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.

asr-000034
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.

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.

asr-000036
00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:07.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I have never denied my bias towards healthcare.

asr-000037
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.

asr-000038
00:14:15.820 --> 00:14:17.100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But it can only do so...

asr-000039
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: If it is sufficiently funded and properly implemented.

asr-000040
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.

asr-000041
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.

asr-000042
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.

asr-000043
00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:47.040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dr. Beverly Ho was one of the assistants.

asr-000044
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.

asr-000045
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...

asr-000046
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.

asr-000047
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

asr-000048
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.

asr-000049
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

asr-000050
00:15:39.300 --> 00:15:42.720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: who are really pro-universal health care.

asr-000051
00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:46.740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ngayon tayo na ang chair ng Senate Committee on Finance.

asr-000052
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,

asr-000053
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kundi ang mas accessible na serbisyong pangkalusugan

asr-000054
00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:56.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at mas mababang medical out-of-pocket expense.

asr-000055
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

asr-000056
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:08.520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: rather than relying predominantly on hospital-based treatment.

asr-000057
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,

asr-000058
00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:17.820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kasabay ang pagpapaayos ng ating mga provincial hospitals,

asr-000059
00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:22.020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: medical equipment at health workforce.

asr-000060
00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:26.220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ngayon po ay napaganda natin through the years

asr-000061
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

asr-000062
00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:34.420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na inilagay ng Senado.

asr-000063
00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:39.620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Gusto rin nating makita ang mas malakas na PhilHealth,

asr-000064
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.

asr-000065
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,

asr-000066
00:16:51.060 --> 00:16:54.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: upang mapababa ang out-of-pocket expense ng bawat pasyente.

asr-000067
00:16:56.220 --> 00:17:00.060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nagpahayag po tayo na ngayong 2027,

asr-000068
00:17:00.060 --> 00:17:04.660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: gusto natin mabigyang prayoridad ang health care ng bawat Pilipino.

asr-000069
00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:07.020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Iyon po ang ating ipaglalaban.

asr-000070
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.

asr-000071
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

asr-000072
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: they need without financial hardship.

asr-000073
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,

asr-000074
00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:28.740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: truly brings us closer to that promise,

asr-000075
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.

asr-000076
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,

asr-000077
00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:40.820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: clear timelines, and clear accountability.

asr-000078
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

asr-000079
00:17:44.020 --> 00:17:46.780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: should concretely expect from this budget,

asr-000080
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,

asr-000081
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.

asr-000082
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

asr-000083
00:18:04.820 --> 00:18:06.340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: utmost priority.

asr-000084
00:18:06.340 --> 00:18:08.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At ito po yung talagang ramdam ng taong bayan,

00:18:08.540 --> 00:18:10.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na kahit ano pang problema,

00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ano pang mga hamon,

asr-000087
00:18:12.300 --> 00:18:15.580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: whatever challenges that our country is facing,

asr-000088
00:18:15.580 --> 00:18:18.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: as long as our countrymen,

asr-000089
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: as long as the Filipinos,

asr-000090
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

asr-000091
00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:25.740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kanilang oras sa pangangailangan,

asr-000092
00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:29.200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: lalo na sa pagkakasakit, ay malaking bagay po yun.

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya maraming maraming salamat po.

asr-000095
00:18:37.520 --> 00:18:40.720

asr-000096
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:43.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Panfilo Lacson first to give his statement.

asr-000097
00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:46.720
Senator Panfilo Lacson: None from this representation, Mr. Chairman.

asr-000098
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:48.520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Tulfo.

asr-000099
00:18:50.970 --> 00:18:52.390
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

asr-000100
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,

asr-000101
00:19:01.810 --> 00:19:07.370
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: lagi ko pong kini-kwestiyon bakit walang palya

asr-000102
00:19:07.370 --> 00:19:11.830
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: nagkakaroon ng mga gamot na nag-expire.

asr-000103
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.

asr-000104
00:19:19.570 --> 00:19:21.250
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ba't nangyayari ito?

asr-000105
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.

asr-000106
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

asr-000107
00:19:32.150 --> 00:19:34.530
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: yung mga gamot na they deserve.

asr-000108
00:19:35.950 --> 00:19:38.590
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At ang palaging sinasabi ng DOH,

asr-000109
00:19:40.290 --> 00:19:45.130
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ito raw ay nagkakaroon sila ng konting oversight, ang reason.

asr-000110
00:19:46.310 --> 00:19:47.330
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And then number two,

asr-000111
00:19:47.830 --> 00:19:50.190
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: yung gamot daw na nag-expire,

asr-000112
00:19:50.190 --> 00:19:52.050
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: sinusoli naman daw sa mga supplier.

asr-000113
00:19:53.270 --> 00:19:55.470
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At yung mga supplier, pinapalitan.

00:20:11.150 --> 00:20:13.990
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: May ebidensya ako na yung mga gamot na yun ay binabaon.

00:41:25.630 --> 00:41:26.160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po.

asr-000702-split-4
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.

asr-000703
00:41:36.860 --> 00:41:38.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Unified na ang program.

asr-000704
00:41:39.120 --> 00:41:40.940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, any agencies pa?

asr-000705
00:41:41.140 --> 00:41:43.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So we can probably start already, no?

asr-000706
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.

asr-000707
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?

asr-000708
00:41:55.720 --> 00:42:00.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll waive my seniority in rank.

asr-000709
00:42:01.100 --> 00:42:03.660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Lacson, may now ask the questions.

asr-000710
00:42:04.040 --> 00:42:07.040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and good morning to the DOH family.

asr-000711
00:42:08.020 --> 00:42:10.900
Senator Panfilo Lacson: And congratulations kay Secretary Mercado.

asr-000712
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.

asr-000713
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.

asr-000714
00:42:28.020 --> 00:42:31.020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: You have championed this law.

asr-000715
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.

asr-000716
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.

asr-000717
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?

asr-000718
00:42:59.380 --> 00:43:01.080
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi po, pupunta namin.

asr-000719
00:43:01.100 --> 00:43:02.560
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Medium, babalik tayo ng low.

asr-000720
00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:05.220
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Hanggang ngayon, wala pa po tayo doon sa high.

asr-000721
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,

asr-000722
00:43:15.020 --> 00:43:19.020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: dapat nasa high-end na tayo, ang coverage, lahat na.

asr-000723
00:43:19.340 --> 00:43:20.540
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So nasaan po tayo ngayon?

asr-000724
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:23.700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-000725
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Medyo noong po no-launch, nagkaroon po ng, hindi inaasahang COVID.

asr-000726
00:43:31.100 --> 00:43:34.080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya po, medyo na-delay yung ating implementation.

asr-000727
00:43:35.240 --> 00:43:37.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Medyo na-pushback ng two to even three years.

asr-000728
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.

asr-000729
00:43:43.060 --> 00:43:45.580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi immediate eligibility na po lahat ng Pilipino.

asr-000730
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.

asr-000731
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.

asr-000732
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi hindi pa rin po equal yung presence ng mga...

asr-000733
00:44:01.100 --> 00:44:05.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: accredited health facilities ng PhilHealth na magbigay.

asr-000734
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.

asr-000735
00:44:10.560 --> 00:44:11.980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero wala pong mga capabilities.

asr-000736
00:44:12.240 --> 00:44:17.280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Open heart surgery, renal transplant, at mga matataas pa pong mga procedures

asr-000737
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:21.000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng covered ng Z-package ng PhilHealth.

asr-000738
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.

asr-000739
00:44:26.340 --> 00:44:30.520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi supposedly po, dahil with the devolved nature of our UHC law,

asr-000740
00:44:30.520 --> 00:44:37.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay natuturoan na po sila how to run their local health systems.

asr-000741
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:39.520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: May maturity grading po tayo.

asr-000742
00:44:39.780 --> 00:44:42.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Almost 110 na naman pong probinsya.

asr-000743
00:44:42.620 --> 00:44:46.040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang talagang 110 provinces na nga po.

asr-000744
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang medyo nag-re-reach na po ng maturity.

asr-000745
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

asr-000746
00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:59.680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para mapagplanuhan po na mas mabuti ng ating local chief executive.

asr-000747
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.

asr-000748
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.

asr-000749
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.

asr-000750
00:45:39.160 --> 00:45:42.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So in short po, hindi pa po natin na-achieve.

asr-000751
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.

asr-000752
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.

asr-000753
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:15.840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para talagang ma-achieve po yung universal healthcare.

asr-000754
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:17.720
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Thank you, Secretary.

asr-000755
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.

asr-000756
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.

asr-000757
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?

asr-000758
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.

asr-000759
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.

asr-000760
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,

asr-000761
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.

asr-000762
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%.

asr-000763
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.

asr-000764
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.

asr-000765
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%.

asr-000766
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.

asr-000767
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.

asr-000768
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:18.700
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So 2025 at 41%.

asr-000769
00:48:18.700 --> 00:48:19.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2022.

asr-000770
00:48:19.200 --> 00:48:21.560
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2028 at 37%.

asr-000771
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,

asr-000772
00:48:27.700 --> 00:48:34.180
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: that amount should be at around 639 billion.

asr-000773
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.

asr-000774
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.

asr-000775
00:48:44.040 --> 00:48:44.320
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Thank you.

asr-000776
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:44.580
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Thank you.

asr-000777
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:48.340
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pakibalik lang yung table doon sa CHE.

asr-000778
00:48:48.340 --> 00:48:51.040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Current health expenditure kanina.

asr-000779
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.

asr-000780
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:02.320
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Nasa 41.2%.

asr-000781
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:05.860
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Dati po ba, ilang percent ito?

asr-000782
00:49:06.640 --> 00:49:09.360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Sir, 10 years ago, this was at 55%.

asr-000783
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:09.560
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 55.

asr-000784
00:49:10.540 --> 00:49:12.560
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero ako gusto ko lang ma-educate.

asr-000785
00:49:12.560 --> 00:49:17.700
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi pag sinabi natin government schemes and compulsory contributory health care,

asr-000786
00:49:17.700 --> 00:49:21.040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: financing schemes at 46%,

asr-000787
00:49:21.040 --> 00:49:23.940
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ano po ba ito?

asr-000788
00:49:24.240 --> 00:49:29.100
Senator Panfilo Lacson: What would constitute itong schemes na ito?

asr-000789
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.

asr-000790
00:49:35.240 --> 00:49:39.580
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasama na rito yung mga earmark na naka-incorporate sa GAA.

asr-000791
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:43.580
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi doon sa latest Supreme Court ruling,

asr-000792
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:47.680
Senator Panfilo Lacson: while naka-earmark ito sa Department of Health,

asr-000793
00:49:47.700 --> 00:49:51.780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: hindi naman ito actually, pero nasa GAA yan, nakapasok.

asr-000794
00:49:52.020 --> 00:49:55.040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So kasama rin ito dito sa 805 billion.

asr-000795
00:49:55.640 --> 00:49:56.400
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Lahat-lahat yan.

asr-000796
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:02.260
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Including the National Expenditure Program na naging GAA.

asr-000797
00:50:03.020 --> 00:50:06.220
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So sa tingin ko po, hindi masyadong, sa akin lang,

asr-000798
00:50:06.520 --> 00:50:09.340
Senator Panfilo Lacson: yung misleading may be a wrong word,

asr-000799
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.

asr-000800
00:50:14.980 --> 00:50:16.780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Parang, okay.

asr-000801
00:50:17.700 --> 00:50:24.020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 46.5%, pero ito yung contributory health care financing schemes ng gobyerno.

asr-000802
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:30.280
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero masyadong bloated, ikanga, kasi kasama na dyan yung PS.

asr-000803
00:50:31.040 --> 00:50:31.940
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Lahat-lahat eh, di ba?

asr-000804
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,

asr-000805
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:43.720
Senator Panfilo Lacson: pagka nilimit lang natin sa health care program,

asr-000806
00:50:44.080 --> 00:50:45.800
Senator Panfilo Lacson: lilit yung 46.5.

asr-000807
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:46.960
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Hindi po ba?

asr-000808
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.

asr-000809
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:54.140
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ito yung masakit eh.

asr-000810
00:50:54.680 --> 00:50:56.360
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ito yung target ng UHC.

asr-000811
00:50:57.060 --> 00:50:59.920
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung out-of-pocket talaga, halos, huwag naman masiro.

asr-000812
00:51:00.120 --> 00:51:02.040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Palagay ko, hindi natin kaya in our lifetime.

asr-000813
00:51:02.460 --> 00:51:06.140
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero medyo mataas pa yung 41.2%.

asr-000814
00:51:06.140 --> 00:51:10.300
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung voluntary health care payment schemes, partly government din ito eh.

asr-000815
00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:14.400
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Like in the Senate, meron kaming Kaiser, government funds din eh.

asr-000816
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:15.960
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yung pambayad ng premium.

asr-000817
00:51:16.580 --> 00:51:17.520
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ang siguro,

asr-000818
00:51:17.700 --> 00:51:20.900
Senator Panfilo Lacson: papupuwera lang dito yung mga corporations, private corporations,

asr-000819
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.

asr-000820
00:51:27.780 --> 00:51:28.940
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, yun.

asr-000821
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:35.820
Senator Panfilo Lacson: I'd like to think na hindi, in practical terms,

asr-000822
00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:40.360
Senator Panfilo Lacson: hindi ito talagang ganung ka-accurate, yung 46.5.

asr-000823
00:51:40.740 --> 00:51:41.080
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Now,

asr-000824
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:46.320
Senator Panfilo Lacson: anyway, yung mga earmarks, ano,

asr-000825
00:51:46.740 --> 00:51:47.680
Senator Panfilo Lacson: marami tayong mga,

asr-000826
00:51:47.700 --> 00:51:48.920
Senator Panfilo Lacson: mga specials na naipasa.

asr-000827
00:51:49.780 --> 00:51:53.000
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Gusto ko lang pong makakita ng medyo accurate, no?

asr-000828
00:51:53.140 --> 00:51:55.900
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Maski mga ballpark lang, hindi naman talaga detalyado.

asr-000829
00:51:56.320 --> 00:52:00.640
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Accounting ng mga funding source para sa UHC.

asr-000830
00:52:01.180 --> 00:52:02.540
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Like, for example, ano,

asr-000831
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:06.020
Senator Panfilo Lacson: yung total incremental sin tax collection,

asr-000832
00:52:06.680 --> 00:52:10.360
Senator Panfilo Lacson: RA 10351, 2012 pa ito.

asr-000833
00:52:10.860 --> 00:52:14.880
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Tapos inamento ng tobacco tax law 2019, and so forth.

asr-000834
00:52:15.380 --> 00:52:17.680
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 50% nung national government,

asr-000835
00:52:17.700 --> 00:52:20.460
Senator Panfilo Lacson: government share from the income ng PAGCOR,

asr-000836
00:52:20.980 --> 00:52:22.780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: dyan din, naka-earmark din sa UHC.

asr-000837
00:52:23.460 --> 00:52:24.600
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, meron po ba tayo?

asr-000838
00:52:24.700 --> 00:52:28.040
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Para lang magkaroon kami ng idea, kasi we're talking of the budget,

asr-000839
00:52:28.260 --> 00:52:30.120
Senator Panfilo Lacson: and these are, you know,

asr-000840
00:52:30.780 --> 00:52:34.060
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ang source nito talaga hindi naman revenues ng government,

asr-000841
00:52:34.520 --> 00:52:36.460
Senator Panfilo Lacson: kundi earmarks ito,

asr-000842
00:52:37.060 --> 00:52:40.780
Senator Panfilo Lacson: plus galing sa GOCC like PAGCOR, PCSO,

asr-000843
00:52:41.520 --> 00:52:43.000
Senator Panfilo Lacson: and so forth and so on.

asr-000844
00:52:43.380 --> 00:52:44.880
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, meron po ba tayo yung ano nito?

asr-000845
00:52:45.680 --> 00:52:46.860
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Konting detalya lang.

asr-000846
00:52:53.910 --> 00:52:57.950
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Share for PAGCOR and PCSO,

asr-000847
00:52:58.550 --> 00:53:01.430
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: based on our records,

asr-000848
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

asr-000849
00:53:07.250 --> 00:53:10.610
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: up to Q2 of 2026 should be

asr-000850
00:53:10.610 --> 00:53:14.550
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: P127.55 billion po.

asr-000851
00:53:15.830 --> 00:53:16.930
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 2019 to?

asr-000852
00:53:17.350 --> 00:53:18.330
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2026.

asr-000853
00:53:18.490 --> 00:53:19.190
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 2026.

asr-000854
00:53:19.590 --> 00:53:19.870
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Opo.

asr-000855
00:53:19.870 --> 00:53:23.090
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then there was appropriation in,

asr-000856
00:53:23.910 --> 00:53:27.430
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fiscal year 2023 GAA of 21 billion,

asr-000857
00:53:28.070 --> 00:53:32.410
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and fiscal year 2024 GAA of 21 billion.

asr-000858
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.

asr-000859
00:53:36.710 --> 00:53:39.050
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yeah, ang problema is naka-earmark,

asr-000860
00:53:39.990 --> 00:53:42.190
Senator Panfilo Lacson: nare-release ba talaga yung total amount na naka-earmark?

asr-000861
00:53:42.250 --> 00:53:43.450
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yun ang problema natin.

asr-000862
00:53:44.350 --> 00:53:47.010
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi on paper, magandang pakinggan yung,

asr-000863
00:53:47.590 --> 00:53:49.470
Senator Panfilo Lacson: eto yung 50% component

asr-000864
00:53:49.470 --> 00:53:53.690
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ng national government share, ano, from PAGCOR.

asr-000865
00:53:53.910 --> 00:53:57.710
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero yung, in real terms, yung nominal figure

asr-000866
00:53:57.710 --> 00:54:00.850
Senator Panfilo Lacson: ng 50% ng share ng government,

asr-000867
00:54:01.810 --> 00:54:03.550
Senator Panfilo Lacson: eh, dapat mapunta sa PAGCOR.

asr-000868
00:54:04.010 --> 00:54:06.070
Senator Panfilo Lacson: 50% ba talaga napunta sa PAGCOR?

asr-000869
00:54:06.230 --> 00:54:09.730
Senator Panfilo Lacson: I mean, sorry, sa DOH or sa universal healthcare.

asr-000870
00:54:10.770 --> 00:54:11.610
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ano yung gap?

asr-000871
00:54:11.910 --> 00:54:15.430
Senator Panfilo Lacson: From all these special laws na naipasa,

asr-000872
00:54:15.870 --> 00:54:17.470
Senator Panfilo Lacson: na naka-earmark dapat sa DOH.

asr-000873
00:54:17.570 --> 00:54:19.610
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Of course, you understand na ito,

asr-000874
00:54:19.670 --> 00:54:21.670
Senator Panfilo Lacson: sa buong GAA ito pinapasok, hindi ba?

asr-000875
00:54:21.670 --> 00:54:23.830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: And you're dependent,

asr-000876
00:54:23.830 --> 00:54:25.210
Senator Panfilo Lacson: you're dependent on the DBM.

asr-000877
00:54:26.030 --> 00:54:29.250
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kung magkano yung maibibigay lang para sa UHC?

asr-000878
00:54:29.850 --> 00:54:31.830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Actually, Senator Lacson, with your indulgence,

asr-000879
00:54:31.950 --> 00:54:35.290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we asked this also during the DBCC.

asr-000880
00:54:36.230 --> 00:54:37.910
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung po mga earmarked funds,

asr-000881
00:54:38.110 --> 00:54:41.050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: please give us also your own record

asr-000882
00:54:41.050 --> 00:54:42.290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that we can reconcile.

asr-000883
00:54:42.870 --> 00:54:44.730
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi may mga, alam ko,

asr-000884
00:54:45.030 --> 00:54:47.750
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mataas yung receivable, supposedly,

asr-000885
00:54:48.470 --> 00:54:51.510
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ng PhilHealth for the implementation of UHC.

asr-000886
00:54:51.510 --> 00:54:53.290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For some reason,

asr-000887
00:54:53.830 --> 00:54:57.590
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: parin nila sinasagot bakit hindi nire-remit yung buo

asr-000888
00:54:57.590 --> 00:54:59.950
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: dahil these are earmarked funds, no?

asr-000889
00:55:00.410 --> 00:55:02.050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And they cannot use this for any purpose.

asr-000890
00:55:02.190 --> 00:55:02.410
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro,

asr-000891
00:55:03.190 --> 00:55:05.890
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doc Bev,

asr-000892
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

asr-000893
00:55:08.450 --> 00:55:09.350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that we can reconcile

asr-000894
00:55:09.350 --> 00:55:13.310
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and probably pag bumalik yun sa DOF or DBM,

asr-000895
00:55:13.470 --> 00:55:16.350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we can reconcile.

asr-000896
00:55:16.950 --> 00:55:18.570
Senator Panfilo Lacson: This is where we can help you, no?

asr-000897
00:55:19.250 --> 00:55:20.830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi ito yung oversight namin eh.

asr-000898
00:55:20.830 --> 00:55:22.830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kung hindi nagko-comply yung DBM,

asr-000899
00:55:23.830 --> 00:55:25.510
Senator Panfilo Lacson: kasi covered ng batas,

asr-000900
00:55:25.710 --> 00:55:28.270
Senator Panfilo Lacson: earmarked para sa DOH, para sa UHC,

asr-000901
00:55:28.630 --> 00:55:30.130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: tapos hindi naman binibigay sa inyo.

asr-000902
00:55:30.730 --> 00:55:34.130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: This is where our oversight function comes in or kicks in.

asr-000903
00:55:34.750 --> 00:55:37.030
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, yun lang muna, Mr. Chairman,

asr-000904
00:55:37.190 --> 00:55:38.830
Senator Panfilo Lacson: para we can give...

asr-000905
00:55:39.770 --> 00:55:42.290
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Malamig na ba ulo mo, Senator Raffy?

asr-000906
00:55:43.690 --> 00:55:45.670
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ipapasa ko na sa inyo yung...

asr-000907
00:55:45.670 --> 00:55:46.510
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Medyo malamig na.

asr-000908
00:55:46.630 --> 00:55:47.810
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Sige, kayo na po.

asr-000909
00:55:48.290 --> 00:55:48.810
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ano, no,

asr-000910
00:55:48.970 --> 00:55:50.450
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, thank you, Senator Lacson,

asr-000911
00:55:50.510 --> 00:55:52.430
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for bringing this up.

asr-000912
00:55:52.430 --> 00:55:53.630
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, we'll wait for that.

asr-000913
00:55:53.630 --> 00:55:55.930
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Para at least we will have the...

asr-000914
00:55:55.930 --> 00:55:58.430
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because, ano eh, this would have been used, no?

asr-000915
00:55:58.590 --> 00:56:02.810
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For the benefit, para sa mga beneficiaries

asr-000916
00:56:02.810 --> 00:56:05.690
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and the improvement of the packages, no?

asr-000917
00:56:06.810 --> 00:56:09.330
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And again, I'd like to reiterate that

asr-000918
00:56:09.330 --> 00:56:10.530
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: these are earmarked funds

asr-000919
00:56:10.530 --> 00:56:11.830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and these are really intended

asr-000920
00:56:11.830 --> 00:56:14.830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for the use of PhilHealth

asr-000921
00:56:14.830 --> 00:56:17.050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and implementation of UHC.

asr-000922
00:56:17.150 --> 00:56:18.550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, siguro, we'll just wait for that.

asr-000923
00:56:18.970 --> 00:56:21.230
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Tulfo, you may now have the floor.

asr-000924
00:56:21.230 --> 00:56:22.070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

asr-000925
00:56:22.830 --> 00:56:23.530
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Thank you.

asr-000926
00:56:23.630 --> 00:56:23.970
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Thank you, Sen. Ping.

asr-000927
00:56:24.210 --> 00:56:26.390
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And thank you, Sen. JV.

asr-000928
00:56:27.270 --> 00:56:29.530
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tulad ng sinabi kanina, time and time again,

asr-000929
00:56:29.630 --> 00:56:32.470
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: every year, sa budget season tulad nito,

asr-000930
00:56:33.110 --> 00:56:35.890
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: lagi kong tinatanong yung mga gamot na nag-expire.

asr-000931
00:56:37.250 --> 00:56:39.790
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At ang palaging sinasagot po sa atin,

asr-000932
00:56:40.470 --> 00:56:41.690
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: oversight to yun,

asr-000933
00:56:42.390 --> 00:56:44.310
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: and then sinusolido yung gamot

asr-000934
00:56:44.310 --> 00:56:47.810
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: at pinapalitan ng bago.

asr-000935
00:56:48.410 --> 00:56:50.510
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yun po ay pawang kasinungalingan

asr-000936
00:56:50.510 --> 00:56:53.510
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: dahil meron po akong proof na binabaon.

asr-000937
00:56:53.630 --> 00:56:55.430
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: In fact, diyan pinabaon palagi sa TALA.

asr-000938
00:56:55.530 --> 00:56:56.970
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Pakita nyo nga, ano, ComSec.

asr-000939
00:56:58.750 --> 00:56:59.810
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: It's a hospital.

asr-000940
00:57:00.130 --> 00:57:00.650
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Anong hospital?

asr-000941
00:57:03.950 --> 00:57:06.050
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kanyan, o, pinabaon niyang mga gamot

asr-000942
00:57:06.050 --> 00:57:07.910
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: by the hundreds of millions.

asr-000943
00:57:09.190 --> 00:57:09.630
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yan, o.

asr-000944
00:57:10.410 --> 00:57:12.690
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At meron pa nga kayong disposal committee na binoo.

asr-000945
00:57:13.570 --> 00:57:15.790
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So, bakit tayo nagsisinungaling sa taong bayan?

asr-000946
00:57:17.250 --> 00:57:20.750
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napakarami mga kababayan nating mahihirap

asr-000947
00:57:20.750 --> 00:57:22.110
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: na nakakamatay,

asr-000948
00:57:22.110 --> 00:57:24.130
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: hindi nakating sa kanilang mga gamot na dapat,

asr-000949
00:57:24.330 --> 00:57:24.910
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: mga maintenance,

asr-000950
00:57:25.870 --> 00:57:27.090
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: biotics, et cetera.

asr-000951
00:57:28.190 --> 00:57:28.810
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: E tapos,

asr-000952
00:57:29.590 --> 00:57:29.950
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ito,

asr-000953
00:57:30.770 --> 00:57:31.890
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: binabaon.

asr-000954
00:57:32.570 --> 00:57:32.890
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Why?

asr-000955
00:57:33.610 --> 00:57:34.210
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kasi nga,

asr-000956
00:57:34.850 --> 00:57:35.410
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: anong nangyari,

asr-000957
00:57:35.550 --> 00:57:36.450
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: bumibili kayo

asr-000958
00:57:36.450 --> 00:57:38.410
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ng pinapaboran

asr-000959
00:57:38.410 --> 00:57:40.030
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: na supplier

asr-000960
00:57:40.030 --> 00:57:41.590
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: na mag-expire na.

asr-000961
00:57:42.070 --> 00:57:43.110
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kaya, murang-mura.

asr-000962
00:57:43.630 --> 00:57:44.190
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And of course,

asr-000963
00:57:44.390 --> 00:57:45.430
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: magkakaroon ng kickback.

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Why?

asr-001000
00:58:42.230 --> 00:58:43.330
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat po may managot,

00:59:35.500 --> 00:59:36.840
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Mag-umpisa ko kasi yan,

asr-001032
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:37.420
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: doon sa

asr-001033
00:59:37.420 --> 00:59:40.120
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: planning and forecasting

asr-001034
00:59:40.120 --> 00:59:41.240
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: from our

asr-001035
00:59:41.240 --> 00:59:43.060
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: mga program managers,

asr-001036
00:59:43.500 --> 00:59:44.140
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: and then,

asr-001037
00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:45.400
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: doon sa procurement,

asr-001038
00:59:45.980 --> 00:59:46.580
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: tapos yung sa

asr-001039
00:59:46.580 --> 00:59:48.780
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: supply chain and delivery.

asr-001040
00:59:49.340 --> 00:59:49.520
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: So,

asr-001041
00:59:50.100 --> 00:59:51.240
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: kung ano ho yung ating

asr-001042
00:59:51.240 --> 00:59:51.880
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: bibilhin

asr-001043
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:53.300
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: ng mga commodities,

asr-001044
00:59:53.900 --> 00:59:54.080
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: eh,

asr-001045
00:59:54.180 --> 00:59:55.600
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: ang mga program managers po,

asr-001046
00:59:55.660 --> 00:59:56.460
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: nagpa-plano yun,

asr-001047
00:59:56.740 --> 00:59:58.300
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: meron pong forecasting po yan,

asr-001048
00:59:58.540 --> 00:59:59.500
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: may formula po.

asr-001049
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.

asr-001050
01:00:07.220 --> 01:00:08.460
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Okay, so meron po yan.

asr-001051
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.

asr-001052
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:18.240
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: But then, kung halimbawa, nagkaroon ng delay sa procurement,

asr-001053
01:00:18.860 --> 01:00:21.720
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: o kaya meron mga nag-bibid failure, hindi na bili,

asr-001054
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.

asr-001055
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

asr-001056
01:00:34.640 --> 01:00:38.220
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: kasi hindi nga nabili, yung na-forecast na kailangan,

asr-001057
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.

asr-001058
01:00:43.940 --> 01:00:48.760
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Tapos kung hindi rin po maayos yung ating inventory system

asr-001059
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.

asr-001060
01:00:53.680 --> 01:00:57.680
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Parang, ayoko po mapakinggan kasi parang pambubunan.

asr-001061
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.

asr-001062
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.

asr-001063
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.

asr-001064
01:01:10.300 --> 01:01:11.740
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tinatambak nyo lang po sa warehouse.

asr-001065
01:01:12.560 --> 01:01:16.600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kasi nga po, bumibili kayo ng mga gamot na about to expire.

asr-001066
01:01:17.420 --> 01:01:21.640
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sandali lang po, about to expire dahil meron kayong pinapaboran na supplier

asr-001067
01:01:21.640 --> 01:01:24.000
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: at yung mga supplier na yun, nagbibigay po ng kickback.

asr-001068
01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:26.620
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tinatambak po dyan sa warehouse.

asr-001069
01:01:27.680 --> 01:01:29.640
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Every year, kasi yung mga sinasabi nyo po ma'am,

asr-001070
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,

asr-001071
01:01:35.780 --> 01:01:39.960
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: pero third, fourth, fifth year, sixth year, ganoon pa rin, come on.

asr-001072
01:01:40.420 --> 01:01:41.120
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nagluloko na tayo.

asr-001073
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.

asr-001074
01:01:47.080 --> 01:01:50.240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At yung supplier nagbibigay ng bagong gamot.

asr-001075
01:01:50.420 --> 01:01:51.320
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nasaan ang resibo?

asr-001076
01:01:51.900 --> 01:01:52.340
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Show us.

asr-001077
01:01:53.200 --> 01:01:56.560
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Yun pong, hindi po ako version of ang sabi nyo.

asr-001078
01:01:56.660 --> 01:01:57.240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Pakisagot lang po.

asr-001079
01:01:57.240 --> 01:02:00.240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Meron pa kayo may pakitang resibo na yung mga expired na gamot.

asr-001080
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.

asr-001081
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:06.240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At that yung supplier, pinapalit ka ng bago.

asr-001082
01:02:06.560 --> 01:02:08.720
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And is that stipulated po yung sa contract?

asr-001083
01:02:09.180 --> 01:02:12.220
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Sir, yung pong binabalik, kasi meron pong kwano eh.

asr-001084
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.

asr-001085
01:02:18.680 --> 01:02:18.900
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Okay.

asr-001086
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.

asr-001087
01:02:24.860 --> 01:02:26.860
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Sabihin na nyo natin, 15 months upon delivery.

asr-001088
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.

asr-001089
01:02:37.600 --> 01:02:38.280
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ma'am, sorry ma'am.

asr-001090
01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:41.060
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I've heard that so many times.

asr-001091
01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:42.600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Umulit-ulit na lang tayo.

asr-001092
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.

asr-001093
01:02:54.340 --> 01:02:55.800
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Huwag kayong mag-alalasin.

asr-001094
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.

asr-001095
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.

asr-001096
01:03:06.560 --> 01:03:07.080
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Opo, pasensya naman po.

asr-001097
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?

asr-001098
01:03:16.380 --> 01:03:19.160
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Okay. Maybe we can request yung...

asr-001099
01:03:19.160 --> 01:03:20.000
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I need the receipts.

asr-001100
01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.060
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I need the receipts. Give this committee a resibo.

asr-001101
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:22.580
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Opo.

asr-001102
01:03:22.580 --> 01:03:25.480
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At saka tingnan natin yung contract right now. Give us the contract.

asr-001103
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?

asr-001104
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.

asr-001105
01:03:45.860 --> 01:03:49.480
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Pero yung expired, hindi po kami aware namin.

asr-001106
01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:53.140
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sinabi po yun na yung nag-expired. Huwag daw mag-alala.

asr-001107
01:03:53.660 --> 01:03:55.780
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And then ma'am, Secretary?

asr-001108
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.

asr-001109
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?

asr-001110
01:04:20.300 --> 01:04:24.360
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Magkano pong halaga ng nag-expired na binauna naman sa lupa?

asr-001111
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.

asr-001112
01:04:34.170 --> 01:04:36.550
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And the near expiry is 477 million.

asr-001113
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?

asr-001114
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.

asr-001115
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:52.660
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Hindi po, yan po ibinabasura.

asr-001116
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.

asr-001117
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.

asr-001118
01:05:07.600 --> 01:05:08.840
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat hindi na po ito maulit.

asr-001119
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?

asr-001120
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.

asr-001121
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:21.280
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sa ibang bansa, it doesn't happen.

asr-001122
01:05:22.420 --> 01:05:24.980
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Hindi nangyari ito. Sinignan ko, Singapore, wala.

asr-001123
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.

asr-001124
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.

asr-001125
01:05:40.180 --> 01:05:43.040
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sa atin, hundreds of millions and billions pa.

asr-001126
01:05:45.230 --> 01:05:47.190
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So talagang very clear, may corruption po dito.

asr-001127
01:05:48.750 --> 01:05:50.590
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Siguro, maganda yung blue ribbon to.

asr-001128
01:05:51.890 --> 01:05:53.830
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Because it's been happening every year.

asr-001129
01:05:53.830 --> 01:05:57.590
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Siguro, Senping, i-blue ribbon po siguro natin to.

asr-001130
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?

asr-001131
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?

asr-001132
01:06:15.150 --> 01:06:17.210
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Para na ma-appreciate namin better.

asr-001134
01:06:22.280 --> 01:06:24.880
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Eto, Senping, Senping, I have this.

asr-001135
01:06:25.560 --> 01:06:31.260
Senator Panfilo Lacson: For the record, ma'am.

asr-001136
01:06:31.780 --> 01:06:33.540
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sige, mas maganda, magaling po sa inyo.

asr-001137
01:06:35.120 --> 01:06:37.440
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sige, kunin nyo lang, pagpapawisang kayo.

asr-001138
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.

asr-001139
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.

asr-001140
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.

asr-001141
01:07:07.440 --> 01:07:11.180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na prescription-based. Pero mahirap kasi sa DOH yun.

asr-001142
01:07:11.260 --> 01:07:17.240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi meron tayong, ano, yung mga health centers.

asr-001143
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.

asr-001144
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.

asr-001145
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.

asr-001146
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.

asr-001147
01:07:35.620 --> 01:07:37.360
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Tata mo.

asr-001148
01:07:37.440 --> 01:07:42.600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So, Sen. JB, Mr. Chair, hindi ko makalimutan yun.

asr-001149
01:07:42.700 --> 01:07:46.640
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I went to an island somewhere in Bohol a few years ago.

asr-001150
01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:50.340
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And nilapitan ako ng barangay chairwoman nila.

asr-001151
01:07:50.940 --> 01:07:53.380
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At sinasabi niya, wala rin nakakarating na gamot sa kanila.

asr-001152
01:07:54.540 --> 01:07:55.560
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napakinggan yung hearing.

asr-001153
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.

asr-001154
01:08:02.360 --> 01:08:04.200
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Samantalang sa amin, wala po nakakarating.

asr-001155
01:08:04.200 --> 01:08:06.680
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Paano kayo nag-procure ng gamot?

asr-001156
01:08:07.440 --> 01:08:08.940
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Contribute po kami. Kami-kami.

