Thank you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000030

Good morning. The Chair would like to first give his opening statement, then I would ask my colleagues also.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000031

Magandang umaga po sa ating lahat.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000032

Today, we take up the proposed 2027 budget.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000033

Of the Department of Health and its attached agencies and corporations.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000034

Health is one of the clearest tests of whether a national budget is working for the ordinary Filipinos.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000035

Ramdam agad ito kapag pumunta sila sa health center, pampublikong ospital, pharmacy, or PhilHealth accredited facility.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000036

I have never denied my bias towards healthcare.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000037

As author and principal sponsor of the Universal Healthcare Act, I want UHC to succeed and fulfill its promises.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000038

But it can only do so...

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000039

If it is sufficiently funded and properly implemented.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000040

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.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000041

I was fortunate enough to have worked with the Secretary of Health when he was field head president.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000042

And the one who took over his role was instrumental in drafting the UHC.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000043

Dr. Beverly Ho was one of the assistants.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000044

The secretaries of the UH when we were drafting and deliberating on the universal healthcare.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000045

Of course, I would like also to acknowledge Usec Albert Domingo, who was then with...

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000046

who was also with us as we were passing the universal health care.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000047

That's why I can say it's like a dream team for UHC to have Dr. Ed Mercado as secretary

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000048

who really has improved the operations of field health and implementation of UHC under his administration.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000049

So, I'm very happy to have Secretary Mercado, Dr. Bevo, Yuseg Domingo, and the rest of the officials of the DOH

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000050

who are really pro-universal health care.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000051

Ngayon tayo na ang chair ng Senate Committee on Finance.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000052

Malinaw na ang nais nating makita sa budget na ito, hindi lamang mas malaking pondo,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000053

kundi ang mas accessible na serbisyong pangkalusugan

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000054

at mas mababang medical out-of-pocket expense.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000055

The UHC Act requires us to shift toward primary and preventive care

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000056

rather than relying predominantly on hospital-based treatment.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000057

Kaya kailangan nating palakasin ang primary health care sa ating mga komunidad,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000058

kasabay ang pagpapaayos ng ating mga provincial hospitals,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000059

medical equipment at health workforce.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000060

Ngayon po ay napaganda natin through the years

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000061

itong mga apex hospitals o mga DOH-run hospitals dahil sa budget na rin ng specialty centers

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000062

na inilagay ng Senado.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000063

Gusto rin nating makita ang mas malakas na PhilHealth,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000064

a PhilHealth which can give benefit packages that reflect the actual health needs of Filipinos.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000065

Gusto rin nating matiyak ang pagpapataas pa ng PhilHealth participation sa mga hospital bills,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000066

upang mapababa ang out-of-pocket expense ng bawat pasyente.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000067

Nagpahayag po tayo na ngayong 2027,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000068

gusto natin mabigyang prayoridad ang health care ng bawat Pilipino.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000069

Iyon po ang ating ipaglalaban.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000070

Ang malusog na mamamayan ay isang mamamayan na makapag-aambag sa pag-unlad ng bayan.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000071

Universal health care was enacted so that every Filipino can receive health services

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000072

they need without financial hardship.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000073

Our task today is to determine whether the proposed 2027 budget,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000074

truly brings us closer to that promise,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000075

not only on paper, but in the patient's actual experience.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000076

So I hope that the department and its attached agencies can give us clear targets,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000077

clear timelines, and clear accountability.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000078

By the end of this hearing, we should know what a Filipino patient

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000079

should concretely expect from this budget,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000080

how much less he or she should have to pay out of pocket,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000081

and which programs Congress must strengthen to make those results possible.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000082

We assure that, this budget hearing, sabi ko nga po, bias po ako, but we will give health care programs

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000083

utmost priority.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000084

At ito po yung talagang ramdam ng taong bayan,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000085

na kahit ano pang problema,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000086

ano pang mga hamon,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000087

whatever challenges that our country is facing,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000088

as long as our countrymen,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000089

as long as the Filipinos,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000090

hangga't ramdam po nila na andiyan po ang gobyerno para umalalay po sa

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000091

kanilang oras sa pangangailangan,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000092

lalo na sa pagkakasakit, ay malaking bagay po yun.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000093

Kaya maraming maraming salamat po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000094

I'm looking forward to a very productive hearing.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000095

So I'd like to ask our colleagues,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000096

Senator Panfilo Lacson first to give his statement.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000097

None from this representation, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000098

Senator Tulfo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000099

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000100

Since I became Senator at tuwing magkakaroon ng budget hearing sa Department of Health,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000101

lagi ko pong kini-kwestiyon bakit walang palya

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000102

nagkakaroon ng mga gamot na nag-expire.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000103

Not only by the hundreds of millions, but by the billions B, billions of pesos.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000104

Ba't nangyayari ito?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000105

Samantalang maraming mga health centers tayo na sumisigaw na kulang sila sa gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000106

Maraming mga may hirap natin kababayan ng kakamatay na dahil hindi nakakarating sa kanila

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000107

yung mga gamot na they deserve.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000108

At ang palaging sinasabi ng DOH,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000109

ito raw ay nagkakaroon sila ng konting oversight, ang reason.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000110

And then number two,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000111

yung gamot daw na nag-expire,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000112

sinusoli naman daw sa mga supplier.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000113

At yung mga supplier, pinapalitan.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000114

Gigibaing ko yung,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000115

ngayong araw na ito, right now,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000116

yung kasinungalingan ng DOH for so many years

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000117

na binubudol, ini-scam

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000118

ang taongbaya na sinasabing isinusoli

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000119

ang mga gamot na nag-expire.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000120

May ebidensya ako na yung mga gamot na yun ay binabaon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000121

I have pictures here that will show

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000122

yung mga medicines na yan,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000123

binabaon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000124

Dapat may managot dyan,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000125

dapat may makulong sa kasinungalingan.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000126

Pangalawa, sa FDA,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000127

i-reserve ko na muna ang katanungan ko later on

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000128

tungkol sa mga anomalyang.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000129

Napakaraming anomalyang ang DOH.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000130

Secretary Mercado, walang kinalaman dito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000131

Yung anomalyang,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000132

talamak nung panahon ni Herbosa.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000133

And I have proof to show that.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000134

At marami siyang mga alipores.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000135

Isang alipores niya hanggang ngayon,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000136

nasa DOH pa.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000137

Yung iba, wala na.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000138

FDA.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000139

Nawala na nga itong si Teston.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000140

Praise the Lord.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000141

Pero ang pumalit naman,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000142

alipores niya,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000143

na siya ang nagbit-bit

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000144

sa FDA.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000145

By the person of Franklin Tabakin.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000146

Where is Tabakin?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000147

May kaso ka sa ombudsman, di po ba?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000148

Bakit ikaw, huwag ka na magsumagot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000149

Bakit ikaw ang na-appoint?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000150

Samantalang marami naman dyan,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000151

mas qualified pa sa iyo sa FDA.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000152

Okay?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000153

For so many years.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000154

At alam nila ins and outs ng FDA.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000155

And yet, ikaw ang in-appoint.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000156

Mali.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000157

Nagkamali ang malakanyang.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000158

Kasi binit-bit ka ni Teston.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000159

Kung saang impyerno ka nang galing,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000160

binit-bit ka ni Teston eh.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000161

Ang dami mong nilampasan,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000162

ang dami mong nilundagan,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000163

dahil ang lakas mo kay Teston.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000164

Naging deputy general ka

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000165

from director for,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000166

lumundag ka ng ilang beses.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000167

Dahil nga kay Teston,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000168

itong walang hiyan to.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000169

Ngayon,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000170

ikaw yung OIC.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000171

At meron akong balita

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000172

na ikaw raw ang gagawing director general.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000173

Dahil lamang sa ikaw ay bata-sirada ni Teston.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000174

So, ibig sabihin,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000175

yung mga kaligyahan ninyo

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000176

na ginagawa ni Teston

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000177

noong nandyan pa siya,

ang government expenditure

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000241

dun po sa out-of-pocket spending.

during COVID-19

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

2022

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000246

na kung saan naman po talaga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000247

malaki po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000248

ang ating inilagay

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000249

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

para nga po dun

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000251

Ang pinakamalaking portion po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000253

dito sa out-of-pocket spending

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000254

na nakahighlight po

Source

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000257

from the previous years

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000258

of 13.4

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000259

to 19.5

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000260

nito pong 2025.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000261

At nagbunga nga po ito

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000262

ng pagbaba

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000263

ng out-of-pocket spending

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000264

ng ating mga kababayan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000265

to 41.2%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000266

Pero napakalayo pa po nito

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000267

kasi ang objective po natin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000268

ay maibaba ito

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000269

ng mga 25%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000280

or Una para sa Kalusugan.

Source

Naaayon po ito

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000282

to the five pillars.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000283

Ang una po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000284

ay yung healthy school,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000285

workplace,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000286

and communities

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000287

which will focus

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000288

on strengthening prevention,

asr-000294

our health care

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000295

promotion activities.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000296

So kami na po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000297

ang lalapit mismo

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000298

sa ating mga kababayan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000299

kaysa hintayin pa po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000300

nating magkasakit

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000301

dahil doon lang po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000302

sila pumapasok eh

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000303

kapag sila po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000304

ay may sakit

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000305

sa ating health system.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000306

Ang pangalwa po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000307

ay a functional

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000308

primary care system

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000309

so dapat po talaga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000310

accessible to

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000311

cheap medicines

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000312

and financially

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000313

making quality

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000315

more accessible

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000316

and affordable.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000317

So yan nga po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000318

yung pagpasok ng yakap

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000319

asr-000331

governance

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000332

and patient experience.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000333

So ang gaya ko po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000334

ay magtayo po talaga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000335

ng hospital operations

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000338

how to make hospitals

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000341

monitor din po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

and also in operations.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000348

Para nga po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000350

yung pila

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000351

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000359

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000396

the universal healthcare

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

so

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000559

ang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000560

ating pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000561

2026

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000562

NEP

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000563

ay naman

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000564

10% naman pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000565

karamihan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000566

mas mataas

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000567

kaysa doon po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000568

sa nakaraang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000569

2025 NEP

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000570

pero yung pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000571

sa GAA

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000572

ito naman po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000573

ay

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000574

pag-uusapan pa po ng House of Congress, both House, Lower House and Upper House.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000575

Pero kung ikukumpara po natin yung ating 2026 NEP doon po sa nakaraang 2026 GAA, ito po yung mas mababa ng 21.2%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000576

Next slide po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000577

So ito po yung breakdown naman according to our three buckets ng ating usual expense.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000578

Ang PS po, which is the salaries and wages, personal salary PS, is at P218 billion, which is the largest share, and 20% higher than the previous 2026 NEP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000579

Ang ating pong, sorry, yung pula po ang maintenance and other operating expense, sorry po, MOOE po yun.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000580

Ang nakasama din po yung capital, yung pong ating mga GOCC hospitals at DOH hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000581

Ang personal service po ay 7% higher than 2026 NEP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000582

At ang capital outlay, ito po yung medyo bumaba kumpara po nung nakaraang 2026 NEP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000583

Ito po ay composed ng P14.5 billion for HPEP and P4.2 billion po doon sa Health System Resilience Project na ito po ay loan natin sa World Bank.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000584

At nakalaan sa 17 probinsya po na identified na nitong World Bank loan natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000585

Next slide po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000586

Yung ating, kung ating pong i-divide na yung buong 353 budget po ng DOH, ito nga po yung limang pillars.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000587

Yung para po doon sa unang pillar na Healthy School Workplace and Communities.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000588

Ang malaking portion po dito, or 55.4 per billion, ay yung share po ng PhilHealth Premium to cover the indirect contributor.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000589

30.7 million po ang aming nakalap na dami.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000590

Ito po ng ating registered indirect contributor.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000591

P2.5 billion po for health promotion.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000592

Short pa rin po ng mandated na 1%, but ito po ay tumaas na significantly compared ng mga nakaraang taon na halos dumoble.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000593

And then P1.3 billion po dito sa ating health emergency preparedness.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000594

Dahil alam po natin, bunga nitong global warming, marami po tayo ngayong mga na-experience.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000595

Kagaya nga po nitong haze, ito pong pagbaha, at saka po itong surge po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000596

Dengue at leptospirosis.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000597

Next slide.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000598

So kung titignan naman po natin yung performance noong 2025,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000599

ang ating pong fully immunized ay 2 out of 3 children.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000600

Ito po ay nasa 64.54%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000601

Hindi rin po ito umabot noong target natin na 95%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000602

So ito po yung pinagtutuunan ko ng pansin, kasi karamihan po dito ay yung commodities po ay hindi dumating ng oras.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000603

Para pagpambabakuna na inaayos na rin po natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000604

8 out of 10 children, age 2 and below, had adequate height for their age.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000605

So ito po naman yung sukatan natin ng stunting.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000606

So ito po ay nasa 21.1% na ibaba na po natin kumpara noong 22.5% noong 2023.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000607

And then 8 out of 10 households had access to basic water supply.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000608

Ito po ay 82.74% ng kabuang household.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000609

Medyo falling short pa rin po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000610

Yung 25 target na 94%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000611

At 7 out of 10 Filipinos had access to family planning needs.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000612

Ito po ay nasa 72.5%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000613

So ito po ay nahigitan yung ating target na 64.5%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000614

Ang ating pong nabigyan ng TB meds ay 367,000.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000615

At ito po ay 85% po ng ating accomplishment, which is our target.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000616

At accomplishment target na na-achieve naman po natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000617

At 100,000 po ang Pilipino.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000618

At higit 100,000 po, living with HIV, ang nakatanggap po ng treatment.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000619

At ito po ay 66% accomplishment versus our target of 70%.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000620

15,000 cancer patients po ang naka-access ng ating essential medicines and palliative care.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000621

At 262,000 individuals naman po ang nakatanggap po ng mental health medicines and intervention.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000622

Next slide please.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000623

Sa ating pong PILAR 2, which is the Functional Primary Care Services,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000624

system, 9.1 billion po ang for family health, immunization, nutrition, and responsible parenting.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000625

So tinahina po namin ito ngayon doon sa ating YACA program,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000626

kung saan po papalawigin din eventually na magkaroon din ang access doon sa ating commodities for family planning.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000627

Ang communicable disease, 6.9 billion.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000628

At nakasentro po ito sa TB at HIV.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000629

Again, nag-uusap na po kami ni PCO Bevho kung paano din po maisama itong mga commodities.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000630

Sa ating YACAP gamot at para rin din po makover yung ating testing ng HIV.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000631

Yung 2.7 billion po ay for non-communicable diseases, which includes hypertension, diabetes, mental health.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000632

Again, ito po ay isasama din ni Doktora Bev sa pagpapalawak ng gamot.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000633

At 1.5 billion for local health systems development.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000634

Upang suportahan po yung 18 regyon, lalong-lalo na po yung 110 UHM.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000635

Next slide, please.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000636

Dito naman po sa Pillar 3, which is the quality and efficient hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000637

Nakita po natin na nung nakaraang taon, record high pong 300 billion ang benefit payment na nailabas ng PhilHealth.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000638

Ito po ay 82% increase from the previous year.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000639

