067
06:28:54,240 --> 06:28:54,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's just you.

8068
06:28:54,860 --> 06:28:55,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just wanted to

8069
06:28:55,780 --> 06:28:56,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: put that on record

8070
06:28:56,700 --> 06:28:57,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that all of you

8071
06:28:57,620 --> 06:28:58,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have a ZBB of 1 million.

8072
06:28:59,240 --> 06:29:00,100
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Yes, we were able

8073
06:29:00,100 --> 06:29:00,520
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: to receive.

8074
06:29:00,640 --> 06:29:01,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Almost all of you

8075
06:29:01,580 --> 06:29:02,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: received additional 2B

8076
06:29:02,640 --> 06:29:04,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but you're the biggest

8077
06:29:04,260 --> 06:29:05,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because 2B

8078
06:29:05,780 --> 06:29:06,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: reached you.

8079
06:29:06,520 --> 06:29:07,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 1.9,

8080
06:29:07,680 --> 06:29:08,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 1.85,

8081
06:29:08,880 --> 06:29:09,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2B to you.

8082
06:29:10,120 --> 06:29:10,180
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Yes.

8083
06:29:10,180 --> 06:29:10,960
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Because those

8084
06:29:10,960 --> 06:29:11,760
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: are the specially

8085
06:29:11,760 --> 06:29:12,880
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: funded projects.

8086
06:29:13,380 --> 06:29:14,240
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Thank you, Paul.

8087
06:29:17,780 --> 06:29:18,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, thank you.

8088
06:29:19,460 --> 06:29:20,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And so,

8089
06:29:20,920 --> 06:29:22,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we'll ask later

8090
06:29:22,900 --> 06:29:23,760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: generally.

8091
06:29:24,520 --> 06:29:26,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Next will be

8092
06:29:26,620 --> 06:29:27,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dr. Cece Lagan

8093
06:29:27,800 --> 06:29:29,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: from PCMC.

8094
06:29:29,920 --> 06:29:30,800
PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan: Good afternoon,

8095
06:29:30,940 --> 06:29:31,360
PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan: everyone.

8096
06:29:32,000 --> 06:29:33,100
PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan: So, in 2026,

At the same time, we also have to replace some of our old equipment already. That is a total of 488 million. And for the MITHI, this is for prioritizing our IT structure, so we will be upgrading

8139

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan: we were able to assist 5,600 patients. And from before 2020, 2024, so that was in 2024. I mean,

8145
06:33:48,160 --> 06:33:51,960
PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan: before 2024, our out-of-pocket was around 36%.

8147
06:33:59,460 --> 06:34:08,240
PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan: out-of-pocket for all our indigent patients. And the sources came from our MOOE, which is a 29 to

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan: last year, 37%. That was the insertion that has given to us and the medical assistance of 50%

8149

8191
06:38:53,140 --> 06:38:55,680

8192
06:38:57,580 --> 06:39:03,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We'll try and scrape whatever we can scrape in other agencies

8193
06:39:03,180 --> 06:39:06,040

8217
06:40:32,140 --> 06:40:35,180

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: hindi pa pwedeng bumiyahe,

8221
06:40:45,500 --> 06:40:48,920

8222
06:40:49,020 --> 06:40:52,780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron tayong isinulong rin po na halfway house sa PGH.

06:41:15,920 --> 06:41:19,500
Dr. June Aventura: Ngayon, kasulukuyo ang ginagawa na

8231
06:41:19,500 --> 06:41:22,420
Dr. June Aventura: and ang timetable niya is by the end of the month

8232
06:41:22,420 --> 06:41:27,560
Dr. June Aventura: kasi humingi silang konti extension dahil nga sa ulan.

8233
06:41:28,220 --> 06:41:31,000
Dr. June Aventura: So by the end of the month, matatapos na po daw yung ano

8234
06:41:31,000 --> 06:41:37,220
Dr. June Aventura: and maano na, pwede na nalagyan ng mga aircon

8235
06:41:37,220 --> 06:41:38,220
Dr. June Aventura: at magamit.

8236
06:41:38,840 --> 06:41:45,380
Dr. June Aventura: So yung mga ano naman, yung mga sa ER and ICUs ng mga pasyente,

8237
06:41:45,860 --> 06:41:47,180
Dr. June Aventura: walang aircon nung una.

8238
06:41:47,720 --> 06:41:49,900
Dr. June Aventura: Tapos ngayon, linigyan na rin namin ang aircon

8239
06:41:49,900 --> 06:41:53,380
Dr. June Aventura: dahil kawawa rin sila naghihintay doon sa manilabasan.

8240
06:41:53,800 --> 06:41:56,020
Dr. June Aventura: Pero ngayon, even the OPD,

8241
06:41:56,940 --> 06:42:01,780
Dr. June Aventura: ginawa na namin online yung appointment system.

8242
06:42:02,260 --> 06:42:06,340
Dr. June Aventura: Kaya yung linya hindi na masyadong ganong kahaba as before.