asr-001157
01:08:09.140 --> 01:08:09.900
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nag-aambag-ambag.

asr-001158
01:08:10.020 --> 01:08:11.740
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kasi walang dumarating sa health center namin.

asr-001159
01:08:11.900 --> 01:08:14.660
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kung meron man, kunti-kunti.

asr-001160
01:08:14.820 --> 01:08:15.760
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And about to expire.

asr-001161
01:08:16.160 --> 01:08:17.180
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Di po ba nakakaya yun?

asr-001162
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,

asr-001163
01:08:20.220 --> 01:08:23.860
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: barangay health centers nationwide, na kulang sa gamot.

asr-001164
01:08:25.060 --> 01:08:27.560
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kulang sa, especially sa mga maintenance na gamot.

asr-001165
01:08:28.560 --> 01:08:31.040
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Maski na mga simple lang na mga paracetamol.

asr-001166
01:08:31.500 --> 01:08:31.860
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Wala.

asr-001167
01:08:33.360 --> 01:08:33.900
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Di ba?

asr-001168
01:08:34.160 --> 01:08:35.060
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And yet,

asr-001169
01:08:36.320 --> 01:08:37.420
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: every single year,

asr-001170
01:08:37.440 --> 01:08:38.540
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: by the hundreds of millions,

asr-001171
01:08:38.620 --> 01:08:39.660
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: meron pa nga billions eh.

asr-001172
01:08:40.580 --> 01:08:41.100
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Billion.

asr-001173
01:08:42.380 --> 01:08:43.220
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: 11, oh see?

asr-001174
01:08:43.620 --> 01:08:45.620
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: 11 billion pesos

asr-001175
01:08:45.620 --> 01:08:46.880
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: ibinaon sa lupa.

asr-001176
01:08:48.240 --> 01:08:48.840
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: 2023,

asr-001177
01:08:49.080 --> 01:08:50.600
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: pang magkita ng expired na gamot.

asr-001178
01:08:50.940 --> 01:08:51.940
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat dyan may makulong.

asr-001179
01:08:52.040 --> 01:08:53.480
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Dapat dyan may mapugutan ng ulo eh.

asr-001180
01:08:55.160 --> 01:08:57.280
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Napaka-skandaloso yung amount na yan.

asr-001181
01:08:57.740 --> 01:08:58.120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po.

asr-001182
01:08:58.880 --> 01:09:00.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, if I may po.

asr-001183
01:09:01.380 --> 01:09:02.100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang mga,

asr-001184
01:09:02.860 --> 01:09:05.060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: before I go to the expired meds nga po,

asr-001185
01:09:05.120 --> 01:09:06.020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: may datos na kami.

asr-001186
01:09:06.020 --> 01:09:07.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero ang una po namin,

asr-001187
01:09:07.440 --> 01:09:08.440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung pinag-aaralan,

asr-001188
01:09:08.440 --> 01:09:11.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay parang yung nabanggit ni Sen. JV.

asr-001189
01:09:11.620 --> 01:09:12.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Talagang palakasin yung gamot

asr-001190
01:09:12.880 --> 01:09:14.460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para doon napadaanin.

asr-001191
01:09:14.460 --> 01:09:17.220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At yung nakalaang budget

asr-001192
01:09:17.220 --> 01:09:19.320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para dito sa commodities,

asr-001193
01:09:19.320 --> 01:09:20.720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: maibigay na lang sa PhilHealth

asr-001194
01:09:20.720 --> 01:09:22.520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para sila yung nagpa-purchase.

asr-001195
01:09:22.520 --> 01:09:23.220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi at least,

asr-001196
01:09:23.580 --> 01:09:24.460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: broad dyan.

asr-001197
01:09:24.460 --> 01:09:28.360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At saka ang mga pharmacist na engaged namin ay nandun.

asr-001198
01:09:28.360 --> 01:09:30.060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At negotiated naman po yung price.

asr-001199
01:09:30.060 --> 01:09:30.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, isa po yun.

asr-001200
01:09:31.320 --> 01:09:31.900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pangalwa po,

asr-001201
01:09:31.900 --> 01:09:33.600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung aming procurement nga yan,

01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:35.000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na decentralized na po,

asr-001203
01:09:35.500 --> 01:09:37.280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 40% na lang po yung pinoprocure sa iyo.

asr-001204
01:09:37.280 --> 01:09:37.920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Or centrally,

asr-001205
01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:38.780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung 60%,

asr-001206
01:09:38.780 --> 01:09:41.320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: lalo na po yung mga common essential meds

asr-001207
01:09:41.320 --> 01:09:43.220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na meron naman locally available,

asr-001208
01:09:43.220 --> 01:09:45.920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay doon na po sa CHD ginagamit

asr-001209
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:47.420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: or pinoprocure.

asr-001210
01:09:47.420 --> 01:09:50.300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pangatlo po nga yung pagtingin ko ulit po

asr-001211
01:09:50.300 --> 01:09:51.720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: doon sa IT system.

asr-001212
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:55.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: But nabanggit nga po ni Sen. Tulfo,

asr-001213
01:09:55.500 --> 01:09:57.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at siguro po maki-create po talaga ako

asr-001214
01:09:57.260 --> 01:09:59.640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng investigating committee 2G3.

asr-001215
01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:00.700
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So, isa meron na eh.

asr-001216
01:10:00.700 --> 01:10:02.700
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Inter-office task force,

asr-001217
01:10:02.700 --> 01:10:03.700
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I believe.

asr-001218
01:10:03.700 --> 01:10:08.140
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Eh, kayo po ay isa sa mga member nito.

asr-001219
01:10:08.140 --> 01:10:10.740
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yusek Balboa.

asr-001220
01:10:10.740 --> 01:10:13.040
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Masama si Yusek Balboa?

asr-001221
01:10:13.040 --> 01:10:13.540
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Okay.

asr-001222
01:10:13.540 --> 01:10:15.240
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So, ano pong resulta

asr-001223
01:10:15.240 --> 01:10:17.840
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: nung inyong ginawang investigation?

asr-001224
01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:21.560
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Ay hindi po kami yung nag-imbestiga.

asr-001225
01:10:21.560 --> 01:10:23.760
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: Kami po yung weekly po na nag-meet

asr-001226
01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:25.880
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: para po i-discuss yung mga issues

asr-001227
01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:28.100
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: concerning doon sa policy

asr-001228
01:10:28.100 --> 01:10:29.800
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: at saka doon sa procurement

asr-001229
01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:31.160
DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa: at saka supply chain po.

asr-001230
01:10:31.160 --> 01:10:32.820
Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: But anyway, ito na lang po ano,

asr-001231
01:10:32.820 --> 01:10:34.780

01:22:29.210 --> 01:22:33.370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: issue on

01:22:33.370 --> 01:22:34.190
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: waste aid

asr-001740
01:22:34.190 --> 01:22:35.010
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng

asr-001741
01:22:35.010 --> 01:22:36.010
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: medicines

asr-001742
01:22:36.010 --> 01:22:37.010
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kasi

asr-001743
01:22:37.010 --> 01:22:45.100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I want to correlate this also sa immunization.

asr-001752
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.

asr-001762
01:22:57.600 --> 01:22:59.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: put on record na si Secretary

asr-001764
01:22:59.540 --> 01:23:01.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mercado nung nasa PhilHealth,

asr-001766
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:03.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: he was very generous with his time

asr-001768
01:23:03.580 --> 01:23:05.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in briefing us. I think we met two or

asr-001770
01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:06.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: three times to

asr-001771
01:23:06.980 --> 01:23:08.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: brief us on

asr-001773
01:23:08.460 --> 01:23:11.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the activities and the goals of PhilHealth.

asr-001782
01:23:12.020 --> 01:23:13.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I really appreciate that because

asr-001788
01:23:13.720 --> 01:23:14.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang

asr-001790
01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:17.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: public health and also

asr-001800
01:23:17.340 --> 01:23:21.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: universal health care is a very complicated

asr-001806
01:23:21.580 --> 01:23:22.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and costly

asr-001808
01:23:22.420 --> 01:23:25.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: endeavor so we really appreciate

asr-001812
01:23:25.640 --> 01:23:27.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: you making effort for us

asr-001816
01:23:27.480 --> 01:23:28.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to understand it

asr-001819
01:23:28.420 --> 01:23:31.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so I'll go to my first topic

asr-001825
01:23:31.500 --> 01:23:32.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in immunization

asr-001827
01:23:32.420 --> 01:23:35.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and I'll flash on the screen

asr-001833
01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:48.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So yung ating budget, Secretary, tumataas siya over the years.

asr-001834
01:23:51.140 --> 01:23:55.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Total budget is about 7.9 billion pesos.

asr-001835
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.

asr-001836
01:24:00.940 --> 01:24:02.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This report is from EDCOM.

asr-001837
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.

asr-001838
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%.

asr-001839
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.

asr-001840
01:24:27.780 --> 01:24:30.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Dapat non-negotiable yung first 1,000 days.

asr-001841
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.

asr-001842
01:24:36.160 --> 01:24:41.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then the next slide, Table 3, Alena.

asr-001843
01:24:43.680 --> 01:24:52.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Merong seven different types of vaccines and medicines na binibigay.

asr-001844
01:24:52.160 --> 01:24:57.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: At nakita namin na mataasing wastage rate.

asr-001845
01:24:58.260 --> 01:25:00.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About 590 million.

asr-001846
01:25:00.220 --> 01:25:01.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang wastage rate.

asr-001847
01:25:02.200 --> 01:25:03.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So different.

asr-001848
01:25:03.680 --> 01:25:10.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Iba-iba yung mga wastage rates ng iba't-ibang vaccines.

asr-001849
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.

asr-001850
01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:18.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 590 million to be exact.

asr-001851
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.

asr-001852
01:25:29.160 --> 01:25:30.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And yet,

asr-001853
01:25:30.220 --> 01:25:32.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: maraming wastage ang nangyayari.

asr-001854
01:25:33.040 --> 01:25:37.000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About half a billion pesos ang nasasayang.

asr-001855
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,

asr-001856
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.

asr-001857
01:25:51.500 --> 01:25:52.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So may I get a comment?

asr-001858
01:25:53.160 --> 01:25:54.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I know this is beyond your time.

asr-001859
01:25:55.040 --> 01:25:57.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Natanong na ni Senator Rafi kanina.

asr-001860
01:25:57.180 --> 01:25:59.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I just want to flag,

asr-001861
01:26:00.220 --> 01:26:02.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the new secretary, the new team,

asr-001862
01:26:03.120 --> 01:26:05.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: na merong ganitong problema tayo.

asr-001863
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.

asr-001864
01:26:08.980 --> 01:26:12.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because kahit anong investment natin sa education,

asr-001865
01:26:13.520 --> 01:26:17.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kung papasok sila na stunted, wasted, underweight,

asr-001866
01:26:18.100 --> 01:26:20.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ano na eh, tapos na yung boxing eh.

asr-001867
01:26:20.380 --> 01:26:23.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi na sila makaka-recover.

asr-001868
01:26:23.220 --> 01:26:25.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I want to ask the secretary,

asr-001869
01:26:26.080 --> 01:26:29.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ano ba yung plano natin to avoid such a wastage?

asr-001870
01:26:29.260 --> 01:26:31.100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Na pag-usapan niyo kanina.

asr-001871
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?

asr-001872
01:26:37.860 --> 01:26:42.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Considering na marami tayong bata na dapat bigyan ng vaccines.

asr-001873
01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:45.120
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-001874
01:26:46.260 --> 01:26:51.780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi lang po pag na newborn, kundi ang ginagawa po natin ngayon,

asr-001875
01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:55.180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: even during the pregnancy stage, kinacapture na po natin.

asr-001876
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.

asr-001877
01:26:59.260 --> 01:27:02.000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Na kung saan po covered yung 8 prenatal.

asr-001878
01:27:02.160 --> 01:27:07.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasama po dyan yung monitoring ng growth ng bata, even intrauterine.

asr-001879
01:27:07.860 --> 01:27:11.700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung mismong panganak, whether it's CS or it's normal delivery.

asr-001880
01:27:12.360 --> 01:27:17.560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At yung 4 pong postnatal or postpartum.

asr-001881
01:27:18.100 --> 01:27:21.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ang ano po namin, itatahi namin yung first 1,000 day.

asr-001882
01:27:22.060 --> 01:27:25.180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At parang i-facilitate namin.

asr-001883
01:27:25.180 --> 01:27:29.180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po once nagpanganak po yung ating bata,

asr-001884
01:27:29.260 --> 01:27:31.940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: meron na pong PhilHealth ID number yan.

asr-001885
01:27:32.060 --> 01:27:34.180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po naggagawa tayo ng newborn screening eh.

asr-001886
01:27:34.600 --> 01:27:37.460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So itatahi na rin po natin na ma-register sa YACAP.

asr-001887
01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:40.300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At para po doon sa YACAP Clinic of Choice po nila,

asr-001888
01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:44.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: may care coordinator na babantayan po kung nabakunahan,

asr-001889
01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:47.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung yung growth chart ay nagagawa.

asr-001890
01:27:47.540 --> 01:27:51.300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At kami po ay gumagawa po ng care coordinator top-up

asr-001891
01:27:51.300 --> 01:27:53.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para ma-incentivize po yung mga YACAP Clinic

asr-001892
01:27:53.540 --> 01:27:57.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na gawin po yung monitoring at tiyakin yung mga bata ay nababakunahan.

asr-001893
01:27:57.240 --> 01:27:59.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At kami naman po sa DOH,

asr-001894
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

asr-001895
01:28:03.080 --> 01:28:05.160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay mababaan namin ng mga bakuna.

asr-001896
01:28:05.940 --> 01:28:08.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dapat po tayo mismo yung humahalugad eh.

asr-001897
01:28:08.360 --> 01:28:10.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi yung mga pupunta lang ng RHU,

asr-001898
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

asr-001899
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

asr-001900
01:28:24.680 --> 01:28:27.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: doon pa lang po sa YACAP Primary Care Clinics.

asr-001901
01:28:27.240 --> 01:28:29.120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So itatahi po natin yung programa.

asr-001902
01:28:29.260 --> 01:28:30.860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para hindi po siya siloed.

asr-001903
01:28:31.440 --> 01:28:33.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At hopefully nga po yung first 1,000 day,

asr-001904
01:28:33.620 --> 01:28:36.280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mababa lang, mataas po natin yung vaccination rate,

asr-001905
01:28:36.780 --> 01:28:38.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mababa po natin yung stunting rate.

asr-001906
01:28:38.980 --> 01:28:41.080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para pag pumasok na po doon sa preschool,

asr-001907
01:28:41.680 --> 01:28:44.560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: medyo bawas po yung problema maghahabol tayo

asr-001908
01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:48.100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na tsaka lang tayo magno-nutrition supplement.

asr-001909
01:28:48.740 --> 01:28:50.400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Lalo na po pag pumasok ng DepEd,

asr-001910
01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:55.600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: tatrack po natin yan hanggang maging nasa health workforce na po.

asr-001911
01:28:55.600 --> 01:28:58.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun naman po yung empanelment ng ating mga DOLE.

asr-001912
01:28:59.260 --> 01:29:03.720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun po yung plano namin, Sen.

asr-001913
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.

asr-001914
01:29:09.580 --> 01:29:14.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, PhilHealth na ang magtatrack niyan in other words?

asr-001915
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.

asr-001916
01:29:22.380 --> 01:29:23.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ganun ba yung inyong strategy?

asr-001917
01:29:24.540 --> 01:29:28.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Meron pa naman po din pupunta mismo ng RHO.

asr-001918
01:29:28.200 --> 01:29:32.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kung ang RHO po ay isang YACAP accredited clinic, well and good.

asr-001919
01:29:32.440 --> 01:29:35.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po maka-capture natin yung data doon sa EMR.

asr-001920
01:29:35.900 --> 01:29:40.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya sinestrengthen nga natin yung EMR platform, yung National Health Data Repository.

asr-001921
01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:43.740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero may sarili pa rin programa po ang DOH.

asr-001922
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

asr-001923
01:29:52.020 --> 01:29:58.020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: o tawagan ang DOH na magdala ng aming mga vaccines sa kanilang...

asr-001924
01:29:58.200 --> 01:29:59.920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sa kanilang mga clinics, mas marami po.

asr-001925
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:01.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: tayong touch points na pwedeng

asr-001926
01:30:01.380 --> 01:30:02.420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: puntahan.

asr-001927
01:30:03.280 --> 01:30:05.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: The way I understand it, at least from

asr-001928
01:30:05.780 --> 01:30:07.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: a delivery side,

asr-001929
01:30:09.420 --> 01:30:10.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: gagamit

asr-001930
01:30:10.040 --> 01:30:11.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kayo ng database

asr-001931
01:30:11.460 --> 01:30:13.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: which is existing with

asr-001932
01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:15.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: PhilHealth, if I'm not mistaken.

asr-001933
01:30:15.940 --> 01:30:17.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pagpanganak niya, meron na siyang PhilHealth

asr-001934
01:30:17.880 --> 01:30:19.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: number at itatrack siya

asr-001935
01:30:19.780 --> 01:30:20.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: all the way to

asr-001936
01:30:20.920 --> 01:30:23.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hanggat kailangan niya ng vaccination

asr-001937
01:30:23.500 --> 01:30:25.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and immunization. Ganoon ba yung mangyayari?

asr-001938
01:30:26.820 --> 01:30:27.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po. Kaya po

asr-001939
01:30:27.820 --> 01:30:29.760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang objective namin, very tall

asr-001940
01:30:29.760 --> 01:30:31.920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: orders. Ayokong 80% dapat ng population

asr-001941
01:30:31.920 --> 01:30:33.580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na ka-enroll na sa

asr-001942
01:30:33.580 --> 01:30:34.900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: YACAP by 2028.

asr-001943
01:30:36.200 --> 01:30:37.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But the problem,

asr-001944
01:30:37.900 --> 01:30:39.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary, is actually

asr-001945
01:30:39.220 --> 01:30:41.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nakikita kong problema. I'm also

asr-001946
01:30:41.660 --> 01:30:43.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: listening earlier. It's really your

asr-001947
01:30:43.640 --> 01:30:45.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: inventory management. I think this

asr-001948
01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:46.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is a bigger problem

asr-001949
01:30:46.760 --> 01:30:49.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in your

asr-001950
01:30:49.360 --> 01:30:50.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: management

asr-001951
01:30:50.520 --> 01:30:54.020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: issues. Nakita ko

asr-001952
01:30:54.020 --> 01:30:55.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and I'll show you later on some of

asr-001953
01:30:55.760 --> 01:30:57.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the inventory and execution

asr-001954
01:30:57.520 --> 01:30:59.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: issues. But in inventory problem,

asr-001955
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:01.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: it's something

asr-001956
01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:03.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that you need to put a lot of

asr-001957
01:31:03.880 --> 01:31:05.940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: attention kasi daming perang nasasayang.

asr-001958
01:31:06.220 --> 01:31:07.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Only on the

asr-001959
01:31:07.640 --> 01:31:10.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: seven immunization vaccines,

asr-001960
01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:11.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 500 billion na.

asr-001961
01:31:12.140 --> 01:31:13.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi pa natin pinag-uusapan pa yung

asr-001962
01:31:13.780 --> 01:31:15.800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mga ibang mga vaccines. And I hear

asr-001963
01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:17.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: this in the LGUs na

asr-001964
01:31:17.360 --> 01:31:19.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: gusto nilang mag-immunize, gusto

asr-001965
01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:21.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nilang magpa-e-vaccine yung

asr-001966
01:31:21.740 --> 01:31:23.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kanilang mga constituents pero wala silang

asr-001967
01:31:23.740 --> 01:31:25.800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: commodities.

asr-001968
01:31:26.200 --> 01:31:27.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Wala silang commodities.

asr-001969
01:31:27.320 --> 01:31:29.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I also,

asr-001970
01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:31.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I also suggest that

asr-001971
01:31:31.460 --> 01:31:33.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: i-top natin yung mga LGUs.

asr-001972
01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:35.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung mga LGUs na gustong magpa-immunize,

asr-001973
01:31:36.860 --> 01:31:37.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: bigay lang tayo ng bigay

asr-001974
01:31:37.980 --> 01:31:39.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: sa kanila para sila nang gumalaw

asr-001975
01:31:39.660 --> 01:31:42.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: on the ground. Tutal, ano talaga eh,

asr-001976
01:31:42.360 --> 01:31:44.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang mga LGUs talaga ang gagalaw

asr-001977
01:31:44.080 --> 01:31:46.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: dahil sila ang merong health centers.

asr-001978
01:31:46.760 --> 01:31:47.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sila ang merong

asr-001979
01:31:47.520 --> 01:31:48.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung

asr-001980
01:31:48.900 --> 01:31:51.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: BHWs. Sila yung

asr-001981
01:31:51.480 --> 01:31:53.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nag-house to house. So

asr-001982
01:31:53.440 --> 01:31:55.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mas maganda ibigay, download nilang

asr-001983
01:31:55.460 --> 01:31:57.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng download, based on their

asr-001984
01:31:59.160 --> 01:31:59.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: projected

asr-001985
01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:01.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: relation. So that's what I suggest.

asr-001986
01:32:01.800 --> 01:32:03.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Maganda yung programa ninyo

asr-001987
01:32:03.360 --> 01:32:05.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: but yung nakikita

asr-001988
01:32:05.600 --> 01:32:07.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kong problem is inventory

asr-001989
01:32:07.440 --> 01:32:08.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: management.

asr-001990
01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:11.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And of course, wala

asr-001991
01:32:11.560 --> 01:32:13.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: namang health, public health na walang

asr-001992
01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:15.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: medicine, walang vaccines. So

asr-001993
01:32:15.320 --> 01:32:17.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that's one thing that we need to

asr-001994
01:32:17.300 --> 01:32:18.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: solve,

asr-001995
01:32:19.600 --> 01:32:20.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary.

asr-001995-split-2
01:32:20.200 --> 01:32:21.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po,

asr-001996
01:32:21.640 --> 01:32:23.560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kaya nga po yung tinignan ko

asr-001997
01:32:23.560 --> 01:32:25.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung inventory management system.

asr-001998
01:32:26.080 --> 01:32:27.680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Outdated na po at hindi daw

asr-001999
01:32:27.680 --> 01:32:29.400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na may maintain. Matagal na daw pong

asr-002000
01:32:29.400 --> 01:32:31.400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: hindi gano'ng nagagamit. Kaya sa'yo ko,

asr-002001
01:32:31.480 --> 01:32:33.120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yun yung una nating ayusin.

asr-002002
01:32:33.580 --> 01:32:35.600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Down to the level of the LGUs

asr-002003
01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:37.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: and RHUs. Kasi minsan po, natatrack

asr-002004
01:32:37.540 --> 01:32:39.360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: lang hanggang dun sa regional office eh.

asr-002005
01:32:39.580 --> 01:32:41.420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi down to the last mile nung

asr-002006
01:32:41.420 --> 01:32:43.600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: actual delivery nung services.

asr-002007
01:32:43.840 --> 01:32:45.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Correct. Kasi na-point

asr-002008
01:32:45.620 --> 01:32:47.120
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: out ito ni Senator Raffy and

asr-002009
01:32:47.120 --> 01:32:49.100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hopefully

asr-002010
01:32:49.100 --> 01:32:51.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: under your leadership, once and for all,

asr-002011
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:53.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: masolve na itong

asr-002012
01:32:53.340 --> 01:32:55.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: inventory management

asr-002013
01:32:55.740 --> 01:32:56.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: issues natin.

asr-002014
01:32:57.340 --> 01:32:59.380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Next is on nutrition.

asr-002015
01:32:59.400 --> 01:33:01.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And this is related

asr-002016
01:33:01.300 --> 01:33:03.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to the National Nutrition

asr-002017
01:33:03.160 --> 01:33:05.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Council na makakakuha

asr-002018
01:33:05.960 --> 01:33:07.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng under

asr-002032
01:33:32.900 --> 01:33:34.780

asr-002033
01:33:34.780 --> 01:33:35.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: or wasting is

asr-002034
01:33:35.900 --> 01:33:38.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 5%. But you have to

asr-002049
01:34:04.560 --> 01:34:06.820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I want to ask

asr-002050
01:34:06.820 --> 01:34:08.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the National Nutrition Council

asr-002051
01:34:08.900 --> 01:34:11.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: who sits also

asr-002052
01:34:11.200 --> 01:34:12.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in the Early Childhood

asr-002053
01:34:12.860 --> 01:34:14.940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Council,

asr-002054
01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:16.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ano ang

asr-002055
01:34:16.860 --> 01:34:18.820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: strategy natin dito? I don't expect

asr-002056
01:34:18.820 --> 01:34:20.800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: DOH to feed

asr-002057
01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:22.820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: all our 0 to 5 children.

asr-002058
01:34:22.960 --> 01:34:24.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Imposible yan. The only way

asr-002059
01:34:24.780 --> 01:34:26.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to do that is to work

asr-002060
01:34:26.760 --> 01:34:27.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: with the LGUs.

asr-002061
01:34:29.060 --> 01:34:31.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kung wala yung LGU, hindi natin

asr-002062
01:34:31.080 --> 01:34:32.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mapapakain lahat yan.

asr-002063
01:34:32.920 --> 01:34:34.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Per year, on the average, it's about

asr-002064
01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:35.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 3 million kids.

asr-002065
01:34:36.940 --> 01:34:39.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kung 0 to 5 yan,

asr-002066
01:34:39.460 --> 01:34:41.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so we're talking about more or less

asr-002067
01:34:41.400 --> 01:34:44.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: siguro mga

asr-002068
01:34:44.180 --> 01:34:46.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ilan yan? Ilang bata yan?

asr-002069
01:34:47.300 --> 01:34:48.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Siguro mga around

asr-002070
01:34:48.560 --> 01:34:50.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 30 million? 8 million?

asr-002071
01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:52.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sorry, may mali ano ko.

asr-002072
01:34:53.020 --> 01:34:54.380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But 8 million na bata.

asr-002073
01:34:54.380 --> 01:34:56.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So hahanapin natin

asr-002074
01:34:56.480 --> 01:34:57.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung 8 million na bata na yan.

asr-002075
01:34:59.060 --> 01:35:00.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So that is LGUs.

asr-002076
01:35:00.440 --> 01:35:01.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I want to ask

asr-002077
01:35:01.240 --> 01:35:04.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the NNC, how do we

asr-002078
01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:06.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: once and for all resolve this?

asr-002079
01:35:06.700 --> 01:35:08.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In fairness, bumaba tayo since

asr-002080
01:35:08.480 --> 01:35:10.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 1989. Pero na

asr-002081
01:35:10.440 --> 01:35:12.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nagplato tayo in the last few

asr-002082
01:35:12.660 --> 01:35:14.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: years. But ang challenge natin

asr-002083
01:35:14.780 --> 01:35:16.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is the goal is

asr-002084
01:35:16.340 --> 01:35:18.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: zero stunted, zero wasted, zero

asr-002085
01:35:18.500 --> 01:35:20.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: underweight. So I want to hear

01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:22.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: from NNC

asr-002087

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: a strategy to achieve that.

asr-002194
01:38:57.180 --> 01:38:58.860

asr-002195
01:38:58.900 --> 01:39:01.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 8 million siya,

asr-002196
01:39:01.820 --> 01:39:03.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 25%

asr-002197
01:39:03.420 --> 01:39:05.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ay stunted, so about 2 million

asr-002198
01:39:05.280 --> 01:39:07.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng mga bata natin

asr-002199
01:39:07.240 --> 01:39:09.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ay bansot. That's correct, Mr. Chair.

asr-002200
01:39:09.300 --> 01:39:11.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And that, of course, stunting is

asr-002201
01:39:11.260 --> 01:39:12.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: also a form of malnutrition.

asr-002202
01:39:12.980 --> 01:39:14.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In other words,

asr-002203
01:39:15.020 --> 01:39:17.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2 million kids

asr-002204
01:39:17.500 --> 01:39:19.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: below 5

asr-002205
01:39:19.280 --> 01:39:21.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: years old, malnourished

asr-002206
01:39:21.300 --> 01:39:21.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: siya.

asr-002207
01:39:22.520 --> 01:39:24.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I really appreciate na

asr-002208
01:39:24.740 --> 01:39:27.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: na-recognize niyo na NCC

asr-002209
01:39:27.060 --> 01:39:28.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is a policy and strategy

asr-002210
01:39:28.900 --> 01:39:30.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: body

asr-002211
01:39:30.880 --> 01:39:32.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: rather than implementation.

asr-002212
01:39:33.160 --> 01:39:34.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi maraming mga councils gusto

asr-002213
01:39:34.980 --> 01:39:37.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mag-implement rin, which is

asr-002214
01:39:37.220 --> 01:39:38.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: completely wrong. Kasi

asr-002215
01:39:38.740 --> 01:39:40.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hindi kaya ng

asr-002216
01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:43.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: isang policymaker na siya rin

asr-002217
01:39:43.260 --> 01:39:44.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mag-implement. So

asr-002218
01:39:44.660 --> 01:39:47.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I do agree that

asr-002219
01:39:47.360 --> 01:39:49.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: better to

asr-002220
01:39:49.200 --> 01:39:51.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: download to the local government units,

asr-002221
01:39:51.800 --> 01:39:52.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: better to

asr-002222
01:39:52.700 --> 01:39:54.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: empower the local government units,

asr-002223
01:39:55.100 --> 01:39:56.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: train them. I think that

asr-002224
01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:58.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is the best way to reach out.

asr-002225
01:39:58.900 --> 01:40:00.940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: To itong mga

asr-002226
01:40:00.940 --> 01:40:03.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: tingin ko, mga last mile areas

asr-002227
01:40:03.240 --> 01:40:04.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to eh. Talagang hindi na maabot

asr-002228
01:40:04.840 --> 01:40:06.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng mga

asr-002229
01:40:06.420 --> 01:40:09.000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ibang government facilities.

asr-002230
01:40:09.260 --> 01:40:10.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So para maabot talaga sila.

asr-002231
01:40:11.460 --> 01:40:12.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then I also saw

asr-002232
01:40:12.920 --> 01:40:14.940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in your NEP,

asr-002233
01:40:15.260 --> 01:40:16.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: this is

asr-002234
01:40:16.840 --> 01:40:17.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: slide

asr-002235
01:40:17.900 --> 01:40:19.540

01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:26.200

01:40:27.760 --> 01:40:28.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: grade

asr-002240
01:40:28.320 --> 01:40:28.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: your

asr-002241
01:40:28.840 --> 01:40:30.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: selves and also the LGUs.

asr-002242
01:40:31.100 --> 01:40:32.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Dito kasi sa performance

asr-002243
01:40:32.320 --> 01:40:34.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: information,

asr-002244
01:40:34.900 --> 01:40:37.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nakasulat dito, 96% of our

asr-002245
01:40:37.060 --> 01:40:37.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: LGUs

asr-002246
01:40:37.860 --> 01:40:40.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hit a score

asr-002247
01:40:40.900 --> 01:40:42.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: of 85%

asr-002248
01:40:42.240 --> 01:40:44.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: pagdating sa seal of quality

asr-002249
01:40:44.480 --> 01:40:46.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nutrition program. But obviously,

asr-002250
01:40:47.400 --> 01:40:51.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kung meron tayong

asr-002251
01:40:51.160 --> 01:40:52.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: dalawang milyong batang

asr-002252
01:40:52.400 --> 01:40:54.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: malnourish,

asr-002253
01:40:54.900 --> 01:40:56.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in LGUs natin, it's not

asr-002254
01:40:56.400 --> 01:40:57.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: also

asr-002255
01:40:57.680 --> 01:41:00.800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: pushing themselves to reach

asr-002256
01:41:00.800 --> 01:41:02.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: a better score.

asr-002257
01:41:02.740 --> 01:41:05.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I urge you to

asr-002258
01:41:05.460 --> 01:41:07.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: look at this. I don't believe

asr-002259
01:41:07.320 --> 01:41:09.660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that 96%, 85%

asr-002260
01:41:09.660 --> 01:41:10.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang kanilang

asr-002261
01:41:10.520 --> 01:41:12.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nari-reach. I think

asr-002262
01:41:12.900 --> 01:41:15.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: we need to be realistic kasi that's

asr-002263
01:41:15.460 --> 01:41:17.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: also how we gauge the LGUs.

asr-002264
01:41:18.040 --> 01:41:19.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Those LGUs who are

asr-002265
01:41:19.440 --> 01:41:21.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: really putting nutrition at the

asr-002266
01:41:21.440 --> 01:41:23.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: fore or talagang binibigyan

asr-002267
01:41:23.360 --> 01:41:25.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ng pahalagang

asr-002268
01:41:25.280 --> 01:41:27.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nutrition, dapat mataas yung score. Pero kung

asr-002269
01:41:27.320 --> 01:41:28.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in ibang LGU na wala namang

asr-002270
01:41:28.980 --> 01:41:31.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ginagawa, that should

asr-002271
01:41:31.460 --> 01:41:33.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: be also given

asr-002272
01:41:33.320 --> 01:41:33.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: attention.

asr-002334
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

asr-002335
01:43:39.400 --> 01:43:41.140

asr-002339
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

asr-002340
01:43:49.200 --> 01:43:51.040
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: ay dapat hindi PhilHealth,

asr-002341
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

asr-002342
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

asr-002343
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

asr-002345
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

asr-002346
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

asr-002347
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.

asr-002348
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

asr-002349
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

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: alam ng ating stakeholders na

asr-002351
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,

asr-002352
01:44:13.420 --> 01:44:14.900
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: kasi maraming neural tube

asr-002356
01:44:20.540 --> 01:44:22.760
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: flower fortification with folate.

asr-002357
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

asr-002361
01:44:31.100 --> 01:44:32.880
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: technology acceptors

asr-002362
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

asr-002363
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

asr-002364
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

asr-002365
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

asr-002366
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

asr-002367
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

asr-002368
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

asr-002369
01:44:46.400 --> 01:44:48.540
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: prenatal,

asr-002370
01:44:48.860 --> 01:44:50.700
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: yung eight antenatal

asr-002371
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,

asr-002372
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,

asr-002373
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

asr-002374
01:44:56.680 --> 01:44:57.060
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: President.

asr-002375
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

asr-002376
01:44:59.460 --> 01:45:00.000
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: zero to six.

asr-002377
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.

asr-002378
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.

asr-002379
01:45:17.980 --> 01:45:18.920
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: Yes, Mr. Chair.

asr-002380
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.

asr-002381
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.

asr-002382
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?

asr-002383
01:45:55.480 --> 01:45:59.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And what, on the implementation side, how do we reach?

asr-002384
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.

asr-002385
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.

asr-002386
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?

asr-002387
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.

asr-002388
01:46:27.580 --> 01:46:28.580
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: So, pwede ho nating...

asr-002389
01:46:29.380 --> 01:46:30.480
NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo: I-review yung indicators.

asr-002390
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.

asr-002391
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.

asr-002392
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.

asr-002393
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.

asr-002394
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.

asr-002395
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.

asr-002396
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.

asr-002397
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.

asr-002398
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.

asr-002399
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.

asr-002400
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.

asr-002401
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.

asr-002402
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.

asr-002403
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.

asr-002404
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.

asr-002405
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.

asr-002406
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.

asr-002407
01:47:56.300 --> 01:47:58.380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Naririnig ko may mga bago kayong approaches.

asr-002408
01:47:59.380 --> 01:48:04.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: On nutrition, on immunization, even on inventory management.

asr-002409
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.

asr-002410
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.

asr-002411
01:48:20.440 --> 01:48:24.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: My next topic, Mr. Chairman, with your permission.

asr-002412
01:48:25.080 --> 01:48:29.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And this is on HFEP, yung Health Facilities Enhancement

asr-002413
01:48:29.380 --> 01:48:35.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Program, in which 14.5 billion ang nakuha for next year.

asr-002414
01:48:36.380 --> 01:48:39.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I was also looking at some reports.

asr-002415
01:48:39.680 --> 01:48:43.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is on slide 23.

asr-002416
01:48:47.920 --> 01:48:49.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Slide 23.

asr-002417
01:48:53.270 --> 01:48:56.810
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, nakita namin on, this is a report.

asr-002418
01:48:57.270 --> 01:48:57.930
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kuha ba ito?