Na nagpapatunay nga po kung bakit bumaba yung out-of-pocket spending ng mga Pilipino nung nakaraang taong 2025.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000640

Out of the 300 billion,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000641

kasama na po yung 40 million na Pilipinos registered with the YACAP nung nakaraang taon po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000642

Yung pong nakatanggap ng ma-EFIP ay 4.3 million.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000643

Out of which, 4.3 million patients in 2025.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000644

And then these are served, 32,000 plus patients served through e-MA-EFIP na po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000645

So nagsishift na po tayo to e-MA-EFIP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000646

Pinupisaan lang po ito nung August.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000647

At sa mula po nung August, mag-iisang buwan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000648

At sa mula pa lang po, 32,000 na po ang dito natin na i-process sa e-MA-EFIP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000649

At kami po ay nagpapalawig at atin pong inumpisahan sa DOH hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000650

Ngayon po ay isasama na po natin yung mga local government unit hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000651

At nakita naman po na mas mabilis na po yung ating processing.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000652

54,000 cancer patients po ang nakareceive ng Cancer Assistance Fund.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000653

Nearly 2,000 health infrastructure projects were completed in the last 2 years, 3 years, 23 to 25.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000654

And almost 5,000 medical equipments were procured.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000655

Lahat po ito kasaming 500 medical transport vehicles are done through our HVEP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000656

Next slide please.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000657

So ang nandito rin po sa Pillar 3 ay yung operations po ng ating 71 regional hospitals and health facilities.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000658

Yung ating pong labindalwang DOH hospitals na karagdagan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000659

Ito pong 71 po ay sa region, 21 po ay sa Manila.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000660

At yung pong apat na specialty hospital.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000661

Na nandito po ang Lung Center, NKTI, Philippine Heart Center, and Philippine Children's Medical Center.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000662

Lahat po na nabigyan po ng ating NEP ng kaukulang coverage po ng kanilang MOOE at PS.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000663

So karamihan po dito sa MOOE ay ginagamit po para ma-maintain po yung ating Z-BEN package.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000664

Kasi yan po yung nagsusustena nung kanilang quantified free service o yung pong sumosobra.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000665

Ito po yung coverage ng PhilHealth at ng initial 55 billion na nabanggit ko kanina.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000666

At ito po ay para palawigin along 11 diseases po na nakalinya na dun sa aming roadmap.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000667

Again, yung MAIFI po nabigyan ng 24.2 billion.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000668

Ang Cancer Assistance Fund ay nabigyan ulit po ng 3.8 billion.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000669

Medyo mas mataas ng nakaraang taon.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000670

At yung HPEP nga po, bagamat nabawasan, meron pa rin pong 14.5 na ikinocover nga po yung ating 500.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000671

114 health facilities, 845 equipment projects, and 345 medical transport vehicles.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000672

So ito po yung aming iapila na i-considera po ng ating appropriations or finance committee po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000673

na kung pwede pong maibalik dahil po ito'y napaka-importante para nga po palakasin natin yung ating services sa local government unit

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000674

para hindi po dumadagsa at nabubulunan itong ating mga DOH hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000675

Next slide po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000676

So yung pillar 4.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000677

4 po ay sa information technology.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000678

Gaya ng nasabi ko, talagang titignan po natin na magkaroon na po ng central digital health system

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000679

kung saan nga po merong health information exchange.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000680

480 billion po for epidemiology and surveillance, and 222 million po for health statistics

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000681

na tinitrack din po natin para matiyak na yung pong ating nagawa ay nagbubunga.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000682

Gaya ng nasabi ko sa una, something that is not captured data does not exist.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000683

And next slide po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000684

Sa pillar 5, sa ating strong institutions, workforce, and sector.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000685

So tayo po ay itutuloy yung National Health Workforce Support System.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000686

Ito po yung karagdagang health professionals na dinideploy natin sa iba-ibang mga province at local government unit.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000687

Meron po tayong naka-plano pong 24,381 health professionals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000688

At yung ating supply chain management na akin din po tinitingnan kung paano po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000689

i-revive yung ating mga digital systems na di umano yung ano na po, outdated na daw.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000690

Pero titingnan ko po kung paano po ito i-update.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000691

Kasama na rin po dito yung pagbiminta na po ng warehouse at saka yung cold chain po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000692

para nga po dito sa ating mga bakuna at para matiyak po na hindi po nasasayang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000693

dahil mamaintain po natin yung quality nung pag-re-store nitong ating gamot at bakuna.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000694

Next slide.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000695

So yun po ang budget po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000696

At ang budget po ng ating departamento and its attached agency at bilang isang health sector

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000697

ang ating pinagtutunan ngayon po ay internally una sa pagtutulungan, una sa pag-usad, una sa pagkilala

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000698

dahil ang aking push ay hindi siya siloed at dapat nag-uusap-usap lahat ng sector within the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000699

all the agencies within the health sector.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000700

Para po ito maramdaman ng ating taong bayan isang mabilis, patas at mapagkakatiwala ang health sector.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000701

Maraming maraming salamat po.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000702

Thank you, Secretary Mercado. At this juncture, the Chair would like to acknowledge the presence of our Senate President Win Gatchalian. Thank you, sir, for joining us. The Chair would like to already ask our PhilHealth: Do you have any presentation? Ah kasama na? Oo nga pala, no? Nandun naman po yung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000702-split-2

United na.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000702-split-3

Yes po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000702-split-4

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.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000703

Unified na ang program.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000704

Okay, any agencies pa?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000705

So we can probably start already, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000706

Siguro we'll just ask the other agencies and attached corporations later.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000707

So in order of arrival, Senator Lacson, but our Senate President, would you like to go ahead?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000708

I'll waive my seniority in rank.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000709

Senator Lacson, may now ask the questions.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000710

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and good morning to the DOH family.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000711

And congratulations kay Secretary Mercado.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000712

I've been receiving positive feedback sa pagka-appoint ninyo sa mga nakakilala sa inyo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000713

As I mentioned earlier, Mr. Chairman, mag-focus po yung aking mga tanong sa Universal Healthcare Act na ipinasan ninyo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000714

You have championed this law.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000715

So since 2017, 18th Congress, until we enacted it into law in 2019, at saka nag-rollout tayo 2020.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000716

Ang isang napansin ko lang, since na-rollout, lagi pong papalit-palit yung ating spending plans.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000717

Kaya ang unang tanong ko, where are we at in the implementation of the Universal Healthcare Act?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000718

Kasi po, pupunta namin.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000719

Medium, babalik tayo ng low.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000720

Hanggang ngayon, wala pa po tayo doon sa high.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000721

Yung six years, diba, ang timeline yan, ang pag-aalam ko po, after six years, which ito na yan, 2020, 2026,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000722

dapat nasa high-end na tayo, ang coverage, lahat na.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000723

So nasaan po tayo ngayon?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000724

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000725

Medyo noong po no-launch, nagkaroon po ng, hindi inaasahang COVID.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000726

Kaya po, medyo na-delay yung ating implementation.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000727

Medyo na-pushback ng two to even three years.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000728

Yung pong universal coverage, kung yun po yung pagtutuunan, na-achieve po yun.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000729

Kasi immediate eligibility na po lahat ng Pilipino.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000730

So hindi na po yung kung meron ka lang hulog, siya haka mako-cover.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000731

Ang kaso po, yung supply side, yung pong nagbibigay ng mga benepisyo, yung pa po yung kailangan nating pagtuunan.

Source

asr-000732

Kasi hindi pa rin po equal yung presence ng mga...

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000733

accredited health facilities ng PhilHealth na magbigay.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000734

Lalo na po yung mga matataas na uri po ng sakit na meron na naman pong coverage.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000735

Pero wala pong mga capabilities.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000736

Open heart surgery, renal transplant, at mga matataas pa pong mga procedures

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000737

ng covered ng Z-package ng PhilHealth.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000738

Doon po naman sa mga local government units, medyo doon din po nahuulay.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000739

Kasi supposedly po, dahil with the devolved nature of our UHC law,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000740

ay natuturoan na po sila how to run their local health systems.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000741

May maturity grading po tayo.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000742

Almost 110 na naman pong probinsya.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000743

Ang talagang 110 provinces na nga po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000744

Ang medyo nag-re-reach na po ng maturity.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000745

So ngayon po, nagsishift na kami na ang payment po ay pumunta na doon sa isang special healthcare fund

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000746

para mapagplanuhan po na mas mabuti ng ating local chief executive.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000747

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.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000748

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.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000749

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.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000750

So in short po, hindi pa po natin na-achieve.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000751

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.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000752

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.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000753

Para talagang ma-achieve po yung universal healthcare.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000754

Thank you, Secretary.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000755

If I may, Mr. Chairman, i-plus ko lang sa screen yung ito yung papalit-palit na yung three spending plans noong 2022.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000756

Ayan po, maliwanag na hindi po negligible yung mga figures. Medyo malalaki ito, mga substantial.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000757

So ano yung practical purpose ng financing strategies kung palit tayo ng palit ng target?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000758

Or nami-miss natin yung target. So probably we may need some more serious study.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000759

Kasi kung lagi natin nami-miss yung target, para saan pa itong ating ginagawang financing strategies? Thank you.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000760

Chair, sir, as of now, we are tracking our total health expenditure and siguro yung good na nangyari po is,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000761

if you look at from 2022 to until now, 2025, yung share po ng PhilHealth, tumaas na po to 19% of total health expenditure.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000762

And the whole government share is up to 46.5%.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000763

So we have actually managed to reduce out-of-pocket payment share to at 41% by end of 2025.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000764

So to a certain extent, parang may malaki na yung progress.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000765

Kumpara sa 10 years ago, that that's around 55%.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000766

But Sen, we agree with you po that we have to recalibrate this kasi every three years nagbabago.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000767

But we are now following the PDP plan, which has a target of reducing our OOP to 37% by 2028.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000768

So 2025 at 41%.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000769

2022.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000770

2028 at 37%.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000771

And kung ipa-follow po natin yung initial projections dito po sa PDP,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000772

that amount should be at around 639 billion.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000773

So medyo aligned naman po sa number na ito, mas mataas lang po ng konti.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000774

So sir, yun po yung target namin po ni SEC na ma-achieve po.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000775

Thank you.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000776

Thank you.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000777

Pakibalik lang yung table doon sa CHE.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000778

Current health expenditure kanina.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000779

Yung, of course, maganda accomplishment, kasi malaki yung nabawas doon sa out-of-pocket yung household out-of-pocket payment.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000780

Nasa 41.2%.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000781

Dati po ba, ilang percent ito?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000782

Sir, 10 years ago, this was at 55%.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000783

55.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000784

Pero ako gusto ko lang ma-educate.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000785

Kasi pag sinabi natin government schemes and compulsory contributory health care,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000786

financing schemes at 46%,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000787

ano po ba ito?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000788

What would constitute itong schemes na ito?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000789

Chair, it's national government spend, local government spend, and PhilHealth po.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000790

Kasama na rito yung mga earmark na naka-incorporate sa GAA.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000791

Kasi doon sa latest Supreme Court ruling,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000792

while naka-earmark ito sa Department of Health,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000793

hindi naman ito actually, pero nasa GAA yan, nakapasok.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000794

So kasama rin ito dito sa 805 billion.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000795

Lahat-lahat yan.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000796

Including the National Expenditure Program na naging GAA.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000797

So sa tingin ko po, hindi masyadong, sa akin lang,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000798

yung misleading may be a wrong word,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000799

but for the lack of a better word, I will just use it na misleading.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000800

Parang, okay.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000801

46.5%, pero ito yung contributory health care financing schemes ng gobyerno.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000802

Pero masyadong bloated, ikanga, kasi kasama na dyan yung PS.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000803

Lahat-lahat eh, di ba?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000804

Kasi pag sinabi nating General Appropriations Act na ito yung items under the DOH budget,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000805

pagka nilimit lang natin sa health care program,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000806

lilit yung 46.5.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000807

Hindi po ba?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000808

So ang target natin actually is to reduce further the household out-of-pocket.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000809

Ito yung masakit eh.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000810

Ito yung target ng UHC.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000811

Yung out-of-pocket talaga, halos, huwag naman masiro.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000812

Palagay ko, hindi natin kaya in our lifetime.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000813

Pero medyo mataas pa yung 41.2%.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000814

Yung voluntary health care payment schemes, partly government din ito eh.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000815

Like in the Senate, meron kaming Kaiser, government funds din eh.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000816

Yung pambayad ng premium.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000817

Ang siguro,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000818

papupuwera lang dito yung mga corporations, private corporations,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000819

na meron silang sariling health benefits sa kanilang mga employees, sa kanilang mga staff.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000820

So, yun.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000821

I'd like to think na hindi, in practical terms,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000822

hindi ito talagang ganung ka-accurate, yung 46.5.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000823

Now,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000824

anyway, yung mga earmarks, ano,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000825

marami tayong mga,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000826

mga specials na naipasa.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000827

Gusto ko lang pong makakita ng medyo accurate, no?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000828

Maski mga ballpark lang, hindi naman talaga detalyado.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000829

Accounting ng mga funding source para sa UHC.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000830

Like, for example, ano,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000831

yung total incremental sin tax collection,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000832

RA 10351, 2012 pa ito.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000833

Tapos inamento ng tobacco tax law 2019, and so forth.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000834

50% nung national government,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000835

government share from the income ng PAGCOR,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000836

dyan din, naka-earmark din sa UHC.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000837

So, meron po ba tayo?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000838

Para lang magkaroon kami ng idea, kasi we're talking of the budget,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000839

and these are, you know,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000840

ang source nito talaga hindi naman revenues ng government,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000841

kundi earmarks ito,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000842

plus galing sa GOCC like PAGCOR, PCSO,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000843

and so forth and so on.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000844

So, meron po ba tayo yung ano nito?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000845

Konting detalya lang.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000846

Share for PAGCOR and PCSO,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000847

based on our records,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000848

the total that we should be able to claim from 2019

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000849

up to Q2 of 2026 should be

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000850

P127.55 billion po.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000851

2019 to?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000852

2026.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000853

2026.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000854

Opo.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000855

And then there was appropriation in,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000856

fiscal year 2023 GAA of 21 billion,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000857

and fiscal year 2024 GAA of 21 billion.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-000858

So, for both of this, we have SARO already, but no.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000859

Yeah, ang problema is naka-earmark,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000860

nare-release ba talaga yung total amount na naka-earmark?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000861

Yun ang problema natin.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000862

Kasi on paper, magandang pakinggan yung,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000863

eto yung 50% component

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000864

ng national government share, ano, from PAGCOR.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000865

Pero yung, in real terms, yung nominal figure

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000866

ng 50% ng share ng government,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000867

eh, dapat mapunta sa PAGCOR.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000868

50% ba talaga napunta sa PAGCOR?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000869

I mean, sorry, sa DOH or sa universal healthcare.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000870

Ano yung gap?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000871

From all these special laws na naipasa,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000872

na naka-earmark dapat sa DOH.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000873

Of course, you understand na ito,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000874

sa buong GAA ito pinapasok, hindi ba?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000875

And you're dependent,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000876

you're dependent on the DBM.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000877

Kung magkano yung maibibigay lang para sa UHC?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000878

Actually, Senator Lacson, with your indulgence,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000879

we asked this also during the DBCC.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000880

Yung po mga earmarked funds,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000881

please give us also your own record

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000882

so that we can reconcile.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000883

Kasi may mga, alam ko,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000884

mataas yung receivable, supposedly,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000885

ng PhilHealth for the implementation of UHC.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000886

For some reason,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000887

parin nila sinasagot bakit hindi nire-remit yung buo

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000888

dahil these are earmarked funds, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000889

And they cannot use this for any purpose.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000890

Siguro,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000891

Doc Bev,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000892

pakian na lang kung ilan po yung sa records po ng PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000893

so that we can reconcile

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000894

and probably pag bumalik yun sa DOF or DBM,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000895

we can reconcile.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000896

This is where we can help you, no?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000897

Kasi ito yung oversight namin eh.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000898

Kung hindi nagko-comply yung DBM,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000899

kasi covered ng batas,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000900

earmarked para sa DOH, para sa UHC,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000901

tapos hindi naman binibigay sa inyo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000902

This is where our oversight function comes in or kicks in.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000903

So, yun lang muna, Mr. Chairman,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000904

para we can give...