8243
06:42:06,520 --> 06:42:08,280
Dr. June Aventura: Manakakaano na sila, nakakapasok na po.

8244
06:42:08,840 --> 06:42:11,620
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Salamat po.

8250
06:42:27,040 --> 06:42:29,860
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: baka pwede niyong mapacheck po ito.

8251
06:42:30,860 --> 06:42:38,360
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: And then kung meron pa kayong mga hospital na may mga spaces pa,

8252
06:42:38,840 --> 06:42:40,520
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na pwede pong paglagyan,

8253
06:42:40,900 --> 06:42:42,900
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: baka mabigyan niyo rin po ng prioridad

8254
06:42:42,900 --> 06:42:46,420
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: itong mga halfway house natin.

8255
06:42:50,980 --> 06:42:53,640
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Hindi pa ako yung talagang USEC in charge,

06:43:46,100 --> 06:43:47,540
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Gamit na gamit po ito sa kanila.

8274
06:43:48,200 --> 06:43:49,940
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kesa nandyan lang po sa banketa,

8275
06:43:50,040 --> 06:43:52,340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: nag-aantay sa kanilang mga pasyente.

8276
06:43:52,480 --> 06:43:54,580
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kahit pa pano, may mga benches sila na

8277
06:43:54,580 --> 06:43:58,780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: kahit komportable silang makapagpahinga.

8278
06:43:59,360 --> 06:44:01,220
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung iba dyan, galing pa po sa probinsya.

8279
06:44:02,040 --> 06:44:03,480
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: USEC sa kilabon.

8281
06:44:08,160 --> 06:44:10,620
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mahingi na lang po kami ng status report po.

8282
06:44:11,360 --> 06:44:12,000
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Salamat po.

8283
06:44:14,980 --> 06:44:16,260
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yes. Salamat, Mr. Chair.

8284
06:44:16,340 --> 06:44:17,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Senator Bongo.

8285
06:44:18,280 --> 06:44:19,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Salamat sa iyong interventions.

8286
06:44:21,020 --> 06:44:24,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Just a few more questions.

8287
06:44:26,180 --> 06:44:28,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: With regards to zero balance billing,

8288
06:44:28,120 --> 06:44:29,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it was taken up earlier.

8289
06:44:31,240 --> 06:44:32,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But based on your submission,

8290
06:44:32,520 --> 06:44:37,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 3.29 million patients benefited from zero balance billing

8291
06:44:37,300 --> 06:44:39,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: from July 2025 to July 2026.

8292
06:44:40,820 --> 06:44:43,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But I would need these figures

8293
06:44:43,080 --> 06:44:44,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: para I can justify.

8294
06:44:44,980 --> 06:44:47,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I intend to increase

8295
06:44:47,480 --> 06:44:50,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung pong inyong budget for this.

8296
06:44:51,080 --> 06:44:52,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: How much was actually spent?

8297
06:44:52,960 --> 06:44:54,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro kung di man ready,

8298
06:44:55,480 --> 06:44:56,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: if you can submit it to us

8299
06:44:56,780 --> 06:44:58,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that we can justify yung pong increase

8300
06:44:58,640 --> 06:44:59,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that we would.

8301
06:45:00,000 --> 06:45:06,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: proposed how much was actually spent for zero balance billion 2025 and how much has been spent

8302
06:45:06,640 --> 06:45:14,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so far in 2026 we need these figures to determine as i mentioned how much we really need to fund

8303
06:45:14,800 --> 06:45:20,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for 2027 so with the change in its funding structure since the zero balance being is

8304
06:45:20,640 --> 06:45:27,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: now included in the 19 billion subsidy of field health so what should we expect moving forward

8305
06:45:27,040 --> 06:45:33,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and who will ultimately be accountable for delivering zero balance billing doh field

8306
06:45:33,440 --> 06:45:38,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: health or the hospitals so kailangan po natin klaruhin dito para malaman natin yung ng mga

8307
06:45:38,400 --> 06:45:42,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pasyente kung sino responsable kung pagbabayarin ba natin sila ng hospital bills

8308
06:45:48,160 --> 06:45:54,000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: uh yes uh uh mr chair we will pre present those data

8309
06:45:57,260 --> 06:45:58,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yes with i would

8310
06:45:58,380 --> 06:46:01,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: i would need those data so that uh it'll justify nothing you increase

8311
06:46:02,540 --> 06:46:08,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yeah hopefully if there's a need to increase then we will increase the

8312
06:46:09,500 --> 06:46:18,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the the budget for zero balance being for 2027 and then the government released an additional 10.377

8313
06:46:18,780 --> 06:46:25,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: billion in 2026 to support zero balance billing in doh hospitals and selected lgu hospitals

8314
06:46:26,220 --> 06:46:28,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so of every 100 needed to implement

8315
06:46:28,380 --> 06:46:30,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: zero balance but how much is paid by field health

8316
06:46:31,180 --> 06:46:36,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and how much must still be subsidized directly by doh or other government source

8317
06:46:39,500 --> 06:46:45,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro ito yung mga kailangan ho natin, or if you can answer now, okay din. Pero if not, maybe you can submit to us so that we can

8318
06:46:46,540 --> 06:46:48,940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we can use this to justify the increase.