asr-002419
01:48:58.870 --> 01:48:59.170
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: We could.

asr-002420
01:48:59.370 --> 01:48:59.810
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kung kuha.

asr-002421
01:49:00.070 --> 01:49:00.410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: No, no.

asr-002422
01:49:00.470 --> 01:49:01.130
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: This is your best.

asr-002423
01:49:01.370 --> 01:49:01.790
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And you.

asr-002424
01:49:01.970 --> 01:49:02.330
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: You watch.

asr-002425
01:49:02.390 --> 01:49:05.670
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is from my DOH report.

asr-002426
01:49:05.810 --> 01:49:07.430
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Again, this is prior to your.

asr-002427
01:49:08.910 --> 01:49:14.310
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sorry, this is COA findings po ito, Secretary.

asr-002428
01:49:14.630 --> 01:49:17.070
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And again, this is prior to your assumption.

asr-002429
01:49:17.970 --> 01:49:23.750
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pero merong 38 projects worth 11 billion na delayed in implementation.

asr-002430
01:49:24.550 --> 01:49:28.270
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Meron 136 projects worth 1.1 billion.

asr-002431
01:49:28.890 --> 01:49:31.250
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Idle, unutilized, non-operational.

asr-002432
01:49:31.250 --> 01:49:38.050
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Merong 1.1 billion, underutilized, and so on and so forth.

asr-002433
01:49:38.250 --> 01:49:44.570
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Merong 227 worth 3.1 billion, unimplemented, not yet started.

asr-002434
01:49:45.530 --> 01:49:50.570
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, the question, and maraming iba-ibang dahilan eh.

asr-002435
01:49:50.670 --> 01:49:53.590
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We went through the COA report, iba-iba yung dahilan.

asr-002436
01:49:54.190 --> 01:50:00.250
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, how do we resolve this, Secretary?

asr-002437
01:50:00.250 --> 01:50:00.370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay.

asr-002438
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%.

asr-002439
01:50:07.950 --> 01:50:09.570
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In some areas, 200%.

asr-002440
01:50:09.570 --> 01:50:10.370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Some areas, 300%.

asr-002441
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.

asr-002442
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.

asr-002443
01:50:25.750 --> 01:50:27.210
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ako, I support capacity building.

asr-002444
01:50:27.350 --> 01:50:29.290
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kailangan natin talaga to increase capacity.

asr-002445
01:50:29.290 --> 01:50:29.370
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay.

asr-002446
01:50:29.370 --> 01:50:33.810
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But there's also another implementation problem pagdating sa HVAP.

asr-002447
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?

asr-002448
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.

asr-002449
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.

asr-002450
01:50:55.270 --> 01:50:58.190
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ang plano ko po ay mag-define.

asr-002451
01:50:58.190 --> 01:51:02.170
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ano ba dapat ang basic standard of a typical RHU?

asr-002452
01:51:02.810 --> 01:51:04.230
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And then, ano po yung next level?

asr-002453
01:51:04.450 --> 01:51:07.450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kailangan ba in every district may isang super health center?

asr-002454
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?

asr-002455
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.

asr-002456
01:51:23.530 --> 01:51:25.730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Allocative efficiency, Sen.

asr-002457
01:51:25.730 --> 01:51:27.030
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Para po alam natin.

asr-002458
01:51:27.230 --> 01:51:28.110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi ngayon nga po.

asr-002459
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.

asr-002460
01:51:37.410 --> 01:51:40.570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Meron pong tinatawag in the U.S. Certificate of Needs eh.

asr-002461
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.

asr-002462
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,

asr-002463
01:51:58.190 --> 01:52:00.270
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: or a regional hospital.

asr-002464
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.

asr-002465
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,

asr-002466
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,

asr-002467
01:52:26.190 --> 01:52:27.190
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: or yung...

asr-002468
01:52:28.190 --> 01:52:32.450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: partially completed but not operating, kulang ba naman power.

asr-002469
01:52:32.550 --> 01:52:33.490
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, we have to analyze.

asr-002470
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,

asr-002471
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.

asr-002472
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...

asr-002473
01:52:57.750 --> 01:52:58.870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: needs to satisfy.

asr-002474
01:52:59.510 --> 01:53:01.850
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Otherwise po, hindi namin sinasama as priority.

asr-002475
01:53:02.050 --> 01:53:03.910
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi pa na-transfer yung title ng lupa.

asr-002476
01:53:04.430 --> 01:53:08.750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Wala ka namang ability to put up your...

asr-002477
01:53:09.290 --> 01:53:10.870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Alimbawa po, may lumapit sa amin.

asr-002478
01:53:11.030 --> 01:53:11.750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Bakit di kami na...

asr-002479
01:53:12.450 --> 01:53:13.050
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na...

asr-002480
01:53:13.050 --> 01:53:13.110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na...

asr-002481
01:53:13.110 --> 01:53:14.290
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kaklassify as...

asr-002482
01:53:14.290 --> 01:53:16.210
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: hindi nyo pa nabibigay yung CT scan sa amin.

asr-002483
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.

asr-002484
01:53:22.110 --> 01:53:23.350
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po yung aming iano.

asr-002485
01:53:23.490 --> 01:53:26.870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Plus yung manpower availability rin po doon sa area.

asr-002486
01:53:26.870 --> 01:53:27.670
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Either we...

asr-002487
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

asr-002488
01:53:32.910 --> 01:53:34.550
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that they will provide the manpower.

asr-002489
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.

asr-002490
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,

asr-002491
01:53:45.710 --> 01:53:47.370
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat po, handa na rin yun.

asr-002492
01:53:47.510 --> 01:53:50.250
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po yung tinatahi-tahi po namin.

asr-002493
01:53:52.770 --> 01:53:55.030
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary, two things.

asr-002494
01:53:55.030 --> 01:53:57.190
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Number one, yung mga existing projects.

asr-002495
01:53:57.670 --> 01:53:58.270
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Wala na flash.

asr-002496
01:53:59.290 --> 01:54:00.950
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Paki-flash ulit, Elena.

asr-002497
01:54:02.190 --> 01:54:04.790
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito ka lang matapos at mag-operate yan.

asr-002498
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.

asr-002499
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?

asr-002500
01:54:19.830 --> 01:54:21.770
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: How are you going to address that?

asr-002501
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?

asr-002502
01:54:26.950 --> 01:54:27.550
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For example,

asr-002503
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.

asr-002504
01:54:41.610 --> 01:54:44.470
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's where PhilHealth, universal healthcare will come in.

asr-002505
01:54:44.830 --> 01:54:48.610
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, talagang sakit ng gobyerno pag nagpatayo, delay.

asr-002506
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.

asr-002507
01:54:57.670 --> 01:55:01.510
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Of the government agency.

asr-002508
01:55:01.690 --> 01:55:04.050
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, first question is, how do we address this?

asr-002509
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?

asr-002510
01:55:14.010 --> 01:55:14.770
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun nga po.

asr-002511
01:55:14.910 --> 01:55:15.790
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Sir Chairman, excuse me.

asr-002512
01:55:15.970 --> 01:55:16.710
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, send me.

asr-002513
01:55:16.810 --> 01:55:18.910
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Tutulungan ko lang sa magot si Secretary Mercado.

asr-002514
01:55:19.030 --> 01:55:21.130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Alam ko nahihiyas siyang sabihin yung totoo.

asr-002515
01:55:23.530 --> 01:55:27.130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ang major cost ng delay, ano, at saka yung mga underutilized.

asr-002516
01:55:27.670 --> 01:55:28.970
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Utilization ng pondo.

asr-002517
01:55:29.570 --> 01:55:30.410
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Insertions, diba?

asr-002518
01:55:31.490 --> 01:55:35.290
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, hindi kasalanan ng DOH kasi ito yung post-NEP.

asr-002519
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.

asr-002520
01:55:43.610 --> 01:55:47.150
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Because of insertions made by legislators.

asr-002521
01:55:48.770 --> 01:55:49.450
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Huwag nang kayong mahiya.

asr-002522
01:55:49.570 --> 01:55:50.470
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yan naman totoo, diba?

asr-002523
01:55:52.510 --> 01:55:53.110
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Partly.

asr-002524
01:55:54.010 --> 01:55:56.730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya po, kahit may mga request pong gano'n.

asr-002525
01:55:56.750 --> 01:55:57.150
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yan, yan.

asr-002526
01:55:57.150 --> 01:55:57.650
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yan lang po namin.

asr-002527
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.

asr-002528
01:56:02.330 --> 01:56:02.890
Senator Panfilo Lacson: But don't worry.

asr-002529
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

asr-002530
01:56:12.490 --> 01:56:17.130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: na kaya nagkakaroon ng underutilization, mga hindi na-implement.

asr-002531
01:56:17.590 --> 01:56:19.230
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ganyan sa DPWH eh.

asr-002532
01:56:20.190 --> 01:56:23.290
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi paano i-implement kung hindi naman kayo nagplano?

asr-002533
01:56:23.870 --> 01:56:25.610
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kung saan-saan in-insert.

asr-002534
01:56:25.610 --> 01:56:27.210
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Ito yung sa amendments.

asr-002535
01:56:27.670 --> 01:56:28.910
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Period of amendments.

asr-002536
01:56:29.150 --> 01:56:30.010
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kanya-kanya singitan.

asr-002537
01:56:31.470 --> 01:56:34.130
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Tapos hindi naman ma-implement kasi wala sa plano ninyo.

asr-002538
01:56:35.110 --> 01:56:36.490
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Wala sa priorities ninyo.

asr-002539
01:56:37.130 --> 01:56:38.190
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Wala sa needs ninyo.

asr-002540
01:56:39.950 --> 01:56:44.350
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Yun namang legislator na nagsingit, wala rin naman siyang coordination sa DOH.

asr-002541
01:56:46.050 --> 01:56:47.850
Senator Panfilo Lacson: It's bad enough na nag-insert.

asr-002542
01:56:48.030 --> 01:56:51.170
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Pero at least man lang, prior to insertion or amendment,

asr-002543
01:56:51.610 --> 01:56:54.910
Senator Panfilo Lacson: nagsabi, bumusin naman lang na ito ba kaya nating implement.

asr-002544
01:56:55.790 --> 01:56:57.650
Senator Panfilo Lacson: So, huwag na ka mahiya, Sekretary.

asr-002545
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.

asr-002546
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.

asr-002547
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.

asr-002548
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.

asr-002549
01:57:19.950 --> 01:57:23.670
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung slide 20.

asr-002550
01:57:26.160 --> 01:57:27.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Slide 20, Elena.

asr-002551
01:57:27.440 --> 01:57:27.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yan.

asr-002552
01:57:31.830 --> 01:57:32.070
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yan.

asr-002553
01:57:32.070 --> 01:57:35.030
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito yung super health centers.

asr-002554
01:57:35.750 --> 01:57:39.550
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About 2.9 billion completed but not operational.

asr-002555
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.

asr-002556
01:57:45.970 --> 01:57:49.410
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Meaning, hindi alam kung anong situation na.

asr-002557
01:57:50.070 --> 01:57:55.070
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, ito rin isang mga nakita namin problema.

asr-002558
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

asr-002559
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.

asr-002560
01:58:07.570 --> 01:58:09.150
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi sila makakuha ng nurse.

asr-002561
01:58:09.690 --> 01:58:11.110
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ayaw nilang bumili ng gamot.

asr-002562
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.

asr-002563
01:58:17.750 --> 01:58:19.830
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, nagiging problema rin.

asr-002564
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.

asr-002565
01:58:30.610 --> 01:58:38.590
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, maraming lumalapit sa aking mga governors na sabi niya,

asr-002566
01:58:38.770 --> 01:58:42.830
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: pwede bang i-restrict niyo yung mga HFEP projects?

asr-002567
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.

asr-002568
01:58:50.570 --> 01:58:53.650
Senator Panfilo Lacson: These are institutional problems that must be addressed.

asr-002569
01:58:54.690 --> 01:58:58.310
Senator Panfilo Lacson: This is beyond your level already.

asr-002570
01:58:59.450 --> 01:59:00.490
Senator Panfilo Lacson: Kasi pagdating ng budget,

asr-002571
01:59:00.610 --> 01:59:01.930
Senator Panfilo Lacson: the deliberations,

asr-002572
01:59:02.450 --> 01:59:04.070
Senator Panfilo Lacson: medyo, anyway.

asr-002573
01:59:05.270 --> 01:59:06.570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yung pagka

asr-002574
01:59:06.570 --> 01:59:08.130
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at least set the rules nga po,

asr-002575
01:59:08.430 --> 01:59:10.350
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung may mga ganyong pagkakataon,

asr-002576
01:59:10.510 --> 01:59:12.250
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat naman mag-align dahil nga po

asr-002577
01:59:12.250 --> 01:59:14.590
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nasasayang. Then secondly nga po,

asr-002578
01:59:14.710 --> 01:59:16.410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: even the way we download and

asr-002579
01:59:16.410 --> 01:59:18.550
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: we procure. So, ako gawin na natin

asr-002580
01:59:18.550 --> 01:59:20.410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: just like what you said earlier po,

asr-002581
01:59:20.930 --> 01:59:22.890
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Senwin, na yung local government,

asr-002582
01:59:23.050 --> 01:59:24.570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasi kung sila, may responsibility

asr-002583
01:59:24.570 --> 01:59:26.530
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: rin sila at meron silang accountability

asr-002584
01:59:26.530 --> 01:59:28.010
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung di nila ma-operate.

asr-002585
01:59:28.310 --> 01:59:30.450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi sila may

asr-002586
01:59:30.450 --> 01:59:31.870
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: input na sila eh.

asr-002587
01:59:32.210 --> 01:59:34.310
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And thirdly po, doon sa prospect po ng

asr-002588
01:59:34.310 --> 01:59:36.450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: PPP, pinag-usapan na po namin

asr-002589
01:59:36.450 --> 01:59:38.350
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yan sa PISAC. Ako rin po ay nakaupo doon

asr-002590
01:59:38.350 --> 01:59:40.050
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sa Private Sector Advisory Council.

asr-002591
01:59:40.550 --> 01:59:42.770
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang hiling daw po ng private sector,

asr-002592
01:59:43.370 --> 01:59:44.890
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: eh, syempre, mamumuhunang kami.

asr-002593
01:59:45.450 --> 01:59:46.390
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Huwag naman akalain

asr-002594
01:59:46.390 --> 01:59:47.470
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga tao na

asr-002595
01:59:47.470 --> 01:59:49.690
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: paano kami magiging

asr-002596
01:59:49.690 --> 01:59:51.570
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at least break-even.

asr-002597
01:59:51.830 --> 01:59:54.510
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: There's a financial model that should be

asr-002598
01:59:54.510 --> 01:59:55.410
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: well thought of.

asr-002599
01:59:56.170 --> 01:59:58.330
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya sabi namin, meron naman pong

asr-002600
01:59:58.330 --> 02:00:00.460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yakap na na nagbabayad.

asr-002601
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?

asr-002602
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.

asr-002603
02:00:39.780 --> 02:00:43.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Secretary. And lastly, Mr. Chairman.

asr-002604
02:00:43.500 --> 02:00:43.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. Chair.

asr-002605
02:00:44.120 --> 02:00:45.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's why yung 2020.

asr-002606
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.

asr-002607
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.

asr-002608
02:01:17.000 --> 02:01:17.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So patayin.

asr-002609
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.

asr-002610
02:01:24.400 --> 02:01:26.120
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mr. Chair, Senate President, if I may lang.

asr-002611
02:01:26.480 --> 02:01:27.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Taposin ko na lang.

asr-002612
02:01:27.300 --> 02:01:29.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Taposin ko na lang.

asr-002613
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.

asr-002614
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.

asr-002615
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.

asr-002616
02:02:00.740 --> 02:02:01.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

asr-002617
02:02:02.480 --> 02:02:03.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, our Senate President.

asr-002618
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.

asr-002619
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.

asr-002620
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.

asr-002621
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.

asr-002622
02:02:33.980 --> 02:02:34.460
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yan, yan.

asr-002623
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.

asr-002624
02:02:45.460 --> 02:02:46.800
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Now, Senator.

asr-002625
02:02:47.680 --> 02:02:52.580
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Senate President Win Gatchalian, na mabigyan ng prioridad yung completion.

asr-002626
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.

asr-002627
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.

asr-002628
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

asr-002629
02:03:17.680 --> 02:03:19.160
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na lugar, yung mga islands.

asr-002630
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.

asr-002631
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.

asr-002632
02:03:36.760 --> 02:03:40.220
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Halimbawa na lang po yung Balot Island sa Mindanao.

asr-002633
02:03:40.360 --> 02:03:43.340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 4 hours yun, yun yung na-earthquake recently.

asr-002634
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.

asr-002635
02:03:47.680 --> 02:03:49.460
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ngayon, meron na silang super health center.

asr-002636
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.

asr-002637
02:03:54.020 --> 02:03:55.420
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tulad ng Tingloy, Batangas.

asr-002638
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.

asr-002639
02:04:01.680 --> 02:04:05.140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Willing yung LGUs, complement each other.

asr-002640
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.

asr-002641
02:04:10.560 --> 02:04:11.660
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mag-aralan yung mabuti.

asr-002642
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.

asr-002643
02:04:17.680 --> 02:04:19.300
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kung kaya ba nilang mag-operate.

asr-002644
02:04:19.640 --> 02:04:23.440
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Marami pong mga LGUs na willingly na mag-operate po.

asr-002645
02:04:23.920 --> 02:04:24.860
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: May kakayahan.

asr-002646
02:04:25.080 --> 02:04:27.660
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung iba naman po talaga totoo, hindi rin po nilang kaya.

asr-002647
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.

asr-002648
02:04:33.200 --> 02:04:36.200
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kayo po yung pwedeng magpa-check kung meron ba silang kakayahan.

asr-002649
02:04:37.000 --> 02:04:39.940
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Complement each other lang po ang DOH at yung LGUs.

asr-002650
02:04:40.320 --> 02:04:42.840
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Malaking tulong po yun sa mga liblib na lugar.

asr-002651
02:04:43.160 --> 02:04:44.920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Marami pong bundok dito sa atin.

asr-002652
02:04:45.300 --> 02:04:47.400
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Halimbawa na lang po sa Lake Sebu,

asr-002653
02:04:47.680 --> 02:04:49.880
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: sa South Cotabato.

asr-002654
02:04:50.000 --> 02:04:52.700
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Two hours yung biyahe doon sa bundok nila.

asr-002655
02:04:53.480 --> 02:04:55.440
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tuwang-tuwa po yung mayor doon.

asr-002656
02:04:55.600 --> 02:04:58.620
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At willing naman po silang mag-operate.

asr-002657
02:04:59.140 --> 02:05:02.140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Importante lang po, supporta po ng HPEP.

asr-002658
02:05:02.860 --> 02:05:04.040
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: To make it operational.

asr-002659
02:05:04.980 --> 02:05:09.720
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: During my time as chairman ng Committee on Health,

asr-002660
02:05:10.440 --> 02:05:13.800
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: yan po ang parati kong pinapaalala sa mga DOH secretary.

asr-002661
02:05:13.800 --> 02:05:15.340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: To make it operational.

asr-002662
02:05:16.200 --> 02:05:17.340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At huwag pong iiwan.

asr-002663
02:05:17.680 --> 02:05:19.100
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sa White Elephant.

asr-002664
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,

asr-002665
02:05:27.020 --> 02:05:30.960
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Naunahin po, bigyan ng prioridad yung mga completion muna.

asr-002666
02:05:31.280 --> 02:05:32.240
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Huwag yung mga bago.

asr-002667
02:05:32.800 --> 02:05:34.940
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tapusin muna lahat ito para magamit po.

asr-002668
02:05:35.020 --> 02:05:39.100
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sayang naman po na maiwan po siyang nakatiwangwang dyan.

asr-002669
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.

asr-002670
02:05:47.680 --> 02:05:50.260
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, make it operational.

asr-002671
02:05:50.840 --> 02:05:53.080
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: All throughout the years, yan po ang palala ko sa inyo.

asr-002672
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.

asr-002673
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.

asr-002674
02:06:03.480 --> 02:06:09.740
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Anyway, maraming salamat my esteemed colleagues and the Department of Health.

asr-002675
02:06:09.740 --> 02:06:14.920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Congratulations po, Secretary Mercado, on your appointment as Secretary of Health.

asr-002676
02:06:15.020 --> 02:06:16.740
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: As well as Doktora Beverly.

asr-002677
02:06:16.740 --> 02:06:20.520
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Lorraine Ho, on her designation as PhilHealth President.

asr-002678
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

asr-002679
02:06:28.520 --> 02:06:31.040
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: and its attached agencies and corporations.

asr-002680
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.

asr-002681
02:06:38.180 --> 02:06:39.020
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Health is wealth.

asr-002682
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.

asr-002683
02:06:44.860 --> 02:06:46.720
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Maraming Pilipino din po ang kailangan.

asr-002684
02:06:46.740 --> 02:06:49.820
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang tulong medikal na dapat tugunan ng ating gobyerno.

asr-002685
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.

asr-002686
02:06:57.800 --> 02:07:01.380
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bago po kayo na-appoint as Secretary of Health.

asr-002687
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

asr-002688
02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:16.300
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: provides for the earmarking of excise taxes on certain products.

asr-002689
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

asr-002690
02:07:21.720 --> 02:07:25.140
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: for the implementation of the Universal Health Care Act,

asr-002691
02:07:25.660 --> 02:07:29.280
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: for medical assistance and health facilities enhancement program,

asr-002692
02:07:29.840 --> 02:07:33.380
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: for an attainment of the sustainable development goals.

asr-002693
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.

asr-002694
02:07:41.360 --> 02:07:46.060
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ito po yung batas na ipinasapo dito noong 17th Congress,

asr-002695
02:07:46.060 --> 02:07:51.980
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: principally sponsored by our Chairperson, Sen. J.B. Ejército.

asr-002696
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.

asr-002697
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,

asr-002698
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.

asr-002699
02:08:12.120 --> 02:08:15.100
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Finally, narilis po yung 27 billion.

asr-002700
02:08:16.060 --> 02:08:18.500
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sa ating pangungulit, pagpupursige rito.

asr-002701
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.

asr-002702
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.

asr-002703
02:08:31.300 --> 02:08:33.520
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pinaghirapan po ito ng mga health workers natin.

asr-002704
02:08:33.900 --> 02:08:34.980
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pinagpawisan po nila ito.

asr-002705
02:08:34.980 --> 02:08:41.480
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana po yung mabalikan nyo po itong mga appeals na ito.

asr-002706
02:08:42.180 --> 02:08:45.340
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dahil pinaghirapan ng mga health workers na.

asr-002707
02:08:46.060 --> 02:08:49.500
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana po mabigyan po ito ng pansin.

asr-002708
02:08:49.720 --> 02:08:51.880
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Anyway, balikan ko lang po itong sin tax.

asr-002709
02:08:52.140 --> 02:08:53.420
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Paki, ano lang po ng slide.

asr-002710
02:08:56.780 --> 02:09:01.700
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Noong 2024, paki flash lang po sa screen yung.

asr-002711
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.

asr-002712
02:09:17.970 --> 02:09:21.890
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dapat, batas po ito na ipinasan natin dito sa Congress.

asr-002713
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.

asr-002714
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.

asr-002715
02:09:48.240 --> 02:09:49.360
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Or ito po yung sin tax.

asr-002716
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.

asr-002717
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.

asr-002718
02:10:05.710 --> 02:10:09.150
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero ang na-aprubahan po natin sa GAA ay 61 billion.

asr-002719
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.

asr-002720
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.

asr-002721
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.

asr-002722
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.

asr-002723
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.

asr-002724
02:10:54.030 --> 02:10:57.770
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At hindi na po natin alam kung saan po ito nagamit.

asr-002725
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.

asr-002726
02:11:06.270 --> 02:11:10.450
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At finally, salamat sa Supreme Court na pag-desisyon na nila.

asr-002727
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.

asr-002728
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.

asr-002729
02:11:30.570 --> 02:11:33.770
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero wala na, natransfer na. Dapat nagamit po yun.

asr-002730
02:11:34.450 --> 02:11:41.490
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, inaprubahan po 61 billion sa GAA.

asr-002731
02:11:42.950 --> 02:11:46.410
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bakit meron pong 60 billion na naitransfer sa National Treasury?

asr-002732
02:11:47.250 --> 02:11:49.790
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ba't nagkaroon ng excess funds ang PhilHealth?

asr-002733
02:11:49.790 --> 02:11:52.890
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, wala talagang excess funds na tinatawag ang PhilHealth.

asr-002734
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.

asr-002735
02:12:03.310 --> 02:12:09.130
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nagpanik po yung PhilHealth, then led by Mandy Ledesma.

asr-002736
02:12:10.330 --> 02:12:13.710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nagkaroon sila ng meeting, nung Disyembre, board meeting.

asr-002737
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.

asr-002738
02:12:21.950 --> 02:12:22.990
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bakit nila ginawa?

asr-002739
02:12:23.070 --> 02:12:29.110
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nung Disyembre, yung meeting, eh pwede naman nilang gawin sana.

asr-002740
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.

asr-002741
02:12:42.170 --> 02:12:44.490
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, wala talagang excess funds, ibig sabihin.

asr-002742
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.

asr-002743
02:12:50.910 --> 02:12:52.630
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pagdating po ng...

asr-002744
02:12:52.630 --> 02:12:54.630
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, ibig sabihin ito ha, walang excess.

asr-002745
02:12:54.670 --> 02:12:58.670
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero, meron pong naitransfer na 60 billion nung 2024.

asr-002746
02:12:59.750 --> 02:13:00.790
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nakakalungkot po yun.

asr-002747
02:13:01.350 --> 02:13:06.010
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Maraming mga pasyente, natatanggihan, walang matakbuhan.

asr-002748
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.

asr-002749
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.

asr-002750
02:13:23.670 --> 02:13:25.870
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At napakababa po.

asr-002751
02:13:26.270 --> 02:13:28.710
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron po isang coverage ng PhilHealth.

asr-002752
02:13:28.810 --> 02:13:33.690
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron po isang provincial health officer ng Camarines, sa Norte.

asr-002753
02:13:34.410 --> 02:13:35.250
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-admit po siya.

asr-002754
02:13:35.430 --> 02:13:36.390
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nasabi ko na po ito.

asr-002755
02:13:36.570 --> 02:13:37.270
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-admit po siya.

asr-002756
02:13:38.750 --> 02:13:42.310
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 6 million ang billing niya.

asr-002757
02:13:42.570 --> 02:13:44.750
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang sinagot ng PhilHealth, 29,000.

asr-002758
02:13:44.850 --> 02:13:45.750
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-admit siya muli.

asr-002759
02:13:47.490 --> 02:13:50.290
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: 4 million ang sinagot ng PhilHealth, 27,000.

asr-002760
02:13:50.290 --> 02:13:52.290
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: A total of 57,000.

asr-002761
02:13:54.390 --> 02:13:55.950
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Out of 10 million.

asr-002762
02:13:56.270 --> 02:13:57.850
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang hospital billing niya.

asr-002763
02:13:57.930 --> 02:13:59.370
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: That is less than 1%.

asr-002764
02:13:59.370 --> 02:14:02.050
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, tinaasan ng PhilHealth noong Disyembre.

asr-002765
02:14:02.670 --> 02:14:03.950
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Across the board.

asr-002766
02:14:05.450 --> 02:14:06.390
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Across all rates.

asr-002767
02:14:07.310 --> 02:14:09.070
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kaya binila, taasan ng 50%.

asr-002768
02:14:09.070 --> 02:14:13.390
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, tinaasan ng 50% ng 57,000.

asr-002769
02:14:13.470 --> 02:14:15.030
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: That is 28,000 something.

asr-002770
02:14:15.650 --> 02:14:19.410
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So, less than 1% pa rin ng nako-cover ng PhilHealth.

asr-002771
02:14:19.510 --> 02:14:21.770
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Napakaliit pa rin po ang nako-cover ng PhilHealth.

asr-002772
02:14:23.650 --> 02:14:26.250
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: I'm sure ilan po sa inyo rito pag na-admit.

asr-002773
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

asr-002774
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.

asr-002775
02:14:41.210 --> 02:14:43.070
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Na-avail nyo na ho yung PhilHealth services.

asr-002776
02:14:43.770 --> 02:14:44.350
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Maliit ho ba?

asr-002777
02:14:46.230 --> 02:14:47.270
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Naniniwala po kayo na maliit?

02:34:30.160 --> 02:34:32.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Of course,

asr-003364
02:34:32.160 --> 02:34:34.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: it really depends on the

asr-003365
02:34:34.160 --> 02:34:36.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: budget that's

asr-003366
02:34:36.160 --> 02:34:38.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: allowed or that's allocated

asr-003367
02:34:38.160 --> 02:34:40.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to us. In our current

asr-003368
02:34:40.160 --> 02:34:42.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: estimates,

asr-003369
02:34:42.160 --> 02:34:44.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: in

asr-003370
02:34:44.160 --> 02:34:46.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 2028,

asr-003371
02:34:46.160 --> 02:34:48.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the PhilHealth

asr-003372
02:34:48.160 --> 02:34:50.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: budget needed under

asr-003373
02:34:50.160 --> 02:34:52.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the PDP target to reach

asr-003374
02:34:52.160 --> 02:34:54.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: this is actually around 800

asr-003375
02:34:54.160 --> 02:34:56.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: billion. And if we wanted

asr-003376
02:34:56.160 --> 02:34:58.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to increase

asr-003377
02:34:58.160 --> 02:35:00.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yes, basically, yun sir.

asr-003378
02:35:00.160 --> 02:35:02.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So it's really dependent

asr-003379
02:35:02.160 --> 02:35:04.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: on our ability to

asr-003380
02:35:04.160 --> 02:35:06.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fund,

asr-003381
02:35:06.160 --> 02:35:08.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to increase the budget, and so

asr-003382
02:35:08.160 --> 02:35:10.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: commensurate din po doon

asr-003383
02:35:10.160 --> 02:35:12.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung pagbaba ng OOP po.

asr-003384
02:35:12.160 --> 02:35:14.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For

asr-003385
02:35:14.160 --> 02:35:16.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: this year,

asr-003386
02:35:16.160 --> 02:35:18.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Phil had requested 376

asr-003387
02:35:18.160 --> 02:35:20.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: billion, but DBM only

asr-003388
02:35:20.160 --> 02:35:22.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: provided 74 billion. Tama, no?

asr-003389
02:35:22.160 --> 02:35:24.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: How much of the reduction

asr-003390
02:35:24.160 --> 02:35:26.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: relates to

asr-003391
02:35:26.160 --> 02:35:28.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: subsidies for indirect

asr-003392
02:35:28.160 --> 02:35:30.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: contributors?

asr-003393
02:35:30.160 --> 02:35:32.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Benefit expansion,

asr-003394
02:35:32.160 --> 02:35:34.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: tong yakap, medicine,

asr-003395
02:35:34.160 --> 02:35:36.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: package benefits, zero balance

asr-003396
02:35:36.160 --> 02:35:38.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: billing, provider

asr-003397
02:35:38.160 --> 02:35:40.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: reimbursements, or other

asr-003398
02:35:40.160 --> 02:35:42.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: expenditures? So

asr-003399
02:35:42.160 --> 02:35:44.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: siguro yung gusto natin malaman.

asr-003400
02:35:44.160 --> 02:35:46.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And then, siyempre,

asr-003401
02:35:46.160 --> 02:35:48.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: from 376 billion to 74

asr-003402
02:35:48.160 --> 02:35:50.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: billion, I'd just like to ask also

asr-003403
02:35:50.160 --> 02:35:52.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: how much is the bare minimum

asr-003404
02:35:52.160 --> 02:35:54.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that PhilHealth would be needing

asr-003405
02:35:54.160 --> 02:35:56.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that these programs

asr-003406
02:35:56.160 --> 02:35:58.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: may not be at least severely affected?

asr-003407
02:35:58.160 --> 02:36:00.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Or at least going to that goal pa rin tayo?

asr-003408
02:36:00.160 --> 02:36:02.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung tingin nyong may

asr-003409
02:36:02.160 --> 02:36:04.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at least bare minimum

asr-003410
02:36:04.160 --> 02:36:06.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that we can

asr-003411
02:36:06.160 --> 02:36:08.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we can

asr-003412
02:36:08.160 --> 02:36:10.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: augment, no? So that kung

asr-003413
02:36:10.160 --> 02:36:12.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ganun kalaki yung difference.

asr-003414
02:36:12.160 --> 02:36:14.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So what

asr-003415
02:36:14.160 --> 02:36:16.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: figure if there is?

asr-003416
02:36:16.160 --> 02:36:18.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sige pa.

asr-003417
02:36:18.160 --> 02:36:20.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, we mentioned

asr-003418
02:36:20.160 --> 02:36:22.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: in our briefing to you that

asr-003419
02:36:22.160 --> 02:36:24.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: when the

asr-003420
02:36:24.160 --> 02:36:26.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 170 billion

asr-003421
02:36:26.160 --> 02:36:28.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: that was originally proposed

asr-003422
02:36:28.160 --> 02:36:30.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: was based on a calculation of

asr-003423
02:36:30.160 --> 02:36:32.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: estimate number of indirect contributors

asr-003424
02:36:32.160 --> 02:36:34.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: with a set premium

asr-003425
02:36:34.160 --> 02:36:36.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: rate. However, we

asr-003426
02:36:36.160 --> 02:36:38.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: understand that another way of

asr-003427
02:36:38.160 --> 02:36:40.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: computing that would be

asr-003428
02:36:40.160 --> 02:36:42.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: what would be our

asr-003429
02:36:42.160 --> 02:36:44.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: sort of like break-even

asr-003430
02:36:44.160 --> 02:36:46.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: cost. And if

asr-003431
02:36:46.160 --> 02:36:48.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we will base it on current

asr-003432
02:36:48.160 --> 02:36:50.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: benefits and current utilization

asr-003433
02:36:50.160 --> 02:36:52.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: rate of indirect contributors

asr-003434
02:36:52.160 --> 02:36:54.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: projected for this whole

asr-003435
02:36:54.160 --> 02:36:56.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: year, that would be

asr-003436
02:36:56.160 --> 02:36:58.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: able to help us estimate what would

asr-003437
02:36:58.160 --> 02:37:00.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: also be our payout at the minimum

asr-003438
02:37:00.160 --> 02:37:02.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: next year. And the total payout is

asr-003439
02:37:02.160 --> 02:37:04.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: around 244 billion.

asr-003440
02:37:04.160 --> 02:37:06.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So 244 minus

asr-003441
02:37:06.160 --> 02:37:08.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the current allocated

asr-003442
02:37:08.160 --> 02:37:10.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 74, that would be the deficit.

asr-003443
02:37:10.160 --> 02:37:12.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: About 200

asr-003444
02:37:12.160 --> 02:37:14.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: About 244 po.

asr-003445
02:37:14.160 --> 02:37:16.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 244.

asr-003446
02:37:16.160 --> 02:37:18.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So what is the

asr-003447
02:37:18.160 --> 02:37:20.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: actuarially appropriated government

asr-003448
02:37:20.160 --> 02:37:22.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: subsidy required to cover all

asr-003449
02:37:22.160 --> 02:37:26.370
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: indirect contributors?

asr-003450
02:37:26.370 --> 02:37:28.370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: That was the original

asr-003451
02:37:28.370 --> 02:37:30.370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: submission.

asr-003452
02:37:30.370 --> 02:37:32.370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Original submission we had

asr-003453
02:37:32.370 --> 02:37:34.370
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: which was 370.

asr-003454
02:37:34.370 --> 02:37:39.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay.

asr-003455
02:37:39.500 --> 02:37:41.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung ano na lang po yung usual,

asr-003456
02:37:41.500 --> 02:37:43.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it was

asr-003457
02:37:43.500 --> 02:37:45.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: brought out

asr-003458
02:37:45.500 --> 02:37:47.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: earlier yung po ni

asr-003459
02:37:47.500 --> 02:37:49.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dr. Bongo. How can we increase

asr-003460
02:37:49.500 --> 02:37:51.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: field health participation in hospital bills?