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000905

Malamig na ba ulo mo, Senator Raffy?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000906

Ipapasa ko na sa inyo yung...

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000907

Medyo malamig na.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-000908

Sige, kayo na po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000909

Ano, no,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000910

Siguro, thank you, Senator Lacson,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000911

for bringing this up.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000912

Siguro, we'll wait for that.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000913

Para at least we will have the...

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000914

Because, ano eh, this would have been used, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000915

For the benefit, para sa mga beneficiaries

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000916

and the improvement of the packages, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000917

And again, I'd like to reiterate that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000918

these are earmarked funds

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000919

and these are really intended

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000920

for the use of PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000921

and implementation of UHC.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000922

So, siguro, we'll just wait for that.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000923

Senator Tulfo, you may now have the floor.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000924

Thank you.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000925

Thank you.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000926

Thank you, Sen. Ping.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000927

And thank you, Sen. JV.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000928

Tulad ng sinabi kanina, time and time again,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000929

every year, sa budget season tulad nito,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000930

lagi kong tinatanong yung mga gamot na nag-expire.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000931

At ang palaging sinasagot po sa atin,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000932

oversight to yun,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000933

and then sinusolido yung gamot

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000934

at pinapalitan ng bago.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000935

Yun po ay pawang kasinungalingan

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000936

dahil meron po akong proof na binabaon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000937

In fact, diyan pinabaon palagi sa TALA.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000938

Pakita nyo nga, ano, ComSec.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000939

It's a hospital.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000940

Anong hospital?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000941

Kanyan, o, pinabaon niyang mga gamot

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000942

by the hundreds of millions.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000943

Yan, o.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000944

At meron pa nga kayong disposal committee na binoo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000945

So, bakit tayo nagsisinungaling sa taong bayan?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000946

Napakarami mga kababayan nating mahihirap

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000947

na nakakamatay,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000948

hindi nakating sa kanilang mga gamot na dapat,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000949

mga maintenance,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000950

biotics, et cetera.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000951

E tapos,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000952

ito,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000953

binabaon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000954

Why?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000955

Kasi nga,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

bumibili kayo

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000958

ng pinapaboran

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000959

na supplier

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000960

na mag-expire na.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000961

Kaya, murang-mura.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000962

And of course,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000963

magkakaroon ng kickback.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000964

Pakisagot po muna,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000965

DOH,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000966

bakit po kayo,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000967

bakit po palagi tayong time and time again,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000968

every single year,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000969

walang mintis talaga.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000970

By the hundreds of millions,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000971

millions,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000972

and even billions.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000973

Bakit po?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000974

Bakit?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000975

Wala ho ba tayo talagang tamang sistema na

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000976

for so many years?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000977

Hindi pa tayo nakaka-buo,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000978

nakaka-perfect na isang system na

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000979

hindi tayo pag-e-expire na mga gamot

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000980

at yan po ay properly distributed

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000981

sa mga nangangailangan ng mga pasyente,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000982

especially ang mahihirap.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000983

Mr. Chair,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000984

ang una ko nga pong tinignan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000985

ay yung procurement

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000986

at ngayon nga po ay yung supply chain.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000987

Kung ano nga po ang pwedeng gawin?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000988

Na, parang...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-000989

Isagot lang po muna.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000990

Bakit po nag-e-expire?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000991

At bakit po kayo nagsinungaling?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000992

Hindi po kayo hanat yun,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000993

but yung mga kasamahan mo noon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000994

Bakit po nagsinungaling?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000995

niloko ang taong bayan,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000996

sinabing sinusoli.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000997

Eh, hindi naman pala sinusoli.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000998

Binabaon ang binabaon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-000999

Why?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001000

Dapat po may managot,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001001

dapat po may makulong dyan.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001002

Yeah.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001003

Yun ba historical?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001004

Historical?

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001007

Siguro yung,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001008

damay mabanggit niya noon,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

history,

bakit po naging gaging ganun yung

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001012

Okay po.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001013

Magandang umaga po,

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001014

Mr. Chair,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001015

and sa lahat po ng ating

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001016

sinadoraan dito,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001017

and to everyone.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001018

Ang masasagot ko po,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001019

base po sa

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001020

experience na observed ko po,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001021

ito kasing

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001022

issue ng expired sa kayong

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001023

expiry,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001024

eh, parang,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001025

it's a,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001026

it's a,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001027

it's a,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001028

it's a systems

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001029

one po siya,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001030

problem.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001031

Mag-umpisa ko kasi yan,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001032

doon sa

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001033

planning and forecasting

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001034

from our

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001035

mga program managers,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001036

and then,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001037

doon sa procurement,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001038

tapos yung sa

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001039

supply chain and delivery.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001040

So,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001041

kung ano ho yung ating

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001042

bibilhin

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001043

ng mga commodities,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001044

eh,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001045

ang mga program managers po,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001046

nagpa-plano yun,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001047

meron pong forecasting po yan,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001048

may formula po.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001049

Pero yung ating mga kasing formula, based po yun kung everything goes on smoothly.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001050

Okay, so meron po yan.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001051

And then, yung ating pong budget preparation po, di ho ba, is one year before.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001052

But then, kung halimbawa, nagkaroon ng delay sa procurement,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001053

o kaya meron mga nag-bibid failure, hindi na bili,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001054

so sisira na po yung ating mga naplano po na dapat bilhin.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001055

Okay, so nagkakapatong-patong minsan sa isang taon na meron yung na out of stock

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001056

kasi hindi nga nabili, yung na-forecast na kailangan,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001057

or kung doon sa susunod na taon nabili, nagpapatong-patong po.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001058

Tapos kung hindi rin po maayos yung ating inventory system

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001059

na hindi po nakikita yung kung ano yung actual na doon sa baba.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001060

Parang, ayoko po mapakinggan kasi parang pambubunan.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001061

Hindi po, I'll tell it to the Marines, ika nga, baka sabihin nyo sa pagong.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001062

Napakatagal na po every year, hindi nyo pa rin po ma-perfect yung system.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001063

At saka yung sinasabi nyo, hindi na po forecast, hindi na po plano, hindi po wrong.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001064

Tinatambak nyo lang po sa warehouse.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001065

Kasi nga po, bumibili kayo ng mga gamot na about to expire.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001066

Sandali lang po, about to expire dahil meron kayong pinapaboran na supplier

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001067

at yung mga supplier na yun, nagbibigay po ng kickback.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001068

Tinatambak po dyan sa warehouse.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001069

Every year, kasi yung mga sinasabi nyo po ma'am,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001070

okay, sige, tanggapin ko yan for the first year, for the second year, pwede pa,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001071

pero third, fourth, fifth year, sixth year, ganoon pa rin, come on.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001072

Nagluloko na tayo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001073

Tapos, sinasabi nyo pa na yung gamot na nag-expire, binabalik niyo supplier.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001074

At yung supplier nagbibigay ng bagong gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001075

Nasaan ang resibo?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001076

Show us.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001077

Yun pong, hindi po ako version of ang sabi nyo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001078

Pakisagot lang po.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001079

Meron pa kayo may pakitang resibo na yung mga expired na gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001080

Sinasabi nyo doon sa tuwing hearing na tinatanong ko sa inyo na ibinabalik yung supplier.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001081

At that yung supplier, pinapalit ka ng bago.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001082

And is that stipulated po yung sa contract?

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001083

Sir, yung pong binabalik, kasi meron pong kwano eh.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001084

Pag bumibili kami yung gamot, dapat upon delivery, 18 months yung shelf life niya.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001085

Okay.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001086

Ngayon, minsan po, kasi for several reasons, medyo bumababa doon sa 18 months.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001087

Sabihin na nyo natin, 15 months upon delivery.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001088

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.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001089

Ma'am, sorry ma'am.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001090

I've heard that so many times.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001091

Umulit-ulit na lang tayo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001092

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.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001093

Huwag kayong mag-alalasin.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001094

Dahil yung mga gamot na nag-expired, hindi naman tayo lugi dyan dahil sinusolid po namin yan at pinapalitan naman po yan.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001095

Nasaan po yung mga dokumento? Huwag naman kayong magpaliwanag. Nagpapaikot-ikot lang tayo rito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001096

Opo, pasensya naman po.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001097

Nasaan ang resibo na yun ay sinuli, yung mga nag-expired na sinasabi nyo by the hundreds of millions na pinapalitan?

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001098

Okay. Maybe we can request yung...

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001099

I need the receipts.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001100

I need the receipts. Give this committee a resibo.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001101

Opo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001102

At saka tingnan natin yung contract right now. Give us the contract.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001103

I-stipulate ba doon na ibabalik yung mga na-expired? Does it say there?

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001104

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.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001105

Pero yung expired, hindi po kami aware namin.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001106

Sinabi po yun na yung nag-expired. Huwag daw mag-alala.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001107

And then ma'am, Secretary?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001108

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.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001109

But nababasura lang, nababaon lang sa lupa. Billions pa this year. Ilan po ang nag-expired, Secretary Mercado, itong 2026?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001110

Magkano pong halaga ng nag-expired na binauna naman sa lupa?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001111

Magkakalagay po dito sa aking data spot. For 2025, expired stocks were about 217 million.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001112

And the near expiry is 477 million.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001113

Yan na naman yung pera ng taong bahay na nasayang na ibinaon sa lupa. Hindi po ba?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001114

At huwag nyo na pong sabihin sa amin ngayon, dahil mag-iinit lang ulo namin na yun po ibinabalik.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001115

Hindi po, yan po ibinabasura.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001116

Ayun ang may ebidensya. Kung gusto nyo, pumunta tayo sa Tala. Maghukay tayo doon. Andoon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001117

Baka sa compound na yun, punong-puno ng mga nababaon na gamot. Dapat meron pong managot dito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001118

Dapat hindi na po ito maulit.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001119

So can you guarantee us na meron kayong pag-iisipang sistema na maayos?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001120

Kasi antagal na eh, di ba? Na hindi na tayo magkaka-expire na gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001121

Sa ibang bansa, it doesn't happen.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001122

Hindi nangyari ito. Sinignan ko, Singapore, wala.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001123

Nag-expire Singapore, pero yung mga outdated ng mga gamot, halimbawa COVID, naubos na, tapos na, o din-dispose of nila.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001124

Pero hindi by the hundreds of millions. One million Singapore dollars, ganun lang.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001125

Sa atin, hundreds of millions and billions pa.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001126

So talagang very clear, may corruption po dito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001127

Siguro, maganda yung blue ribbon to.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001128

Because it's been happening every year.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001129

Siguro, Senping, i-blue ribbon po siguro natin to.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-001130

Mr. Chairman, with the indulgence of, with the permission of Sen. Tulfo, can we go back further in time, ano?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-001131

2024, 2023, 2022, kung meron kayong datas, magkano pa yung yearly na nag-expire na tinatapo natin?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-001132

Para na ma-appreciate namin better.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001134

Eto, Senping, Senping, I have this.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-001135

For the record, ma'am.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001136

Sige, mas maganda, magaling po sa inyo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001137

Sige, kunin nyo lang, pagpapawisang kayo.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001138

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.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001139

Siguro, if we can deduce away a system, na sinasabing yung Sen. Turtulpo.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001140

Meron po kasi, alam sa amin, may mga local LGUs that now have, meron silang entity.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001141

Na prescription-based. Pero mahirap kasi sa DOH yun.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001142

Kasi meron tayong, ano, yung mga health centers.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001143

Pero sa kanila, hindi sila bumibili na ng maramihan, ng volume.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001144

Because kung ano lang yung na-prescribe, that's the only medicines they pay.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001145

So probably that's one option dun po sa mga local and provincial.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001146

But I don't know with DOH kung paano po pwedeng gawing sistema.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001147

Tata mo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001148

So, Sen. JB, Mr. Chair, hindi ko makalimutan yun.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001149

I went to an island somewhere in Bohol a few years ago.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001150

And nilapitan ako ng barangay chairwoman nila.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001151

At sinasabi niya, wala rin nakakarating na gamot sa kanila.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001152

Napakinggan yung hearing.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001153

Sir, nagulat kami nung mapakinggan namin na daan-daan milyon ang nage-expire na gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001154

Samantalang sa amin, wala po nakakarating.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001155

Paano kayo nag-procure ng gamot?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001156

Contribute po kami. Kami-kami.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001157

Nag-aambag-ambag.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001158

Kasi walang dumarating sa health center namin.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001159

Kung meron man, kunti-kunti.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001160

And about to expire.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001161

Di po ba nakakaya yun?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001162

Not only that yung Prambola, kundi sa iba-iba pang mga health centers,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001163

barangay health centers nationwide, na kulang sa gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001164

Kulang sa, especially sa mga maintenance na gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001165

Maski na mga simple lang na mga paracetamol.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001166

Wala.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001167

Di ba?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001168

And yet,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001169

every single year,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001170

by the hundreds of millions,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001171

meron pa nga billions eh.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001172

Billion.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001173

11, oh see?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001174

11 billion pesos

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001175

ibinaon sa lupa.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001176

2023,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001177

pang magkita ng expired na gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

Dapat dyan may makulong.

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001179

Dapat dyan may mapugutan ng ulo eh.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001180

Napaka-skandaloso yung amount na yan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001181

Yes po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001182

Mr. Chair, if I may po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001183

Ang mga,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001184

before I go to the expired meds nga po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001185

may datos na kami.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001186

Pero ang una po namin,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001187

yung pinag-aaralan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001188

ay parang yung nabanggit ni Sen. JV.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001189

Talagang palakasin yung gamot

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001190

para doon napadaanin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001191

At yung nakalaang budget

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001192

para dito sa commodities,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001193

maibigay na lang sa PhilHealth

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001194

para sila yung nagpa-purchase.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001195

Kasi at least,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001196

broad dyan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001197

At saka ang mga pharmacist na engaged namin ay nandun.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001198

At negotiated naman po yung price.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001199

So, isa po yun.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001200

Pangalwa po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001201

yung aming procurement nga yan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001202

na decentralized na po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001203

40% na lang po yung pinoprocure sa iyo.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001204

Or centrally,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001205

yung 60%,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001206

lalo na po yung mga common essential meds

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001207

na meron naman locally available,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001208

ay doon na po sa CHD ginagamit

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001209

or pinoprocure.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001210

Pangatlo po nga yung pagtingin ko ulit po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001211

doon sa IT system.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001212

But nabanggit nga po ni Sen. Tulfo,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001213

at siguro po maki-create po talaga ako

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001214

ng investigating committee 2G3.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001215

So, isa meron na eh.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001216

Inter-office task force,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001217

I believe.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001218

Eh, kayo po ay isa sa mga member nito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001219

Yusek Balboa.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001220

Masama si Yusek Balboa?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001221

Okay.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001222

So, ano pong resulta

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001223

nung inyong ginawang investigation?