8319
06:46:51,960 --> 06:46:58,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Tapos, Cancer Assistance Fund, please take note of this para during the plenary debates we are prepared.

8320
06:46:58,140 --> 06:47:07,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: how will the department use the expanded cancer assistance fund 3.7 billion in 2027f so that the

8321
06:47:07,220 --> 06:47:13,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: increase produces earlier like doses faster treatment and lower patient spending so

8322
06:47:13,780 --> 06:47:22,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: with this include already cancer meds uh cancer meds chemotherapy and other treatments

8323
06:47:22,120 --> 06:47:28,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: because the public doesn't know that uh we have a cancer assistance fund

8324
06:47:28,220 --> 06:47:34,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: fund, no, na alam niyo naman napakamahal ng cancer treatment, chemo and all. So

8325
06:47:34,980 --> 06:47:45,730
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: siguro yung again, what I requested earlier is more information on this. So this includes

8326
06:47:45,730 --> 06:47:48,390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung chemo, no, and cancer meds

8327
06:47:48,390 --> 06:47:51,830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kasama sa Cancer Assistance Fund. So

8328
06:47:51,830 --> 06:47:53,830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: inform na lang po natin yung public

8329
06:47:53,850 --> 06:47:58,650
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: of these benefits that we have for the Cancer Assistance Fund kasi it has been

8330
06:47:58,650 --> 06:48:00,210
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: increased, no?

8331
06:48:00,210 --> 06:48:19,710
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nasa 3 billion na. I think we started with about a billion [unclear]. So 3.7 billion na po ngayon. Sige, Mercado, let us see mga chemo, cancer meds and others kung ano po yung mga kasama rito and how to avail and which hospitals probably

8332
06:48:19,710 --> 06:48:22,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals.

8333
06:48:22,080 --> 06:48:23,710
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes, Mr. Chair, we will be

8334
06:48:23,710 --> 06:48:30,210
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: present uh we will be providing the data but we also uh requested for an amendment to

8335
06:48:30,210 --> 06:48:38,330
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: also cover uh additional services specifically the nutritionals additional labs and we will

8336
06:48:38,330 --> 06:48:43,730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: based on previous uh so as from the different hospital we will provide the expected

8337
06:48:43,730 --> 06:48:46,470
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: likewise

8338
06:48:46,470 --> 06:48:46,630
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: likewise

8339
06:48:46,630 --> 06:48:49,970
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: a few more points

8340
06:48:49,970 --> 06:48:52,470
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we discussed

8341
06:48:53,710 --> 06:49:01,290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: this in our earlier pre-budget briefing, yung decongesting apex hospitals and upgrading

8342
06:49:01,290 --> 06:49:09,590
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: provincial capacity. Ito siguro yung question ko: which provincial and regional hospitals will receive the most important capacity upgrades in

8343
06:49:09,590 --> 06:49:22,470
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 2027, so patients no longer need to use or go to the apex hospitals for services that can be safely delivered by the provincial or local hospitals, probably

8344
06:49:22,470 --> 06:49:23,450
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: probably

8345
06:49:23,450 --> 06:49:24,690
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magandang gawin natin dito

8346
06:49:24,690 --> 06:49:25,930
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sec Mercado

8347
06:49:25,930 --> 06:49:26,670
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: is to

8348
06:49:26,670 --> 06:49:28,350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: probably have

8349
06:49:28,350 --> 06:49:29,150
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mga

8350
06:49:29,150 --> 06:49:30,930
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: model provinces

8351
06:49:30,930 --> 06:49:31,210
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: no

8352
06:49:31,210 --> 06:49:31,650
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: halimbawa

8353
06:49:31,650 --> 06:49:33,710
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: there are some provinces

8354
06:49:33,710 --> 06:49:34,230
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kasi that

8355
06:49:34,230 --> 06:49:35,530
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: really prioritize

8356
06:49:35,530 --> 06:49:36,070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: healthcare

8357
06:49:36,070 --> 06:49:37,350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kaya maganda yung kanilang

8358
06:49:37,350 --> 06:49:38,970
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: healthcare system

8359
06:49:38,970 --> 06:49:39,630
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so parang

8360
06:49:39,630 --> 06:49:40,570
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: konting tweak na lang

8361
06:49:40,570 --> 06:49:41,870
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: konting support na lang

8362
06:49:41,870 --> 06:49:43,450
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magandang tulungan

8363
06:49:43,450 --> 06:49:44,010
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: like of course

8364
06:49:44,010 --> 06:49:45,070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Quezon for example

8365
06:49:45,070 --> 06:49:45,770
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: because of

8366
06:49:45,770 --> 06:49:48,150
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Congresswoman

8367
06:49:48,150 --> 06:49:50,270