asr-003461
02:37:51.500 --> 02:37:53.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi ito naman talaga

asr-003462
02:37:53.500 --> 02:37:55.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: UHC, reducing the

asr-003463
02:37:55.500 --> 02:37:57.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: out-of-pocket expense

asr-003464
02:37:57.500 --> 02:37:59.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that even the middle class and the

asr-003465
02:37:59.500 --> 02:38:01.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: direct contributors may feel the benefit

asr-003466
02:38:01.500 --> 02:38:03.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: right now. Kasi at least malaking bagay

asr-003467
02:38:03.500 --> 02:38:05.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung zero balance billing and other

asr-003468
02:38:05.500 --> 02:38:07.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: benefits. Pero yung

asr-003469
02:38:07.500 --> 02:38:09.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: middle class kasi na

asr-003470
02:38:09.500 --> 02:38:11.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sila yung direct contributors

asr-003471
02:38:11.500 --> 02:38:13.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: they feel that sometimes they are

asr-003472
02:38:13.500 --> 02:38:15.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: shortchanged. Bisa 100,000

asr-003473
02:38:15.500 --> 02:38:17.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung billing. Tapos

asr-003474
02:38:17.500 --> 02:38:19.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang field health participation is 5,000

asr-003475
02:38:19.500 --> 02:38:21.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to 8,000 lang. So

asr-003476
02:38:21.500 --> 02:38:23.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: what can we do? Is it

asr-003477
02:38:23.500 --> 02:38:25.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: increase in subsidy

asr-003478
02:38:25.500 --> 02:38:27.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: more subsidy so that we can increase

asr-003479
02:38:27.500 --> 02:38:29.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the participation? Or is it yung

asr-003480
02:38:29.500 --> 02:38:31.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: case rates?

asr-003481
02:38:31.500 --> 02:38:33.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na-update na po

asr-003482
02:38:33.500 --> 02:38:35.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: natin. So sige pa.

asr-003483
02:38:37.500 --> 02:38:39.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, so we have multiple

asr-003484
02:38:39.500 --> 02:38:41.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: strategies to address that.

asr-003485
02:38:41.500 --> 02:38:43.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Definitely,

asr-003486
02:38:43.500 --> 02:38:45.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we need to be able to

asr-003487
02:38:45.500 --> 02:38:47.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: control some of the

asr-003488
02:38:47.500 --> 02:38:49.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: expenses, right?

asr-003489
02:38:49.500 --> 02:38:51.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: We can't keep increasing the rates

asr-003490
02:38:51.500 --> 02:38:53.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and that would just result into

asr-003491
02:38:53.500 --> 02:38:55.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: unnecessary inflation. So

asr-003492
02:38:55.500 --> 02:38:57.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: for that, our

asr-003493
02:38:57.500 --> 02:38:59.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: goal is to be able to negotiate

asr-003494
02:38:59.500 --> 02:39:01.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: more directly with hospitals

asr-003495
02:39:01.500 --> 02:39:03.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and that would mean the

asr-003496
02:39:03.500 --> 02:39:05.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: hospitals needing to work with their

asr-003497
02:39:05.500 --> 02:39:07.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: physicians. And in parallel,

asr-003498
02:39:07.500 --> 02:39:09.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we are working with the medical societies

asr-003499
02:39:09.500 --> 02:39:11.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to look at how much we may

asr-003500
02:39:11.500 --> 02:39:13.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: be able to work with them

asr-003501
02:39:13.500 --> 02:39:15.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to sort of standardize

asr-003502
02:39:15.500 --> 02:39:17.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: some of the professional fees

asr-003503
02:39:17.500 --> 02:39:19.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: at least for the most common rates. So

asr-003504
02:39:19.500 --> 02:39:21.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: that would be the first one. Second

asr-003505
02:39:21.500 --> 02:39:23.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: would be for hospitals that agree

asr-003506
02:39:23.500 --> 02:39:25.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to increase their no balance

asr-003507
02:39:25.500 --> 02:39:27.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: billing beds. Ngayon naman po required

asr-003508
02:39:27.500 --> 02:39:29.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: lang yung government hospital

asr-003509
02:39:29.500 --> 02:39:31.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng 90% and yung private

asr-003510
02:39:31.500 --> 02:39:33.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng 10%.

asr-003511
02:39:33.500 --> 02:39:35.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Those who will abide by

asr-003512
02:39:35.500 --> 02:39:37.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: those numbers or even increase

asr-003513
02:39:37.500 --> 02:39:39.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: more, we are

asr-003514
02:39:39.500 --> 02:39:41.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: contemplating to do

asr-003515
02:39:41.500 --> 02:39:43.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: global budget for them or advance

asr-003516
02:39:43.500 --> 02:39:45.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: payments. The UHC law

asr-003517
02:39:45.500 --> 02:39:47.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: also specifically

asr-003518
02:39:47.500 --> 02:39:49.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mentioned to use

asr-003519
02:39:49.500 --> 02:39:51.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: diagnosis-related groupings, meaning

asr-003520
02:39:51.500 --> 02:39:53.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ngayon po kahit tinaasa natin

asr-003521
02:39:53.500 --> 02:39:55.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung case rate natin, we

asr-003522
02:39:55.500 --> 02:39:57.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: expect that for

asr-003523
02:39:57.500 --> 02:39:59.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: patients with comorbidities,

asr-003524
02:39:59.500 --> 02:40:01.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: older age, etc.,

asr-003525
02:40:01.500 --> 02:40:03.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: medyo mas malaki rin naman po talaga

asr-003526
02:40:03.500 --> 02:40:05.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung case rates nila. So

asr-003527
02:40:05.500 --> 02:40:07.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we have started collecting data,

asr-003528
02:40:07.500 --> 02:40:09.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung CF2 and

asr-003529
02:40:09.500 --> 02:40:11.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: CF5 data, and yun po yung gagamitin

asr-003530
02:40:11.500 --> 02:40:13.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: natin as modifiers

asr-003531
02:40:13.500 --> 02:40:15.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: para mataasan pa

asr-003532
02:40:15.500 --> 02:40:17.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng konti yung rates for select

asr-003533
02:40:17.500 --> 02:40:19.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: types of patients. And then

asr-003534
02:40:19.500 --> 02:40:21.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: lastly, we also have a work

asr-003535
02:40:21.500 --> 02:40:23.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: stream currently to work

asr-003536
02:40:23.500 --> 02:40:25.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: with HMOs.

asr-003537
02:40:25.500 --> 02:40:27.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And that's partly

asr-003538
02:40:27.500 --> 02:40:29.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: for benefit complementation

asr-003539
02:40:29.500 --> 02:40:31.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: as well as future

asr-003540
02:40:31.500 --> 02:40:33.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: plans for a PhilHealth Plus

asr-003541
02:40:33.500 --> 02:40:35.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: or yung supplementary insurance, which is

asr-003542
02:40:35.500 --> 02:40:37.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: also under the UHC Act.

asr-003543
02:40:37.500 --> 02:40:39.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

asr-003544
02:40:39.500 --> 02:40:41.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We welcome. We're actually

asr-003545
02:40:41.500 --> 02:40:43.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: through the years,

asr-003546
02:40:43.500 --> 02:40:45.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we're entering the seventh year of

asr-003547
02:40:45.500 --> 02:40:47.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: implementation of UHC. At least ngayon

asr-003548
02:40:47.500 --> 02:40:49.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: medyo nag-improve na. Well, of course,

asr-003549
02:40:49.500 --> 02:40:51.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: under Dr. Mercado, yung inyong pong

asr-003550
02:40:51.500 --> 02:40:53.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: paghahawak sa PhilHealth

asr-003551
02:40:53.500 --> 02:40:55.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-improve, and I'm sure it will further

asr-003552
02:40:55.500 --> 02:40:57.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: improve now that you're secretaried with

asr-003553
02:40:57.500 --> 02:40:59.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dr. Beverly.

asr-003554
02:40:59.500 --> 02:41:01.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nag-improve na rin yung participation

asr-003555
02:41:01.500 --> 02:41:03.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ng Zero Balance Bill. Ang problema lang,

asr-003556
02:41:03.500 --> 02:41:05.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: as mentioned by Dr.

asr-003557
02:41:05.500 --> 02:41:07.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DocBev, yung medical inflation

asr-003558
02:41:07.500 --> 02:41:09.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and professional fees.

asr-003559
02:41:09.500 --> 02:41:11.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We welcome

asr-003560
02:41:11.500 --> 02:41:13.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the expansion of PhilHealth

asr-003561
02:41:13.500 --> 02:41:15.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: benefits because the goal is to

asr-003562
02:41:15.500 --> 02:41:17.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: bring down the out-of-pocket

asr-003563
02:41:17.500 --> 02:41:19.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: expense of patients.

asr-003564
02:41:19.500 --> 02:41:21.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: However, ang nangyari

asr-003565
02:41:21.500 --> 02:41:23.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: po kasi, ang nangyayari,

asr-003566
02:41:23.500 --> 02:41:25.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it doesn't

asr-003567
02:41:25.500 --> 02:41:27.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mean that higher PhilHealth benefits

asr-003568
02:41:27.500 --> 02:41:29.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: simply result in higher hospital charges

asr-003569
02:41:29.500 --> 02:41:31.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and professional fees.

asr-003570
02:41:31.500 --> 02:41:33.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nangyari siguro, dahil gumanda

asr-003571
02:41:33.500 --> 02:41:35.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang packages ng PhilHealth,

asr-003572
02:41:35.500 --> 02:41:37.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: tapos meron pa tayo ma-EFIP,

asr-003573
02:41:37.500 --> 02:41:39.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang problema,

asr-003574
02:41:39.500 --> 02:41:41.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naging limited na yung benefits kasi

asr-003575
02:41:41.500 --> 02:41:43.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals

asr-003576
02:41:43.500 --> 02:41:45.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and even doctors

asr-003577
02:41:45.500 --> 02:41:47.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: increase their professional fees.

asr-003578
02:41:47.500 --> 02:41:49.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doctor, ah, hospitals

asr-003579
02:41:49.500 --> 02:41:51.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ah, increase their billings,

asr-003580
02:41:51.500 --> 02:41:53.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: no, yung kanilang

asr-003581
02:41:53.500 --> 02:41:55.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: charges. So,

asr-003582
02:41:55.500 --> 02:41:57.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: minsan nga ako may nakausap ako,

asr-003583
02:41:57.500 --> 02:41:59.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sir President,

asr-003584
02:41:59.500 --> 02:42:01.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: may nakausap mga mayors, kasi mga mayors tayo

asr-003585
02:42:01.500 --> 02:42:03.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nakakausap natin.

asr-003586
02:42:03.500 --> 02:42:05.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Meron daw ma-EFIP na ibinigay sa kanila

asr-003587
02:42:05.500 --> 02:42:07.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na worth 5 million. Dati ang dami hong

asr-003588
02:42:07.500 --> 02:42:09.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naku-cover, no,

asr-003589
02:42:09.500 --> 02:42:11.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na pasyente. Pero ngayon daw,

asr-003590
02:42:11.500 --> 02:42:13.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sampu na lang minsan

asr-003591
02:42:13.500 --> 02:42:15.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: or ilan na lang kasi

asr-003592
02:42:15.500 --> 02:42:17.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sabi niya, ngayon ang

asr-003593
02:42:17.500 --> 02:42:19.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospital bill kasi hindi na bumaba

asr-003594
02:42:19.500 --> 02:42:21.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pa ng six digits.

asr-003595
02:42:21.500 --> 02:42:23.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, ano siguro dito,

asr-003596
02:42:23.500 --> 02:42:25.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: another challenge is

asr-003597
02:42:25.500 --> 02:42:27.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang nagiging

asr-003598
02:42:27.500 --> 02:42:29.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: rason ng mga

asr-003599
02:42:29.500 --> 02:42:31.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals and doctors kasi matagal daw

asr-003600
02:42:31.500 --> 02:42:33.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung bayad, yung processing ng PhilHealth.

asr-003601
02:42:33.500 --> 02:42:35.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Do we, can we do something about this

asr-003602
02:42:35.500 --> 02:42:37.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: para hindi na, sinasabi lang

asr-003603
02:42:37.500 --> 02:42:39.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kaya nila nilataasan kasi

asr-003604
02:42:39.500 --> 02:42:41.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: cost of money at lahat. So,

asr-003605
02:42:41.500 --> 02:42:43.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yun ang nangyayari. I'm sure that

asr-003606
02:42:43.500 --> 02:42:45.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: this will be

asr-003607
02:42:45.500 --> 02:42:47.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: given attention at may ayos

asr-003608
02:42:47.500 --> 02:42:49.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: natin to. Yun lang po, yung

asr-003609
02:42:49.500 --> 02:42:51.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: medical inflation, no, na

asr-003610
02:42:51.500 --> 02:42:53.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sayang kasi yung benefit ng PhilHealth

asr-003611
02:42:53.500 --> 02:42:55.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-improve, yung ma-EFIP

asr-003612
02:42:55.500 --> 02:42:57.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nandyan. Kaya lang, ganun din.

asr-003613
02:42:57.500 --> 02:42:59.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nagtaasa na ba ng fees ng

asr-003614
02:42:59.500 --> 02:43:01.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: doktor tapos ng mga hospital?

asr-003615
02:43:01.500 --> 02:43:03.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So,

asr-003616
02:43:03.500 --> 02:43:05.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yun, what can we do about this

asr-003617
02:43:05.500 --> 02:43:07.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doc Bev? And siguro Secretary

asr-003618
02:43:07.500 --> 02:43:08.880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mercado also.

asr-003618-split-2
02:43:08.880 --> 02:43:09.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, Chair,

asr-003619
02:43:09.500 --> 02:43:11.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: dun sa claims turnaround

asr-003620
02:43:11.500 --> 02:43:13.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: time on the reforms that

asr-003621
02:43:13.500 --> 02:43:15.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Doc Edwin has already started, our claims

asr-003622
02:43:15.500 --> 02:43:17.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: turnaround time on average

asr-003623
02:43:17.500 --> 02:43:19.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: is already at around 19,

asr-003624
02:43:19.500 --> 02:43:21.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: no, and in some regions, 19

asr-003625
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

asr-003626
02:43:23.500 --> 02:43:25.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: down to even 10 days.

asr-003627
02:43:25.500 --> 02:43:27.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: What we also need to

asr-003628
02:43:27.500 --> 02:43:29.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fix is because we,

asr-003629
02:43:29.500 --> 02:43:31.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: at least for private hospitals, we pay

asr-003630
02:43:31.500 --> 02:43:33.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the whole fee to the hospitals

asr-003631
02:43:33.500 --> 02:43:35.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and we also receive reports that

asr-003632
02:43:35.500 --> 02:43:37.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: some hospitals don't easily

asr-003633
02:43:37.500 --> 02:43:39.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: remit the fees to the physicians.

asr-003634
02:43:39.500 --> 02:43:41.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, minsan as

asr-003635
02:43:41.500 --> 02:43:43.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: far back as 6 to 9

asr-003636
02:43:43.500 --> 02:43:45.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: months bago po nila binibigay, no. So, may

asr-003637
02:43:45.500 --> 02:43:47.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mga reminders na dun pero

asr-003638
02:43:47.500 --> 02:43:49.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: maybe we also need to have

asr-003639
02:43:49.500 --> 02:43:51.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: stricter rules around it

asr-003640
02:43:51.500 --> 02:43:53.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: for those that keep

asr-003641
02:43:53.500 --> 02:43:55.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the money.

asr-003642
02:43:55.500 --> 02:43:57.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair,

asr-003643
02:44:01.500 --> 02:44:03.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, the

asr-003644
02:44:03.500 --> 02:44:05.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: maipipa sa second payer

asr-003645
02:44:05.500 --> 02:44:07.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: should really be

asr-003646
02:44:07.500 --> 02:44:09.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: also strategic. So,

asr-003647
02:44:09.500 --> 02:44:11.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in much the same way that PhilHealth is

asr-003648
02:44:11.500 --> 02:44:13.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: looking at a contracted

asr-003649
02:44:13.500 --> 02:44:15.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: arrangement with

asr-003650
02:44:15.500 --> 02:44:17.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: private hospitals especially because

asr-003651
02:44:17.500 --> 02:44:19.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: of the provision that 10% of their

asr-003652
02:44:19.500 --> 02:44:21.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: bed should be NBB.

asr-003653
02:44:21.500 --> 02:44:23.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Alam po namin na may mga

asr-003654
02:44:23.500 --> 02:44:25.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: case rates na hindi pa rin sapat.

asr-003655
02:44:25.500 --> 02:44:27.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, supposedly dun ang maipip.

asr-003656
02:44:27.500 --> 02:44:29.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, along that line, ang plano

asr-003657
02:44:29.500 --> 02:44:31.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ko rin po sa DOH Maipip

asr-003658
02:44:31.500 --> 02:44:33.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para po dun sa mga mas matataas na uri

asr-003659
02:44:33.500 --> 02:44:35.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng sakit na yung mga private hospitals

asr-003660
02:44:35.500 --> 02:44:37.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang meron ay talaga pong

asr-003661
02:44:37.500 --> 02:44:39.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kausapin din yung private hospital and

asr-003662
02:44:39.500 --> 02:44:41.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: negotiate on a fixed

asr-003663
02:44:41.500 --> 02:44:43.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: payment scheme based on

asr-003664
02:44:43.500 --> 02:44:45.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: a lot of ways. It could be

asr-003665
02:44:45.500 --> 02:44:47.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: RVU times certain

asr-003666
02:44:47.500 --> 02:44:49.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: multiple including the professional fees.

asr-003667
02:44:49.500 --> 02:44:51.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And even

asr-003668
02:44:51.500 --> 02:44:53.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in the same way, front-loaded.

asr-003669
02:44:53.500 --> 02:44:55.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pinag-usapan na po namin yung EMA-IFU po

asr-003670
02:44:55.500 --> 02:44:57.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasi virtual front-loading eh.

asr-003671
02:44:57.500 --> 02:44:59.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Binibigay na yun sa may allocation

asr-003672
02:44:59.560 --> 02:44:59.900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na per

asr-003673
02:44:59.900 --> 02:45:02.100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: government hospital. We are already

asr-003674
02:45:02.100 --> 02:45:03.980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: expanding from DOH to LGU hospital.

asr-003675
02:45:04.400 --> 02:45:06.480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero sabi ko, pwede ba natin physically

asr-003676
02:45:06.480 --> 02:45:07.960
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: makuha rin para

asr-003677
02:45:07.960 --> 02:45:10.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: magamit na ng mga hospital for their

asr-003678
02:45:10.200 --> 02:45:12.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: utilization and

asr-003679
02:45:12.240 --> 02:45:14.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: purchase of commodities para maibaba

asr-003680
02:45:14.380 --> 02:45:16.280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nila dahil front-loaded nga.

asr-003681
02:45:16.640 --> 02:45:18.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun po yung tinitingnan namin

asr-003682
02:45:18.260 --> 02:45:19.840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if it should cover

asr-003683
02:45:19.840 --> 02:45:22.040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: those that are not beyond PhilHealth

asr-003684
02:45:22.040 --> 02:45:24.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: but on a negotiated rate. And once we have

asr-003685
02:45:24.260 --> 02:45:26.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the data, baka yun din po yung

asr-003686
02:45:26.200 --> 02:45:28.360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: magpagbasihan na ibigay na natin sa PhilHealth.

asr-003687
02:45:28.360 --> 02:45:30.460
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Sa PhilHealth, yung portion na yun

asr-003688
02:45:30.460 --> 02:45:32.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para wala na ma-cover

asr-003689
02:45:32.380 --> 02:45:34.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung MAIFIP dahil ikaw na magko-cover.

asr-003690
02:45:34.740 --> 02:45:36.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So yun po yung progression

asr-003691
02:45:36.240 --> 02:45:37.300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na nakikita ko po.

asr-003692
02:45:40.180 --> 02:45:41.620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, ano lang.

asr-003693
02:45:41.780 --> 02:45:43.860
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: As Dr. Bonga would like to ask, pero yung siguro

asr-003694
02:45:43.860 --> 02:45:46.360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sana yung concrete measures will be

asr-003695
02:45:47.180 --> 02:45:48.420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: there will be concrete

asr-003696
02:45:48.420 --> 02:45:50.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: measures from DOH and PhilHealth

asr-003697
02:45:50.380 --> 02:45:51.900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that will be put in place

asr-003698
02:45:51.900 --> 02:45:54.480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for 2026 to make sure that the expansion

asr-003699
02:45:54.480 --> 02:45:56.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: of the benefits of

asr-003700
02:45:56.460 --> 02:45:57.820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: PhilHealth and MAIFIP

asr-003701
02:45:57.820 --> 02:46:00.220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: funding will not simply be eaten up

asr-003702
02:46:00.220 --> 02:46:01.480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: by medical inflation

asr-003703
02:46:01.480 --> 02:46:04.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for higher hospital

asr-003704
02:46:04.460 --> 02:46:06.180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: charges and professional fees.

asr-003705
02:46:06.320 --> 02:46:07.620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So yun lang yung ano natin gawin

asr-003706
02:46:07.620 --> 02:46:09.680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: siguro para hindi nung masaya kasi

asr-003707
02:46:09.680 --> 02:46:12.140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-improve nga tayo pero kinakain naman

asr-003708
02:46:12.140 --> 02:46:13.240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung medical inflation.

asr-003709
02:46:14.100 --> 02:46:14.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So,

asr-003710

02:55:53.580 --> 02:55:55.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yung community-based program.

asr-003998

asr-004003
02:56:06.600 --> 02:56:07.600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, PhilHealth

asr-004004
02:56:07.600 --> 02:56:09.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: also will cover,

asr-004005
02:56:09.260 --> 02:56:11.620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I understand PhilHealth will be

asr-004006
02:56:11.620 --> 02:56:12.860
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: covering some

asr-004007
02:56:12.860 --> 02:56:15.620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: expenses. Mag-gasto

asr-004008
02:56:15.620 --> 02:56:17.280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa ibang pasyente na nangailan ng

asr-004009
02:56:17.280 --> 02:56:19.600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mental health services. So, which

asr-004010
02:56:19.600 --> 02:56:21.640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: packages will be covered

asr-004011
02:56:21.640 --> 02:56:22.260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: by PhilHealth?

asr-004012
02:56:23.040 --> 02:56:24.360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Chair, we have

asr-004013
02:56:24.360 --> 02:56:25.520
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: existing mental health

asr-004014
02:56:25.540 --> 02:56:27.440
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: package po. General

asr-004015
02:56:27.440 --> 02:56:29.220
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mental health service and specialist

asr-004016
02:56:29.220 --> 02:56:31.460
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mental health package. But

asr-004017
02:56:31.460 --> 02:56:33.260
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we've also seen that

asr-004018
02:56:33.260 --> 02:56:34.780
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: since 2025,

asr-004019
02:56:35.540 --> 02:56:37.180
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: hindi po masyado malaki yung

asr-004020
02:56:37.180 --> 02:56:39.300
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: utilization po nitong packages na to.

asr-004021
02:56:39.440 --> 02:56:41.340
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, for example, in 2025,

asr-004022
02:56:41.600 --> 02:56:43.380
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mga 7,500 claims

asr-004023
02:56:43.380 --> 02:56:44.820
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: lang ito. And this year, mga

asr-004024
02:56:44.820 --> 02:56:47.540
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 651 claims pa lang.

asr-004025
02:56:48.460 --> 02:56:49.380
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And so, part

asr-004026
02:56:49.380 --> 02:56:51.580
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: of the reason would be

asr-004027
02:56:51.580 --> 02:56:53.480
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we need to increase the number of

asr-004028
02:56:53.480 --> 02:56:54.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: providers.

asr-004029
02:56:55.540 --> 02:56:57.700
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And yun yung sinabi po ni Sec. Edwin

asr-004030
02:56:57.700 --> 02:56:59.420
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: na isa pong na-identified

asr-004031
02:56:59.420 --> 02:57:01.400
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: is konti lang po yung nagtitrain

asr-004032
02:57:01.400 --> 02:57:03.600
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: ng MHGAP. So, hindi kami maka-accredit.

asr-004033
02:57:03.760 --> 02:57:05.720
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we're working with NCMH

asr-004034
02:57:05.720 --> 02:57:06.460
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: na po on this.

asr-004035
02:57:11.010 --> 02:57:13.490
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung problema siguro, people just do not

asr-004036
02:57:13.490 --> 02:57:15.550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: know. Just like yung naging challenge

asr-004037
02:57:15.550 --> 02:57:17.490
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa PhilHealth, sa ano natin

asr-004038
02:57:17.490 --> 02:57:19.370
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa UHC noon, people are not aware of the

asr-004039
02:57:19.370 --> 02:57:20.410
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: packages. So, probably

asr-004040
02:57:20.410 --> 02:57:23.770
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: our PCO,

asr-004041

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: agencies, has to

02:57:27.430 --> 02:57:29.390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: inform. Kailangan nilang

asr-004044
02:57:29.410 --> 02:57:31.070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: i-double time. Kasi sayang naman, no?

asr-004045
02:57:31.770 --> 02:57:33.630
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DOH, PhilHealth, is offering

asr-004046
02:57:33.630 --> 02:57:35.570
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mental health programs

asr-004047
02:57:35.570 --> 02:57:37.350
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that are not being availed. Sayang.

asr-004048
02:57:37.450 --> 02:57:39.410
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Meron tayong mga free maintenance medicines

asr-004049
02:57:39.410 --> 02:57:41.670
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that are available

02:57:45.850 --> 02:57:47.430
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals, I believe, no?

asr-004053
02:57:47.590 --> 02:57:49.030
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, yun po, siguro.

asr-004054
02:57:49.790 --> 02:57:51.430
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, just before we end,

asr-004055
02:57:51.510 --> 02:57:53.290
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: probably can go on details

asr-004056
02:57:53.290 --> 02:57:54.070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: later on.

asr-004057
02:57:55.750 --> 02:57:57.470
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because it has been touched already,

asr-004058
02:57:57.470 --> 02:57:59.070
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pagdating puro sa HVEP,

asr-004059
02:57:59.410 --> 02:58:02.550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nabanggit kasi si

asr-004060
02:58:02.550 --> 02:58:03.690
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Laxon kasi, no?

asr-004061
02:58:04.950 --> 02:58:06.730
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi lang daw mabanggit.

asr-004062
02:58:07.390 --> 02:58:08.390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero, it's

asr-004063
02:58:08.390 --> 02:58:10.690
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sometimes, there are some legislators

asr-004064
02:58:10.690 --> 02:58:12.210
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: or that

asr-004065
02:58:12.210 --> 02:58:14.650

asr-004068
02:58:18.730 --> 02:58:20.590
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nila. So, pagdating sa HVEP,

asr-004069
02:58:20.670 --> 02:58:21.710
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I agree that

asr-004070
02:58:21.710 --> 02:58:24.390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: dapat ang DOH ang magpasya,

asr-004071
02:58:24.550 --> 02:58:26.890
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kayo po ang dapat mag-identify at mag-prioritize

asr-004072
02:58:26.890 --> 02:58:28.790
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa mga proyektong ponduhan based on the actual

asr-004073
02:58:28.790 --> 02:58:31.050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: health needs, service gaps,

asr-004074
02:58:31.190 --> 02:58:33.210
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and readiness ng isang lugar, no?

asr-004084
02:58:52.490 --> 02:58:53.930

asr-004089
02:59:02.670 --> 02:59:04.770
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: probably, I would recommend this to DOH,

asr-004090
02:59:04.930 --> 02:59:07.130
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: but it will be you,

asr-004093
02:59:11.070 --> 02:59:13.130

02:59:24.610 --> 02:59:26.830

03:01:09.320 --> 03:01:12.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: identified specialty centers,

asr-004154
03:01:12.300 --> 03:01:14.580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naging nabisita ko Northern Mindanao Medical Center,

asr-004155
03:01:14.680 --> 03:01:16.040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: nag-hire an open heart surgery,

asr-004156
03:01:16.720 --> 03:01:18.220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Southern Philippines Medical Center,

asr-004157
03:01:18.300 --> 03:01:20.440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: likewise. Tapos, sagulit nga ako

asr-004158
03:01:20.440 --> 03:01:22.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa PJ Garcia, sa Nueva Ecija,

asr-004159
03:01:22.660 --> 03:01:24.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na isa sa mapinunduhan natin noon.

asr-004160
03:01:25.280 --> 03:01:26.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nakita ko sa monitor,

asr-004161
03:01:26.700 --> 03:01:28.200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ongoing kidney transplantation,

asr-004162
03:01:28.220 --> 03:01:29.700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: transplant, no? So,

asr-004163
03:01:30.400 --> 03:01:31.560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa Visoto, ganun din.

asr-004164
03:01:32.240 --> 03:01:34.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, we are slowly

asr-004165
03:01:34.460 --> 03:01:36.100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: improving, pero ang gusto natin

asr-004166
03:01:36.100 --> 03:01:38.060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ma-improve naman natin ngayon, sabi ko nga,

asr-004167
03:01:38.660 --> 03:01:40.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung mga, while the

asr-004168
03:01:40.160 --> 03:01:42.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DOH and the Apex hospitals are now

asr-004169
03:01:42.160 --> 03:01:43.960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: well-funded and have been

asr-004170
03:01:43.960 --> 03:01:46.340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: improving the identified specialty

asr-004171
03:01:46.340 --> 03:01:48.200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: centers, we have to improve

asr-004172
03:01:48.200 --> 03:01:49.640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: also the local

asr-004173
03:01:49.640 --> 03:01:52.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: government hospitals, no? Para yung

asr-004174
03:01:52.120 --> 03:01:54.020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: primary and secondary care,

asr-004175
03:01:54.760 --> 03:01:56.200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mapaganda rin natin. Kasi

asr-004176
03:01:56.200 --> 03:01:57.960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang nangyayari kasi ngayon,

asr-004177
03:01:58.220 --> 03:02:00.240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: dahil maganda ang mga

asr-004178
03:02:00.240 --> 03:02:02.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: DOH hospitals, nagsisiksikan

asr-004179
03:02:02.540 --> 03:02:04.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: doon. Now, overwhelmed.

asr-004180
03:02:04.720 --> 03:02:06.360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Diba? Now, overwhelmed ang ating mga

asr-004181
03:02:06.360 --> 03:02:08.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospital

asr-004182
03:02:08.380 --> 03:02:10.100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: facilities. Gali po ako

asr-004183
03:02:10.100 --> 03:02:12.000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Cebu, nagsabi sa akin sa

asr-004184
03:02:12.000 --> 03:02:14.100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Visoto Medical Center, in order for

asr-004185
03:02:14.100 --> 03:02:16.580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: a patient now to be able to

asr-004186
03:02:16.580 --> 03:02:18.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to be accommodated,

asr-004187
03:02:18.880 --> 03:02:19.680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: tatlong buwan daw.

asr-004188
03:02:20.180 --> 03:02:21.980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ganong karami, ganong kahaba, kasi

asr-004189
03:02:21.980 --> 03:02:23.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it caters to the whole Central Visaya.

asr-004190
03:02:23.920 --> 03:02:26.100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, I think we really

asr-004191
03:02:26.100 --> 03:02:28.000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: have to improve also the provincial,

asr-004192
03:02:28.220 --> 03:02:29.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and the local hospitals

asr-004193
03:02:29.920 --> 03:02:32.180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: para those cases

asr-004194
03:02:32.180 --> 03:02:33.980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: or yung mga surgeries na kaya

asr-004195
03:02:33.980 --> 03:02:35.640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: naman igawin dito sa

asr-004196
03:02:35.640 --> 03:02:37.880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: provincial level, local level,

asr-004197
03:02:38.440 --> 03:02:39.780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magawa na rito para hindi

asr-004198
03:02:39.780 --> 03:02:41.940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung mga Apex and specialty

asr-004199
03:02:41.940 --> 03:02:43.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: centers can concentrate

asr-004200
03:02:43.800 --> 03:02:45.820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: on the more complex or the

asr-004201
03:02:45.820 --> 03:02:47.680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung mga

asr-004202
03:02:47.680 --> 03:02:50.000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: more complicated diseases. So, yun po.

asr-004203
03:02:50.160 --> 03:02:51.260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero, but in the end,

asr-004298
03:06:00.020 --> 03:06:02.000

asr-004299
03:06:02.000 --> 03:06:04.020

03:06:06.000 --> 03:06:07.980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: secondary, no? So, nasa sa inyo po

asr-004302
03:06:07.980 --> 03:06:09.820

asr-004308
03:06:19.640 --> 03:06:22.060

asr-004312
03:06:27.980 --> 03:06:29.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: specialty centers and the

asr-004313

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: apex hospitals can concentrate on

asr-004314
03:06:31.980 --> 03:06:33.960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the more complicated cases

asr-004315
03:06:33.960 --> 03:06:35.960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and diseases. So, again,

04:22:03.400 --> 04:22:06.220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair

asr-004658
04:22:06.220 --> 04:22:07.720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if we

asr-004659
04:22:07.720 --> 04:22:10.060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: look at total healthcare expenditure

asr-004660
04:22:10.060 --> 04:22:10.280

04:22:22.120 --> 04:22:23.400

asr-004668
04:22:23.400 --> 04:22:26.480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ngayon po ang 1.1% po is only

asr-004669
04:22:26.480 --> 04:22:28.080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: government and that

asr-004670
04:22:28.080 --> 04:22:30.400

04:29:44.380 --> 04:29:44.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: schemes

asr-005020
04:29:44.660 --> 04:29:45.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: naman

asr-005021
04:29:45.000 --> 04:29:46.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: nandun lang

asr-005022
04:29:46.120 --> 04:29:47.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa 12.3%

asr-005023
04:29:47.600 --> 04:29:48.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: so

asr-005024
04:29:48.280 --> 04:29:49.320
Senator Joel Villanueva: para maintindihan

asr-005025
04:29:49.320 --> 04:29:50.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: ng mga kababayan

asr-005026
04:29:50.100 --> 04:29:50.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: natin

asr-005027
04:29:50.460 --> 04:29:51.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa isang daang piso

asr-005028
04:29:51.700 --> 04:29:52.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: na

asr-005029
04:29:52.900 --> 04:29:53.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: billing

asr-005030
04:29:53.740 --> 04:29:57.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: 41.2%

asr-005031
04:29:57.620 --> 04:29:57.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: lang

asr-005032
04:29:57.960 --> 04:29:59.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung

asr-005033
04:29:59.160 --> 04:29:59.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: ah

asr-005034
04:29:59.380 --> 04:30:00.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: ah

asr-005035
04:30:00.000 --> 04:30:00.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: ah

asr-005047
04:30:00.690 --> 04:30:14.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: 42 o 41 pesos lang ang binabayaran ng isang pasyente sa 100 piso na billing.

asr-005048
04:30:14.260 --> 04:30:20.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: So 59 pesos, nandun yung tulong kasama na dyan yung PhilHealth.

asr-005049
04:30:20.540 --> 04:30:29.910
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dito naman sa meron po akong research din dito na sinasabi naman

asr-005050
04:30:29.910 --> 04:30:37.670
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa simula ng taong 2026, 14% up to 15% ng kabuhang hospital bill

asr-005051
04:30:37.670 --> 04:30:40.010
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang binabayaran ng PhilHealth.

asr-005052
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,

asr-005053
04:30:51.970 --> 04:30:55.870
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung 59, 14%-15% doon ang PhilHealth.

asr-005054
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,

asr-005055
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.

asr-005056
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?

asr-005057
04:31:25.870 --> 04:31:30.830
Senator Joel Villanueva: And how do we make sure na lalaki talaga po ito?

asr-005058
04:31:31.050 --> 04:31:32.170
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sige ma'am, thank you.

asr-005059
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.

asr-005060
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.

asr-005061
04:31:48.910 --> 04:31:50.990
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you ma'am for joining us. Please proceed.

asr-005062
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,

asr-005063
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,

asr-005064
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,

asr-005065
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.

asr-005066
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,

asr-005067
04:32:17.690 --> 04:32:19.890
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: then the out-of-pocket payment,

asr-005068
04:32:19.890 --> 04:32:23.850
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: will hopefully be more predictable.

asr-005069
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.

asr-005070
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,

asr-005071
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,

asr-005072
04:32:37.830 --> 04:32:40.750
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: additional 5,000, additional 10,000 siya.

asr-005073
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.

asr-005074
04:32:45.070 --> 04:32:49.070
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'll go to that later, itong zero-balance billing.