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001224

Ay hindi po kami yung nag-imbestiga.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001225

Kami po yung weekly po na nag-meet

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001226

para po i-discuss yung mga issues

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001227

concerning doon sa policy

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001228

at saka doon sa procurement

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-001229

at saka supply chain po.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001230

But anyway, ito na lang po ano,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001231

isek merkado.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001232

Gawa na kayo ng sistema.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001233

Sana ma-perfect nyo na.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001234

Nawala na mag-expire na gamot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001235

Kung meron man mag-expire,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001236

hindi maiwasan.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001237

Huwag naman daan milyon.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001238

Isang milyon, dalawang milyon,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001239

acceptable yun.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001240

Tolerable.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001241

Pero kung hundreds of millions

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001242

at marami mga health centers

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001243

hindi nakakakuha ng gamot,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001244

nakakaloko naman yun.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001245

And then dapat may managot.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001246

May managot talaga.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001247

Kaya sabi ko,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001248

mag-privileged speech ako

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001249

para ito ay may recommend sa Blue Ribbon

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001250

at ma-investigahan ito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001251

Ito, malaking anomalya.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001252

Now, pangalawa pa po,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001253

Mr. Mercado,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001254

itong mental health medicines

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001255

na napoprocure ninyo,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001256

ito yung pinakamalaking share

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001257

ng 2026

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001258

na hindi rin nagagamit,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001259

nadidispose of ninyo,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001260

na dapat ito ay napupunta

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001261

sa Mandaluyong Mental Health Center.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001262

Kasi hindi nyo alam

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001263

kung paano i-administer ito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001264

So wala kayong,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001265

kakayahan sa DOH

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001266

na mag-administer nito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001267

So ito yung nage-expire lang.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001268

At meron ako muna babalita

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001269

na tinatanggal yung expiry date

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001270

e binibenta sa labas.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001271

Nasaan si Machado?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001272

Si Machado,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001273

isa pa sa mga

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001274

sangkot sa kalukuan eh.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001275

Ha?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001276

David Machado.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001277

Machadong,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001278

masyado na talaga itong taon ito.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001279

Masyado.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001280

Oo.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001281

Yung sa,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001282

saka pa pala,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001283

lulundag-lundag ako.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001284

Alam nyo,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001285

nag-donate tayo

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001286

sa World Health Organization

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001287

ng 10 million dollars

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001288

worth of medicine.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001289

Ang yabang naman natin.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001290

Samantalang yung Singapore

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001291

nag-donate 100,000 US,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001292

100,000 Singaporean dollars lang.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001293

Tayo 10 million.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001294

Hanggang ngayon,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001295

binabayaran natin yun

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001296

in tranches.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001297

Why?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001298

Hindi naman tayo mayamang bansa.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001299

Ang yabang natin.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001300

Bakit?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001301

Kasi mayabang yung si,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001302

si,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001303

si,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001304

si Herbosa.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001305

Gusto niya ata maging director

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001306

ng DOH,

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001307

ng World Health Organization.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001315

Baka pwede nating i-cancel yun?

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001316

Pwede pa ba yun?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001317

Pinag-aaralan po

direction ay gamitin po muna

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001323

para doon sa ating local needs.

Source

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001324

So i-cancel nyo na yun.

Huwag na yung pag-aaralan.

Hindi naman siguro

Senator Raffy T. Tulfo

asr-001329

Pwede ba tayong kasuan

Voluntary naman yung donation?

sundan ko lang po yung

asr-001738

issue on

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001739

waste aid

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001740

ng

medicines

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001742

kasi

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001743

I want to correlate this also sa immunization.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001752

First of all, pala kay Secretary, good morning, Secretary, and congratulations also.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001758

to Beverly, congratulations.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001760

And I would like to

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001762

put on record na si Secretary

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001764

Mercado nung nasa PhilHealth,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001766

he was very generous with his time

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001768

in briefing us. I think we met two or

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001770

three times to

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001771

brief us on

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001773

the activities and the goals of PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001782

And I really appreciate that because

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001788

ang

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001790

public health and also

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001800

universal health care is a very complicated

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001806

and costly

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001808

endeavor so we really appreciate

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001812

you making effort for us

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001816

to understand it

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001819

so I'll go to my first topic

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001825

in immunization

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001827

and I'll flash on the screen

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001833

So yung ating budget, Secretary, tumataas siya over the years.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001834

Total budget is about 7.9 billion pesos.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001835

For the first 1,000 days, it's about 4.9 billion pesos.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001836

This report is from EDCOM.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001837

We have an education commission dito na tinututukan yung health ng bata including the first 1,000 days kasi alam natin formative.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001838

Pero despite the increase in budget, nakikita namin na yung coverage is only 65%.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001839

Of course, in a perfect world, lahat dapat covered, lalo na yung first 1,000 days.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001840

Dapat non-negotiable yung first 1,000 days.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001841

I'm sure you know na pag lumampas ng 4 or 5 years old, irreversible na yan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001842

And then the next slide, Table 3, Alena.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001843

Merong seven different types of vaccines and medicines na binibigay.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001844

At nakita namin na mataasing wastage rate.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001845

About 590 million.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001846

Ang wastage rate.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001847

So different.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001848

Iba-iba yung mga wastage rates ng iba't-ibang vaccines.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001849

Pero ang total yan, this is only for 2025, is about 500 million.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001850

590 million to be exact.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001851

So the point I'm trying to make is only 60% of our first 1,000 days na bibigyan ng immunization.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001852

And yet,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001853

maraming wastage ang nangyayari.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001854

About half a billion pesos ang nasasayang.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001855

So kung nabigay natin yung half a billion pesos doon sa mga batang yun,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001856

obviously, baka ma-70%, 80% ng mga bata ang ma-immunize natin at mabibigyan ng vaccines.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001857

So may I get a comment?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001858

I know this is beyond your time.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001859

Natanong na ni Senator Rafi kanina.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001860

But I just want to flag,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001861

the new secretary, the new team,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001862

na merong ganitong problema tayo.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001863

And I'm very concerned with the first 1,000 days nga.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001864

Because kahit anong investment natin sa education,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001865

kung papasok sila na stunted, wasted, underweight,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001866

ano na eh, tapos na yung boxing eh.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001867

Hindi na sila makaka-recover.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001868

So I want to ask the secretary,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001869

ano ba yung plano natin to avoid such a wastage?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001870

Na pag-usapan niyo kanina.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001871

But in this particular case, ano ba yung plano ng bagong team to avoid this type of wastage?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001872

Considering na marami tayong bata na dapat bigyan ng vaccines.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001873

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001874

Hindi lang po pag na newborn, kundi ang ginagawa po natin ngayon,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001875

even during the pregnancy stage, kinacapture na po natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001876

So yun nga po yung pinalawig o expanded maternal care package ng PhilHealth.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001877

Na kung saan po covered yung 8 prenatal.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001878

Kasama po dyan yung monitoring ng growth ng bata, even intrauterine.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001879

Yung mismong panganak, whether it's CS or it's normal delivery.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001880

At yung 4 pong postnatal or postpartum.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001881

So ang ano po namin, itatahi namin yung first 1,000 day.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001882

At parang i-facilitate namin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001883

Kasi po once nagpanganak po yung ating bata,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001884

meron na pong PhilHealth ID number yan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001885

Kasi po naggagawa tayo ng newborn screening eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001886

So itatahi na rin po natin na ma-register sa YACAP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001887

At para po doon sa YACAP Clinic of Choice po nila,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001888

may care coordinator na babantayan po kung nabakunahan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001889

kung yung growth chart ay nagagawa.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001890

At kami po ay gumagawa po ng care coordinator top-up

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001891

para ma-incentivize po yung mga YACAP Clinic

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001892

na gawin po yung monitoring at tiyakin yung mga bata ay nababakunahan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001893

At kami naman po sa DOH,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001894

ay mag-i-integrate sa PhilHealth para nga po yung kanilang YACAP Clinics

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001895

ay mababaan namin ng mga bakuna.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001896

Dapat po tayo mismo yung humahalugad eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001897

Kasi yung mga pupunta lang ng RHU,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001898

minsan po may mga balakid o may mga issues pa ng vaccine hesitancy ngayon

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001899

na hopefully ma-address natin by our promotive and health literacy and education

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001900

doon pa lang po sa YACAP Primary Care Clinics.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001901

So itatahi po natin yung programa.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001902

Para hindi po siya siloed.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001903

At hopefully nga po yung first 1,000 day,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001904

mababa lang, mataas po natin yung vaccination rate,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001905

mababa po natin yung stunting rate.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001906

Para pag pumasok na po doon sa preschool,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001907

medyo bawas po yung problema maghahabol tayo

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001908

na tsaka lang tayo magno-nutrition supplement.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001909

Lalo na po pag pumasok ng DepEd,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001910

tatrack po natin yan hanggang maging nasa health workforce na po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001911

Yun naman po yung empanelment ng ating mga DOLE.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001912

So yun po yung plano namin, Sen.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001913

Tahiin po natin lahat through the initial touch point which will be YACAP.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001914

So, PhilHealth na ang magtatrack niyan in other words?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001915

From birth all the way hanggang kailangan niya mabigyan ng vaccines and immunization.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001916

Ganun ba yung inyong strategy?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001917

Meron pa naman po din pupunta mismo ng RHO.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001918

Kung ang RHO po ay isang YACAP accredited clinic, well and good.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001919

Kasi po maka-capture natin yung data doon sa EMR.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001920

Kaya sinestrengthen nga natin yung EMR platform, yung National Health Data Repository.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001921

Pero may sarili pa rin programa po ang DOH.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001922

Pero kung ang may incentive po doon sa YACAP clinic na talagang proactively maipadala sa amin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001923

o tawagan ang DOH na magdala ng aming mga vaccines sa kanilang...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001924

sa kanilang mga clinics, mas marami po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001925

tayong touch points na pwedeng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001926

puntahan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001927

The way I understand it, at least from

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001928

a delivery side,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001929

gagamit

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001930

kayo ng database

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001931

which is existing with

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001932

PhilHealth, if I'm not mistaken.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001933

Pagpanganak niya, meron na siyang PhilHealth

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001934

number at itatrack siya

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001935

all the way to

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001936

hanggat kailangan niya ng vaccination

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001937

and immunization. Ganoon ba yung mangyayari?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001938

Yes po. Kaya po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001939

ang objective namin, very tall

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001940

orders. Ayokong 80% dapat ng population

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001941

na ka-enroll na sa

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001942

YACAP by 2028.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001943

But the problem,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001944

Secretary, is actually

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001945

nakikita kong problema. I'm also

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001946

listening earlier. It's really your

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001947

inventory management. I think this

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001948

is a bigger problem

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001949

in your

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001950

management

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001951

issues. Nakita ko

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001952

and I'll show you later on some of

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001953

the inventory and execution

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001954

issues. But in inventory problem,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001955

it's something

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001956

that you need to put a lot of

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001957

attention kasi daming perang nasasayang.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001958

Only on the

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001959

seven immunization vaccines,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001960

500 billion na.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001961

Hindi pa natin pinag-uusapan pa yung

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001962

mga ibang mga vaccines. And I hear

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001963

this in the LGUs na

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001964

gusto nilang mag-immunize, gusto

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001965

nilang magpa-e-vaccine yung

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001966

kanilang mga constituents pero wala silang

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001967

commodities.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001968

Wala silang commodities.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001969

So I also,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001970

I also suggest that

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001971

i-top natin yung mga LGUs.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001972

Yung mga LGUs na gustong magpa-immunize,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001973

bigay lang tayo ng bigay

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001974

sa kanila para sila nang gumalaw

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001975

on the ground. Tutal, ano talaga eh,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001976

ang mga LGUs talaga ang gagalaw

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001977

dahil sila ang merong health centers.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001978

Sila ang merong

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001979

yung

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001980

BHWs. Sila yung

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001981

nag-house to house. So

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001982

mas maganda ibigay, download nilang

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001983

ng download, based on their

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001984

projected

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001985

relation. So that's what I suggest.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001986

Maganda yung programa ninyo

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001987

but yung nakikita

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001988

kong problem is inventory

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001989

management.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001990

And of course, wala

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001991

namang health, public health na walang

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001992

medicine, walang vaccines. So

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001993

that's one thing that we need to

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001994

solve,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-001995

Secretary.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001995-split-2

Yes po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001996

kaya nga po yung tinignan ko

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001997

yung inventory management system.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001998

Outdated na po at hindi daw

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-001999

na may maintain. Matagal na daw pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002000

hindi gano'ng nagagamit. Kaya sa'yo ko,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002001

yun yung una nating ayusin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002002

Down to the level of the LGUs

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002003

and RHUs. Kasi minsan po, natatrack

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002004

lang hanggang dun sa regional office eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002005

Hindi down to the last mile nung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002006

actual delivery nung services.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002007

Correct. Kasi na-point

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002008

out ito ni Senator Raffy and

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002009

hopefully

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002010

under your leadership, once and for all,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002011

masolve na itong

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002012

inventory management

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002013

issues natin.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002014

Next is on nutrition.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002015

And this is related

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002016

So

asr-002038

0 to 5 years old to.

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002039

So in other words, 20% of our

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002041

bansot or stunted.

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002048

talo na siya eh.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002049

So I want to ask

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002050

the National Nutrition Council

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002051

who sits also

in the Early Childhood

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002053

Council,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002054

ano ang

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002055

strategy natin dito? I don't expect

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002056

DOH to feed

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002057

all our 0 to 5 children.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002058

Imposible yan. The only way

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002059

to do that is to work

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002060

with the LGUs.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002061

Kung wala yung LGU, hindi natin

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002062

mapapakain lahat yan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002063

Per year, on the average, it's about

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002064

3 million kids.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002065

So kung 0 to 5 yan,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002066

so we're talking about more or less

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002067

siguro mga

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002068

ilan yan? Ilang bata yan?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002069

Siguro mga around

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002070

30 million? 8 million?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002071

Sorry, may mali ano ko.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002072

But 8 million na bata.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002073

So hahanapin natin

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002074

yung 8 million na bata na yan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002075

So that is LGUs.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002076

I want to ask

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002077

the NNC, how do we

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002078

once and for all resolve this?

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002079

In fairness, bumaba tayo since

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

is the goal is

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

kung ayos tayo sa targeting,

also a form of malnutrition.