asr-005075
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

asr-005076
04:33:00.250 --> 04:33:05.170
Senator Joel Villanueva: to raise the 14-15% doubling it.

asr-005077
04:33:05.290 --> 04:33:07.650
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't know if I heard it from you, ma'am, actually,

asr-005078
04:33:07.750 --> 04:33:13.790
Senator Joel Villanueva: but I encountered this article na that's part of the goal,

asr-005079
04:33:13.790 --> 04:33:19.790
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung doblehin from 14-15 maging 25 to actually,

asr-005080
04:33:19.890 --> 04:33:21.630
Senator Joel Villanueva: actually, to 30%.

asr-005081
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.

asr-005082
04:33:31.810 --> 04:33:35.030
Senator Joel Villanueva: Is that correct? Is that an accurate statement, ma'am?

asr-005083
04:33:35.730 --> 04:33:36.550
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yes, Chair.

asr-005084
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.

asr-005085
04:33:43.930 --> 04:33:46.250
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Ngayon po kasi nasa 19% siya.

asr-005086
04:33:48.900 --> 04:33:50.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, okay.

asr-005087
04:33:51.260 --> 04:33:53.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's a welcome development.

asr-005088
04:33:54.280 --> 04:33:57.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: But puntahan po natin yung sinasabi nyo,

asr-005089
04:33:57.360 --> 04:34:06.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: 60,000 beds sa yung tinatarget ng zero-balance billing.

asr-005090
04:34:06.360 --> 04:34:08.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: In fact, when we heard about this,

asr-005091
04:34:08.140 --> 04:34:10.320
Senator Joel Villanueva: a lot of our colleagues here in the Senate were talking,

asr-005092
04:34:10.600 --> 04:34:13.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: saan ba talaga itong mga zero-balance billing?

asr-005093
04:34:13.240 --> 04:34:16.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: And every time I go around, may lalapit sa akin,

asr-005094
04:34:16.660 --> 04:34:20.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: walang makita saan ba itong nakalagay.

asr-005095
04:34:20.640 --> 04:34:22.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tapos, meron naman.

asr-005096
04:34:23.140 --> 04:34:27.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: But, you know, in fairness, I encountered someone here in Metro Manila,

asr-005097
04:34:28.720 --> 04:34:31.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: Metro Manila Hospital, na zero-balance po siya.

asr-005098
04:34:31.920 --> 04:34:36.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's just that parang the entire time na I was going around,

asr-005099
04:34:36.360 --> 04:34:39.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang narinig ko po ay dito lang sa Metro Manila.

asr-005100
04:34:39.580 --> 04:34:43.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, itong 60,000 beds, is it scattered around?

asr-005101
04:34:44.240 --> 04:34:45.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: At ilan po ito?

asr-005102
04:34:45.220 --> 04:34:48.760
Senator Joel Villanueva: And perhaps the most important part of the question is,

asr-005103
04:34:48.760 --> 04:34:50.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: ilan na po ba yung nag-benefit?

asr-005104
04:34:50.640 --> 04:34:57.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi, kung ilan lamang po, kasi ilan bang pasyente sa Pilipinas?

asr-005105
04:34:58.140 --> 04:35:04.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tapos, kasabihin natin na ilang porsyento ng pasyente yung nakaka-avail lang

asr-005106
04:35:04.580 --> 04:35:06.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: o makaka-avail lang nito.

asr-005107
04:35:06.840 --> 04:35:12.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi parang ang hirap naman din po na mapakinggan ito

asr-005108
04:35:12.520 --> 04:35:16.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: every time nire-report natin na we are improving.

asr-005109
04:35:16.960 --> 04:35:17.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, ma'am.

asr-005110
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.

asr-005111
04:35:20.640 --> 04:35:22.240
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: of the no-balance billing beds.

asr-005112
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.

asr-005113
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,

asr-005114
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.

asr-005115
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.

asr-005116
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,

asr-005117
04:35:46.640 --> 04:35:52.000
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: a total of 59,790

asr-005118
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.

asr-005119
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.

asr-005120
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

asr-005121
04:36:07.400 --> 04:36:10.680
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: na 66,055 in the country.

asr-005122
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

asr-005123
04:36:17.080 --> 04:36:18.960
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to hopefully cover the whole bill.

asr-005124
04:36:18.960 --> 04:36:19.960
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And then, supplemented by...

asr-005125
04:36:20.640 --> 04:36:24.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay. Yung 6,000, yun lang yung sa private?

asr-005126
04:36:25.460 --> 04:36:27.140
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yan po yung mandated nila.

asr-005127
04:36:27.740 --> 04:36:28.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because that's mandated.

asr-005128
04:36:29.000 --> 04:36:33.900
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yes, shared accommodation.

asr-005129
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

asr-005130
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.

asr-005131
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.

asr-005132
04:36:46.300 --> 04:36:47.360
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, mahirap i-enforce.

asr-005133
04:36:47.360 --> 04:36:50.440
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: But now, a lot of the private hospitals,

asr-005134
04:36:50.640 --> 04:36:52.580
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: are actually already doing it.

asr-005135
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.

asr-005136
04:36:56.880 --> 04:36:58.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's good news, no?

asr-005137
04:36:58.020 --> 04:36:59.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: There are 60,000 beds available.

asr-005138
04:37:00.480 --> 04:37:07.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: And these are patients na hindi po nangangailangan ng surgery.

asr-005139
04:37:08.420 --> 04:37:11.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi parang, yun yung gusto kong maintindihan.

asr-005140
04:37:11.280 --> 04:37:14.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ano yung pinaka-basic, ano lang po niya, no?

asr-005141
04:37:14.840 --> 04:37:16.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Again, 60,000 is...

asr-005142
04:37:18.160 --> 04:37:19.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: I mean, compared to our denominator, medyo...

asr-005143
04:37:20.640 --> 04:37:21.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: Malayo yan.

asr-005144
04:37:21.860 --> 04:37:25.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I'm sure we wanted to increase it by...

asr-005145
04:37:25.560 --> 04:37:27.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: I mean, increase the target by next year.

asr-005146
04:37:27.660 --> 04:37:29.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sir, sige po, sekretary.

asr-005147
04:37:30.020 --> 04:37:31.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, to give context po,

asr-005148
04:37:31.940 --> 04:37:35.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang total bed available po sa Pilipinas ay mga 120,000.

asr-005149
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.

asr-005150
04:37:42.180 --> 04:37:46.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ang DOH beds po, nakasama yung regional dito sa Manila,

asr-005151
04:37:46.880 --> 04:37:49.080
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: at saka yung four GOCC hospitals,

asr-005152
04:37:49.520 --> 04:37:50.560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: are about 3,000.

asr-005153
04:37:50.640 --> 04:37:51.660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 32,400.

asr-005154
04:37:52.680 --> 04:37:55.920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At ang LGU po ay mga 21,600.

asr-005155
04:37:56.360 --> 04:37:58.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ang sumatotal po,

asr-005156
04:37:59.060 --> 04:38:02.760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kalahati ng bed capacity ng buong Pilipinas,

asr-005157
04:38:02.860 --> 04:38:04.640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang aming tinatarget na maging NBB.

asr-005158
04:38:05.200 --> 04:38:05.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ano po yun?

asr-005159
04:38:05.980 --> 04:38:08.620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Hindi naman po nangangahulugan na lahat po yan,

asr-005160
04:38:08.720 --> 04:38:12.280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ang strategiya ay magdagdag ng bayad.

asr-005161
04:38:12.420 --> 04:38:13.720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi inflationary po eh.

asr-005162
04:38:13.940 --> 04:38:16.040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kahit kami nagdadagdag, nagtataas din.

asr-005163
04:38:16.040 --> 04:38:19.040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun po ay nature na talaga ng health economy.

asr-005164
04:38:20.640 --> 04:38:22.760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ano po dito, dapat yung strategic purchasing.

asr-005165
04:38:23.100 --> 04:38:24.600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ano po yung strategic purchasing?

asr-005166
04:38:25.320 --> 04:38:28.220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dahil kami po yung pinakal-largest purchaser,

asr-005167
04:38:28.800 --> 04:38:32.940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: pwede po kaming makipag-negotiate sa mga hospital.

asr-005168
04:38:33.700 --> 04:38:35.980
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya nga po ngayon, nag-i-engage na po yung hospital,

asr-005169
04:38:36.160 --> 04:38:39.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay dahil napababa na po natin yung turnaround time ng payment.

asr-005170
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.

asr-005171
04:38:44.280 --> 04:38:46.620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya maglalagay kami ng cost of money, di ho ba?

asr-005172
04:38:46.620 --> 04:38:50.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kahit nailagay ko yan sa banko, makumikita na ako ng interest.

asr-005173
04:38:50.340 --> 04:38:52.120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaysa nakabin-bin.

asr-005174
04:38:52.280 --> 04:38:54.480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, ngayon po na naka-15 days na kami,

asr-005175
04:38:55.040 --> 04:38:56.160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nag-i-enter na sila.

asr-005176
04:38:56.260 --> 04:38:58.860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Sige, pahayag na kami ng NOBI-NBB ngayon.

asr-005177
04:38:58.980 --> 04:39:00.680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Bukod dun sa tinaas natin yung coverage.

asr-005178
04:39:01.300 --> 04:39:03.420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero isa pa po dun sa aming pinag-iisipan,

asr-005179
04:39:03.560 --> 04:39:04.840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay yung upfront payment.

asr-005180
04:39:04.980 --> 04:39:06.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yun nga po yung global budget.

asr-005181
04:39:06.800 --> 04:39:10.220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi hawak na po nung ating mga hospital, yung pera.

asr-005182
04:39:10.780 --> 04:39:13.440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, which means, pwede po nilang gamitin for purchase

asr-005183
04:39:13.440 --> 04:39:15.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga equipment, ng mga supplies,

asr-005184
04:39:15.740 --> 04:39:18.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para ma-hedge din po nila yung pagtaas ng presyo.

asr-005185
04:39:18.640 --> 04:39:19.840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At bultuhan,

asr-005186
04:39:19.840 --> 04:39:21.940
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mas maibababa, maninegosyate po nilang

asr-005187
04:39:21.940 --> 04:39:24.440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ibaba yung presyo ng kanilang mga consumables.

asr-005188
04:39:24.940 --> 04:39:26.440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yun po yung mga statihiya.

asr-005189
04:39:26.640 --> 04:39:29.100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kaya po, ang aming tinitingnan,

asr-005190
04:39:29.660 --> 04:39:32.620
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ay yung pong parang kagaya po ng One Hospital Command

asr-005191
04:39:32.620 --> 04:39:33.740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nung kasagsagan ng COVID.

asr-005192
04:39:34.300 --> 04:39:35.360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Titingnan po namin,

asr-005193
04:39:35.880 --> 04:39:39.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ano po yung sobra na nakapila sa mga government hospital.

asr-005194
04:39:40.260 --> 04:39:41.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At kakausapin namin yung private,

asr-005195
04:39:41.940 --> 04:39:43.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: o yung 10% bed nyo,

asr-005196
04:39:43.600 --> 04:39:45.600
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ipasok natin para ma-offload natin.

asr-005197
04:39:46.020 --> 04:39:48.300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: At bukod dun sa first-liner ng PhilHealth,

asr-005198
04:39:48.900 --> 04:39:49.740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: papasok namin ngayon.

asr-005199
04:39:49.740 --> 04:39:50.360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yung MyPip.

asr-005200
04:39:50.640 --> 04:39:53.000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi po, MyPip, dapat dun sa mga outliers eh.

asr-005201
04:39:53.560 --> 04:39:55.000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi hindi naman po mako-cover

asr-005202
04:39:55.000 --> 04:39:56.520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng lahat ng case rates.

asr-005203
04:39:56.680 --> 04:39:58.920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pag Z-Bend, dapat wala nang dagdag yan.

asr-005204
04:39:59.040 --> 04:40:00.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi substantial na yung Z-Bend,

asr-005205
04:40:00.780 --> 04:40:02.180
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 1 million to 4 million eh.

asr-005206
04:40:02.560 --> 04:40:03.500
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero yung mga outliers,

asr-005207
04:40:04.000 --> 04:40:05.680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat po, appendectomy simple,

asr-005208
04:40:06.140 --> 04:40:08.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dapat mga 30,000 in ICU.

asr-005209
04:40:08.740 --> 04:40:09.900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi nagperitonitis,

asr-005210
04:40:10.120 --> 04:40:11.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nagkaroon ng komplikasyon.

asr-005211
04:40:11.540 --> 04:40:13.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Dun po papasok dapat yung MyPip.

asr-005212
04:40:13.440 --> 04:40:14.700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, dapat po rules-based,

asr-005213
04:40:15.120 --> 04:40:16.360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: supplemental ang MyPips

asr-005214
04:40:16.360 --> 04:40:17.780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dun sa coverage po ng PhilHealth

asr-005215
04:40:17.780 --> 04:40:19.400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para ma-achieve po natin yung NBB.

asr-005216
04:40:19.740 --> 04:40:21.040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Negotiated po yung rates

asr-005217
04:40:21.040 --> 04:40:22.100
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: dun po sa mga hospital.

asr-005218
04:40:23.000 --> 04:40:24.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, Secretary.

asr-005219
04:40:25.260 --> 04:40:28.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: We appreciate the answer, Mr. Chairman.

asr-005220
04:40:29.260 --> 04:40:31.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'll go to my next topic

asr-005221
04:40:31.160 --> 04:40:32.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: unless, Mr. Chairman,

asr-005222
04:40:32.400 --> 04:40:33.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: you wanted to say something

asr-005223
04:40:33.780 --> 04:40:34.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: about the zero billing.

asr-005224
04:40:35.180 --> 04:40:36.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: As I'm going to the next topic,

asr-005225
04:40:37.180 --> 04:40:39.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: or Senator Pia would like to...

asr-005226
04:40:39.600 --> 04:40:41.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm leaving the zero billing

asr-005227
04:40:41.400 --> 04:40:43.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: if you want to...

asr-005228
04:40:43.700 --> 04:40:46.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'll go to another topic.

asr-005229
04:40:47.900 --> 04:40:48.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sure...

asr-005230
04:40:48.800 --> 04:40:49.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sure...

asr-005231
04:40:49.360 --> 04:40:52.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because I was looking at you last time

asr-005232
04:40:52.420 --> 04:40:54.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: we were together and talking about this.

asr-005233
04:40:55.160 --> 04:40:55.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, okay.

asr-005234
04:40:55.680 --> 04:40:56.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sure you don't...

asr-005235
04:40:56.220 --> 04:40:58.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Very quickly, just to add to the zero billing issue.

asr-005236
04:40:59.940 --> 04:41:03.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, for the 2026 budget,

asr-005237
04:41:03.700 --> 04:41:06.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when I chaired the budget of PhilHealth,

asr-005238
04:41:07.000 --> 04:41:08.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we included 1 billion.

asr-005239
04:41:08.380 --> 04:41:08.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam niyo yun?

asr-005240
04:41:09.140 --> 04:41:11.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For pilot testing in the LGUs.

asr-005241
04:41:12.540 --> 04:41:14.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I just learned that

asr-005242
04:41:14.720 --> 04:41:18.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that amount is going to be made...

asr-005243
04:41:18.480 --> 04:41:20.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What happened as of August 25?

asr-005244
04:41:21.260 --> 04:41:26.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Na-download na yung funds on August 25 lang.

asr-005245
04:41:26.660 --> 04:41:27.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, like two weeks ago.

asr-005246
04:41:28.460 --> 04:41:30.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, yung opportunity natin

asr-005247
04:41:30.320 --> 04:41:31.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to do the pilot testing

asr-005248
04:41:31.540 --> 04:41:33.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so that we could give a bigger amount this year.

asr-005249
04:41:34.280 --> 04:41:35.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's kind of lost, no?

asr-005250
04:41:35.220 --> 04:41:36.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I will just assume that

asr-005251
04:41:36.760 --> 04:41:39.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, you have a lot of good faith.

asr-005252
04:41:39.300 --> 04:41:41.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, we have a lot of good faith in you.

asr-005253
04:41:41.840 --> 04:41:44.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'll assume that from all the consultations

asr-005254
04:41:44.040 --> 04:41:45.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because the reason I was given

asr-005255
04:41:45.660 --> 04:41:46.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so I don't have to ask you now

asr-005256
04:41:46.820 --> 04:41:48.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is that it took time.

asr-005257
04:41:48.480 --> 04:41:50.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't need to come up with the rules, etc.

asr-005258
04:41:50.600 --> 04:41:51.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'm assuming that

asr-005259
04:41:51.780 --> 04:41:53.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: during all those consultations,

asr-005260
04:41:53.360 --> 04:41:56.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you learned a lot on how you want to implement this.

asr-005261
04:41:57.300 --> 04:41:58.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And so, it can be used

asr-005262
04:41:58.520 --> 04:42:00.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for this year's budget,

asr-005263
04:42:01.060 --> 04:42:02.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: additional budget for ZBB

asr-005264
04:42:02.380 --> 04:42:04.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because we were told

asr-005265
04:42:04.000 --> 04:42:07.120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that there are now

asr-005266
04:42:07.120 --> 04:42:08.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how many LGUs?

asr-005267
04:42:08.900 --> 04:42:09.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300?

asr-005268
04:42:09.400 --> 04:42:10.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300 LGUs?

asr-005269
04:42:10.600 --> 04:42:11.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300 LGUs, tama ba?

asr-005270
04:42:12.440 --> 04:42:13.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300 new LGUs

asr-005271
04:42:13.900 --> 04:42:17.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that will now be able to offer ZBB.

asr-005272
04:42:18.480 --> 04:42:19.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama.

asr-005273
04:42:19.740 --> 04:42:20.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 300.

asr-005274
04:42:20.600 --> 04:42:22.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For total na 300 new LGUs.

asr-005275
04:42:25.160 --> 04:42:27.950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did we get that?

asr-005276
04:42:28.270 --> 04:42:29.010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did we get that?

asr-005277
04:42:29.570 --> 04:42:30.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm joking.

asr-005278
04:42:30.230 --> 04:42:32.830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was part of the presentation

asr-005279
04:42:32.830 --> 04:42:35.850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of one of the economic managers.

asr-005280
04:42:37.070 --> 04:42:39.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I said I would just follow up with you

asr-005281
04:42:39.230 --> 04:42:42.670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because it's good news for our kababayans.

asr-005282
04:42:44.250 --> 04:42:46.810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But, yeah, maybe you can just add some details.

asr-005285
04:43:09.540 --> 04:43:10.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama ba?

asr-005286
04:43:10.450 --> 04:43:11.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Are you aware of this?

asr-005287
04:43:11.290 --> 04:43:12.210
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Or sinabi lang nila yun?

asr-005288
04:43:15.840 --> 04:43:18.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Ma'am, yung pong for 2027,

asr-005289
04:43:18.380 --> 04:43:21.160
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: there's an additional 19 billion.

asr-005290
04:43:21.360 --> 04:43:21.880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama.

asr-005291
04:43:22.040 --> 04:43:22.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 19 billion.

asr-005292
04:43:22.480 --> 04:43:23.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: 19 billion in the

asr-005293
04:43:23.540 --> 04:43:25.840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: proposal NEP-1

asr-005294
04:43:25.840 --> 04:43:27.480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: for the PhilHealth

asr-005295
04:43:28.220 --> 04:43:29.220
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to cover

asr-005296
04:43:29.220 --> 04:43:31.760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mostly LGU hospitals.

asr-005297
04:43:31.980 --> 04:43:34.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Total of 368 LGU hospitals.

asr-005298
04:43:34.360 --> 04:43:36.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, basically, all the LGU hospitals.

asr-005299
04:43:36.120 --> 04:43:36.700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: That's what it is.

asr-005300
04:43:36.960 --> 04:43:37.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes po.

asr-005301
04:43:37.660 --> 04:43:38.920
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Right now po, our study,

asr-005302
04:43:39.200 --> 04:43:40.300
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: our beta showed

asr-005303
04:43:40.300 --> 04:43:43.020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: almost 85% na po yung support value

asr-005304
04:43:43.020 --> 04:43:46.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng PhilHealth dito sa LGU hospitals.

asr-005305
04:43:46.640 --> 04:43:47.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sorry, what's that?

asr-005306
04:43:47.700 --> 04:43:50.060
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Almost 80 to 85% na po

asr-005307
04:43:50.060 --> 04:43:51.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng total bill

asr-005308
04:43:51.260 --> 04:43:52.280
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga LGU hospitals.

asr-005309
04:43:52.280 --> 04:43:52.780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng mga LGU hospitals

asr-005310
04:43:52.780 --> 04:43:54.580
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: are covered by PhilHealth.

asr-005311
04:43:54.660 --> 04:43:55.360
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, that's equivalent

asr-005312
04:43:55.360 --> 04:43:56.480
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to the support value

asr-005313
04:43:56.480 --> 04:43:59.000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: for each SOA.

asr-005314
04:43:59.480 --> 04:44:03.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, yung 15, 10, 15%,

asr-005315
04:44:03.340 --> 04:44:03.960
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: supposedly,

asr-005316
04:44:04.220 --> 04:44:05.860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: is ito po yung magko-cover.

asr-005317
04:44:06.420 --> 04:44:07.640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: But, I leave it to

asr-005318
04:44:07.640 --> 04:44:09.520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: PCO Bev

asr-005319
04:44:09.520 --> 04:44:10.700
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to determine how

asr-005320
04:44:10.700 --> 04:44:12.760
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the structure would be

asr-005321
04:44:12.760 --> 04:44:14.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: na hindi nga po inflationary.

asr-005322
04:44:14.400 --> 04:44:16.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, dyan po pumapasok nga yung concept

asr-005323
04:44:16.140 --> 04:44:17.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng global payment

asr-005324
04:44:17.820 --> 04:44:19.680
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: para outright na

asr-005325
04:44:19.680 --> 04:44:20.860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: meron na tayong agreement

asr-005326
04:44:20.860 --> 04:44:22.040
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: nung purchase ng

asr-005327
04:44:22.040 --> 04:44:23.320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: volume of service

asr-005328
04:44:23.320 --> 04:44:25.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: based on certain criteria

asr-005329
04:44:25.200 --> 04:44:26.420
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: like case mix,

asr-005330
04:44:26.500 --> 04:44:27.560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: average length of stay,

asr-005331
04:44:28.020 --> 04:44:29.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: meron na pong ginagawang

asr-005332
04:44:29.200 --> 04:44:30.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: mga pag-aaral

asr-005333
04:44:30.140 --> 04:44:31.900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: on how to compel naman

asr-005334
04:44:31.900 --> 04:44:33.320
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the LGUs to be efficient.

asr-005335
04:44:34.020 --> 04:44:34.900
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Kasi otherwise po,

asr-005336
04:44:35.500 --> 04:44:38.120
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kung magiging

asr-005337
04:44:38.120 --> 04:44:39.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: inflationary rin yung impact,

asr-005338
04:44:40.020 --> 04:44:41.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: hindi rin po magbubunga

asr-005339
04:44:41.140 --> 04:44:42.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng talagang impact

asr-005340
04:44:42.380 --> 04:44:43.020
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: ng ZBB.

asr-005341
04:44:45.420 --> 04:44:48.630
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pero, ikaw na yung mag-aral na doon.

asr-005342
04:44:48.690 --> 04:44:49.010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes.

asr-005343
04:44:49.370 --> 04:44:51.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The question to the

Senator Pia S. Cayetano: general public is,

asr-005345
04:44:52.970 --> 04:44:53.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when do we have to

asr-005346
04:44:53.290 --> 04:44:53.970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when they go now

asr-005347
04:44:53.970 --> 04:44:54.790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to the

asr-005348
04:44:54.790 --> 04:44:56.870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the LGU hospital,

asr-005349
04:44:57.250 --> 04:44:58.950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: may ZBB ba sila doon?

asr-005350
04:44:59.050 --> 04:44:59.970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi yung impact

asr-005351
04:44:59.970 --> 04:45:00.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ng ZBB,

asr-005368
04:45:00.230 --> 04:45:01.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang ibig sabihin ng ZBB

asr-005369
04:45:01.620 --> 04:45:03.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: para sa taong bayan

asr-005370
04:45:03.260 --> 04:45:04.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is zero balance nga.

asr-005371
04:45:04.520 --> 04:45:05.880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yun lang ang tagtanong naman nila eh.

asr-005372
04:45:06.480 --> 04:45:06.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi,

asr-005373
04:45:07.040 --> 04:45:08.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ulitin ko,

asr-005374
04:45:08.700 --> 04:45:10.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: natarantay yung mga mayors

asr-005375
04:45:10.020 --> 04:45:11.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nung na-announce sa SONA

asr-005376
04:45:11.060 --> 04:45:12.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: last year.

asr-005377
04:45:12.400 --> 04:45:12.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Last year,

asr-005378
04:45:12.900 --> 04:45:13.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: not this year,

asr-005379
04:45:13.540 --> 04:45:14.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: last year na

asr-005380
04:45:14.200 --> 04:45:15.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ZBB na,

asr-005381
04:45:15.540 --> 04:45:16.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: zero balance billing

asr-005382
04:45:16.420 --> 04:45:17.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: tapos hindi naman covered.

asr-005383
04:45:17.600 --> 04:45:19.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sinabi DOH hospitals lang.

asr-005384
04:45:19.120 --> 04:45:19.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yan,

asr-005385
04:45:19.400 --> 04:45:21.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nalalat mo yung Dr. Edwin,

asr-005386
04:45:21.280 --> 04:45:21.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: di ba?

asr-005387
04:45:21.840 --> 04:45:22.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So,

asr-005388
04:45:22.140 --> 04:45:22.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: then na-clarify na

asr-005389
04:45:22.900 --> 04:45:24.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DOH hospitals lang.

asr-005390
04:45:24.580 --> 04:45:24.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: O,

asr-005391
04:45:24.720 --> 04:45:25.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: tapos sabi namin

asr-005392
04:45:25.560 --> 04:45:26.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nung nag-budgeteering na kami,

asr-005393
04:45:27.140 --> 04:45:27.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sabi ko,

asr-005394
04:45:27.880 --> 04:45:29.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I will propose 1 billion

asr-005395
04:45:29.180 --> 04:45:30.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so you can pilot

asr-005396
04:45:30.100 --> 04:45:31.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in the LGUs

asr-005397
04:45:31.180 --> 04:45:31.880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to see how

asr-005398
04:45:31.880 --> 04:45:33.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: PhilHealth can use 1 billion

asr-005399
04:45:33.440 --> 04:45:34.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in a few pilot hospitals.

asr-005400
04:45:34.940 --> 04:45:35.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You decide how many.

asr-005401
04:45:35.860 --> 04:45:36.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hindi kami nagdidikta.

asr-005402
04:45:37.160 --> 04:45:38.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You want to pilot it in 5?

asr-005403
04:45:38.600 --> 04:45:39.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Go ahead.

asr-005404
04:45:39.120 --> 04:45:40.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You want to pilot it in 100?

04:52:39.450 --> 04:52:40.850
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And I guess we don't expect

asr-005765
04:52:40.850 --> 04:52:42.650
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: a lot of the yakap providers

asr-005766

Senator Joel Villanueva: Right now,

asr-005769
04:52:48.630 --> 04:52:49.570
Senator Joel Villanueva: the target

asr-005770
04:52:49.570 --> 04:52:51.290
Senator Joel Villanueva: of increasing

asr-005771
04:52:51.290 --> 04:52:52.670
Senator Joel Villanueva: the number of providers

asr-005772
04:52:52.670 --> 04:52:53.850

04:52:58.530 --> 04:52:58.870
Senator Joel Villanueva: in

asr-005780
04:52:58.870 --> 04:52:59.910
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't know

04:52:59.910 --> 04:53:01.450
Senator Joel Villanueva: urban areas

asr-005782
04:53:01.450 --> 04:53:02.850

04:53:03.610 --> 04:53:04.950

Senator Joel Villanueva: in their areas

asr-005789
04:53:09.870 --> 04:53:10.690
Senator Joel Villanueva: for example

04:53:10.690 --> 04:53:12.970
Senator Joel Villanueva: 6-8 barangays

asr-005791
04:53:12.970 --> 04:53:14.130

Senator Joel Villanueva: ni isang provider

asr-005794
04:53:15.690 --> 04:53:16.390

Senator Joel Villanueva: siguro

asr-005802
04:53:23.190 --> 04:53:24.950
Senator Joel Villanueva: just the target

asr-005803
04:53:24.950 --> 04:53:26.410
Senator Joel Villanueva: to increase

asr-005804
04:53:26.410 --> 04:53:27.570
Senator Joel Villanueva: the number of providers

asr-005805
04:53:27.570 --> 04:53:28.630

asr-006353
05:04:41.100 --> 05:04:42.560
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: five contracted facilities.

asr-006354
05:04:43.040 --> 05:04:45.300
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we know very stringent yung rules

asr-006355
05:04:45.300 --> 05:04:46.860
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: namin. So, in fact, I think

asr-006356
05:04:46.860 --> 05:04:49.320
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: later this week, wala labas na po

asr-006357
05:04:49.320 --> 05:04:51.660
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: yung policy namin to decouple

asr-006358
05:04:51.660 --> 05:04:53.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the accreditation

asr-006359
05:04:53.160 --> 05:04:55.240
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: standards para mas marami pong makaparticipate.

asr-006360
05:04:56.540 --> 05:04:57.540
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Second po

asr-006361
05:04:57.540 --> 05:04:58.920
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: is to allow

asr-006362
05:04:59.240 --> 05:05:00.780
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the STOTPT

asr-006363
05:05:00.780 --> 05:05:02.920
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to do practice-based accreditation.

asr-006364
05:05:03.140 --> 05:05:04.620
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Currently, our accreditation is

asr-006365
05:05:04.620 --> 05:05:06.620
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: focused on facility-based.

asr-006366
05:05:07.100 --> 05:05:09.040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we know konti lang sila, no?

asr-006367
05:05:09.040 --> 05:05:10.680
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: And many of them have freestanding

asr-006368
05:05:10.680 --> 05:05:13.100
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: clinics na hindi sila na-engage.

asr-006369
05:05:13.400 --> 05:05:15.080
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, we've also started discussing

asr-006370
05:05:15.080 --> 05:05:17.020
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: with them already that should

asr-006371
05:05:17.020 --> 05:05:18.840
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: all be addressed

asr-006372
05:05:18.840 --> 05:05:21.000
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: before the year ends so we can engage

asr-006373
05:05:21.000 --> 05:05:23.080
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: more of them. Last po is

asr-006374
05:05:23.080 --> 05:05:25.120
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: klaro din po dun sa

asr-006375
05:05:25.120 --> 05:05:26.960
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mga developmental pediatricians

asr-006376
05:05:26.960 --> 05:05:29.040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: natin na they can't go to

asr-006377
05:05:29.040 --> 05:05:30.840
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: every single school and community

asr-006378
05:05:30.840 --> 05:05:33.020
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to do screening. So, in

asr-006379
05:05:33.020 --> 05:05:35.320
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: fact, the DevPed Society has already

asr-006380
05:05:35.320 --> 05:05:36.500
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: piloted

asr-006381
05:05:36.500 --> 05:05:38.620
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: a training module for

asr-006382
05:05:38.620 --> 05:05:40.600
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: BHWs and

asr-006383
05:05:40.600 --> 05:05:42.900
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: daycare center workers.

asr-006384
05:05:43.400 --> 05:05:45.020
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, sila po yung very first level

asr-006385
05:05:45.020 --> 05:05:47.060
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: of screening. May training na rin po

asr-006386
05:05:47.060 --> 05:05:49.040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: na nakahanda for primary

asr-006387
05:05:49.040 --> 05:05:50.900
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: care physicians and general

asr-006388
05:05:50.900 --> 05:05:52.880
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: pediatricians bago po punta sa

asr-006389
05:05:52.880 --> 05:05:54.640
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: kanila. So, they have

asr-006390
05:05:54.640 --> 05:05:56.980
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: piloted this already in QC.

asr-006391
05:05:57.520 --> 05:05:58.880
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So, our goal is to work with them

asr-006392
05:05:58.880 --> 05:06:01.060
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: to scale this up kasi wala rin

asr-006393
05:06:01.060 --> 05:06:03.040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: mapupunta sa kanila kung walang magsiscreen

asr-006394
05:06:03.040 --> 05:06:04.820
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: at the front line. So, definitely

asr-006395
05:06:04.820 --> 05:06:06.820
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: sir, we're with you in this advocacy po.

asr-006396
05:06:06.820 --> 05:06:08.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't actually know how

asr-006397
05:06:08.900 --> 05:06:10.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: to start or how to begin

asr-006398
05:06:10.700 --> 05:06:12.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: in this particular topic.

asr-006399
05:06:13.300 --> 05:06:14.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Having experienced

asr-006400
05:06:14.840 --> 05:06:17.060

05:06:22.360 --> 05:06:23.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung

asr-006409
05:06:32.960 --> 05:06:35.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: how else we can help.

asr-006410
05:06:35.880 --> 05:06:36.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: Here in the Senate,

05:06:51.340 --> 05:06:51.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: for the

05:06:51.940 --> 05:06:55.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: counterpart measure

05:06:58.880 --> 05:07:00.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: actually, to the bill, is the

asr-006423
05:07:00.740 --> 05:07:02.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: expansion of field health benefits for

asr-006424
05:07:02.860 --> 05:07:04.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: individuals with the

asr-006425

05:07:07.800 --> 05:07:08.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sana po,

asr-006427
05:07:08.900 --> 05:07:12.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: even without the law, right now

asr-006428
05:07:12.980 --> 05:07:14.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: we can do something about this. Kasi

asr-006429
05:07:14.460 --> 05:07:16.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: anlaki po ng

Senator Joel Villanueva: mga apektado dito.

asr-006432
05:07:20.980 --> 05:07:22.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: And anywhere you go in the country,

asr-006433
05:07:23.740 --> 05:07:24.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: especially if there are

asr-006434
05:07:24.980 --> 05:07:26.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: parents who found out na

asr-006435
05:07:26.940 --> 05:07:28.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: the same situation,

asr-006436
05:07:28.880 --> 05:07:31.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: talagang lalapit

asr-006437
05:07:31.060 --> 05:07:32.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: magsasabi.

asr-006438
05:07:32.820 --> 05:07:34.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung number of therapy sessions

asr-006439
05:07:34.920 --> 05:07:36.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: na covered ng field health

asr-006440
05:07:36.880 --> 05:07:38.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: is only 90.

asr-006441
05:07:38.980 --> 05:07:40.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's unfortunate.

asr-006442
05:07:40.780 --> 05:07:41.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: 90 sessions.

asr-006443
05:07:42.760 --> 05:07:45.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't know if you can

asr-006444
05:07:45.040 --> 05:07:46.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: ask a parent

asr-006445
05:07:46.660 --> 05:07:48.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: if that is enough.

asr-006446
05:07:48.820 --> 05:07:49.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Medyo masakit po.

asr-006447
05:07:51.500 --> 05:07:53.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kahit exempt na po

asr-006448
05:07:53.020 --> 05:07:54.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: ako dito, okay lang.

asr-006449
05:07:54.700 --> 05:07:55.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sana pataasin po.

asr-006450
05:07:55.960 --> 05:07:58.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: The beneficiaries also,

asr-006451
05:07:58.880 --> 05:08:01.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: received financial assistance

asr-006452
05:08:01.360 --> 05:08:03.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: through the Department of Social Welfare

asr-006453
05:08:03.260 --> 05:08:04.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: and Development sa

asr-006454
05:08:04.480 --> 05:08:07.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Project Aruga. And we're

asr-006455
05:08:07.020 --> 05:08:08.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: pushing also DSWD to

asr-006456
05:08:08.940 --> 05:08:10.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: help yung families,

asr-006457
05:08:11.000 --> 05:08:13.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: especially those

asr-006458
05:08:13.100 --> 05:08:15.320
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the

asr-006459
05:08:15.320 --> 05:08:16.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: ASD.

asr-006460
05:08:16.460 --> 05:08:19.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then aside from previous 90

asr-006461
05:08:19.160 --> 05:08:20.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: therapy sessions,

asr-006462
05:08:21.200 --> 05:08:22.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang original package po

asr-006463
05:08:22.880 --> 05:08:23.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: na covered

asr-006464
05:08:23.940 --> 05:08:26.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa assessment cost is

asr-006465
05:08:26.880 --> 05:08:28.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: ranging only from 3,000 to

asr-006466
05:08:28.880 --> 05:08:30.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: 5,000 pesos.