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002212

Kasi maraming mga councils gusto

mag-implement rin, which is

asr-002214

completely wrong. Kasi

lang po ay baka dapat ang sinusukat,

asr-002284

is kung ano yung nakakita natin kapag

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002327

yung YACAP program po, sabi ko,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002328

medyo dagdagan na natin dahil una

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002329

man yung sinasabing

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

programa ni Secretary

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002331

Mercado for this administration,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002332

tawagin na natin yung para sa first

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002333

1,000 days, unang YACAP.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002334

Dahil yung unang YACAP na yan

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002335

ang makakabuo nung

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002336

ating sinasabing benefit package,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002337

alam po natin, Mr. Chair, na sa

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002338

Universal Health Care Act, meron pong pagkahati

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002339

na ang population-based services

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002340

ay dapat hindi PhilHealth,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002341

tapos ang individual-based services ay dapat

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002342

sa PhilHealth. Ang sagot ko

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002343

naman po dun, Mr. Chair, is pag binasa

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002344

po natin, pag nag-M-panel

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002345

na ang isang nanay or

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002346

ang pamilya sa YACAP, then consider

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002347

na siyang individual-based service.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002348

So pwedeng ganun po yung approach, kaya

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002349

linatagwa lang rin po para

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002350

alam ng ating stakeholders na

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002351

even from preconception, Mr. Chair,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002352

kasi maraming neural tube

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002353

defects, yung

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002354

spina bifida na sinasabi,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002355

masasolve yan sa ating

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002356

flower fortification with folate.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002357

Kahapon po, nakapunta po tayo sa

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002358

FNRI, nandoon naman po yung equipment, konekonek

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002359

tado po eh. There are

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002360

I think licensed

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002361

technology acceptors

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002362

na sasabihin lang daw sa kanila

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002363

na palitan yung harina na

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002364

ihahalo nila na may folate at

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002365

kayang gawin niyang nationwide. Basically

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002366

with their indulgence, linatag ko lang po na

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002367

pwede nating buuhin yun from

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002368

preconception all the way to

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002369

prenatal,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002370

yung eight antenatal

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002371

care visits ng ating PhilHealth,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002372

tapos yung immediate newborn care,

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002373

yung mga bakuna na na-discuss na po ng Senate

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002374

President.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002375

And even yung exclusive breastfeeding

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002376

zero to six.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002377

So, papasok yan sa YACA program, in other words, from prenatal all the way hanggang mga nakimbata, hanggang mabigyan ng vaccines.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002378

Opo, meron pong gano'n ng vision.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002379

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002380

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.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002381

So, baka yun po yung pwede natin gawin on the part of nutrition financing.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002382

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?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002383

And what, on the implementation side, how do we reach?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002384

Reach those zero to five, using that YACAP program na dinescribe mo.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002385

Thank you, Mr. Chair, sa tanong.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002386

Sa gawing, ano po ba ang makaka-udyok para sa ating mga pamilya?

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002387

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.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002388

So, pwede ho nating...

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002389

I-review yung indicators.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002390

Most likely, aligned naman po sila.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002391

But again, ang limitation lang po dun kasi, sa four-piece lang po ito.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002392

So, if we go beyond the four-piece families, kasi na-establish nga ho natin na there are around 8.7 million.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002393

So, di naman lahat yun, ha, four-piece.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002394

Yan po yung hindi ko humasagot na mabilisang ngayon, pero hahanapan natin.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002395

But the idea is, kailangan siyang i-link sa isang incentive na makukuha nung pamilya.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002396

Maybe, baka mga food stamps program or yung walang gutom program.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002397

Later on sa DepEd, na pwede nating ikabit-kabit ho para meron talagang malaking panghikayat dun sa mga pamilya na bumisita sa health center.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002398

Or, another alternative, Mr. Chair, is we have around 42,000 to 45,000 barangay nutrition scholars na nandiyan po, dedicated.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002399

Nagdadasal sila yung PD 1569 na isa na ma-amend na rin para yung kanilang benefits ay tumaas.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002400

At yun po ay talagang nagbabahay-bahay sila.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002401

Alam nila, kahit tanungin po sila, I've tried.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002402

In four areas, Mr. Chair, they can point to the exact bahay.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002403

Kung gusto ka daw puntahan, puntahan namin.

Source

NNC Executive Director IV and DOH Undersecretary Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo

asr-002404

Kung nasan yung mga malnourish na bata.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002405

Well, just to give you, Usec, finaflag ko yung department about this issue.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002406

And again, hopefully under this new management ni Secretary Mercado, mabigyan ng attention itong nutrition natin with your new strategies.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002407

Naririnig ko may mga bago kayong approaches.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002408

On nutrition, on immunization, even on inventory management.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002409

So, we'll take a look at that in the next 12 months.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002410

Importante, bininalabas ko lang ito so that the new team will have an idea of what to address in the next few months.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002411

My next topic, Mr. Chairman, with your permission.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002412

And this is on HFEP, yung Health Facilities Enhancement

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002413

Program, in which 14.5 billion ang nakuha for next year.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002414

But I was also looking at some reports.

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002416

Pero merong 38 projects worth 11 billion na delayed in implementation.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002430

Meron 136 projects worth 1.1 billion.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002431

Idle, unutilized, non-operational.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002432

Merong 1.1 billion, underutilized, and so on and so forth.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002433

Merong 227 worth 3.1 billion, unimplemented, not yet started.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002434

So, the question, and maraming iba-ibang dahilan eh.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002435

We went through the COA report, iba-iba yung dahilan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002436

So, how do we resolve this, Secretary?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002437

Okay.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002438

Considering na, and mamaya papakita ko, na yung bed occupancy rate natin is surpassing 100%.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002439

In some areas, 200%.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002440

Some areas, 300%.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002441

And yet, meron tayong 17 billion na either delayed, unutilized, or hindi na-implement pa.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002442

And then, we are also now pumping in 14 billion pesos again on HFEP.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002443

Ako, I support capacity building.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002444

Kailangan natin talaga to increase capacity.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002445

Okay.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002446

But there's also another implementation problem pagdating sa HVAP.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002447

So, what is the new team doing in order to address this implementation problem?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002448

So, ang direction nga po is look at the healthcare provider network ecosystem.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002449

Whether it's geographically defined as a region or a particular province, depending on the actual situation on the ground.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002450

So, ang plano ko po ay mag-define.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002451

Ano ba dapat ang basic standard of a typical RHU?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002452

And then, ano po yung next level?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002453

Kailangan ba in every district may isang super health center?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002454

And then, going up in the province, should the district hospitals be standardized?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002455

Para may standard din po for district hospitals of such a big geographic catchment, which should contain this equipment.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002456

Allocative efficiency, Sen.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002457

Para po alam natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002458

Kasi ngayon nga po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002459

When I looked at the HVAP, tabi-tabi, gusto, kanya-kanyang MRI, kanya-kanyang CT scan, na hindi naman po ganong ka-efficient.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002460

Meron pong tinatawag in the U.S. Certificate of Needs eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002461

Bago ka maglagay ng bagong gamit, meron pong science into it to look sapat ba yung existing market mo to serve a particular facility.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002462

So, i-de-define po namin yan all the way up to the Apex Hospital, which could either be a tertiary provincial hospital,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002463

or a regional hospital.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002464

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.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002465

In the existing facilities po, tinitingnan ko nga, sabi ko ang priority nating tapusin ay yung mga completed but not operational,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002466

baka kulang lang ng gamit, or those that are partially completed but operating, baka kulang lang na matapos yung facility,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002467

or yung...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002468

partially completed but not operating, kulang ba naman power.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002469

So, we have to analyze.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002470

But again, moving forward po, apart from yung ating strategy ng allocative efficiency going up through the tiering of the value chain,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002471

is also look at compliant ba muna doon sa mga site conditions yung mga nagre-request.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002472

So, we already have the omnibus guidelines for the HVEP that the proponent needs to...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002473

needs to satisfy.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002474

Otherwise po, hindi namin sinasama as priority.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002475

Hindi pa na-transfer yung title ng lupa.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002476

Wala ka namang ability to put up your...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002477

Alimbawa po, may lumapit sa amin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002478

Bakit di kami na...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002479

na...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002480

na...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002481

kaklassify as...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002482

hindi nyo pa nabibigay yung CT scan sa amin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002483

E wala pong three-phase transformer na at saka three-phase electricity available in the area.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002484

So, yun po yung aming iano.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002485

Plus yung manpower availability rin po doon sa area.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002486

Either we...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002487

Augment or the LGU should be very clear in their MOA with us

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002488

that they will provide the manpower.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002489

Kasi yun din po, pag na-finish, minsan sabi ng MOA, wala kaming pera.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002490

Kung kayo po ay compelled, because nasa MOA naman na dapat sa inyo po kayo mag-provide,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002491

dapat po, handa na rin yun.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002492

So, yun po yung tinatahi-tahi po namin.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002493

Secretary, two things.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002494

Number one, yung mga existing projects.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002495

Wala na flash.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002496

Paki-flash ulit, Elena.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002497

Ito ka lang matapos at mag-operate yan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002498

Because nagbuos na tayo ng 17 billion dito sa mga facilities na ito.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002499

So, my first question is, how are you addressing or how will you address itong mga delays, unimplemented?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002500

How are you going to address that?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002501

And then number two question is, may iba bang modality na much more efficient that we can use?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002502

For example,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002503

PPP, for example, private sector hospitals, then we give them incentives to take in public sector patients.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002504

That's where PhilHealth, universal healthcare will come in.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002505

So, talagang sakit ng gobyerno pag nagpatayo, delay.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002506

That's really a problem, not only in DOH, across the board yan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002507

Of the government agency.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002508

So, first question is, how do we address this?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002509

Second is, are there other modalities that we can look at in order to solve this construction issue?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002510

So, yun nga po.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002511

Sir Chairman, excuse me.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002512

Yes, send me.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002513

Tutulungan ko lang sa magot si Secretary Mercado.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002514

Alam ko nahihiyas siyang sabihin yung totoo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002515

Ang major cost ng delay, ano, at saka yung mga underutilized.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002516

Utilization ng pondo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002517

Insertions, diba?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002518

So, hindi kasalanan ng DOH kasi ito yung post-NEP.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002519

Meron kayong programa sa NEP, hindi naman yung ma-implement properly kasi hindi kasama sa plano ninyo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002520

Because of insertions made by legislators.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002521

Huwag nang kayong mahiya.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002522

Yan naman totoo, diba?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002523

Partly.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002524

Kaya po, kahit may mga request pong gano'n.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002525

Yan, yan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002526

Yan lang po namin.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002527

I know you're just being shy, you know, or you're just being polite.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002528

But don't worry.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002529

Kasi pagdating sa BICAM, trabaho niya ni Senator JV na ma-arrest o kaya ma-address yung issue

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002530

na kaya nagkakaroon ng underutilization, mga hindi na-implement.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002531

Ganyan sa DPWH eh.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002532

Kasi paano i-implement kung hindi naman kayo nagplano?

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002533

Kung saan-saan in-insert.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002534

Ito yung sa amendments.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002535

Period of amendments.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002536

Kanya-kanya singitan.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002537

Tapos hindi naman ma-implement kasi wala sa plano ninyo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002538

Wala sa priorities ninyo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002539

Wala sa needs ninyo.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002540

Yun namang legislator na nagsingit, wala rin naman siyang coordination sa DOH.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002541

It's bad enough na nag-insert.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002542

Pero at least man lang, prior to insertion or amendment,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002543

nagsabi, bumusin naman lang na ito ba kaya nating implement.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002544

So, huwag na ka mahiya, Sekretary.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002545

Sen Ping, yung nabanggit ni Secretary na HFEP guidelines, malaking bagay yun.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002546

I agree with Sen Ping na lalo na, siguro may second round.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002547

Nakita ko yung isa rin sa mga problema, yung super health centers.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002548

Na ang daming unused, i-flash ko na nga since andito na tayo.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002549

Yung slide 20.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002550

Slide 20, Elena.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002551

Yan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002552

Yan.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002553

Ito yung super health centers.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002554

About 2.9 billion completed but not operational.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002555

About 3.9 billion completed, not completed or no clear status update.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002556

Meaning, hindi alam kung anong situation na.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002557

So, ito rin isang mga nakita namin problema.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002558

Ito, connectado sa sinabi ni Sen Ping, na marami rin kasing mga

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002559

na i-insert ng super health center, ayaw naman ng LGU patakbuhin dahil ayaw nilang magbayad ng kuryente.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002560

Hindi sila makakuha ng nurse.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002561

Ayaw nilang bumili ng gamot.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002562

So, in other words, nakatayo na yung super health center, ayaw ang kininong LGU.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002563

So, nagiging problema rin.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002564

I think this is something that hopefully your guidelines, kung strictly ma-implementa, can be resolved.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002565

Mr. Chair, maraming lumalapit sa aking mga governors na sabi niya,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002566

pwede bang i-restrict niyo yung mga HFEP projects?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002567

Kasi nagugulantang na lang kami na mayroon palang biglang are issues na hindi naman nakasama doon sa local health investment plan ng pabilisya.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002568

These are institutional problems that must be addressed.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002569

This is beyond your level already.

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002570

Kasi pagdating ng budget,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002571

the deliberations,

Source

Senator Panfilo Lacson

asr-002572

medyo, anyway.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002573

So, yung pagka

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002574

at least set the rules nga po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002575

kung may mga ganyong pagkakataon,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002576

dapat naman mag-align dahil nga po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002577

nasasayang. Then secondly nga po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002578

even the way we download and

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002579

we procure. So, ako gawin na natin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002580

just like what you said earlier po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002581

Senwin, na yung local government,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002582

kasi kung sila, may responsibility

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002583

rin sila at meron silang accountability

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002584

kung di nila ma-operate.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002585

Kasi sila may

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002586

input na sila eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002587

And thirdly po, doon sa prospect po ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002588

PPP, pinag-usapan na po namin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002589

yan sa PISAC. Ako rin po ay nakaupo doon

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002590

sa Private Sector Advisory Council.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002591

Ang hiling daw po ng private sector,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002592

eh, syempre, mamumuhunang kami.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002593

Huwag naman akalain

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002594

ng mga tao na

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002595

paano kami magiging

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002596

at least break-even.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002597

There's a financial model that should be

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002598

well thought of.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002599

Kaya sabi namin, meron naman pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002600

yakap na na nagbabayad.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002601

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?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002602

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.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002603

Thank you, Secretary. And lastly, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002604

Mr. Chair.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002605

That's why yung 2020.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002606

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.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002607

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.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002608

So patayin.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002609

Pa-rectify na lang yun kasi nandoon na ho yung super health centers. At the same time, Secretary.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002610

Mr. Chair, Senate President, if I may lang.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002611

Taposin ko na lang.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002612

Taposin ko na lang.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002613

And then, Secretary, let's explore other modalities. Kasi mga other modalities can be much more efficient. Especially meron na tayong universal health care.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002614

Ang gusto lang naman ng mga private sector, pag nagtayo kami, mababayaran kami.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002615

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.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-002616

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002617

Thank you, our Senate President.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002618

Yes, we plan to take a lunch break. Parang kasi ang pangit naman nagla-lunch tayo.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002619

Siguro mga 30-minute lunch break. But before that, our Senator Bongo would like to give his opening statement, I believe.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002620

Salamat po, Mr. Chair, Senate President, Senator Lackson, Mr. Chair, Senator JV.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002621

Pakibalik lang po yung slides kanina. Kaya gusto ko sanang pumasok sa sumingit kay Senate President.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002622

Yan, yan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002623

Secretary Mercado, last year po, binigyan ng prioridad ni Senator Win Gatchalian, then Finance Chair.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002624

Now, Senator.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002625

Senate President Win Gatchalian, na mabigyan ng prioridad yung completion.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002626

Yun po yung naging usapan noon to make it operational at magamit po itong mga super health center.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002627

At marami, I agree with the Senate President na yung iba, mayroon pong mga LGUs na hirap pong patakbuhin ito.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002628

But marami pong mga LGUs na gusto at willing, lalong-lalo na po yung mga liblib

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002629

na lugar, yung mga islands.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002630

Remember, more than 7,000 islands po tayo sa buong Pilipinas, lalo na sa Mindanao.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002631

Meron pong mga lugar doon, 4 hours ang biyahe sa bangka, papunta lang sa town proper, another 2 hours papunta sa hospital.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002632

Halimbawa na lang po yung Balot Island sa Mindanao.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002633

4 hours yun, yun yung na-earthquake recently.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002634

Yung mga buntis doon, nanganak na lang sa bangka sa sobrang layo.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002635

Ngayon, meron na silang super health center.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002636

Marami pong mga lugar na willing rin po silang malagyan ng super health center.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002637

Tulad ng Tingloy, Batangas.

Source

Willing yung LGUs, complement each other.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002640

Ang importante po dyan, magko-complement po ang LGUs at saka yung DOH.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002641

Mag-aralan yung mabuti.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002642

Kung kaya ba nila, bago nyo pasukin, bago nyo pirmahan yung kontrata.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002643

Kung kaya ba nilang mag-operate.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002644

Marami pong mga LGUs na willingly na mag-operate po.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002645

May kakayahan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002646

Yung iba naman po talaga totoo, hindi rin po nilang kaya.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002647

So, importante po dyan, yung DOH, kayo po ang may regional offices.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002648

Kayo po yung pwedeng magpa-check kung meron ba silang kakayahan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002649

Complement each other lang po ang DOH at yung LGUs.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002650

Malaking tulong po yun sa mga liblib na lugar.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002651

Marami pong bundok dito sa atin.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002652

Halimbawa na lang po sa Lake Sebu,

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002653

sa South Cotabato.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002654

Two hours yung biyahe doon sa bundok nila.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002655

Tuwang-tuwa po yung mayor doon.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002656

At willing naman po silang mag-operate.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002657

Importante lang po, supporta po ng HPEP.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002658

To make it operational.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002659

During my time as chairman ng Committee on Health,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002660

yan po ang parati kong pinapaalala sa mga DOH secretary.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002661

To make it operational.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002662

At huwag pong iiwan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002663

Sa White Elephant.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002664

Kaya last year, I agree with the Senate Finance Chair, SP Win Gatchalian,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002665

Naunahin po, bigyan ng prioridad yung mga completion muna.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002666

Huwag yung mga bago.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002667

Tapusin muna lahat ito para magamit po.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002668

Sayang naman po na maiwan po siyang nakatiwangwang dyan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002669

Yun lang pong pakiusap ko sa DOH bilang vice chair po ng health.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002670

So, make it operational.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002671

All throughout the years, yan po ang palala ko sa inyo.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002672

To make it operational and complement with each other po ang DOH at ang LGUs.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002673

Dahil maraming LGUs na willing pong mag-operate rin po ng mga super health centers.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002674

Anyway, maraming salamat my esteemed colleagues and the Department of Health.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002675

Congratulations po, Secretary Mercado, on your appointment as Secretary of Health.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002678

Bago po tayo mag-lunch break, I would like to place on record that I support the budget of the Department of Health

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002679

and its attached agencies and corporations.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002680

Importante po ang budget sa kalusugan dahil investment po ito sa ating mamamayan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002681

Health is wealth.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002682

Ang katumbas po ng kalusugan ay katumbas ng buhay ng bawat Pilipino.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002683

Maraming Pilipino din po ang kailangan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002684

Ang tulong medikal na dapat tugunan ng ating gobyerno.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002685

Importante lang po ito sa akin, Secretary Mercado, dahil galing po kayo sa PhilHealth noon.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002686

Bago po kayo na-appoint as Secretary of Health.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002687

Sin tax earmarking, it is important to note that Republic Act 11346 and Republic Act 11467

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002688

provides for the earmarking of excise taxes on certain products.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002689

These revenues are mandated by law to be allocated and used exclusively for health

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002690

for the implementation of the Universal Health Care Act,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002691

for medical assistance and health facilities enhancement program,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002692

for an attainment of the sustainable development goals.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002693

Ang layo pa po natin sa ngayon, we are still very far yet from the full implementation of the Universal Health Care.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002694

Ito po yung batas na ipinasapo dito noong 17th Congress,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002695

principally sponsored by our Chairperson, Sen. J.B. Ejército.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002696

Napaka-importante po itong landmark law na ito during the time of former President Duterte.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002697

Kaya lang po napansin ko, noong chairman po ako ng Committee on Health,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002698

nagkaroon po ako ng 14 hearings noong 2024 para po sa health emergency allowances ng ating mga health workers.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002699

Finally, narilis po yung 27 billion.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002700

Sa ating pangungulit, pagpupursige rito.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002701

At noong 2025, na-release po yung 6.7 billion sa HEA.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002702

I think meron pang balansi po ngayon na nag-a-appeal po ang ating mga health workers.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002703

Pinaghirapan po ito ng mga health workers natin.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002704

Pinagpawisan po nila ito.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002705

Sana po yung mabalikan nyo po itong mga appeals na ito.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002706

Dahil pinaghirapan ng mga health workers na.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002707

Sana po mabigyan po ito ng pansin.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002708

Anyway, balikan ko lang po itong sin tax.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002709

Paki, ano lang po ng slide.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002710

Noong 2024, paki flash lang po sa screen yung.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002711

Noong 2024 po, ang sin tax earmark for PhilHealth, kung di po ako nagkakamali, ay 79 billion.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002712

Dapat, batas po ito na ipinasan natin dito sa Congress.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002713

But, ang naibigay lang po sa GAA, ang approved po sa GAA ay 61 billion, 514 million.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002714

Ang pinagkunan po nito ay sa sin tax na 40 billion, 40.283 billion for subsidy for National Health Insurance.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002715

Or ito po yung sin tax.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002716

At 21 billion naman po ang kinuha sa PagCorp, naka-indicate doon.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002717

So, ibig sabihin po, ang dapat na na-earmark for 2024, dapat, ayon sa batas, ay 79 billion.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002718

Pero ang na-aprubahan po natin sa GAA ay 61 billion.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002719

Pero ang nakuha from sin tax, mula sa sin tax po, ay 40 billion.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002720

So, ibig sabihin may kulang pa dapat na about 29, almost 29 billion mula sa syntax.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002721

Baka pwede niyo po itong mapag-aralan sa pagsusuri ng 2027 budget.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002722

Ngunit nakakalungkot lang po, ng 2024, meron pong naitransfer na sinasabing excess funds.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002723

Kinuha po ng National Treasury, it was pulled sa mga unprogrammed funds.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002724

At hindi na po natin alam kung saan po ito nagamit.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002725

Hindi nga natin alam kung nagamit ba ito sa mga iba't ibang proyekto na hindi naman po related sa health.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002726

At finally, salamat sa Supreme Court na pag-desisyon na nila.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002727

Nung panahon yun, sinabi ko, legally, pumasa siya legally, but morally unacceptable po sa akin.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002728

But finally, nakapag-decide ang Supreme Court na illegal po yung transfer na 60 billion.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002729

Pero wala na, natransfer na. Dapat nagamit po yun.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002730

So, inaprubahan po 61 billion sa GAA.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002731

Bakit meron pong 60 billion na naitransfer sa National Treasury?

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002732

Ba't nagkaroon ng excess funds ang PhilHealth?

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002733

So, wala talagang excess funds na tinatawag ang PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002734

So, nagpanik po yung PhilHealth, for your information lang po, PCO Beverly Raynong.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002735

Nagpanik po yung PhilHealth, then led by Mandy Ledesma.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002736

Nagkaroon sila ng meeting, nung Disyembre, board meeting.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002737

Tinaasan nila yung case rates, tinaasan yung mga packages, kasi galit na yung tao.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002738

Bakit nila ginawa?

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002739

Nung Disyembre, yung meeting, eh pwede naman nilang gawin sana.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002740

Nung Januari, ginamit yung pondo ng PhilHealth, eh sana walang excess funds at walang winalis na pondo yung National Treasury na sinasabing excess funds.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002741

So, wala talagang excess funds, ibig sabihin.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002742

Yun lang po ang paalala ko na sana po'y huwag itong maulit.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002743

Pagdating po ng...

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002744

So, ibig sabihin ito ha, walang excess.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002745

Pero, meron pong naitransfer na 60 billion nung 2024.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002746

Nakakalungkot po yun.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002747

Maraming mga pasyente, natatanggihan, walang matakbuhan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002748

In fact, sa Cebu, merong buntis, mag-ina, nanganak na lang po sa sidewalk, namatay, dahil takot magpa-hospital.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002749

Meron po isa sa Rosario, sa Cavite, isang lalaki, ayaw rin pong magpa-hospital, namatay.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002750

At napakababa po.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002751

Meron po isang coverage ng PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002752

Meron po isang provincial health officer ng Camarines, sa Norte.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002753

Na-admit po siya.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002754

Nasabi ko na po ito.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002755

Na-admit po siya.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002756

6 million ang billing niya.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002757

Ang sinagot ng PhilHealth, 29,000.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002758

Na-admit siya muli.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002759

4 million ang sinagot ng PhilHealth, 27,000.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002760

A total of 57,000.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002761

Out of 10 million.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002762

Ang hospital billing niya.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002763

That is less than 1%.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002764

So, tinaasan ng PhilHealth noong Disyembre.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002765

Across the board.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002766

Across all rates.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002767

Kaya binila, taasan ng 50%.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002768

So, tinaasan ng 50% ng 57,000.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002769

That is 28,000 something.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002770

So, less than 1% pa rin ng nako-cover ng PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002771

Napakaliit pa rin po ang nako-cover ng PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002772

I'm sure ilan po sa inyo rito pag na-admit.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002773

Huwag naman sana kung nag-a-avail kayo ng packages or coverage ng PhilHealth PCO na

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002774

na-avail nyo na ho ba yung before po kayo na-appoint.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002775

Na-avail nyo na ho yung PhilHealth services.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002776

Maliit ho ba?

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002777

Naniniwala po kayo na maliit?

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002778

Pwede niyong sagutin po?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-002779

Chair, yes po.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-002780

Majority.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-002781

I mean, tumaas na po.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-002782

Pero hindi pa rin po niya fully nako-cover yung kailangan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002783

Pero maliit talaga.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002784

Kayo po, Secretary Mercado.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002785

Gaano kaliit

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002786

ang coverage

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002787

ng PhilHealth.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002788

Yung pagkakataon

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002789

pong ako yung na-confine

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002790

naman

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002791

eh substantial naman

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002792

kasi pumatak po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002793

dun sa bagong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002794

sa bago na po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002795

Pero yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002796

prior to that

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-002797

talagang napaka-liit.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002798

So tinanong ko lang po

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002799

kung bakit na-aprubahan

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002800

nung December

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002801

yung case race

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002802

kung sana

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002803

January pa lang

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002804

wala sanang

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002805

excess funds

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002806

kasi wala naman talaga

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002807

excess funds

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002808

ang PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002809

Pwede nyo gamitin

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002810

sa mga mahihira po ito

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002811

para hindi sila

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002812

matakot magpa-hospital.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002813

So iyan po yung

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002814

2024

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002815

na nakakalungkot.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002816

Puntahan natin yung

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002817

2025

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002818

dahil sinabi nila

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

na may pondo

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-002820

ang PhilHealth

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003196

Matagal ko na po

itong paalala sa inyo Secretary Herbosa pa noon na ah to make it operational

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003198

at wag hong iwanang naka tiwangwang but you have to complement with the LGU

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003199

marami pong LGU na walang kakayahang magpatayo ng mga health facilities

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003200

yung iba dyan mga fourth class municipalities ang budget niyan 100 ah

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003201

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003202

pang sweldo lang po yun sa tao wala silang kakayahang magpatayo ng mga health infrastructures

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

kaya nakasalalay po sa HPEP sa inyo po yung mga health ah infrastructures na

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003204

gusto nilang maitayo sa kanilang mga lugar lalong lalo na po sa mga malalayong lugar

Source

hirap po ang ating mga kababayan yung mga indigenous people malaking tulong po yung mga health centers

which is to ah to make ah specialized medical services available in all regions

Malaking tulong po ito sa mga kababayan natin sa malalayong lugar.