asr-006467
05:08:32.520 --> 05:08:33.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: Again,

asr-006468
05:08:33.460 --> 05:08:35.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: this is also depending on the number

asr-006469
05:08:35.360 --> 05:08:37.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: and type of healthcare

asr-006470
05:08:37.240 --> 05:08:38.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: professionals involved.

asr-006471
05:08:40.060 --> 05:08:41.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yun nga pong

asr-006472
05:08:41.300 --> 05:08:43.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: healthcare professionals hindi pa

asr-006473
05:08:43.540 --> 05:08:45.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: available. Hindi ka na makakita.

asr-006474
05:08:45.960 --> 05:08:47.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tapos ganito pa ho. So parang

asr-006475
05:08:47.560 --> 05:08:51.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't want to use the word

asr-006476
05:08:51.420 --> 05:08:52.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: kasumpa-sumpa, pero

asr-006477
05:08:52.920 --> 05:08:55.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: talagang mahirap po yung pinagdadaanan

asr-006478
05:08:55.520 --> 05:08:57.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: nila. So I hope we do

asr-006479
05:08:57.460 --> 05:08:58.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: something about this.

asr-006480
05:08:58.880 --> 05:09:01.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: I can coordinate with

asr-006481
05:09:01.280 --> 05:09:03.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: your office with regard

asr-006482
05:09:03.160 --> 05:09:05.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: to this. And perhaps

asr-006483
05:09:05.060 --> 05:09:06.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: again, even before the passage

asr-006484
05:09:06.940 --> 05:09:08.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: of this measure,

asr-006485
05:09:09.360 --> 05:09:10.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: may magawa po tayo.

asr-006486
05:09:11.060 --> 05:09:13.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Can I hear from you, ma'am?

asr-006487
05:09:13.480 --> 05:09:15.100
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: Yes, Mr. Chair. Actually,

asr-006488
05:09:15.200 --> 05:09:17.040
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: there's already a directive

asr-006489
05:09:17.040 --> 05:09:19.000
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: as part of the fifth SONA of the

asr-006491
05:09:21.040 --> 05:09:22.920
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: and the consultation number. So

asr-006492
05:09:22.920 --> 05:09:24.160
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: we're just

asr-006493
05:09:24.160 --> 05:09:26.940
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: finishing the staff work for this.

asr-006494
05:09:27.240 --> 05:09:28.600
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: So tuloy-tuloy po yung consultation.

asr-006495
05:09:28.880 --> 05:09:30.300
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: With all of the professional

asr-006496
05:09:30.300 --> 05:09:32.840
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: societies. And really

asr-006497
05:09:32.840 --> 05:09:34.260
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: hopefully before the year ends.

asr-006498
05:09:34.920 --> 05:09:36.900
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: We're committing that before the year ends,

asr-006499
05:09:37.000 --> 05:09:38.780
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: the updated policy is actually

asr-006500
05:09:38.780 --> 05:09:40.780
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: out po. And then

asr-006501
05:09:40.780 --> 05:09:42.560

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

asr-006655
05:14:49.780 --> 05:14:51.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: where are

asr-006656
05:14:51.520 --> 05:14:52.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: these concentrated?

asr-006657
05:14:53.360 --> 05:14:55.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: How long have they

asr-006658
05:14:55.580 --> 05:14:57.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: uh, uh,

asr-006659
05:14:57.240 --> 05:14:58.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: remained unfilled?

asr-006660
05:14:59.120 --> 05:14:59.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ano ba yung mga

asr-006661
05:15:00.000 --> 05:15:02.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: barriers preventing DOH

asr-006662
05:15:02.540 --> 05:15:04.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: from filling up these

asr-006663
05:15:04.200 --> 05:15:06.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: positions. Kahapon o, kami ni Senator

asr-006664
05:15:06.140 --> 05:15:08.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: JV, we were conducting the

asr-006665
05:15:08.240 --> 05:15:09.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: budget briefing ng

asr-006666
05:15:09.620 --> 05:15:12.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: Commission on Audit. Ang problema

asr-006667
05:15:12.380 --> 05:15:14.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: nila, yung item in itself,

asr-006668
05:15:14.160 --> 05:15:15.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang baba po nung

asr-006669
05:15:15.360 --> 05:15:17.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: pasweldo. So, talagang

asr-006670
05:15:17.980 --> 05:15:19.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi rin pala

asr-006671
05:15:19.840 --> 05:15:21.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: mag-commensurate dun sa

asr-006672
05:15:21.720 --> 05:15:23.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: hinahanap nilang mga auditors.

asr-006673
05:15:23.960 --> 05:15:25.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: In fact, ang attrition rate nila,

asr-006674
05:15:25.700 --> 05:15:28.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: napakataas, 40-something percent.

asr-006675
05:15:28.640 --> 05:15:29.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Imagine, and

asr-006676
05:15:29.600 --> 05:15:31.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang naging

asr-006677
05:15:31.740 --> 05:15:33.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: solution to address

asr-006678
05:15:33.980 --> 05:15:36.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: that problem is to really

asr-006679
05:15:36.260 --> 05:15:37.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: ask

asr-006680
05:15:37.960 --> 05:15:39.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: for the exemption

asr-006681
05:15:39.420 --> 05:15:41.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa salary standardization,

asr-006682
05:15:42.160 --> 05:15:43.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung Commission

asr-006683
05:15:43.900 --> 05:15:44.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: on Audit.

asr-006684
05:15:45.460 --> 05:15:46.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: So,

asr-006685
05:15:46.540 --> 05:15:48.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: gusto natin maintindihan ito kasi

asr-006686
05:15:48.300 --> 05:15:50.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang laki na po eh.

asr-006687
05:15:51.900 --> 05:15:52.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Last year,

asr-006688
05:15:53.100 --> 05:15:54.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: one of ten

asr-006689
05:15:54.400 --> 05:15:56.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: government positions

asr-006690
05:15:57.140 --> 05:15:57.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: unfilled.

asr-006691
05:15:58.500 --> 05:15:59.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, nag-improve naman

asr-006692
05:15:59.580 --> 05:16:01.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: po, siguro may nangyari sa ginagawa

asr-006693
05:16:01.640 --> 05:16:03.600

Senator Joel Villanueva: I just wanted to mention this.

asr-006697
05:16:09.860 --> 05:16:11.740

asr-006698
05:16:11.740 --> 05:16:13.700

asr-006699
05:16:13.700 --> 05:16:15.500

05:16:18.220 --> 05:16:20.040

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: Yes, good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Senators.

asr-006709
05:16:34.040 --> 05:16:35.680
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: Yes, we do recognize that

asr-006710
05:16:35.680 --> 05:16:37.680
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: we have to improve on our efforts

asr-006711
05:16:37.680 --> 05:16:39.340
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: to improve our

asr-006712
05:16:39.340 --> 05:16:41.760
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: filling up rate. Right now,

asr-006713
05:16:41.860 --> 05:16:42.800
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: as you've mentioned, Sir,

asr-006714
05:16:43.660 --> 05:16:45.980
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: the filled up rate for all

asr-006715
05:16:45.980 --> 05:16:47.500
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: DOH plantilla positions

asr-006716
05:16:47.500 --> 05:16:49.600
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: is 92%. And we only

asr-006717
05:16:49.600 --> 05:16:51.900
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: have around unfilled positions

asr-006718
05:16:51.900 --> 05:16:53.640
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: which is around

asr-006719
05:16:53.640 --> 05:16:55.720
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: 8%. But, true, Sir,

asr-006720
05:16:55.880 --> 05:16:57.200
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: we do

asr-006721
05:16:57.200 --> 05:16:59.560
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: recognize that there are problems.

asr-006722
05:16:59.580 --> 05:17:01.520
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: Like, there are various

asr-006723
05:17:01.520 --> 05:17:02.900
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: reasons for us not

asr-006724
05:17:02.900 --> 05:17:05.620
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: filling these positions up, especially

asr-006725
05:17:05.620 --> 05:17:07.820
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: in the hospitals. Number one,

asr-006726
05:17:08.040 --> 05:17:09.560
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: some of the positions in the

asr-006727
05:17:09.560 --> 05:17:11.760
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: hospitals are really temporary in nature

asr-006728
05:17:11.760 --> 05:17:13.640
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: because some of

asr-006729
05:17:13.640 --> 05:17:15.740
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: these are used for fellowship and residency

asr-006730
05:17:15.740 --> 05:17:17.600
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: training, which has a

asr-006731
05:17:17.600 --> 05:17:19.560
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: temporary period of, which

asr-006732
05:17:19.560 --> 05:17:21.780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: is in a, they occupy these positions

asr-006733
05:17:21.780 --> 05:17:23.540
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: during two-year,

asr-006734
05:17:23.660 --> 05:17:25.320
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: three-year periods. So,

asr-006735
05:17:25.520 --> 05:17:27.620
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: nababakanti ho yun palagi. So, we need to

asr-006736
05:17:27.620 --> 05:17:29.500
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: refill because of the residency and

asr-006737
05:17:29.500 --> 05:17:31.540
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: fellowship training. Others, as

asr-006738
05:17:31.540 --> 05:17:33.420
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: mentioned, mahirap

asr-006739
05:17:33.420 --> 05:17:35.320
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: kung, wala hong masyadong

asr-006740
05:17:35.320 --> 05:17:37.460
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: takers because of those

asr-006741
05:17:37.460 --> 05:17:38.460
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: special

asr-006742
05:17:38.460 --> 05:17:41.780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: cadres like speech therapies,

asr-006743
05:17:42.560 --> 05:17:43.400
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: development

asr-006744
05:17:43.400 --> 05:17:44.720
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: specialists, etc.

asr-006745
05:17:45.320 --> 05:17:47.300
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: Yun, Sir. Yun yung mga ibang

asr-006746
05:17:47.300 --> 05:17:49.540
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: reasons natin. But, we

asr-006747
05:17:49.540 --> 05:17:51.120
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: did already

asr-006748
05:17:51.120 --> 05:17:53.220
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: had

asr-006749
05:17:53.220 --> 05:17:54.780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: measures undertaken.

asr-006750
05:17:55.540 --> 05:17:57.320
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: We already have

asr-006751
05:17:57.320 --> 05:17:58.680
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: helped the hospitals

asr-006752
05:17:58.680 --> 05:18:00.780
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: improve their filling

asr-006753
05:18:00.780 --> 05:18:03.040
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: up rate by forming

asr-006754
05:18:03.040 --> 05:18:04.760
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: various selection

asr-006755
05:18:04.760 --> 05:18:06.960
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: and promotion boards. And that

asr-006756
05:18:06.960 --> 05:18:08.840
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: finally, some of the hospitals

asr-006757
05:18:08.840 --> 05:18:10.800
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: have already more than

asr-006758
05:18:10.800 --> 05:18:12.620
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: 90% rate of filling

asr-006759
05:18:12.620 --> 05:18:14.640
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: up. But, we're still working on

asr-006760
05:18:14.640 --> 05:18:15.170
DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran: this.

asr-006760-split-2
05:18:15.170 --> 05:18:16.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Can we get

asr-006761
05:18:16.640 --> 05:18:18.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: something from DOH?

asr-006762
05:18:18.860 --> 05:18:19.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because I believe

asr-006763
05:18:19.940 --> 05:18:21.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: DOH should distinguish

asr-006764
05:18:21.980 --> 05:18:23.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: frontline clinical

asr-006765
05:18:23.580 --> 05:18:26.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: vacancies from administrative

asr-006766
05:18:26.140 --> 05:18:28.520

05:18:28.520 --> 05:18:30.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: obsolete positions

asr-006768
05:18:30.260 --> 05:18:32.520

asr-006769
05:18:32.520 --> 05:18:33.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: recruitment, compensation,

asr-006770
05:18:34.320 --> 05:18:36.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: qualification, deployment,

asr-006771
05:18:36.640 --> 05:18:38.340

05:18:38.340 --> 05:18:41.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: related

asr-006773
05:18:41.000 --> 05:18:42.520

05:21:56.040 --> 05:21:57.780

asr-006873
05:22:02.620 --> 05:22:04.360

asr-006880
05:22:16.260 --> 05:22:18.380

asr-006881
05:22:18.380 --> 05:22:20.660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: PhilHealth eh, to continuously upgrade

Senator Joel Villanueva: healthcare ng ating mga

05:24:50.040 --> 05:24:51.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: kababayan. And I wonder why,

asr-006957
05:24:52.360 --> 05:24:54.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: no, yung sa flood control, naiintindihan

asr-006958
05:24:54.120 --> 05:24:56.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: ko po. Pero, yung sa flood

05:24:56.120 --> 05:24:58.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: control din, natama naman yung project.

asr-006960
05:24:58.080 --> 05:24:59.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pinigil,

05:24:59.560 --> 05:25:02.000

05:25:12.200 --> 05:25:13.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: at hindi na ho bahay yung problema nila.

asr-006968
05:25:13.900 --> 05:25:15.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang problema nila, mabubura na sila sa mapa.

asr-006969

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pia, Yatana, you may want to

asr-006981
05:25:40.040 --> 05:25:41.900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: continue with your questions.

asr-006982
05:25:42.800 --> 05:25:44.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Good afternoon, everyone.

asr-006983
05:25:44.840 --> 05:25:46.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Good afternoon, Secretary Edwin,

asr-006984
05:25:46.440 --> 05:25:48.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and let me now call

asr-006985
05:25:48.420 --> 05:25:50.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Doc Beverly, President Beverly

asr-006986
05:25:50.220 --> 05:25:51.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ho, and to the entire

asr-006987
05:25:51.980 --> 05:25:54.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DOH family, everyone.

asr-006988
05:25:54.660 --> 05:25:55.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Chairman, I will

asr-006989
05:25:55.600 --> 05:25:58.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: actually, I want to

asr-006990
05:25:58.080 --> 05:25:59.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: start with the

asr-006991
05:25:59.040 --> 05:26:01.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: additional budget,

asr-006992
05:26:02.160 --> 05:26:04.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: which of course is a happy

asr-006993
05:26:04.240 --> 05:26:06.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: good information

asr-006994
05:26:06.040 --> 05:26:07.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for you, but it will take a minute to load

asr-006995
05:26:07.920 --> 05:26:10.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: my numbers, so while we're doing

asr-006996
05:26:10.240 --> 05:26:12.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that, I'll ask

asr-006997
05:26:12.160 --> 05:26:14.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: some follow-up questions or make some follow-up

asr-006998
05:26:14.040 --> 05:26:16.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: comments on the topics that were already discussed.

asr-006999
05:26:16.940 --> 05:26:17.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, on the

asr-007000
05:26:17.740 --> 05:26:22.120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: importance

asr-007001
05:26:22.120 --> 05:26:23.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of having a sufficient

asr-007002
05:26:23.460 --> 05:26:25.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: human health resource

asr-007003
05:26:25.480 --> 05:26:26.860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: supply,

asr-007004
05:26:28.080 --> 05:26:30.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: these are human beings, not supply,

asr-007005
05:26:30.240 --> 05:26:32.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but in terms of, that's

asr-007006
05:26:32.300 --> 05:26:34.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the official term, human resource supply,

asr-007007
05:26:34.840 --> 05:26:35.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero mga tao naman to

asr-007008
05:26:35.940 --> 05:26:37.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: who, you know, want a brighter

asr-007009
05:26:37.980 --> 05:26:39.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: future for themselves, whose

asr-007010
05:26:39.960 --> 05:26:41.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: families aspire that they will

asr-007011
05:26:41.840 --> 05:26:43.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have successful careers.

asr-007012
05:26:45.760 --> 05:26:47.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'd like to think that our

asr-007013
05:26:47.540 --> 05:26:48.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Doktor Para sa Bayan

asr-007014
05:26:48.980 --> 05:26:51.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: law has been successful

asr-007015
05:26:51.780 --> 05:26:53.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because, as mentioned earlier,

asr-007016
05:26:54.080 --> 05:26:55.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from eight public

asr-007017
05:26:55.940 --> 05:26:57.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: medical schools, we now have, actually,

asr-007018
05:26:58.080 --> 05:26:59.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 30, 32, it's

asr-007019
05:26:59.900 --> 05:27:02.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 32, and that is good

asr-007020
05:27:02.000 --> 05:27:04.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: news for us. It's not

asr-007021
05:27:04.100 --> 05:27:05.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: easy because

asr-007022
05:27:05.080 --> 05:27:09.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you know more than me, but

asr-007023
05:27:09.440 --> 05:27:11.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's not just putting up the physical

asr-007024
05:27:11.320 --> 05:27:13.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: structure of a school, it's having the

asr-007025
05:27:13.340 --> 05:27:15.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: expertise, the

asr-007026
05:27:15.540 --> 05:27:17.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: doctors who will teach, and

asr-007027
05:27:17.540 --> 05:27:19.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: then the support system

asr-007028
05:27:19.580 --> 05:27:21.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there, the equipment, and so on and so forth.

asr-007029
05:27:22.260 --> 05:27:23.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's extremely successful

asr-007030
05:27:23.640 --> 05:27:25.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: if you ask me, some more than others.

asr-007031
05:27:25.980 --> 05:27:27.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, let's always look for the

asr-007032
05:27:27.840 --> 05:27:28.860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the

asr-007033
05:27:28.860 --> 05:27:29.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the

asr-007034
05:27:29.620 --> 05:27:32.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: best practices

asr-007035
05:27:32.280 --> 05:27:34.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that can be shared

asr-007036
05:27:34.360 --> 05:27:36.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with the others, because obviously some are more successful

asr-007037
05:27:36.460 --> 05:27:38.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: than others. What I wanted to point

asr-007038
05:27:38.340 --> 05:27:40.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: out, really, though, is the need

asr-007039
05:27:40.500 --> 05:27:42.120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to also do this for the other

asr-007040
05:27:42.120 --> 05:27:44.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: allied health professions.

asr-007041
05:27:45.360 --> 05:27:46.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What I tried to

asr-007042
05:27:46.460 --> 05:27:48.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: do, because I handled the budget of

asr-007043
05:27:48.460 --> 05:27:49.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: health for all these years,

asr-007044
05:27:50.180 --> 05:27:52.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is to ask the state

asr-007045
05:27:52.260 --> 05:27:54.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: universities, whose budget I also handled

asr-007046
05:27:54.260 --> 05:27:55.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for seven years, I think.

asr-007047
05:27:56.500 --> 05:27:58.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's only this year that I'm not handling it.

asr-007048
05:27:58.560 --> 05:27:59.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Last year.

asr-007049
05:27:59.620 --> 05:28:00.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Stopped handling it.

asr-007050
05:28:01.300 --> 05:28:03.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To identify, because we're always ready

asr-007051
05:28:03.520 --> 05:28:05.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to support, and I get

asr-007052
05:28:05.620 --> 05:28:07.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a very poor response.

asr-007053
05:28:07.740 --> 05:28:08.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Very poor response.

asr-007054
05:28:08.980 --> 05:28:11.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Like, parang ako na nga yung nagsasabing

asr-007055
05:28:11.160 --> 05:28:12.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: mag-a-allocate tayo,

asr-007056
05:28:13.000 --> 05:28:14.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the response is so poor.

asr-007057
05:28:14.700 --> 05:28:16.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I can submit to you later

asr-007058
05:28:16.340 --> 05:28:19.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of how many universities that

asr-007059
05:28:19.020 --> 05:28:20.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: should be capable of

asr-007060
05:28:20.760 --> 05:28:22.880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: offering more programs or expanding their

asr-007061
05:28:22.880 --> 05:28:24.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: programs. Number one, ang in-expand lang

asr-007062
05:28:24.980 --> 05:28:26.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is nursing. Normally, yun pa rin.

asr-007063
05:28:27.200 --> 05:28:28.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kahit nabanggitin ko, lahat ng binanggit

asr-007064
05:28:28.940 --> 05:28:29.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: natin, lahat ng

asr-007065
05:28:29.620 --> 05:28:31.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: klaseng therapy. Occupational therapy,

asr-007066
05:28:31.580 --> 05:28:32.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: physical therapy,

asr-007067
05:28:33.260 --> 05:28:35.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: speech therapy, lahat yan,

asr-007068
05:28:35.560 --> 05:28:37.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: binanggit ko na. Pharmacists,

asr-007069
05:28:37.540 --> 05:28:39.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: radiotechs, lahat yan, wala pa rin.

asr-007070
05:28:39.680 --> 05:28:41.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I'm not talking to those who are offering

asr-007071
05:28:41.220 --> 05:28:43.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: liberal arts programs. I'm talking to

asr-007072
05:28:43.000 --> 05:28:45.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: colleges and universities that offer science

asr-007073
05:28:45.300 --> 05:28:46.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: programs. So, where's the gap?

asr-007074
05:28:46.940 --> 05:28:49.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I know we have to talk

asr-007075
05:28:49.260 --> 05:28:51.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to the professional associations,

asr-007076
05:28:51.840 --> 05:28:52.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but I think

asr-007077
05:28:52.820 --> 05:28:55.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: maybe, Secretary, you can form a

asr-007078
05:28:55.320 --> 05:28:57.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: team, like a multi-sectoral

asr-007079
05:28:57.440 --> 05:28:59.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: team and a multi-agency team

asr-007080
05:28:59.620 --> 05:29:01.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: really look into this, you know, because

asr-007081
05:29:01.280 --> 05:29:03.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kausap ko na yung CHED,

asr-007082
05:29:03.240 --> 05:29:05.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kausap ko na yun, pero the result is

asr-007083
05:29:05.340 --> 05:29:06.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so slow, so slow.

asr-007084
05:29:07.200 --> 05:29:09.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I even tell them, okay, hindi kayo ready ngayon, mag-ready

asr-007085
05:29:09.320 --> 05:29:11.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kayo next year, mag-ready kayo the next year, pero

asr-007086
05:29:11.220 --> 05:29:13.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ganun pa rin. Sobrang

asr-007087
05:29:13.080 --> 05:29:15.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hindi naman, parang wala tayong

asr-007088
05:29:15.240 --> 05:29:16.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: urgency in

asr-007089
05:29:16.460 --> 05:29:19.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: addressing this issue.

asr-007090
05:29:19.820 --> 05:29:21.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then I go back to the reason,

asr-007091
05:29:21.600 --> 05:29:23.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: part of the reason why we have that issue. So,

asr-007092
05:29:23.240 --> 05:29:25.120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: number one, we're really not, we're not

asr-007093
05:29:25.120 --> 05:29:27.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: producing enough for our own

asr-007094
05:29:27.280 --> 05:29:29.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: needs, but for those that we do produce,

asr-007095
05:29:29.360 --> 05:29:31.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they have lucrative career opportunities

asr-007096
05:29:31.640 --> 05:29:33.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: abroad, no? Alam na natin yan. That is not

asr-007097
05:29:33.480 --> 05:29:34.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: new to any of us.

asr-007098
05:29:35.260 --> 05:29:37.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If I go into the details, I'm wasting our time

asr-007099
05:29:37.340 --> 05:29:39.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I'm preaching to the choir. But

asr-007100
05:29:39.240 --> 05:29:41.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what I want to point out, Secretary,

asr-007101
05:29:41.560 --> 05:29:43.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and maybe under your leadership

asr-007102
05:29:43.400 --> 05:29:45.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it can be done,

asr-007103
05:29:45.680 --> 05:29:47.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is the need to also

asr-007104
05:29:47.140 --> 05:29:49.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have a multi-agency

asr-007105
05:29:50.420 --> 05:29:55.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: committee that looks

asr-007106
05:29:55.340 --> 05:29:56.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: into the

asr-007107
05:29:58.040 --> 05:29:59.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: demand for

asr-007108
05:29:59.000 --> 05:29:59.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our human health.

asr-007109
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

asr-007110
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

asr-007111
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

asr-007112
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

asr-007113
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

asr-007114
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

asr-007115
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

asr-007116
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

asr-007117
05:30:58.130 --> 05:30:58.430
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: um

asr-007118
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

asr-007119
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

asr-007120
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

asr-007121
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

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

asr-007123
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

asr-007124
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

asr-007125
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

asr-007126
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

asr-007127
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

asr-007128
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

asr-007129
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

asr-007130
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

asr-007131
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

asr-007132
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

asr-007133
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

asr-007134
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

asr-007135
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

asr-007136
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

asr-007137
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

asr-007138
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

asr-007139
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

asr-007140
05:33:20.050 --> 05:33:22.610
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: kasama may visa etc so i think it

asr-007141
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

asr-007142
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

asr-007143
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

asr-007144
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

asr-007145
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

asr-007146
05:33:50.910 --> 05:33:52.490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: preaching to the choir so

asr-007147
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

asr-007148
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

asr-007149
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

asr-007150
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

asr-007151
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

asr-007152
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

asr-007153
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

asr-007154
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

asr-007155
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

asr-007156
05:34:50.110 --> 05:34:52.330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to their hometown and see their family

asr-007157
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

asr-007158
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

asr-007159
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

asr-007160
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

asr-007161
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

asr-007162
05:35:20.370 --> 05:35:22.630
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: committee reports when i became a senator in 2004

asr-007163
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

asr-007164
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

asr-007165
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

asr-007166
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

asr-007167
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

asr-007168
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

asr-007169
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

asr-007170
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

asr-007171
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

asr-007172
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

asr-007173
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

asr-007174
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

asr-007175
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

asr-007176
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

asr-007177
05:36:52.650 --> 05:36:55.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that program, associate nurse two years.

asr-007178
05:36:55.410 --> 05:36:57.770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So it's something that we should consider.

asr-007179
05:36:57.990 --> 05:37:00.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, and we also have our ladderized program.

asr-007180
05:37:00.410 --> 05:37:01.610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: No one has mentioned it here.

asr-007181
05:37:02.110 --> 05:37:06.390
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The ladderized program allows a BHW with units

asr-007182
05:37:06.390 --> 05:37:12.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to have her experience credited to become a midwife

asr-007183
05:37:12.230 --> 05:37:13.890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then the midwife to a nurse,

asr-007184
05:37:14.270 --> 05:37:16.330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a nurse to a doctor and so on and so forth.

asr-007185
05:37:16.410 --> 05:37:17.570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So there's so much we can do.

asr-007186
05:37:17.570 --> 05:37:20.570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If we can only put a person in charge

asr-007187
05:37:20.570 --> 05:37:24.170
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of these programs to really explore them.

asr-007188
05:37:24.970 --> 05:37:26.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's it, Secretary.

asr-007189
05:37:26.830 --> 05:37:29.010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If you just tell me that you look into this.

asr-007190
05:37:29.550 --> 05:37:31.790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In the U.S., they have the nurse practitioner

asr-007191
05:37:31.790 --> 05:37:34.090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the physician's assistant

asr-007192
05:37:34.090 --> 05:37:36.750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and very well entrenched in their system.

asr-007193
05:37:37.270 --> 05:37:38.010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But we don't have that here.

asr-007194
05:37:38.210 --> 05:37:41.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I kind of heard that there's also resistance from doctors.

asr-007195
05:37:41.370 --> 05:37:45.810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I mean, what are we going to do?

asr-007196
05:37:46.990 --> 05:37:49.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So anyway, let's just put on record

asr-007197
05:37:49.050 --> 05:37:50.190
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I'll just say that

asr-007198
05:37:50.190 --> 05:37:51.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the Secretary is nodding.

asr-007199
05:37:51.350 --> 05:37:52.790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But, you know, I've just said you look into it.

asr-007200
05:37:52.870 --> 05:37:53.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'll leave it up to you.

asr-007201
05:37:55.650 --> 05:37:58.150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: These are just ideas that I've had for many years.

asr-007202
05:37:59.730 --> 05:38:01.770
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, if I may react.

asr-007203
05:38:02.070 --> 05:38:03.490
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes, that's what we said,

asr-007204
05:38:03.910 --> 05:38:05.650
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: task shifting that we need to look into.

asr-007205
05:38:06.270 --> 05:38:07.790
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And I agree.

asr-007206
05:38:08.630 --> 05:38:11.750
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: There are cadres of nursing positions,

asr-007207
05:38:11.870 --> 05:38:12.970
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: for example, or medical

asr-007208
05:38:12.970 --> 05:38:16.730
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that doesn't need to be really a baccalaureate degree holder.

asr-007209
05:38:17.050 --> 05:38:20.010
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: But we just have to define the scope of,

asr-007210
05:38:20.190 --> 05:38:21.450
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: what they can do.

asr-007211
05:38:21.450 --> 05:38:24.790
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: I think that those are the reactions

asr-007212
05:38:24.790 --> 05:38:26.930
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: coming from the professional associations.

asr-007213
05:38:27.170 --> 05:38:27.990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And like you said earlier,

asr-007214
05:38:28.070 --> 05:38:30.150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there's a lot of management, administrative work

asr-007215
05:38:30.150 --> 05:38:34.150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that either those with health background can do

asr-007216
05:38:34.150 --> 05:38:36.650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or we make it an enticing career

asr-007217
05:38:36.650 --> 05:38:38.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for those with non-health background.

asr-007218
05:38:38.150 --> 05:38:39.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They could have IT background

asr-007219
05:38:39.270 --> 05:38:44.450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and be very helpful in the running of a health facility.

asr-007220
05:38:44.990 --> 05:38:48.650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, I move on to the issue on health facilities,

asr-007221
05:38:48.790 --> 05:38:49.530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the one with HFET.

asr-007222
05:38:49.530 --> 05:38:49.550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007223
05:38:50.190 --> 05:38:51.490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I just want to put on record

asr-007224
05:38:51.490 --> 05:38:55.830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I was listening to the discussions earlier.

asr-007225
05:38:56.490 --> 05:39:00.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I might have missed very minimally

asr-007226
05:39:00.270 --> 05:39:02.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when I had to step into a meeting,

asr-007227
05:39:02.370 --> 05:39:04.070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but otherwise I caught most of the discussion.

asr-007228
05:39:04.790 --> 05:39:07.690
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And one of the topics was the HFET,

asr-007229
05:39:07.770 --> 05:39:08.550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the health facilities.

asr-007230
05:39:08.810 --> 05:39:11.570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I know the response that you gave, Secretary,

asr-007231
05:39:11.690 --> 05:39:13.670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was obviously, and was also mentioned now,

asr-007232
05:39:13.970 --> 05:39:16.410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we will focus on completion.

asr-007233
05:39:16.410 --> 05:39:18.390
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But to be fair,

asr-007234
05:39:18.550 --> 05:39:19.990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to all the previous,

asr-007235
05:39:20.190 --> 05:39:23.090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to all the previous administrations,

asr-007236
05:39:23.410 --> 05:39:26.870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: including the hardworking USECs and department heads,

asr-007237
05:39:27.410 --> 05:39:28.690
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for many years,

asr-007238
05:39:28.830 --> 05:39:29.950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what was given to me,

asr-007239
05:39:30.130 --> 05:39:31.190
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: not from the beginning,

asr-007240
05:39:31.350 --> 05:39:32.210
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but the latter part,

asr-007241
05:39:32.290 --> 05:39:33.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the last few years,

asr-007242
05:39:33.590 --> 05:39:35.350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I chaired the committee,

asr-007243
05:39:35.770 --> 05:39:40.670
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I would receive a list of categories

asr-007244
05:39:40.670 --> 05:39:45.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of funding that could be availed of,

asr-007245
05:39:45.310 --> 05:39:47.810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: depending on what kind of,

asr-007246
05:39:47.810 --> 05:39:49.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what kind of,

asr-007247
05:39:49.470 --> 05:39:49.610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what,

asr-007248
05:39:50.190 --> 05:39:52.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how do I describe this?

asr-007249
05:39:52.890 --> 05:39:56.630
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What level of investment has already been put into that LGU?

asr-007250
05:39:56.690 --> 05:39:57.250
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, for example,

asr-007251
05:39:57.730 --> 05:39:58.910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: completed building.

asr-007252
05:39:59.730 --> 05:40:00.970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because what happens is,

asr-007253
05:40:01.250 --> 05:40:03.710
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: whether you're a senator or a congressman,

asr-007254
05:40:03.870 --> 05:40:07.010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you'll get asked for equipment,

asr-007255
05:40:07.310 --> 05:40:08.570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and they don't have a building yet.

asr-007256
05:40:09.150 --> 05:40:10.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, in fairness,

asr-007257
05:40:10.930 --> 05:40:15.010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to your predecessors and the team that really supported it,

asr-007258
05:40:15.010 --> 05:40:17.610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they showed me that

asr-007259
05:40:17.610 --> 05:40:19.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this equipment,

asr-007260
05:40:19.510 --> 05:40:21.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you can give them equipment

asr-007261
05:40:21.110 --> 05:40:23.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because there's a building that's functional.

asr-007262
05:40:23.110 --> 05:40:26.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, we were able to tell those who would come to us

asr-007263
05:40:26.110 --> 05:40:28.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and tell them clearly that,

asr-007264
05:40:28.110 --> 05:40:30.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sen, why can't we get equipment?

asr-007265
05:40:30.110 --> 05:40:33.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because by the time LGU will be able to bid out that,

asr-007266
05:40:33.110 --> 05:40:34.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or whatever,

asr-007267
05:40:34.110 --> 05:40:36.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it will take a year.

asr-007268
05:40:36.110 --> 05:40:38.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, that's why the equipment is there.

asr-007269
05:40:38.110 --> 05:40:39.610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's already equipment there.

asr-007270
05:40:39.610 --> 05:40:41.610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You can give it as soon as you're building it.

asr-007271
05:40:41.610 --> 05:40:43.610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, we have to explain these things to them.

asr-007272
05:40:43.610 --> 05:40:45.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To just share that,

asr-007273
05:40:45.110 --> 05:40:47.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we don't really care,

asr-007274
05:40:47.110 --> 05:40:49.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but that list has helped us

asr-007275
05:40:49.110 --> 05:40:53.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: explain to our constituents from all over the country

asr-007276
05:40:53.310 --> 05:40:54.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how the system works.

asr-007277
05:40:54.510 --> 05:40:56.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if it's implemented properly,

asr-007278
05:40:56.510 --> 05:40:58.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's okay.

asr-007279
05:40:58.510 --> 05:41:00.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, does that list still exist?

asr-007280
05:41:02.940 --> 05:41:03.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes, ma'am.

asr-007281
05:41:03.540 --> 05:41:06.740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And we also have an omnibus requirement now

asr-007282
05:41:06.740 --> 05:41:08.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that we will not include

asr-007283
05:41:08.240 --> 05:41:09.640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if the site conditions,

asr-007284
05:41:09.640 --> 05:41:11.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: what we've mentioned earlier.

asr-007285
05:41:11.140 --> 05:41:13.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So, it's more structured.

asr-007286
05:41:13.340 --> 05:41:14.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it's like that.

asr-007287
05:41:14.040 --> 05:41:15.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because I also handled the budget of DepEd,

asr-007288
05:41:15.940 --> 05:41:16.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's also like that.

asr-007289
05:41:16.740 --> 05:41:17.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Those who request a school,

asr-007290
05:41:17.940 --> 05:41:20.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's also not possible if it's not site-approved,

asr-007291
05:41:20.440 --> 05:41:23.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with all the proper documentations

asr-007292
05:41:23.440 --> 05:41:24.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that the land owner has,

asr-007293
05:41:24.840 --> 05:41:26.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: either it's a long-term lease for you,

asr-007294
05:41:26.840 --> 05:41:28.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or, I don't know, ownership,

asr-007295
05:41:28.040 --> 05:41:29.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: whatever the requirement is.

asr-007296
05:41:29.240 --> 05:41:31.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, that's good that we put that on record.

asr-007297
05:41:31.840 --> 05:41:33.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because that's in place.

asr-007298
05:41:33.140 --> 05:41:36.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm not aware that...

asr-007299
05:41:36.240 --> 05:41:39.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Well, because I attribute good faith.

asr-007300
05:41:39.840 --> 05:41:41.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if that's followed,

asr-007301
05:41:41.340 --> 05:41:43.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it should be fairly good.

asr-007302
05:41:43.940 --> 05:41:45.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Should be.

asr-007303
05:41:45.840 --> 05:41:47.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then, on that note then,

asr-007304
05:41:47.240 --> 05:41:50.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I also heard the discussion on super health centers.

asr-007305
05:41:50.440 --> 05:41:54.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Taguig City has very successful super health centers.

asr-007306
05:41:54.440 --> 05:41:58.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And the reason for that is Taguig City prioritizes healthcare.

asr-007307
05:41:58.140 --> 05:42:01.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, they pay for whatever is required

asr-007308
05:42:01.540 --> 05:42:05.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to keep that super health center up and running.

asr-007309
05:42:05.740 --> 05:42:09.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I understand how other LGUs may have problems doing it.

asr-007310
05:42:09.040 --> 05:42:11.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I think the challenge that you have

asr-007311
05:42:11.640 --> 05:42:17.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is to be politically savvy enough

asr-007312
05:42:17.040 --> 05:42:20.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to put those super health centers...

asr-007313
05:42:20.040 --> 05:42:23.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because whenever we talk about banning

asr-007314
05:42:23.740 --> 05:42:26.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and prohibiting this,

asr-007315
05:42:26.140 --> 05:42:28.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's a little bit dangerous because

asr-007316
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

asr-007317
05:42:30.740 --> 05:42:32.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and a super health center?

asr-007318
05:42:32.440 --> 05:42:37.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's when it is haphazardly implemented

asr-007319
05:42:37.540 --> 05:42:38.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when we have a problem.

asr-007320
05:42:38.640 --> 05:42:42.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, your job includes being politically savvy enough

asr-007321
05:42:42.940 --> 05:42:45.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to say that LGUs mag-share kayo dyan.

asr-007322
05:42:45.440 --> 05:42:46.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mag-share kayo dyan.

asr-007323
05:42:46.340 --> 05:42:47.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: When it's being done, right?

asr-007324
05:42:47.940 --> 05:42:49.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just wanted to elicit that response.

asr-007325
05:42:50.040 --> 05:42:54.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretary Mercado, from your end,

asr-007326
05:42:54.240 --> 05:42:55.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because it's not as if it's not being done.

asr-007327
05:42:55.940 --> 05:42:58.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And also, I also didn't hear it said,

asr-007328
05:42:58.440 --> 05:43:00.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but I know it is a practice,

asr-007329
05:43:00.040 --> 05:43:04.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that you enter into a MOA with these LGUs

asr-007330
05:43:04.940 --> 05:43:08.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: saying that when we construct this facility for you,

asr-007331
05:43:08.540 --> 05:43:10.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you will run it.

asr-007332
05:43:10.140 --> 05:43:14.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I think it's important that your team really examines

asr-007333
05:43:14.640 --> 05:43:16.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yung sinasabing hindi pinapatakbo.

asr-007334
05:43:16.740 --> 05:43:17.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ano ba nangyari doon?

asr-007335
05:43:17.640 --> 05:43:19.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Wala bang usapan yon?

asr-007336
05:43:19.140 --> 05:43:21.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Natalo ba yung kandidatong kausap nila?

asr-007337
05:43:21.140 --> 05:43:23.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kaya yung bago ayaw na?

asr-007338
05:43:23.140 --> 05:43:26.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because technically, that is an obligation

asr-007339
05:43:26.140 --> 05:43:29.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the juridical entity, which is the city.

asr-007340
05:43:29.240 --> 05:43:31.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, that should be a continuing obligation.

asr-007341
05:43:31.240 --> 05:43:32.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, baka we can look into this.

asr-007342
05:43:32.640 --> 05:43:34.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi ang sama lang pakinggan sa public.

asr-007343
05:43:34.440 --> 05:43:36.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's why I wanted to bring it up again.

asr-007344
05:43:36.640 --> 05:43:38.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Nang masagot naman ninyo ng maayos.

asr-007345
05:43:38.640 --> 05:43:40.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi para namang wala kayong kapakipakialam.

asr-007346
05:43:40.840 --> 05:43:42.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Which I know is not true.

asr-007347
05:43:42.840 --> 05:43:44.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I know it's not true.

asr-007348
05:43:44.440 --> 05:43:47.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, number one, tama ba ako na MOA yan?

asr-007349
05:43:47.640 --> 05:43:49.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi I would always ask,

asr-007350
05:43:49.140 --> 05:43:52.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the obligations are very clear,

asr-007351
05:43:52.140 --> 05:43:54.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that DOH will construct it

asr-007352
05:43:54.140 --> 05:43:56.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then you will manage it.

asr-007353
05:43:56.140 --> 05:43:58.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then, ito yung hindi ko alam.

asr-007354
05:43:58.140 --> 05:44:01.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, kindly respond in, you know,

asr-007355
05:44:01.140 --> 05:44:02.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what is the practice now.

asr-007356
05:44:02.140 --> 05:44:03.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But napag-usapan din yon,

asr-007357
05:44:03.640 --> 05:44:06.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that there can be shared,

asr-007358
05:44:06.140 --> 05:44:08.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: LGUs can share a facility.

asr-007359
05:44:08.140 --> 05:44:09.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In as much as,

asr-007360
05:44:09.140 --> 05:44:11.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang laki siguro ng isang probinsya,

asr-007361
05:44:11.140 --> 05:44:13.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero you choose to put it doon sa kanto

asr-007362
05:44:13.140 --> 05:44:15.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na malapit doon sa isang probinsya din,

asr-007363
05:44:15.140 --> 05:44:18.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: para province B can also share.

asr-007364
05:44:18.140 --> 05:44:19.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kahit na,

asr-007365
05:44:19.140 --> 05:44:21.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pinipilit ni governor ng province A

asr-007366
05:44:21.140 --> 05:44:23.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na kailangan niya doon sa sentral,

asr-007367
05:44:23.140 --> 05:44:26.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero sa MOA kasi kailangan din natin asikasuin habang wala pa to,

asr-007368
05:44:26.140 --> 05:44:28.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: may ganoon naman siguro tayo,

asr-007369
05:44:28.140 --> 05:44:30.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Secretary, di ba?

asr-007370
05:44:30.140 --> 05:44:32.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Madam, Mr. Chair,

asr-007371
05:44:32.140 --> 05:44:34.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: yun nga po yung gusto kong gawin eh.

asr-007372
05:44:34.140 --> 05:44:36.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Meron na po talagang yung

asr-007373
05:44:36.140 --> 05:44:40.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: how to analyze a healthcare provider network

asr-007374
05:44:40.140 --> 05:44:42.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in certain catchment population

asr-007375
05:44:42.140 --> 05:44:44.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that will now,

asr-007376
05:44:44.140 --> 05:44:46.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: parang

asr-007377
05:44:46.140 --> 05:44:48.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: allocative efficiency,

asr-007378
05:44:48.140 --> 05:44:50.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to determine

asr-007379
05:44:50.140 --> 05:44:52.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if there's already one CT scan, for example,

asr-007380
05:44:52.140 --> 05:44:54.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: and it can cover a certain geographic area,

asr-007381
05:44:54.140 --> 05:44:56.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: then you don't need to buy,

asr-007382
05:44:56.140 --> 05:44:58.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to have another CT scan,

asr-007383
05:44:58.140 --> 05:44:59.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: right across town.

asr-007384
05:44:59.140 --> 05:45:00.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: So ang tawag po doon,

asr-007385
05:45:00.260 --> 05:45:02.840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: before was Certificate of

asr-007386
05:45:02.840 --> 05:45:04.860
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Needs. And there's a scientific way

asr-007387
05:45:04.860 --> 05:45:06.540
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: of determining if the

asr-007388
05:45:06.540 --> 05:45:08.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: current supply already

asr-007389
05:45:08.880 --> 05:45:10.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: can only

asr-007390
05:45:10.340 --> 05:45:12.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: sustain one,

asr-007391
05:45:12.560 --> 05:45:14.820
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: it should not allow another

asr-007392
05:45:14.820 --> 05:45:18.560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: service of the same kind.

asr-007393
05:45:18.560 --> 05:45:19.880
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Just so, we can put

asr-007394
05:45:19.880 --> 05:45:22.260
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: another service that is not yet available

asr-007395
05:45:22.260 --> 05:45:24.240
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: in a healthcare network.

asr-007396
05:45:24.360 --> 05:45:26.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Maybe you have a heart, maybe the next

asr-007397
05:45:26.200 --> 05:45:28.520
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: is a stroke, the next is cancer,

asr-007398
05:45:28.520 --> 05:45:30.440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the next is a different

asr-007399
05:45:30.440 --> 05:45:32.740
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: service. So, that's

asr-007400
05:45:32.740 --> 05:45:34.660
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: what we're going to look at. And I need

asr-007401
05:45:34.660 --> 05:45:36.840
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: help, Karen, from the legislators

asr-007402
05:45:36.840 --> 05:45:38.400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: to give us

asr-007403
05:45:38.400 --> 05:45:40.340
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: the power to determine

asr-007404
05:45:40.340 --> 05:45:42.720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: if this is based on our analysis

asr-007405
05:45:42.720 --> 05:45:43.720
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: that should be put.

asr-007406
05:45:44.580 --> 05:45:46.380
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And if there are...

asr-007407
05:45:46.380 --> 05:45:48.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You already have that power. I don't think

asr-007408
05:45:48.600 --> 05:45:50.120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you have to ask us for that power.

asr-007409
05:45:50.860 --> 05:45:51.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You already have that power.

asr-007410
05:45:52.360 --> 05:45:54.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: During the budget,

asr-007411
05:45:55.320 --> 05:45:56.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: perhaps

asr-007412
05:45:56.280 --> 05:45:58.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: more in the

asr-007413
05:45:58.380 --> 05:46:00.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: House, because they are

asr-007414
05:46:00.000 --> 05:46:02.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hands-on with their constituents, then of course

asr-007415
05:46:02.480 --> 05:46:04.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they will lobby. There's nothing wrong

asr-007416
05:46:04.400 --> 05:46:06.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with them lobbying for the needs of their constituents.

asr-007417
05:46:06.500 --> 05:46:07.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But you have that power.

asr-007418
05:46:08.160 --> 05:46:09.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They may override you because

asr-007419
05:46:09.620 --> 05:46:11.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the Constitution allows

asr-007420
05:46:11.640 --> 05:46:14.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: members of Congress to

asr-007421
05:46:14.060 --> 05:46:16.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: amend, but that's where

asr-007422
05:46:16.260 --> 05:46:18.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think our chairman was saying that, at least

asr-007423
05:46:18.380 --> 05:46:20.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: on our part, we're doing our best to

asr-007424
05:46:20.320 --> 05:46:22.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: support you because of the expertise. But I

asr-007425
05:46:22.160 --> 05:46:24.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: need to also express that there's

asr-007426
05:46:24.000 --> 05:46:25.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: expertise for the

asr-007427
05:46:25.260 --> 05:46:28.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: members of the House,

asr-007428
05:46:28.380 --> 05:46:30.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for the mayors, for the needs of their constituents.

asr-007429
05:46:30.400 --> 05:46:32.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So like I said, it's not easy,

asr-007430
05:46:32.180 --> 05:46:33.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: granted. But you have to

asr-007431
05:46:33.980 --> 05:46:34.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: exercise

asr-007432
05:46:34.380 --> 05:46:39.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a lot of...

asr-007433
05:46:39.980 --> 05:46:41.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Well, the term I use is

asr-007434
05:46:41.520 --> 05:46:42.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: be politically savvy.

asr-007435
05:46:43.220 --> 05:46:45.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Here first, there later on.

asr-007436
05:46:46.520 --> 05:46:48.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But anyway, I think

asr-007437
05:46:48.020 --> 05:46:49.860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we're quite clear on that. Secretary,

asr-007438
05:46:49.980 --> 05:46:52.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just want to let you know that last year,

asr-007439
05:46:53.140 --> 05:46:54.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DOH already...

asr-007440
05:46:54.180 --> 05:46:55.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DOH mentioned that there were 300...

asr-007441
05:46:56.520 --> 05:46:58.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They called it haunted health

asr-007442
05:46:58.000 --> 05:46:59.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: facilities. And we want...

asr-007443
05:46:59.940 --> 05:47:01.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We asked for a breakdown because

asr-007444
05:47:01.460 --> 05:47:03.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's bad to hear that from the public.

asr-007445
05:47:03.760 --> 05:47:04.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't want to just

asr-007446
05:47:04.700 --> 05:47:07.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: news it. Such negative

asr-007447
05:47:07.760 --> 05:47:09.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: news for our country. I don't want that.

asr-007448
05:47:09.920 --> 05:47:11.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I'm just letting you know that they said

asr-007449
05:47:11.620 --> 05:47:13.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that. Maybe you can come back

asr-007450
05:47:13.780 --> 05:47:15.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to this. You can ask the team

asr-007451
05:47:15.140 --> 05:47:16.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: where that info came from.

asr-007452
05:47:17.320 --> 05:47:19.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Basically, when they say haunted, there's no

asr-007453
05:47:19.140 --> 05:47:21.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: equipment. But no equipment

asr-007454
05:47:21.780 --> 05:47:24.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: haunted

asr-007455
05:47:24.300 --> 05:47:25.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in the sense that

asr-007456
05:47:25.840 --> 05:47:27.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's deserted. It's not being

asr-007457
05:47:27.800 --> 05:47:28.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: used.

asr-007458
05:47:29.280 --> 05:47:31.860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Maybe you can look into

asr-007459
05:47:31.860 --> 05:47:33.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that. Because for them to say, for the

asr-007460
05:47:33.720 --> 05:47:34.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretary to say that,

asr-007461
05:47:36.260 --> 05:47:37.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think it was the Secretary who said

asr-007462
05:47:37.820 --> 05:47:39.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that, the previous Secretary, maybe

asr-007463
05:47:39.560 --> 05:47:41.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's a good thing. So maybe you can look into it

asr-007464
05:47:41.480 --> 05:47:43.680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then you can give us revised numbers.

asr-007465
05:47:44.720 --> 05:47:45.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We will do.

asr-007466
05:47:45.660 --> 05:47:46.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's a good thing.

asr-007467
05:47:47.980 --> 05:47:48.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007468
05:47:56.160 --> 05:47:57.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So are we ready with my

asr-007469
05:47:57.800 --> 05:47:59.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: slide? Okay, that's my slide.

asr-007470
05:48:00.220 --> 05:48:01.680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretary, this is

asr-007471
05:48:01.680 --> 05:48:02.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for President

asr-007472
05:48:02.500 --> 05:48:05.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Bevho. It's good news for you in the sense

asr-007473
05:48:05.620 --> 05:48:07.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that I'm pretty sure you know

asr-007474
05:48:07.600 --> 05:48:09.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this. You've followed this discussion

asr-007475
05:48:09.700 --> 05:48:11.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for many years. But I presented

asr-007476
05:48:11.560 --> 05:48:13.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this to the DBCC, to the

asr-007477
05:48:13.660 --> 05:48:15.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: economic team. Because if I

asr-007478
05:48:15.600 --> 05:48:17.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: just present this to you, you're limited

asr-007479
05:48:17.740 --> 05:48:19.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to what you already have, what was given to

asr-007480
05:48:19.640 --> 05:48:21.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you. You can't do anything. All you can do is

asr-007481
05:48:21.740 --> 05:48:23.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: wishfully

asr-007482
05:48:23.340 --> 05:48:25.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: express your

asr-007483
05:48:25.320 --> 05:48:29.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: alignment with

asr-007484
05:48:29.480 --> 05:48:31.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our desire for you to have this.

asr-007485
05:48:31.680 --> 05:48:33.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But for the record, I will read

asr-007486
05:48:33.560 --> 05:48:35.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it. This is the

asr-007487
05:48:35.200 --> 05:48:37.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: unallocated syntax. So the

asr-007488
05:48:37.360 --> 05:48:38.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: syntax law

asr-007489
05:48:38.460 --> 05:48:41.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: requires that

asr-007490
05:48:41.000 --> 05:48:42.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the revenue from

asr-007491
05:48:42.600 --> 05:48:45.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the SYN products,

asr-007492
05:48:45.740 --> 05:48:47.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a certain portion is earmarked for

asr-007493
05:48:47.460 --> 05:48:49.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: field health. And so in

asr-007494
05:48:49.100 --> 05:48:51.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2023, the earmarked amount was

asr-007495
05:48:51.460 --> 05:48:53.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 83.90 billion pesos.

asr-007496
05:48:53.880 --> 05:48:55.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What appeared in the NEP

asr-007497
05:48:55.420 --> 05:48:57.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was 79. And in the

asr-007498
05:48:57.500 --> 05:48:59.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: final version, which is called

asr-007499
05:48:59.260 --> 05:49:01.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Daga'a, 79 pa rin. So may kulang

asr-007500
05:49:01.620 --> 05:49:03.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na 4.90 billion.

asr-007501
05:49:03.740 --> 05:49:05.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In 2024, 79

asr-007502
05:49:05.700 --> 05:49:07.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: B was earmarked.

asr-007503
05:49:08.380 --> 05:49:09.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 80 B was provided

asr-007504
05:49:09.740 --> 05:49:11.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in the NEP. Only 40

asr-007505
05:49:11.400 --> 05:49:12.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in Daga'a. And so

asr-007506
05:49:12.960 --> 05:49:15.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the deficiency is 38.73

asr-007507
05:49:16.120 --> 05:49:17.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: billion. In

asr-007508
05:49:17.280 --> 05:49:20.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2025, 69.81

asr-007509
05:49:20.000 --> 05:49:21.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: billion was earmarked.

asr-007510
05:49:21.980 --> 05:49:23.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In the NEP, it was still

asr-007511
05:49:23.480 --> 05:49:25.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: less, 53.13 billion.

asr-007512
05:49:26.260 --> 05:49:27.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In Daga'a, it was

asr-007513
05:49:27.320 --> 05:49:29.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: zero. So ang deficiency was

asr-007514
05:49:29.140 --> 05:49:31.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 69.81 billion.

asr-007515
05:49:31.620 --> 05:49:32.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then

asr-007516
05:49:32.980 --> 05:49:35.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in

asr-007517
05:49:35.200 --> 05:49:37.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2026, ito yung

asr-007518
05:49:37.760 --> 05:49:40.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: napaglaban namin para sa inyo.

asr-007519
05:49:40.240 --> 05:49:41.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama? Ito yun. Okay.

asr-007520
05:49:41.960 --> 05:49:43.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm so confused because every year

asr-007521
05:49:43.980 --> 05:49:45.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I've been doing this. So

asr-007522
05:49:45.560 --> 05:49:48.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in 2026, that was the year na hanggang

asr-007523
05:49:48.180 --> 05:49:50.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: last day ng extended, extended,

asr-007524
05:49:50.380 --> 05:49:52.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: extended bicameral conference

asr-007525
05:49:52.140 --> 05:49:54.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: meetings namin, kinabol

asr-007526
05:49:54.160 --> 05:49:56.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: namin yung amount na ito. And

asr-007527
05:49:56.020 --> 05:49:57.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: therefore, zero.

asr-007528
05:49:57.880 --> 05:50:00.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Success po tayo dyan. Walang utang

asr-007529
05:50:00.280 --> 05:50:01.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yan. So supposed to be nakukuha.

asr-007530
05:50:01.620 --> 05:50:03.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung lahat yan. I'm not going to even ask

asr-007531
05:50:03.940 --> 05:50:05.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you how it was used because obviously you're

asr-007532
05:50:05.840 --> 05:50:06.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: new, but

asr-007533
05:50:06.700 --> 05:50:09.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that amount should have been delivered

asr-007534
05:50:09.820 --> 05:50:12.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to you. Now for 2027,

asr-007535
05:50:12.200 --> 05:50:12.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: this is new.

asr-007536
05:50:14.120 --> 05:50:15.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I asked

asr-007537
05:50:15.300 --> 05:50:17.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the economic managers

asr-007538
05:50:17.480 --> 05:50:20.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how much was the syntax

asr-007539
05:50:20.000 --> 05:50:21.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: earmarked for PhilHealth

asr-007540
05:50:21.520 --> 05:50:24.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and they told me it was 75.2

asr-007541
05:50:24.440 --> 05:50:26.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: billion. They gave me these figures.

asr-007542
05:50:26.440 --> 05:50:27.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then I asked

asr-007543
05:50:27.440 --> 05:50:29.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how much is in the NEP?

asr-007544
05:50:29.840 --> 05:50:31.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it's 55.4.

asr-007545
05:50:31.500 --> 05:50:33.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I asked, so therefore

asr-007546
05:50:33.700 --> 05:50:35.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and in deficiency, it's

asr-007547
05:50:35.180 --> 05:50:37.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 19.78. So

asr-007548
05:50:37.400 --> 05:50:39.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they owe this to PhilHealth.

asr-007549
05:50:39.400 --> 05:50:40.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They owe this to you.

asr-007550
05:50:43.780 --> 05:50:45.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I asked my team to refresh

asr-007551
05:50:45.480 --> 05:50:46.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: my memory.

asr-007552
05:50:47.800 --> 05:50:49.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They did not

asr-007553
05:50:49.360 --> 05:50:51.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: disagree with me that by

asr-007554
05:50:51.460 --> 05:50:53.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: law, this is owed to PhilHealth.

asr-007555
05:50:53.740 --> 05:50:55.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But they did not say anything

asr-007556
05:50:55.240 --> 05:50:57.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: further. So

asr-007557
05:50:57.080 --> 05:50:59.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Secretariat is the chairman

asr-007558
05:50:59.160 --> 05:51:00.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of PhilHealth

asr-007559
05:51:00.500 --> 05:51:01.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: PhilHealth.

asr-007560
05:51:01.500 --> 05:51:01.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And obviously,

asr-007561
05:51:02.480 --> 05:51:03.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Doc Bev as the president,

asr-007562
05:51:04.580 --> 05:51:05.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you have to fight for this.

asr-007563
05:51:05.820 --> 05:51:07.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because these are funds that you're asking for.

asr-007564
05:51:08.240 --> 05:51:09.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I take note that

asr-007565
05:51:09.780 --> 05:51:10.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: earlier,

asr-007566
05:51:11.700 --> 05:51:14.120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: President Bev said that the request

asr-007567
05:51:14.120 --> 05:51:15.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was 800 billion

asr-007568
05:51:15.840 --> 05:51:17.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for PhilHealth, right?

asr-007569
05:51:20.440 --> 05:51:21.080
PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho: 374

asr-007570
05:51:21.220 --> 05:51:22.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did the 800 come from?

asr-007571
05:51:23.280 --> 05:51:25.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Realization of UHC.

asr-007572
05:51:25.700 --> 05:51:26.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, yes, yes. Okay.

asr-007573
05:51:26.800 --> 05:51:28.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Realization of UHC. Sorry, sorry. To be clear.

asr-007574
05:51:28.840 --> 05:51:29.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Um,

asr-007575
05:51:30.760 --> 05:51:32.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but then what was

asr-007576
05:51:32.780 --> 05:51:35.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: allocated under the NEP is 74 billion.

asr-007577
05:51:35.240 --> 05:51:37.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then later on. So if we go with that alone,

asr-007578
05:51:38.240 --> 05:51:43.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there's a deficiency of 726 billion, more or less.

asr-007579
05:51:44.520 --> 05:51:46.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then you also gave another number.

asr-007580
05:51:46.220 --> 05:51:48.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: This is the minimum that you can work with.

asr-007581
05:51:48.080 --> 05:51:49.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And that was 244 billion.

asr-007582
05:51:50.240 --> 05:51:54.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So 244 billion minus 74 billion, which was allocated,

asr-007583
05:51:54.020 --> 05:51:56.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: leaves you with 170 billion.

asr-007584
05:51:57.860 --> 05:51:58.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There.

asr-007585
05:51:59.060 --> 05:51:59.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There it is.

asr-007586
05:52:00.180 --> 05:52:02.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 133. If you subtract that,

asr-007587
05:52:02.440 --> 05:52:03.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's almost covered.

asr-007588
05:52:03.720 --> 05:52:05.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But if you even add

asr-007589
05:52:05.360 --> 05:52:07.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: PCSO and PAGCOR,

asr-007590
05:52:07.680 --> 05:52:11.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and that figure is 66.21 billion,

asr-007591
05:52:12.020 --> 05:52:13.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the total of all of this

asr-007592
05:52:13.640 --> 05:52:15.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is 386 billion.

asr-007593
05:52:15.680 --> 05:52:16.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You still have 64 left over.

asr-007594
05:52:17.240 --> 05:52:18.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you're not at the minimum.

asr-007595
05:52:19.060 --> 05:52:20.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, how would you feel

asr-007596
05:52:20.740 --> 05:52:22.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: if, you know,

asr-007597
05:52:22.540 --> 05:52:24.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: me as a mother, I told my kids,

asr-007598
05:52:25.400 --> 05:52:27.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: oh, okay, you have to be vaccinated.

asr-007599
05:52:28.120 --> 05:52:28.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then,

asr-007600
05:52:29.080 --> 05:52:30.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: aside from vaccination as an infant,

asr-007601
05:52:30.900 --> 05:52:32.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of course, if you're sick,

asr-007602
05:52:32.440 --> 05:52:34.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I have, I have budget here.

asr-007603
05:52:34.580 --> 05:52:35.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you can go to a doctor

asr-007604
05:52:35.760 --> 05:52:37.640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then if there's an emergency, et cetera,

asr-007605
05:52:37.740 --> 05:52:39.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: then say, but bare minimum lang tayo,

asr-007606
05:52:39.460 --> 05:52:40.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: dun lang tayo sa vaccination.

asr-007607
05:52:41.160 --> 05:52:44.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It doesn't sound like health is being prioritized, right?

asr-007608
05:52:44.440 --> 05:52:47.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I would love for you to have more than your minimum.

asr-007609
05:52:47.860 --> 05:52:50.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I'm telling you, by law, you have it.

asr-007610
05:52:50.760 --> 05:52:53.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So by law, you have the right to fight for it.

asr-007611
05:52:53.820 --> 05:52:55.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And we will fight with you.

asr-007612
05:52:55.460 --> 05:52:56.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But the main job,

asr-007613
05:52:57.160 --> 05:53:00.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our main job was done when we passed this law.

asr-007614
05:53:00.780 --> 05:53:02.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then when we do oversight,

asr-007615
05:53:02.440 --> 05:53:03.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: like in the budget,

asr-007616
05:53:03.420 --> 05:53:05.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na paulit-ulit kaming parang sirang plaka.

asr-007617
05:53:06.840 --> 05:53:08.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you have to fight for it

asr-007618
05:53:08.380 --> 05:53:11.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because the Filipino people deserve this.

asr-007619
05:53:11.720 --> 05:53:13.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it was allocated for health.

asr-007620
05:53:13.460 --> 05:53:16.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was not allocated for economic recovery.

asr-007621
05:53:16.740 --> 05:53:19.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was not allocated for some other important need.

asr-007622
05:53:19.780 --> 05:53:21.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was allocated for health.

asr-007623
05:53:21.820 --> 05:53:25.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So this is not to diminish the importance of other concerns,

asr-007624
05:53:26.020 --> 05:53:27.680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but this was allocated for health.

asr-007625
05:53:29.360 --> 05:53:31.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So there you have it.

asr-007626
05:53:32.440 --> 05:53:38.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I leave those imaginary funds in your imagination.

asr-007627
05:53:41.090 --> 05:53:42.470
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I move on.

asr-007628
05:53:42.870 --> 05:53:51.610
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, quick response kasi we cannot record your nodding of your head.

asr-007629
05:53:51.670 --> 05:53:54.410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I'm putting on record, you are nodding your head vigorously,

asr-007630
05:53:54.410 --> 05:53:59.410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: both the Secretary of Health and the President of PhilHealth.

asr-007631
05:54:00.210 --> 05:54:01.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you want the funds?

asr-007632
05:54:01.230 --> 05:54:02.010
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes or no?

asr-007633
05:54:02.410 --> 05:54:02.850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes.

asr-007634
05:54:02.850 --> 05:54:03.290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007635
05:54:03.490 --> 05:54:04.150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tanong ko sa lahat.

asr-007636
05:54:04.150 --> 05:54:04.790
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ang kasama nyo.

asr-007637
05:54:04.890 --> 05:54:05.890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you want the funds?

asr-007638
05:54:06.010 --> 05:54:06.770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes or no?

asr-007639
05:54:06.990 --> 05:54:07.290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007640
05:54:07.450 --> 05:54:07.950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

asr-007641
05:54:08.570 --> 05:54:09.010
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Likewise.

asr-007642
05:54:09.170 --> 05:54:10.850
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you for bringing that up, Senator Pia.

asr-007643
05:54:10.850 --> 05:54:12.010
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I know that every year,

asr-007644
05:54:12.330 --> 05:54:14.830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: you've been bringing this up with our DBCC.

asr-007645
05:54:15.730 --> 05:54:19.750
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And these funds really belong to PhilHealth

asr-007646
05:54:19.750 --> 05:54:21.550
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and for the UAC implementation

asr-007647
05:54:21.550 --> 05:54:24.330
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and not for any other purpose.

asr-007648
05:54:24.510 --> 05:54:25.790
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Talagang kanila yan eh.

asr-007649
05:54:25.850 --> 05:54:28.610
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So we will just have to keep on

asr-007650
05:54:28.610 --> 05:54:32.310
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pushing them to the wall to release,

asr-007651
05:54:32.410 --> 05:54:33.050
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kahit partial.

asr-007652
05:54:33.050 --> 05:54:34.130
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because hopefully,

asr-007653
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?

asr-007654
05:54:38.170 --> 05:54:39.890
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na about minimum,

asr-007655
05:54:39.890 --> 05:54:40.910
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: baka 200B.

asr-007656
05:54:40.910 --> 05:54:43.530
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kung hindi man 300, at least 200.

asr-007657
05:54:44.130 --> 05:54:46.090
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero kung na rin, dapat mapush.

asr-007658
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.

asr-007659
05:54:52.650 --> 05:54:53.070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

asr-007660
05:54:53.070 --> 05:54:55.730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

asr-007661
05:54:57.190 --> 05:54:58.730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you for always supporting.

asr-007662
05:54:59.030 --> 05:55:01.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sama-sama naman tayo dito sa advocacy natin.

asr-007663
05:55:01.690 --> 05:55:04.130
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Um, last few points.

asr-007664
05:55:04.150 --> 05:55:09.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Um, FDA, OIC, Atty. Tabakin,

asr-007665
05:55:09.270 --> 05:55:10.470
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I note that you're there.

asr-007666
05:55:10.470 --> 05:55:12.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I will address it to the Secretary, no?

asr-007667
05:55:12.270 --> 05:55:16.770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because the FDA is still under the Department of Health.

asr-007668
05:55:16.770 --> 05:55:20.730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But obviously, there is an OIC

asr-007669
05:55:20.730 --> 05:55:24.570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because it's your primary responsibility to handle it

asr-007670
05:55:24.570 --> 05:55:27.330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sa dami nang nasa ilalim ng DOH, no?

asr-007671
05:55:27.330 --> 05:55:32.130
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Are you familiar, Atty. Tabakin, with the vape epidemic?

asr-007672
05:55:32.130 --> 05:55:37.390
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

asr-007673
05:55:37.390 --> 05:55:37.870
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

asr-007674
05:55:37.870 --> 05:55:38.370
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

asr-007675
05:55:38.370 --> 05:55:38.510
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I'm fairly familiar.

asr-007676
05:55:38.530 --> 05:55:39.750
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Fairly familiar, Your Honour.

asr-007677
05:55:39.750 --> 05:55:40.650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Fairly.

asr-007678
05:55:40.650 --> 05:55:41.470
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What do you know?

asr-007679
05:55:41.470 --> 05:55:42.510
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Fairly familiar.

asr-007680
05:55:42.510 --> 05:55:45.570
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: I've heard, um,

asr-007681
05:55:45.570 --> 05:55:47.370
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: uh,

asr-007682
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,

asr-007683
05:55:51.350 --> 05:55:53.850
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: uh, issued, uh,

asr-007684
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,

asr-007685
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.

asr-007686
05:56:04.100 --> 05:56:06.880
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: ...

asr-007687
05:56:06.880 --> 05:56:13.920
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: ...

asr-007688
05:56:13.920 --> 05:56:19.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'll just give you some very basic statistics, Mr.

asr-007689
05:56:19.080 --> 05:56:21.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Attorney, uh, Tabakin.

asr-007690
05:56:21.620 --> 05:56:26.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Uh, the e-cigarette and vaping prevalence in the country

asr-007691
05:56:26.100 --> 05:56:29.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: among adolescents, uh, aged 10 to 19 years old,

asr-007692
05:56:29.600 --> 05:56:35.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in 2015, it was 0.8%, not even 1%, engaged in vaping.

asr-007693
05:56:35.820 --> 05:56:37.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ...

asr-007694
05:56:37.020 --> 05:56:38.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Not even 1%.

asr-007695
05:56:38.580 --> 05:56:44.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In 2023, the number is staggering, 39.9%.

asr-007696
05:56:44.220 --> 05:56:46.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 40%, basically.

asr-007697
05:56:46.380 --> 05:56:47.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: By 2026, it will be higher.

asr-007698
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.

asr-007699
05:56:55.060 --> 05:56:58.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I want to give you a very quick history, Atty. Tabakin.

asr-007700
05:56:58.240 --> 05:57:01.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You can do the research and fill in the gaps.

asr-007701
05:57:02.220 --> 05:57:03.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But it's very simple.

asr-007702
05:57:03.460 --> 05:57:07.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Vaping is the new product of the tobacco industry.

asr-007703
05:57:07.520 --> 05:57:12.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In the 1960s, the tobacco industry used actors in white lab coats

asr-007704
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.

asr-007705
05:57:17.060 --> 05:57:19.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And they specifically targeted women.

asr-007706
05:57:20.280 --> 05:57:21.760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So this is well-documented.

asr-007707
05:57:22.100 --> 05:57:23.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And there are a lot of balls there.

asr-007708
05:57:23.540 --> 05:57:26.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So now that very same playlist is being used for vapes.

asr-007709
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

asr-007710
05:57:33.180 --> 05:57:33.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from...

asr-007711
05:57:33.460 --> 05:57:35.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: advocating for vapes.

asr-007712
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,

asr-007713
05:57:38.260 --> 05:57:42.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our syntax law, again, sorry to lecture, but this is my baby.

asr-007714
05:57:42.660 --> 05:57:47.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And 40% of our youth now is vaping.

asr-007715
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...

asr-007716
05:57:55.800 --> 05:57:58.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sorry, we increased the age of access to 21 years old.

asr-007717
05:57:58.520 --> 05:57:59.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because the brain is still developing.

asr-007718
05:58:00.180 --> 05:58:02.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So we said, not even 18, we make it 21 years old.

asr-007719
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.

asr-007720
05:58:07.800 --> 05:58:09.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And the third is we banned flavors.

asr-007721
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.

asr-007722
05:58:14.440 --> 05:58:17.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So allowed lang doon is menthol and then tobacco flavor.

asr-007723
05:58:17.800 --> 05:58:18.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's it.

asr-007724
05:58:18.880 --> 05:58:21.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Shortly after that, barely a year.

asr-007725
05:58:22.000 --> 05:58:23.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm asking for a year.

asr-007726
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,

asr-007727
05:58:31.200 --> 05:58:32.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but it became a law in January.

asr-007728
05:58:32.840 --> 05:58:37.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then barely a year and a half later,

asr-007729
05:58:37.460 --> 05:58:41.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they passed the vape law that overturned those very important provisions.

asr-007730
05:58:42.320 --> 05:58:43.320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where did the country see it?

asr-007731
05:58:43.600 --> 05:58:45.000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The youth was protected.

asr-007732
05:58:45.280 --> 05:58:47.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Their access was made 21 years old.

asr-007733
05:58:47.260 --> 05:58:48.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They were put under 18.

asr-007734
05:58:48.980 --> 05:58:49.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's embarrassing.

asr-007735
05:58:49.960 --> 05:58:52.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For all the accomplishments, our hardworking diplomats do,

asr-007736
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,

asr-007737
05:58:59.280 --> 05:59:01.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in advocacy, and then here we are.

asr-007738
05:59:01.140 --> 05:59:02.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We increased the age.

asr-007739
05:59:02.840 --> 05:59:04.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We lowered the age to 18.

asr-007740
05:59:04.820 --> 05:59:07.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then the jurisdiction was transferred to DTI.

asr-007741
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,

asr-007742
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,

asr-007743
05:59:18.780 --> 05:59:20.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and now all kinds of flavors are available.

asr-007744
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,

asr-007745
05:59:25.660 --> 05:59:27.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but they are prevalent online.

asr-007746
05:59:27.400 --> 05:59:28.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, that's the history.