Okay. At saka ang ano natin dito,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003307

may commitment ang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003308

DOH ngayon na talagang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003309

mag-devise na ng

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003310

sistema.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003311

Para sa ganun, we will not be

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003316

commitment to devise

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003317

the system. To give another

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

if you may, yung pong

aming current

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003327

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003333

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003334

Of course, yung po sa tukos

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003335

sa ano, no? Our concern, of course, is

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003336

universal healthcare implementation.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003337

Doon po tukos sa out-of-pocket

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003338

spending, no? As mentioned earlier.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003339

It was mentioned earlier that the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003340

government plans to reduce the household

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003341

out-of-pocket share, which

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003342

was mentioned as 41.2%

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003343

at present to 28%.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003344

Ito yung target natin.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003345

That will be, of course,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003346

pag yan, maramdam na talaga yan.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003347

If we can really achieve,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003348

may we know what year

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003349

do you target

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003350

to achieve this? And please show us how

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003351

the 2027 budget moves

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003352

the country toward that target.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003353

So tingin nyo po ba, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003354

Anybody can answer that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003355

ito pong 2027 budget

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003356

would be

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003357

able to move

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003358

our program towards that target,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003359

yung pong 28%.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003360

Chair, we mentioned po na

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003361

in 2028, the target

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003362

is currently at 37.8%.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003363

Of course,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003364

it really depends on the

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003365

budget that's

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003366

allowed or that's allocated

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003367

to us. In our current

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003368

estimates,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003369

in

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003370

2028,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003371

the PhilHealth

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003372

budget needed under

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003373

the PDP target to reach

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003374

this is actually around 800

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003375

billion. And if we wanted

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003376

to increase

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003377

yes, basically, yun sir.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003378

So it's really dependent

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003379

on our ability to

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003380

fund,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003381

to increase the budget, and so

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003382

commensurate din po doon

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003383

yung pagbaba ng OOP po.

reimbursements, or other

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003398

expenditures? So

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003399

siguro yung gusto natin malaman.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003400

And then, siyempre,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003401

from 376 billion to 74

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003402

billion, I'd just like to ask also

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003403

how much is the bare minimum

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003404

that PhilHealth would be needing

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003405

so that these programs

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003406

may not be at least severely affected?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003407

Or at least going to that goal pa rin tayo?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003408

Yung tingin nyong may

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003409

at least bare minimum

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003410

that we can

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003411

we can

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003412

augment, no? So that kung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003413

ganun kalaki yung difference.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003414

So what

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003415

figure if there is?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003416

Sige pa.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003417

Chair, we mentioned

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003418

in our briefing to you that

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003419

when the

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003420

170 billion

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003421

that was originally proposed

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003422

was based on a calculation of

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003423

estimate number of indirect contributors

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003424

with a set premium

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003425

rate. However, we

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003426

understand that another way of

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003427

computing that would be

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003428

what would be our

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003429

sort of like break-even

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003430

cost. And if

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003431

we will base it on current

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003432

benefits and current utilization

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003433

rate of indirect contributors

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003434

projected for this whole

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003435

year, that would be

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003436

able to help us estimate what would

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003437

also be our payout at the minimum

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003438

next year. And the total payout is

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003439

around 244 billion.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003440

So 244 minus

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003441

the current allocated

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003442

74, that would be the deficit.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003443

About 200

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003444

About 244 po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003445

244.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003446

So what is the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003447

actuarially appropriated government

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003448

subsidy required to cover all

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003449

indirect contributors?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003450

That was the original

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003451

submission.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003452

Original submission we had

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003453

which was 370.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003454

Okay.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003455

Yung ano na lang po yung usual,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003456

it was

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003457

brought out

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003458

earlier yung po ni

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003459

Dr. Bongo. How can we increase

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003460

field health participation in hospital bills?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003461

Kasi ito naman talaga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003462

UHC, reducing the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003463

out-of-pocket expense

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003464

so that even the middle class and the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003465

direct contributors may feel the benefit

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003466

right now. Kasi at least malaking bagay

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003467

yung zero balance billing and other

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003468

benefits. Pero yung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003469

middle class kasi na

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003470

sila yung direct contributors

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003471

they feel that sometimes they are

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003472

shortchanged. Bisa 100,000

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003473

yung billing. Tapos

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003474

ang field health participation is 5,000

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003475

to 8,000 lang. So

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003476

what can we do? Is it

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003477

increase in subsidy

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003478

more subsidy so that we can increase

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003479

the participation? Or is it yung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003480

case rates?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003481

Na-update na po

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003482

natin. So sige pa.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003483

Chair, so we have multiple

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003484

strategies to address that.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003485

Definitely,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003486

we need to be able to

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003487

control some of the

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003488

expenses, right?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003489

We can't keep increasing the rates

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003490

and that would just result into

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003491

unnecessary inflation. So

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003492

for that, our

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003493

goal is to be able to negotiate

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003494

more directly with hospitals

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003495

and that would mean the

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003496

hospitals needing to work with their

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003497

physicians. And in parallel,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003498

we are working with the medical societies

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003499

to look at how much we may

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003500

be able to work with them

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003501

to sort of standardize

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003502

some of the professional fees

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003503

at least for the most common rates. So

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003504

that would be the first one. Second

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003505

would be for hospitals that agree

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003506

to increase their no balance

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003507

billing beds. Ngayon naman po required

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003508

lang yung government hospital

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003509

ng 90% and yung private

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003510

ng 10%.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003511

Those who will abide by

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003512

those numbers or even increase

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003513

more, we are

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003514

contemplating to do

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003515

global budget for them or advance

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003516

payments. The UHC law

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003517

also specifically

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003518

mentioned to use

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003519

diagnosis-related groupings, meaning

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003520

ngayon po kahit tinaasa natin

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003521

yung case rate natin, we

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003522

expect that for

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003523

patients with comorbidities,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003524

older age, etc.,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003525

medyo mas malaki rin naman po talaga

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003526

yung case rates nila. So

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003527

we have started collecting data,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003528

yung CF2 and

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003529

CF5 data, and yun po yung gagamitin

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003530

natin as modifiers

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003531

para mataasan pa

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003532

ng konti yung rates for select

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003533

types of patients. And then

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003534

lastly, we also have a work

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003535

stream currently to work

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003536

with HMOs.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003537

And that's partly

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003538

for benefit complementation

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003539

as well as future

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003540

plans for a PhilHealth Plus

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003541

or yung supplementary insurance, which is

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003542

also under the UHC Act.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003543

Thank you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003544

We welcome. We're actually

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003545

through the years,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003546

we're entering the seventh year of

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003547

implementation of UHC. At least ngayon

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003548

medyo nag-improve na. Well, of course,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003549

under Dr. Mercado, yung inyong pong

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003550

paghahawak sa PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003551

nag-improve, and I'm sure it will further

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003552

improve now that you're secretaried with

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003553

Dr. Beverly.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003554

Nag-improve na rin yung participation

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003555

ng Zero Balance Bill. Ang problema lang,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003556

as mentioned by Dr.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003557

DocBev, yung medical inflation

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003558

and professional fees.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003559

We welcome

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003560

the expansion of PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003561

benefits because the goal is to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003562

bring down the out-of-pocket

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003563

expense of patients.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003564

However, ang nangyari

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003565

po kasi, ang nangyayari,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003566

it doesn't

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003567

mean that higher PhilHealth benefits

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003568

simply result in higher hospital charges

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003569

and professional fees.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003570

Nangyari siguro, dahil gumanda

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003571

ang packages ng PhilHealth,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003572

tapos meron pa tayo ma-EFIP,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003573

ang problema,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003574

naging limited na yung benefits kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003575

hospitals

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003576

and even doctors

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003577

increase their professional fees.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003578

Doctor, ah, hospitals

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003579

ah, increase their billings,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003580

no, yung kanilang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003581

charges. So,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003582

minsan nga ako may nakausap ako,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003583

Sir President,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003584

may nakausap mga mayors, kasi mga mayors tayo

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003585

nakakausap natin.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003586

Meron daw ma-EFIP na ibinigay sa kanila

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003587

na worth 5 million. Dati ang dami hong

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003588

naku-cover, no,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003589

na pasyente. Pero ngayon daw,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003590

sampu na lang minsan

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003591

or ilan na lang kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003592

sabi niya, ngayon ang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003593

hospital bill kasi hindi na bumaba

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003594

pa ng six digits.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003595

So, ano siguro dito,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003596

another challenge is

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003597

ang nagiging

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003598

rason ng mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003599

hospitals and doctors kasi matagal daw

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003600

yung bayad, yung processing ng PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003601

Do we, can we do something about this

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003602

para hindi na, sinasabi lang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003603

kaya nila nilataasan kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003604

cost of money at lahat. So,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003605

yun ang nangyayari. I'm sure that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003606

this will be

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003607

given attention at may ayos

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003608

natin to. Yun lang po, yung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003609

medical inflation, no, na

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003610

sayang kasi yung benefit ng PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003611

nag-improve, yung ma-EFIP

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003612

nandyan. Kaya lang, ganun din.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003613

Nagtaasa na ba ng fees ng

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003614

doktor tapos ng mga hospital?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003615

So,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003616

yun, what can we do about this

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003617

Doc Bev? And siguro Secretary

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003618

Mercado also.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003618-split-2

So, Chair,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003619

dun sa claims turnaround

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003620

time on the reforms that

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003621

Doc Edwin has already started, our claims

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003622

turnaround time on average

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003623

is already at around 19,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003624

no, and in some regions, 19

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003625

days and in some regions, it's actually already

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003626

down to even 10 days.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003627

What we also need to

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003628

fix is because we,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003629

at least for private hospitals, we pay

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003630

the whole fee to the hospitals

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003631

and we also receive reports that

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003632

some hospitals don't easily

asr-003635

far back as 6 to 9

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003636

months bago po nila binibigay, no. So, may

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003637

mga reminders na dun pero

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003638

maybe we also need to have

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003639

stricter rules around it

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-003640

for those that keep

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003642

Mr. Chair,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003643

So, the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003644

maipipa sa second payer

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003645

should really be

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003646

also strategic. So,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003647

in much the same way that PhilHealth is

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003648

looking at a contracted

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003649

arrangement with

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003650

private hospitals especially because

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003651

of the provision that 10% of their

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003652

bed should be NBB.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003653

Alam po namin na may mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003654

case rates na hindi pa rin sapat.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003655

So, supposedly dun ang maipip.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003656

So, along that line, ang plano

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003657

ko rin po sa DOH Maipip

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003658

para po dun sa mga mas matataas na uri

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003659

ng sakit na yung mga private hospitals

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003660

ang meron ay talaga pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003661

kausapin din yung private hospital and

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003662

negotiate on a fixed

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003663

payment scheme based on

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003664

a lot of ways. It could be

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003665

RVU times certain

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003666

multiple including the professional fees.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003667

And even

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003668

in the same way, front-loaded.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003669

Pinag-usapan na po namin yung EMA-IFU po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003670

kasi virtual front-loading eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003671

Binibigay na yun sa may allocation

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003672

na per

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003673

government hospital. We are already

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003674

expanding from DOH to LGU hospital.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003675

Pero sabi ko, pwede ba natin physically

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003676

makuha rin para

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003677

magamit na ng mga hospital for their

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003678

utilization and

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003679

purchase of commodities para maibaba

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003680

nila dahil front-loaded nga.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003681

So yun po yung tinitingnan namin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003682

if it should cover

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003683

those that are not beyond PhilHealth

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003684

but on a negotiated rate. And once we have

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003685

the data, baka yun din po yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003686

magpagbasihan na ibigay na natin sa PhilHealth.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003687

Sa PhilHealth, yung portion na yun

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003688

para wala na ma-cover

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003689

yung MAIFIP dahil ikaw na magko-cover.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003690

So yun po yung progression

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003691

na nakikita ko po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003692

Yes, ano lang.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003693

As Dr. Bonga would like to ask, pero yung siguro

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003694

sana yung concrete measures will be

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003695

there will be concrete

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003696

measures from DOH and PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003697

that will be put in place

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003698

for 2026 to make sure that the expansion

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003699

of the benefits of

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003700

PhilHealth and MAIFIP

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003701

funding will not simply be eaten up

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003702

by medical inflation

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003703

for higher hospital

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003704

charges and professional fees.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003705

So yun lang yung ano natin gawin

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003706

siguro para hindi nung masaya kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003707

nag-improve nga tayo pero kinakain naman

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003708

yung medical inflation.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003709

So,

In fact, kahapon nga mineet ko po

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

ang HFEP. Sabi ko hindi. Gagawa tayo ng decision tree

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003746

Ito muna unahin natin. Yung mga

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003747

not completed, yung mga partially

to give priority on this?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003780

Yes, Mr. Chair

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003781

Sen Bong. Ang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003782

17 specialties po yan, in fact,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003783

at nakalatag na nga po base sa

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003784

magandang pag-aaral. Meron pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003785

datos sa pinagbasihan yan kung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003786

saan po ilalagay. Yun po yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003787

titingnan ko rin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003788

Yung nga lang po, pwede rin po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003789

natin i-prioritize

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003790

according to that law kasi marami

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003791

rin pong humihingi at humihiling na

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003792

maglagay din ng specialty centers.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003793

Minsan po nagdodoble o nag-overlap.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003794

And lastly,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003795

before we take a

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003796

break, napag-usapan rin

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003797

po kanina ni Senator J.B.,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003798

our Chairperson ng Committee on

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003799

Finance, napaka-importante po itong

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003800

out-of-pocket expenditures

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003801

na mababawasan,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003802

kung maaari, in line

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003803

with the

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003804

priority ng

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003805

Executive Department ngayon. Ito pong

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003806

zero balance

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003807

billing. Sana po

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003808

na magawa nyo ng paraan

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003809

na kung maaari, wala na

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003810

sanang mabayaran

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003811

yung mga pasyente.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003812

Alam kong imposible sa ngayon.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003813

Sabi ko nga, we are still very

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003814

far, very far

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003815

yet from the full

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003816

implementation of the universal healthcare.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003817

Siguro maraming

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003818

nangyari, panahon

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003819

ng pandemia, pero

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003820

ang layo pa natin sa full implementation.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003821

Pero importante rito, sana

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003822

mabawasan yung babayaran nila.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003823

If not, talagang zero balance

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003824

na not only sa charity

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003825

ward.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003826

Yung iba kasi,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003827

puno talaga eh.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003828

Kahit

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003829

gustuhin man nila na nasa

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003830

charity ward sila.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003831

Pero yung hospital,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003832

punong-puno talaga. At napipilitan

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003833

sila minsan

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003834

na

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003835

kumuha ng

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003836

private room, yung shared room

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003837

o semi-private

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003838

room. Yung iba nga, hindi

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003839

makalabas ng hospital, walang

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003840

pambayad. Nadedetained pa

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003841

minsan sa hospital. Hindi naman

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003842

nila kagustuhan. Kaya

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003843

meron tayong ipapasa,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003844

tinatalakay dito

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003845

na batas na

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003846

ma-amend yung

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003847

hospital detention law.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003848

Pero sana, yung mga

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003849

pasyente na

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003850

napipilitan doon sa semi-private,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003851

ay makukover nyo na rin po aside

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003852

from charity ward.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003853

At nasa

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003854

batas rin naman po itong

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003866

to remind nyo. Sa inyo naman po yung

asr-003869

ang ating layunin na walang

pasyente at matulungan yung

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003872

pinakamahirap.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003873

Meron tayong batas na

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003874

Republic Act 11463

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003875

for the Malasakit Centers Act.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003876

Ipinasa natin yung 18th Congress.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003877

Supportado yan ng mga kasamahan natin dito

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003878

to make

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003879

access to medical assistance

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003880

easier and more convenient.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

hindi nyo

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003887

programa ng

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Okay lang po sa akin yan.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003894

sa mga pasyente na walang matakbuhan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003895

Yun lang po ang pakiusap ko

sa inyo. Supportado ko po

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003897

parati ang DOH.