asr-007747
05:59:29.720 --> 05:59:31.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What is the challenge we face now?

asr-007748
05:59:31.820 --> 05:59:32.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DTI will say,

asr-007749
05:59:32.840 --> 05:59:33.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that they have the jurisdiction,

asr-007750
05:59:34.580 --> 05:59:36.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but if you look at the mandate of DTI,

asr-007751
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?

asr-007752
05:59:44.160 --> 05:59:44.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Any.

asr-007753
05:59:45.340 --> 05:59:46.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There is none.

asr-007754
05:59:47.740 --> 05:59:50.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, the exact wording of the law,

asr-007755
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,

asr-007756
05:59:54.460 --> 05:59:57.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it says that it will work with FDA.

asr-007757
05:59:58.180 --> 05:59:59.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I will read the exact wording to you.

asr-007758
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.

asr-007759
06:00:12.060 --> 06:00:13.680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, this is required of FDA.

asr-007760
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.

asr-007761
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.

asr-007762
06:00:30.350 --> 06:00:32.350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I want everybody to let that sink in.

asr-007763
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.

asr-007764
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.

asr-007765
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.

asr-007766
06:01:00.200 --> 06:01:01.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You can volunteer your services.

asr-007767
06:01:02.080 --> 06:01:03.460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because every year, I ask them.

asr-007768
06:01:03.460 --> 06:01:06.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Wala daw silang machine to test the FDA products.

asr-007769
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.

asr-007770
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.

asr-007771
06:01:31.140 --> 06:01:32.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But guess what?

asr-007772
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.

asr-007773
06:01:39.220 --> 06:01:39.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was so shocked.

asr-007774
06:01:40.360 --> 06:01:41.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That number like tripled.

asr-007775
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…

asr-007776
06:01:48.240 --> 06:01:50.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung kalaban mo sa sigarilyo, at least alam mo, tobacco.

asr-007777
06:01:50.760 --> 06:01:52.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam mo na yun, yung ill effects ng tobacco.

asr-007778
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.

asr-007779
06:01:57.780 --> 06:02:00.880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Dito sa Philippines, tinatanong ko, ilan ang naban natin?

asr-007780
06:02:01.980 --> 06:02:02.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ilan?

asr-007781
06:02:02.660 --> 06:02:03.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Wala.

asr-007782
06:02:06.050 --> 06:02:08.490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's where we are, Mr. Chairman.

asr-007783
06:02:09.430 --> 06:02:10.830
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You have the number and the flavors.

asr-007784
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.

asr-007785
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.

asr-007786
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.

asr-007787
06:02:34.930 --> 06:02:38.750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So this is needed to allow them to access their special fund.

asr-007788
06:02:38.890 --> 06:02:42.090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So do you know the status of this development plan, Attorney Tabakin?

asr-007789
06:02:42.270 --> 06:02:42.810
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Yes, Your Honor.

asr-007790
06:02:42.930 --> 06:02:43.290
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: We voted.

asr-007791
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.

asr-007792
06:02:48.210 --> 06:02:48.890
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To DPM?

asr-007793
06:02:49.690 --> 06:02:50.130
FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV: Yes.

asr-007794
06:02:50.370 --> 06:02:50.590
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007795
06:02:50.750 --> 06:02:52.410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So do we know the status?

asr-007796
06:02:52.870 --> 06:02:53.590
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Can you follow up?

asr-007797
06:02:53.810 --> 06:02:54.870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We will, Your Honor.

asr-007798
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.

asr-007799
06:02:58.310 --> 06:02:58.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007800
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,

asr-007801
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,

asr-007802
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?

asr-007803
06:03:21.370 --> 06:03:22.210
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Inspector ba tawag doon?

asr-007804
06:03:22.230 --> 06:03:23.510
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What do you call your, inspector ba?

asr-007805
06:03:23.830 --> 06:03:25.530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Those who go around checking the-

asr-007806
06:03:25.530 --> 06:03:26.090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Inspectors.

asr-007807
06:03:26.250 --> 06:03:26.570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Inspectors.

asr-007808
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.

asr-007809
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.

asr-007810
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.

asr-007811
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.

asr-007812
06:03:46.370 --> 06:03:49.290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Of course, it's a crime, but that's a problem.

asr-007813
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.

asr-007814
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.

asr-007815
06:04:03.210 --> 06:04:04.750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I remember there was a director.

asr-007816
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.

asr-007817
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.

asr-007818
06:04:15.370 --> 06:04:16.370
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hindi ko na masundan.

asr-007819
06:04:16.830 --> 06:04:18.430
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero it's essential.

asr-007820
06:04:18.650 --> 06:04:20.850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Anyway, it's already with DBM, Secretary, so you know.

asr-007821
06:04:21.170 --> 06:04:22.810
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because you need these people.

asr-007822
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,

asr-007823
06:04:32.210 --> 06:04:34.910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we, of course, would be concerned about the proliferation.

asr-007824
06:04:34.930 --> 06:04:37.750
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Of fake medicines, substandard products.

asr-007825
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.

asr-007826
06:04:42.290 --> 06:04:42.450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007827
06:04:43.790 --> 06:04:45.990
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, if I may respond a bit.

asr-007828
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.

asr-007829
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.

asr-007830
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.

asr-007831
06:05:23.330 --> 06:05:26.070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You are needed outside of the halls of the Senate.

asr-007832
06:05:26.670 --> 06:05:31.150
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Uh, I sponsored the Rheology Act.

asr-007833
06:05:31.710 --> 06:05:33.770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I opposed it in the beginning because it was my belief.

asr-007834
06:05:33.770 --> 06:05:34.330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

asr-007835
06:05:34.330 --> 06:05:34.650
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

asr-007836
06:05:34.650 --> 06:05:34.910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

asr-007837
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.

asr-007838
06:05:40.910 --> 06:05:42.410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Our existing is RITM.

asr-007839
06:05:42.490 --> 06:05:43.770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where's the head of RITM?

asr-007840
06:05:43.850 --> 06:05:46.190
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Si Director Duran?

asr-007841
06:05:47.250 --> 06:05:47.850
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yeah.

asr-007842
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.

asr-007844
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.

asr-007848
06:06:11.590 --> 06:06:12.990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I'm so disappointed now.

asr-007850
06:06:13.030 --> 06:06:15.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That has a decrease of 20 percent.

asr-007852
06:06:15.470 --> 06:06:16.350
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you know what it is?

asr-007853
06:06:16.350 --> 06:06:18.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Cause I don't know what that decrease is.

asr-007854
06:06:18.310 --> 06:06:19.910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Would, would you know off the top of your…

asr-007855
06:06:19.910 --> 06:06:22.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Would, would you know off the top of your…

asr-007856
06:06:22.580 --> 06:06:25.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Chair let's recognize Director Duran.

asr-007857
06:06:25.420 --> 06:06:29.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, Director Duran, please answer the query of Senator Gaitan.

asr-007858
06:06:33.970 --> 06:06:36.830
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Good afternoon, Senator Pia.

asr-007859
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.

asr-007860
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.

asr-007861
06:06:48.270 --> 06:06:51.230
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Let's take a moment and pause.

asr-007862
06:06:52.550 --> 06:06:53.090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Why?

asr-007863
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.

asr-007864
06:06:59.150 --> 06:06:59.870
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: On research?

asr-007865
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.

asr-007866
06:07:07.150 --> 06:07:08.730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So why did we reduce research?

asr-007867
06:07:10.090 --> 06:07:11.250
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you know why?

asr-007868
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,

asr-007869
06:07:21.090 --> 06:07:23.070
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: but not only primarily.

asr-007870
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.

asr-007871
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.

asr-007872
06:07:30.050 --> 06:07:32.830
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: All on research or iba-iba?

asr-007873
06:07:33.190 --> 06:07:34.090
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Iba-iba po.

asr-007874
06:07:34.770 --> 06:07:35.530
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Iba-iba po.

asr-007875
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.

asr-007876
06:07:41.890 --> 06:07:43.450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Nangyari na nga yung ayoko mangyari.

asr-007877
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.

asr-007878
06:07:51.160 --> 06:07:54.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Can you submit to us what your needs are?

asr-007879
06:07:55.200 --> 06:07:56.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What your priorities are?

asr-007880
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.

asr-007881
06:08:00.560 --> 06:08:01.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you very much.

asr-007882
06:08:01.420 --> 06:08:02.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi yung commitment ko stands.

asr-007883
06:08:03.020 --> 06:08:04.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You guys do a good job.

asr-007884
06:08:04.800 --> 06:08:05.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Please let your team know.

asr-007885
06:08:06.500 --> 06:08:10.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We respect what you do and we want to honor that work.

asr-007886
06:08:10.800 --> 06:08:11.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you very much, po.

asr-007887
06:08:11.780 --> 06:08:12.860
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: We're honored, po.

asr-007888
06:08:12.960 --> 06:08:13.460
RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran: Thank you, po.

asr-007889
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.

asr-007890
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.

asr-007891
06:08:21.480 --> 06:08:24.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Family planning, bumaba ng 11%.

asr-007892
06:08:24.160 --> 06:08:25.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So di ko alam.

asr-007893
06:08:25.160 --> 06:08:27.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam kung yung need has gone down.

asr-007894
06:08:27.400 --> 06:08:28.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung utilization ba, bumaba.

asr-007895
06:08:29.420 --> 06:08:30.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Dagdag ko na rin yung iba.

asr-007896
06:08:30.600 --> 06:08:35.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Health emergency and preparedness, 37% down.

asr-007897
06:08:36.000 --> 06:08:39.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Prevention and control of communicable diseases, 11% down.

asr-007898
06:08:39.840 --> 06:08:45.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then family health, immunization, nutrition, and responsible parenting, 11% down.

asr-007899
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.

asr-007900
06:08:50.680 --> 06:08:52.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So it's not a cause for concern.

asr-007901
06:08:52.420 --> 06:08:55.140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I don't have access to that right now.

asr-007902
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.

asr-007903
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.

asr-007904
06:09:03.060 --> 06:09:06.400
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: We'll just get back to you, Madam Chair.

asr-007905
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?

asr-007906
06:09:13.500 --> 06:09:13.880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

asr-007907
06:09:14.120 --> 06:09:15.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So sige, paki ano na lang.

asr-007908
06:09:15.780 --> 06:09:17.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Let's look into the details of that.

asr-007909
06:09:17.840 --> 06:09:19.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then this might be my last point.

asr-007910
06:09:19.980 --> 06:09:22.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But again, just for the hearing.

asr-007911
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...

asr-007912
06:09:25.160 --> 06:09:26.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ...attention.

asr-007913
06:09:26.940 --> 06:09:28.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Futures Thinking Office.

asr-007914
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.

asr-007915
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.

asr-007916
06:09:48.560 --> 06:09:50.100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I'm not talking about three months future.

asr-007917
06:09:50.200 --> 06:09:52.260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We're talking about the next generation.

asr-007918
06:09:52.820 --> 06:09:53.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Two generations away.

asr-007919
06:09:53.980 --> 06:09:54.560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Two generations away.

asr-007920
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.

asr-007921
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.

asr-007922
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.

asr-007923
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.

asr-007924
06:10:18.780 --> 06:10:19.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ano yung line item na yun?

asr-007938
06:10:57.560 --> 06:10:58.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I haven't heard any.

asr-007939
06:10:58.700 --> 06:10:59.680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I may have missed it.

asr-007940
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.

asr-007941
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.

asr-007942
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,

asr-007943
06:11:22.680 --> 06:11:23.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: mga health...

asr-007944
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.

asr-007945
06:11:32.940 --> 06:11:35.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's something that your futures office...

asr-007946
06:11:37.060 --> 06:11:38.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Malit lang yung budget na yan.

asr-007947
06:11:38.300 --> 06:11:39.480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But that's the whole point.

asr-007948
06:11:39.600 --> 06:11:41.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That they do the research.

asr-007949
06:11:41.700 --> 06:11:43.220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They align with...

asr-007950
06:11:43.220 --> 06:11:46.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If they have to bring in experts.

asr-007951
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.

asr-007952
06:11:51.720 --> 06:11:52.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kailangan natin.

asr-007953
06:11:52.320 --> 06:11:52.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi kayo...

asr-007954
06:11:53.440 --> 06:11:53.940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You will...

asr-007955
06:11:54.560 --> 06:11:56.680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm trying to look for a better word.

asr-007956
06:11:56.760 --> 06:11:58.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because the word that is in my mind.

asr-007957
06:11:58.240 --> 06:12:01.380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You will drown with the day-to-day work of DOH.

asr-007958
06:12:01.420 --> 06:12:02.520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I don't want you to drown.

asr-007959
06:12:02.980 --> 06:12:11.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I want you to swim like an efficient Olympic swimmer.

asr-007960
06:12:11.840 --> 06:12:12.840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Instead of drowning.

asr-007961
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.

asr-007962
06:12:23.260 --> 06:12:24.140
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Mr. Chair, yeah.

asr-007963
06:12:24.200 --> 06:12:25.200
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: That's well appreciated.

asr-007964
06:12:25.480 --> 06:12:25.780
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: And I think...

asr-007965
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.

asr-007966
06:12:30.880 --> 06:12:32.560
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Because we are...

asr-007967
06:12:32.560 --> 06:12:33.640
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: We are...

asr-007968
06:12:33.640 --> 06:12:35.440
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Pabaksin kami on the day-to-day.

asr-007969
06:12:35.820 --> 06:12:37.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And that is the purpose of the futures thinking office.

asr-007970
06:12:38.100 --> 06:12:39.080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yun lang yung gagawin niya.

asr-007971
06:12:39.600 --> 06:12:40.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Isipin yung future.

asr-007972
06:12:40.800 --> 06:12:41.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So while you're thinking na,

asr-007973
06:12:42.320 --> 06:12:44.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Eto, I have to deal with leptospirosis.

asr-007974
06:12:44.620 --> 06:12:45.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But somebody is going to tell you,

asr-007975
06:12:46.180 --> 06:12:48.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Secretary, 10 years from now, ito lang.

asr-007976
06:12:48.140 --> 06:12:50.860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In fact, 10 years is not even considered futures thinking.

asr-007977
06:12:51.060 --> 06:12:52.280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Talagang the next generation.

asr-007978
06:12:52.760 --> 06:12:53.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Two generations away.

asr-007979
06:12:53.820 --> 06:12:55.820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So that's where you make...

asr-007980
06:12:55.940 --> 06:12:58.660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Decisions between plastic and organic.

asr-007981
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.

asr-007982
06:13:05.280 --> 06:13:06.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think this is my last concern.

asr-007983
06:13:07.600 --> 06:13:09.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Alam to ng mga colleagues namin.

asr-007984
06:13:10.160 --> 06:13:12.060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero hindi ko pa ito na banggit sa iyo, Secretary.

asr-007985
06:13:14.200 --> 06:13:14.420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ah!

asr-007986
06:13:19.390 --> 06:13:26.570
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The Senate recently passed the anti-hospital detention bill.

asr-007987
06:13:26.570 --> 06:13:28.050
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And a provision is there.

asr-007988
06:13:28.690 --> 06:13:29.490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: On my...

asr-007989
06:13:29.490 --> 06:13:33.110
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: MyFIP covering the balance with every hospital.

asr-007990
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.

asr-007991
06:13:41.130 --> 06:13:44.550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because MyFIP is highly controversial.

asr-007992
06:13:45.030 --> 06:13:48.090
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Some people want legislators to include it.

asr-007993
06:13:48.190 --> 06:13:50.530
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Some people don't want legislators to include it.

asr-007994
06:13:50.890 --> 06:13:52.330
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So you have to guide us.

asr-007995
06:13:52.390 --> 06:13:54.870
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because if that law passes, it passed us.

asr-007996
06:13:54.870 --> 06:13:56.030
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero it's a matter of time.

asr-007997
06:13:56.910 --> 06:13:58.270
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think the House has a version.

asr-007998
06:13:59.330 --> 06:13:59.450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yeah.

asr-007999
06:13:59.490 --> 06:14:00.990
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So it might become...

asr-008000
06:14:00.990 --> 06:14:01.970
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Baka mag-buy-cum lang sila.

asr-008001
06:14:02.050 --> 06:14:04.310
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If that provision stays, may impact yan sa inyo.

asr-008002
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.

asr-008003
06:14:08.410 --> 06:14:10.250
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi ang hirap nagtatalo kami.

asr-008004
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.

asr-008005
06:14:17.210 --> 06:14:19.070
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pinayagan natin, nilagay doon.

asr-008006
06:14:20.070 --> 06:14:21.290
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It was an amendment made.

asr-008007
06:14:21.970 --> 06:14:22.930
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So nandun yun.

asr-008008
06:14:23.590 --> 06:14:24.450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Not by me.

asr-008009
06:14:24.630 --> 06:14:27.450
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But it's an amendment that passed in the Senate.

asr-008010
06:14:27.670 --> 06:14:27.770
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay?

asr-008011
06:14:28.370 --> 06:14:29.410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then finally...

asr-008012
06:14:29.490 --> 06:14:30.950
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Final point on MyFIP.

asr-008013
06:14:33.990 --> 06:14:36.370
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In a utopian world, walang MyFIP sana.

asr-008014
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

asr-008015
06:14:42.670 --> 06:14:44.170
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then to have to forward it.

asr-008016
06:14:44.410 --> 06:14:45.910
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But we try our best to help you.

asr-008017
06:14:46.010 --> 06:14:48.390
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because hindi namin ipo-forward yung mukhang kalukuhan din.

asr-008018
06:14:48.550 --> 06:14:49.730
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi ayaw naman natin yan.

asr-008019
06:14:49.890 --> 06:14:53.490
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So tinatry din namin ma-filter yun bago ma-recommend sa inyo.

asr-008020
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,

asr-008021
06:14:57.650 --> 06:14:58.550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but my colleagues know,

asr-008022
06:14:58.550 --> 06:14:59.550
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: me, my brother...

asr-008023
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.

asr-008024
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.

asr-008025
06:15:13.080 --> 06:15:16.120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm letting you know because my question is why?

asr-008026
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?

asr-008027
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.

asr-008028
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.

asr-008029
06:15:35.340 --> 06:15:37.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then now, we can't recommend anymore.

asr-008030
06:15:39.060 --> 06:15:42.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Has anything changed? Has anything changed in our ability to recommend?

asr-008031
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.

asr-008032
06:15:52.020 --> 06:15:55.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We don't recommend it to reduce your burden.

asr-008033
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.

asr-008034
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.

asr-008035
06:16:15.180 --> 06:16:19.500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Did I say anything here that is unfair to the administration?

asr-008036
06:16:19.780 --> 06:16:20.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't think so.

asr-008037
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.

asr-008038
06:16:24.420 --> 06:16:26.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't make any personal attacks.

asr-008039
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.

asr-008040
06:16:30.720 --> 06:16:33.740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'm letting you know that that is our situation.

asr-008041
06:16:34.200 --> 06:16:34.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

asr-008042
06:16:35.100 --> 06:16:38.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I do have more, but I will deliver it to you individually.

asr-008043
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.

asr-008044
06:16:50.120 --> 06:16:54.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: One is to monitor their accomplishments for the year.

asr-008045
06:16:54.820 --> 06:16:55.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then,

asr-008046
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.

asr-008047
06:17:04.280 --> 06:17:05.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I wanted to hear from that.

asr-008048
06:17:06.120 --> 06:17:07.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I do have another appointment.

asr-008049
06:17:07.640 --> 06:17:08.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I won't be able to.

asr-008050
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.

asr-008051
06:17:20.260 --> 06:17:22.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, thank you, everyone, for all your hard work.

asr-008052
06:17:23.060 --> 06:17:23.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

asr-008053
06:17:23.640 --> 06:17:26.100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Senator Pia, probably before you go.

asr-008054
06:17:26.220 --> 06:17:30.300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maybe that's a concern for the GOCC specialty hospitals.

asr-008055
06:17:31.840 --> 06:17:35.720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: You have subsidy reductions.

asr-008056
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.

asr-008057
06:17:49.140 --> 06:17:54.240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, Lung Center, NKTI, PCMC, and Philippine Heart Center.

asr-008058
06:17:54.240 --> 06:17:54.360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay.

asr-008059
06:17:54.740 --> 06:17:55.040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So,

asr-008060
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?

asr-008061
06:18:15.000 --> 06:18:18.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maybe, we can start with, who can start?

asr-008062
06:18:19.840 --> 06:18:25.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: NKTI, Executive Director, Ose Dante Dator.

asr-008063
06:18:25.420 --> 06:18:26.140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sir, you have the floor.

asr-008064
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.

asr-008065
06:18:43.620 --> 06:18:46.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair, Your Honor, Senator Pia.

asr-008066
06:18:46.560 --> 06:18:47.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Good afternoon.

asr-008067
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.

asr-008068
06:18:55.560 --> 06:18:56.160
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: If you will look.

asr-008069
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.

asr-008070
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.

asr-008071
06:19:25.540 --> 06:19:25.560
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: 11 months ago.

asr-008072
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.

asr-008073
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.

asr-008074
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.

asr-008075
06:19:54.920 --> 06:19:54.980
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Okay.

asr-008076
06:19:55.560 --> 06:19:56.000
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: So, that's the first part.

asr-008077
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.

asr-008078
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.

asr-008079
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.

asr-008080
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.

asr-008081
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%.

asr-008082
06:20:54.680 --> 06:20:55.120
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Okay.

asr-008083
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.

asr-008084
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.

asr-008085
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.

asr-008086
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.

asr-008087
06:21:46.980 --> 06:21:48.980
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: So this is...

asr-008088
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.

asr-008089
06:21:54.120 --> 06:21:54.920
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Thank you, Your Honor.

asr-008090
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.

asr-008091
06:22:01.940 --> 06:22:03.420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: That you would...

asr-008092
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,

asr-008093
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?

asr-008094
06:22:18.820 --> 06:22:19.180
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Addiction.

asr-008095
06:22:19.200 --> 06:22:20.320
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Additional patients for the...

asr-008096
06:22:20.320 --> 06:22:21.340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Additional patients.

asr-008097
06:22:21.980 --> 06:22:24.420
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Hemodialysis, which is mostly outpatient.

asr-008098
06:22:25.420 --> 06:22:25.700
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: But...

asr-008099
06:22:25.700 --> 06:22:30.300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For the fact, you are always at 110% capacity, right?

asr-008100
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.

asr-008101
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,

asr-008102
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.

asr-008103
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,

asr-008104
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

asr-008105
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.

asr-008106
06:23:01.100 --> 06:23:03.000
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: We will put that in writing, Your Honor.

asr-008107
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.

asr-008108
06:23:06.700 --> 06:23:07.480
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Okay, thank you.

asr-008109
06:23:08.040 --> 06:23:08.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Mr. Chairman.

asr-008110
06:23:08.740 --> 06:23:09.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, Mr. Dekitan.

asr-008111
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.

asr-008112
06:23:13.640 --> 06:23:15.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's from NEP to GAAP.

asr-008113
06:23:15.440 --> 06:23:17.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But their NEP to NEP is...

asr-008114
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.

asr-008115
06:23:23.520 --> 06:23:24.400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You know that.

asr-008116
06:23:24.540 --> 06:23:25.340
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Thank you, Your Honor.

asr-008117
06:23:25.600 --> 06:23:26.240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You're welcome.

asr-008118
06:23:27.140 --> 06:23:30.020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: NKTI, we increased your budget by 1.9 billion.

asr-008119
06:23:30.220 --> 06:23:31.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hospital services, 1 billion.

asr-008120
06:23:31.960 --> 06:23:34.580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Construction of outpatient services, 500 million.

asr-008121
06:23:36.300 --> 06:23:38.900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Procurement of linear accelerator, 400 million.

asr-008122
06:23:39.100 --> 06:23:40.040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, 1.9.

asr-008123
06:23:40.040 --> 06:23:45.800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And all the other specialty hospitals, we did the same for you.

asr-008124
06:23:46.000 --> 06:23:47.440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I hope, Mr. Chairman.

asr-008125
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.

asr-008126
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.

asr-008127
06:23:59.100 --> 06:24:02.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And the 1 billion was...

asr-008128
06:24:03.560 --> 06:24:04.300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Oh, yeah.

asr-008129
06:24:04.480 --> 06:24:05.340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: All the...

asr-008130
06:24:05.340 --> 06:24:07.960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: No, we gave 1 billion for the specialty hospitals.

asr-008131
06:24:08.120 --> 06:24:09.360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 1 billion for the specialty hospitals.

asr-008132
06:24:09.500 --> 06:24:09.980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yeah.

asr-008133
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.

asr-008134
06:24:14.380 --> 06:24:15.920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The services that you're giving.

asr-008135
06:24:16.180 --> 06:24:16.600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you.

asr-008136
06:24:17.300 --> 06:24:17.740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maybe.

asr-008137
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

asr-008138
06:24:27.580 --> 06:24:31.900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: because of our very limited fiscal space.

asr-008139
06:24:32.020 --> 06:24:33.440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Medyo mababa ang ano natin ngayon, eh,

asr-008140
06:24:33.580 --> 06:24:34.200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Fiscal space.

asr-008141
06:24:34.200 --> 06:24:37.560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So yun na lang talagang what you can...

asr-008142
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.

asr-008143
06:24:47.420 --> 06:24:47.580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So yun po,

asr-008144
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.

asr-008144-split-2
06:25:11.280 --> 06:25:12.550
NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator: Yes, sir, thank you po.

asr-008144-split-3
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.

asr-008146
06:25:18.980 --> 06:25:21.460
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

asr-008147
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.

asr-008148
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.

asr-008149
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.

asr-008150
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.

asr-008151
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.

asr-008152
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.

asr-008153
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.

asr-008154
06:26:14.820 --> 06:26:17.060
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And, of course, aside from that,

asr-008155
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.

asr-008156
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.

asr-008157
06:26:34.940 --> 06:26:38.060
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: And then, subsequently, our smoking cessation program.

asr-008158
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.

asr-008159
06:26:44.820 --> 06:26:47.000
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: So, all of that is translated.

asr-008160
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.

asr-008161
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.

asr-008162
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.

asr-008163
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.

asr-008164
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.

asr-008165
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.

asr-008166
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.

asr-008167
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.

asr-008168
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

asr-008169
06:27:47.060 --> 06:27:47.800
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Expansion.

asr-008170
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,

asr-008171
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.

asr-008172
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,

asr-008173
06:28:04.020 --> 06:28:06.260
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: providing po yung additional services.

asr-008174
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.

asr-008175
06:28:17.060 --> 06:28:18.340
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Mga 5B po siya, sir.

asr-008176
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.

asr-008176-split-2
06:28:25.220 --> 06:28:27.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Response?

asr-008176-split-3
06:28:27.780 --> 06:28:28.760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, sir.

asr-008176-split-4
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

asr-008177
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.

asr-008194
06:28:50.240 --> 06:28:50.540
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Yes.

asr-008195
06:28:51.320 --> 06:28:52.160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Have somebody

asr-008196
06:28:52.160 --> 06:28:53.200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: coordinate with them.

asr-008197
06:28:53.620 --> 06:28:54.180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's just you.

asr-008198
06:28:54.240 --> 06:28:54.720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's just you.

asr-008199
06:28:54.860 --> 06:28:55.780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just wanted to

asr-008200
06:28:55.780 --> 06:28:56.700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: put that on record

asr-008201
06:28:56.700 --> 06:28:57.620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that all of you

asr-008202
06:28:57.620 --> 06:28:58.540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have a ZBB of 1 million.

asr-008203
06:28:59.240 --> 06:29:00.100
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: Yes, we were able

asr-008204
06:29:00.100 --> 06:29:00.520
Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto: to receive.

asr-008205

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

asr-008342
06:39:29.280 --> 06:39:32.320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But yun, according to priority lang yung wish list.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dr. Avenilo Aventura, Jr., sir.

asr-008346
06:39:45.660 --> 06:39:48.880
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Napansin niyo naman po, di ba, sa Philippine Heart Center,

asr-008347
06:39:49.020 --> 06:39:55.160
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: marami po talagang mga kababayan natin na galing probinsya.

asr-008348
06:39:56.100 --> 06:39:59.780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung mga watchers nila, walang...

asr-008349
06:40:00.440 --> 06:40:02.960
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung iba dyan, nasa labas na lang, nagaantay.

asr-008350
06:40:03.580 --> 06:40:06.360
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: While makalabas yung mga pasyente nila,

asr-008351
06:40:07.180 --> 06:40:08.780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: wala silang komportabling pagpapahingahan.

asr-008352
06:40:09.780 --> 06:40:12.400
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung iba dyan, nag-boarding house na lang po,

asr-008353
06:40:12.500 --> 06:40:16.560
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: nearby villages, dyan sa UP Village or Teacher's Village.

asr-008354
06:40:16.680 --> 06:40:20.780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dyan po ako nakatira rin po noon sa Teacher's Village.

asr-008355
06:40:22.280 --> 06:40:26.040
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron tayong isinulong na halfway house

asr-008356
06:40:26.040 --> 06:40:31.280
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: para ito sa mga watchers while waiting sa kanilang mga pasyente.

asr-008357
06:40:32.140 --> 06:40:35.180
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Or even the patients, katulad dito sa PGH,

asr-008358
06:40:35.940 --> 06:40:38.840
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: meron silang bahay lingap.

asr-008359
06:40:38.840 --> 06:40:41.920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung mga pasyenteng pwede nang lumabas,

asr-008360
06:40:43.140 --> 06:40:44.860
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: hindi pa pwedeng bumiyahe,

asr-008361
06:40:45.500 --> 06:40:48.920
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: and it will help decongest the hospitals kung makakalabas na sila.

asr-008362
06:40:49.020 --> 06:40:52.780
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Meron tayong isinulong rin po na halfway house sa PGH.

asr-008363
06:40:53.220 --> 06:40:55.120
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Yung sa Heart Center,

asr-008364
06:40:56.000 --> 06:41:01.460
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: kakumusta na ho yung status nung halfway house na isinulong rin po natin mapagawa

asr-008365
06:41:01.460 --> 06:41:05.820
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: para ito sa mga watchers while waiting sa kanilang mga patients

asr-008366
06:41:05.820 --> 06:41:07.220
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na komportable naman sila.

asr-008367
06:41:07.220 --> 06:41:07.740
Dr. June Aventura: Opo.

asr-008368
06:41:08.840 --> 06:41:12.080
Dr. June Aventura: Magpapasalamang dito ako sa inyo kay Sen. Bongo

asr-008369
06:41:12.080 --> 06:41:15.500
Dr. June Aventura: dahil nga nagbabigay kayo ng funds for the halfway house.

asr-008370
06:41:15.920 --> 06:41:19.500
Dr. June Aventura: Ngayon, kasulukuyo ang ginagawa na

asr-008371
06:41:19.500 --> 06:41:22.420
Dr. June Aventura: and ang timetable niya is by the end of the month

asr-008372
06:41:22.420 --> 06:41:27.560
Dr. June Aventura: kasi humingi silang konti extension dahil nga sa ulan.

asr-008373
06:41:28.220 --> 06:41:31.000
Dr. June Aventura: So by the end of the month, matatapos na po daw yung ano

asr-008374
06:41:31.000 --> 06:41:37.220
Dr. June Aventura: and maano na, pwede na nalagyan ng mga aircon

asr-008375
06:41:37.220 --> 06:41:38.220
Dr. June Aventura: at magamit.

asr-008376
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,

asr-008377
06:41:45.860 --> 06:41:47.180
Dr. June Aventura: walang aircon nung una.

asr-008378
06:41:47.720 --> 06:41:49.900
Dr. June Aventura: Tapos ngayon, linigyan na rin namin ang aircon

asr-008379
06:41:49.900 --> 06:41:53.380
Dr. June Aventura: dahil kawawa rin sila naghihintay doon sa manilabasan.

asr-008380
06:41:53.800 --> 06:41:56.020
Dr. June Aventura: Pero ngayon, even the OPD,

asr-008381
06:41:56.940 --> 06:42:01.780
Dr. June Aventura: ginawa na namin online yung appointment system.

asr-008382
06:42:02.260 --> 06:42:06.340
Dr. June Aventura: Kaya yung linya hindi na masyadong ganong kahaba as before.

asr-008383
06:42:06.520 --> 06:42:08.280
Dr. June Aventura: Manakakaano na sila, nakakapasok na po.

asr-008384
06:42:08.840 --> 06:42:11.620
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Salamat po.

asr-008385
06:42:11.880 --> 06:42:13.600

asr-008386
06:42:14.100 --> 06:42:16.160
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: And aside from sa Philippine Heart Center,

06:42:16.340 --> 06:42:19.280
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: meron rin po sa Quirino Memorial Medical Center,

asr-008388
06:42:19.420 --> 06:42:23.100
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: sa Dr. Jose Rodriguez Memorial Hospital,

asr-008391
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,

asr-008392
06:42:38.840 --> 06:42:40.520
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na pwede pong paglagyan,

asr-008393
06:42:40.900 --> 06:42:42.900
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: baka mabigyan niyo rin po ng prioridad

asr-008394
06:42:42.900 --> 06:42:46.420
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: itong mga halfway house natin.

06:44:18.280 --> 06:44:19.880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Salamat sa iyong interventions.

asr-008428
06:44:21.020 --> 06:44:24.600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Just a few more questions.

asr-008429
06:44:26.180 --> 06:44:28.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: With regards to zero balance billing,

asr-008430
06:44:28.120 --> 06:44:29.720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: it was taken up earlier.

asr-008431
06:44:31.240 --> 06:44:32.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But based on your submission,

asr-008432
06:44:32.520 --> 06:44:37.300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 3.29 million patients benefited from zero balance billing

asr-008433
06:44:37.300 --> 06:44:39.820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: from July 2025 to July 2026.

asr-008434
06:44:40.820 --> 06:44:43.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But I would need these figures

asr-008435
06:44:43.080 --> 06:44:44.740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: para I can justify.

asr-008436
06:44:44.980 --> 06:44:47.480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I intend to increase

asr-008437
06:44:47.480 --> 06:44:50.780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung pong inyong budget for this.

asr-008438
06:44:51.080 --> 06:44:52.780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: How much was actually spent?

asr-008439
06:44:52.960 --> 06:44:54.620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro kung di man ready,

asr-008440
06:44:55.480 --> 06:44:56.780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: if you can submit it to us

asr-008441
06:44:56.780 --> 06:44:58.640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so that we can justify yung pong increase

asr-008442
06:44:58.640 --> 06:44:59.880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that we would.

asr-008443
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

asr-008444
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

asr-008445
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

asr-008446
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

asr-008447
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

asr-008448
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

asr-008449
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

asr-008450
06:45:48.160 --> 06:45:54.000
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: uh yes uh uh mr chair we will pre present those data

asr-008451
06:45:57.260 --> 06:45:58.220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yes with i would

asr-008452
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

asr-008453
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

asr-008454
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

asr-008455
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

asr-008456
06:46:26.220 --> 06:46:28.300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so of every 100 needed to implement

asr-008457
06:46:28.380 --> 06:46:30.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: zero balance but how much is paid by field health

asr-008458
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

asr-008459
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

asr-008460
06:46:46.540 --> 06:46:48.940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we can use this to justify the increase.

asr-008461
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.

asr-008462
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

asr-008463
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

asr-008464
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

asr-008465
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

asr-008466
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

asr-008467
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

asr-008468
06:47:45.730 --> 06:47:48.390
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung chemo, no, and cancer meds

asr-008469
06:47:48.390 --> 06:47:51.830
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kasama sa Cancer Assistance Fund. So

asr-008470
06:47:51.830 --> 06:47:53.830

asr-008471
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

asr-008472

asr-008474
06:48:19.710 --> 06:48:22.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: hospitals.

asr-008474-split-2
06:48:22.080 --> 06:48:23.710
Secretary Edwin M. Mercado: Yes, Mr. Chair, we will be

asr-008475
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

asr-008477
06:48:38.330 --> 06:48:43.730

asr-008483
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

asr-008484
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

asr-008485
06:49:22.470 --> 06:49:23.450
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: probably

asr-008486

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magandang gawin natin dito

06:49:31.210 --> 06:49:31.650
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: halimbawa

asr-008494
06:49:31.650 --> 06:49:33.710
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: there are some provinces

asr-008495
06:49:33.710 --> 06:49:34.230

06:49:38.970 --> 06:49:39.630