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-003898

Wala lang sanang

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

But anyway, with regards

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003924

to mental health,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003925

we have repeatedly raised the alarm over the

asr-003926

increasing number of suicide and mental

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003927

health cases among Filipino youth.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003928

Particularly students, we need sufficient

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003929

funding not only for treatment but

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003930

also for early detection

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003933

mental health initiatives,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003934

I know for a fact that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003935

DOH meron po tayong

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003936

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003938

you are providing also

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003939

yung mga maintenance

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003940

medicines which are very expensive

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003946

Kaya lang, ang problema, people

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003947

are not aware of this.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003948

Probably, what can we do

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003949

to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003950

for information

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003951

dissemination so that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003952

people can avail of this?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003953

Kasi this is a clear and present danger.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003954

Sarami ng mga, especially

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003955

the youth and others who are

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003956

having mental health problems.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003957

So, ano po

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003958

natin? What can we do to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003959

improve itong information

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003960

campaign so that they can avail of

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-003961

the mental health

programs of DOH?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003963

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003964

So, ang statistics po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003965

namin, ang usual age group

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003966

po nang nabanggit niyong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003967

crisis ng suicide.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003968

Ay 15 to 29.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003969

So, ang touchpoint po talaga ay dapat

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003970

eskwelahan. Kaya doon po sa settings

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003971

based in panel method, we're working with

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003972

YACAP.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003973

Isasama po natin yung mental health

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003974

at saka yung health promotion program.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003975

So, yung health promotion program po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003976

kasama po dyan yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003977

pag-training po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003978

ng ating mga mental health practitioner

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003979

yung MHGAP. Dahil

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003980

nakikita po namin parang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003981

far and in between yung pag-offer namin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003982

ng courses. So, sabi ko nga, bakit tayo

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003983

mag-engage ng other academic

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003984

institution to provide the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003985

certification program para mas marami po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003986

yung ating mga trained mental

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003987

health providers. Pangalwa po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003988

yung peer-to-peer program

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003989

kasi kalimitan nga po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003990

Ang nakakapag-saad po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003991

ng mga simptomas na medyo may depression

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003992

or suicidal intent

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003993

dun sa mga kaibigan nila. So, tuturoan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003994

din po natin yung kanyang mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003995

age group kung paano po matugunan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003996

yan. Pero main point po is

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003997

yung community-based program.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003998

Meron po tayong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-003999

kaakibat na mental health

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004000

packages po ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004001

YACAP. Dun po namin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004002

itutugma yung ating plano.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004003

So, PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004004

also will cover,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004005

I understand PhilHealth will be

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004006

covering some

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004007

expenses. Mag-gasto

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004008

sa ibang pasyente na nangailan ng

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004009

mental health services. So, which

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004010

packages will be covered

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004011

by PhilHealth?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004012

Chair, we have

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004013

existing mental health

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004014

package po. General

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004015

mental health service and specialist

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004016

mental health package. But

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004017

we've also seen that

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004018

since 2025,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004019

hindi po masyado malaki yung

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004020

utilization po nitong packages na to.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004021

So, for example, in 2025,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004022

mga 7,500 claims

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004023

lang ito. And this year, mga

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004024

651 claims pa lang.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004025

And so, part

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004026

of the reason would be

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004027

we need to increase the number of

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004028

providers.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004029

And yun yung sinabi po ni Sec. Edwin

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004030

na isa pong na-identified

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004031

is konti lang po yung nagtitrain

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004032

ng MHGAP. So, hindi kami maka-accredit.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004033

So, we're working with NCMH

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-004034

na po on this.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004035

Yung problema siguro, people just do not

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004036

know. Just like yung naging challenge

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004037

sa PhilHealth, sa ano natin

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004038

sa UHC noon, people are not aware of the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004039

packages. So, probably

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004040

our PCO,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004041

yung mga information

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004042

agencies, has to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004043

inform. Kailangan nilang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004044

i-double time. Kasi sayang naman, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004045

DOH, PhilHealth, is offering

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004046

mental health programs

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004047

that are not being availed. Sayang.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004048

Meron tayong mga free maintenance medicines

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004049

that are available

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004050

in selected

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004051

DOH

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004052

hospitals, I believe, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004053

So, yun po, siguro.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004054

Siguro, just before we end,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004055

probably can go on details

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004056

later on.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004057

Because it has been touched already,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004058

pagdating puro sa HVEP,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004059

nabanggit kasi si

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004060

Senator Laxon kasi, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004061

Hindi lang daw mabanggit.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004062

Pero, it's

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004063

sometimes, there are some legislators

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004064

or that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004065

kumbaga, insist

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004066

on

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004067

their program, kung ano po yung gusto

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004068

nila. So, pagdating sa HVEP,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004069

I agree that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004070

dapat ang DOH ang magpasya,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004071

kayo po ang dapat mag-identify at mag-prioritize

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004072

sa mga proyektong ponduhan based on the actual

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004073

health needs, service gaps,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004074

and readiness ng isang lugar, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004075

Kayo, anyway,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004076

part of, we understand that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004077

part of the, sabi nga, power of the purse,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004078

not all insertions or amendments

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004079

are bad, no? Pero meron namang,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004080

halimbawa, for example, as I mentioned,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004081

I go around the country,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004082

meron akong, I come across,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004083

sometimes I visit hospitals and

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004084

provinces who

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004085

ask for

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004086

assistance,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004087

para ma-improve yung facilities nila,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004088

siyempre, I would recommend,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004089

probably, I would recommend this to DOH,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004090

but it will be you,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004091

kayo po yung may alam dito, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004092

It will be subject, of course,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004093

to vetting and validation, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004094

Kailangan po kayo po magsasabi, kung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004095

kailangan talaga, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004096

Huwag kayo mag-alala,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004097

dito, we will, here in the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004098

Senate, we will make sure that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004099

we will follow what

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004100

the DOH would say, kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004101

kayo po ang eksperto rito.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004102

Huwag tayo sana mag-aya doon sa nangyayari

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004103

sa Pinoy County Center-Laxon

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004104

that there are some, halimbawa,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004105

tulad doon sa DPWH,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004106

may mga proyekto doon na hindi naman talaga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004107

kailangan. Wala sa master plan.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004108

Wala sa mga ano,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004109

para lang pagkakitaan,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004110

pinipilit, no? Eh, sana

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004111

hindi mangyayari dito yun.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004112

And I know for a fact that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004113

yung HFEP, kaya nga ho,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004114

hindi, it's not being

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004115

utilized, siguro kailangan, we have to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004116

improve the utilization

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004117

and yung inyo pong

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004118

HFEP.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004119

Because it really improves.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004120

I'm a witness

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004121

sa aking pag-iikot

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004122

that the DOH facilities, the hospitals

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004123

has improved a lot. And even

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004124

some provincial hospitals,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004125

yung po tinulungan ng HFEP,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004126

have improved a lot.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004127

So, be rest assured that we will

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004128

support you. We will recommend

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004129

but kayo pa rin po ang final

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004130

say. Kasi kayo po dapat

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004131

it's according to the programs, yung health

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004132

programs. Hindi yung dahil pinilit

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004133

namin, oh maglagay kayo dito ng ganito,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004134

ganito. Kasi kailangan yung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004135

sundin kami, hindi po ganon. So, it will be

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004136

you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004137

We will recommend, but

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004138

you will validate and you

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004139

will vet. Kayo po. So,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004140

yung po sinabi si Sector Lacson,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004141

as long as it's according

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004142

to your

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004150

happy to note

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004151

that yung pong mga

asr-004152

main

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004153

identified specialty centers,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004154

naging nabisita ko Northern Mindanao Medical Center,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004155

nag-hire an open heart surgery,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004156

Southern Philippines Medical Center,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004157

likewise. Tapos, sagulit nga ako

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004158

sa PJ Garcia, sa Nueva Ecija,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004159

na isa sa mapinunduhan natin noon.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004160

Nakita ko sa monitor,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004161

ongoing kidney transplantation,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004162

transplant, no? So,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004163

sa Visoto, ganun din.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004164

So, we are slowly

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004165

improving, pero ang gusto natin

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004166

ma-improve naman natin ngayon, sabi ko nga,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004167

yung mga, while the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004168

DOH and the Apex hospitals are now

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004169

well-funded and have been

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004170

improving the identified specialty

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004171

centers, we have to improve

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004172

also the local

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004173

government hospitals, no? Para yung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004174

primary and secondary care,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004175

mapaganda rin natin. Kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004176

ang nangyayari kasi ngayon,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004177

dahil maganda ang mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004178

DOH hospitals, nagsisiksikan

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004179

doon. Now, overwhelmed.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004180

Diba? Now, overwhelmed ang ating mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004181

hospital

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004182

facilities. Gali po ako

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004183

Cebu, nagsabi sa akin sa

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004184

Visoto Medical Center, in order for

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004185

a patient now to be able to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004186

to be accommodated,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004187

tatlong buwan daw.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004188

Ganong karami, ganong kahaba, kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004189

it caters to the whole Central Visaya.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004190

So, I think we really

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004191

have to improve also the provincial,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004192

and the local hospitals

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004193

para those cases

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004194

or yung mga surgeries na kaya

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004195

naman igawin dito sa

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004196

provincial level, local level,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004197

magawa na rito para hindi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004198

yung mga Apex and specialty

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004199

centers can concentrate

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004200

on the more complex or the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004201

yung mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004202

more complicated diseases. So, yun po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004203

Pero, but in the end,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004204

Sekmercado, kayo po ang masusunod

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004205

on what you think should

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004206

be funded. Hindi po dapat

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004207

kami, kasi kayo po ang may alam

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004208

kung ano ang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004209

linya nyo po yan. We recommend,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004210

we are legislators, syempre may

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004211

lumalapit sa amin,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004212

mga regional directors, mga provincial

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004213

governors asking for our help.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004214

But we will recommend

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004215

itong improvement ng

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004216

health facilities. Pero in the end,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004217

kayo po dapat ang masunod dito. And we have to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004218

be firm on this.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004219

Na hindi dapat

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004220

magamit na maayos ng tama

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004221

itong health facilities enhancement program.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004222

Kasi nga, sabihin ko na sa inyo,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004223

binagbabalakan na po ito

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004224

na bawasan. Kasi nga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004225

po yung utilization daw mababa.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004226

No? So,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004227

but I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004228

I'm not, I'm,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004229

I'm, I'm,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004230

I'm, I'm, I'm,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004231

agrisaksi po ako, no? Marami na improve

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004232

because of the HVAC. But you have to improve

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004233

lang siguro yung inyo pong

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004234

um,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004235

disbursement and utilization para po

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004236

yung sa implementation neto.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004237

So, briefly po, Sec. Marcado.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004238

Thank you,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004239

Mr. Chair. So, yung nga pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004240

nabanggit nyo, hindi po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004241

ano lang eh, level ng LGUs,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004242

pati po yung mga private sector hospitals

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004243

should also be involved para it's a whole of

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004244

society approach. Actually, nagumpisa

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004245

na po yan. Kaya yung mga meron po tayong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004246

mga nagtumugon na mga private hospitals

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004247

dito sa Maynila na nagtayo na

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004248

nung kanilang NBB beds.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004249

So, palalawakin po natin yan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004250

Nagumpisa na rin po kami

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004251

ng pilot. For example po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004252

pila sa PGH, 300 na

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004253

breast cancer. Bago po nila

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004254

matingnan, stage 3, stage 4 na yan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004255

So, ngayon po, eh, meron po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004256

nga, sila po, eh,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004257

nagdadala na ng hospital sa,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004258

pwede naman sigurong banggitin, ano, sa

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004259

Asian Hospital at saka sa

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004260

Cardinal Santos. At naibaba na po nila

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004261

yung level ng backlog. So, titingnan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004262

po natin yan. Titingnan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004263

din po natin yung capability nga ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004264

local government hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004265

At yun nga po yung ating popundahan ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004266

HVAC. Lalo na po din yung mga primary

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004267

cares na patapos na, priority natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004268

Pero as you said, according to the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004269

health facility enhancement

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004270

plan, hindi pwedeng kasing hindi

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004271

coordinated sa LGU dahil at the end

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004272

of the day, sila po ang mag-ooperate nyan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004273

Kailangan po meron tayong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004274

sustainability nitong ating sistema.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004275

So, we will already look at it as

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004276

a strategy for the whole

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004277

ecosystem and not just

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004278

siloed ecosystem po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004279

And likewise, eh, pagkakataon

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004280

natin ito, seka-merkado.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004281

No, sabi ko nga, ano to, eh,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004282

dream come true for UHC.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004283

No, Doc Bev is back.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004284

I'm here as chairman

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004285

of Confidential Finance. Senator Bongos

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004286

here. Senator, sila,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004287

Senator Riza, Senator Pia, mga healthcare

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004288

advocations, si Senator Gajalian.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004289

Now that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004290

healthcare will be

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004291

given primary

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004292

importance this time, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004293

And part of it is the improvement of the service,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004294

the establishment of the service delivery

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004295

network. No, na sabi ko

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004296

kanina, yung mga specialty hospitals,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004297

mga apex hospitals natin, are

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004298

funded, no? Are

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004299

well-funded, but we

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004300

have to also improve our primary and

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004301

secondary, no? So, nasa sa inyo po

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004302

yun. No, ang gusto ko sana, yung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004303

provincial hospitals and local

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004304

hospitals na wala namang capability.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004305

Alam ko, may devolution. I'm a

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004306

former local government official.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004307

Mahira po talaga. It's

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004308

mabigat, no? So, we really need to support

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004309

and help improve the facilities as well.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004310

Ang isip ko rin kasi, para

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004311

huma, di-congest din talaga, eh. So, that the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004312

specialty centers and the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004313

apex hospitals can concentrate on

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004314

the more complicated cases

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004315

and diseases. So, again,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004316

dapat, rekomendatory lang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004317

ang role ng politiko. Pag naririnig

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004318

namin kailangan, magre-recommend kami.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004319

Pero, again, the final

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004320

verification, final technical assessment

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004321

and prioritization will

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004322

still come from DOH, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004323

So, huwag kayong magpapatakot dun sa iba

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004324

na hostage

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004325

kayo. Kayo masusunod kasi kayong

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004326

expert dito, eh. We can recommend.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004327

But you have to put your foot

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004328

down because you're the experts, di ba? Hindi naman kami

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004329

doktor, hindi kami healthcare

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004330

practitioners, di ba? Ano bang malayin namin kung

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004331

tama ba yun o hindi? Pero

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004332

mag-recommend kasi

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004333

as part of our job as legislators

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004334

to recommend that it will be you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004335

Yung final verification

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004336

and assessment will be DOH.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004337

Okay? So, maganda lang. Magtulong-tulong

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004338

siguro sa'yo. Recommendation kami

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004339

then kayo pong mag-a-assess, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004340

So, yun lang po. You have

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004341

to improve our utility

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004342

station and the disbursement

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004343

para ho yung HVEP nyo hindi na

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004344

hindi mapag-initan at

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004345

magalaw at magamit

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004346

sa iba pa kasi I know

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004347

for a fact, saksi po ko na talaga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004348

nag-improve ang hospital facilities,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004349

no? But we'll discuss

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004350

this further later, no? After

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-004351

lunch, no? So, siguro we'll have a

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

kumpara last year.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004551

Pakiusap ko lang po to intensify your

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004552

information campaign,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004553

where to avail of the medicines,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004554

anong dapat nilang gawin pag

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004555

naglakad sila sa

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004556

Baha?

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004557

Yes po, in-intensify na po natin

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004558

ang info campaign po natin

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004559

at saka, yun nga po yung sa prophylaxis na

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004560

doxycycline po,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004561

ini-increase na po natin yung

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004562

distribution or access sites

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004563

kasi sinasabi,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004564

Kapag sila ay lumusong sa baha, pumunta na po sa ating pinakalamalapit na health center.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004565

Pero kung hindi po makapunta doon, meron din po ating mga yakap centers or clinics.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004566

Pupunta doon tapos bibigyan ng gamot doon sa gamot centers.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004567

Tapos meron iba po, kagaya sa NCR, meron na po silang distribution sites sa mga schools, sa mga churches, at saka sa mga malls.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004568

Kaya mas ma-access na po ng ating mga kababayan.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-004569

Pero ito po ay binibigyan ng ating mga health workers para mabigyan ng tamang instruction.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-004570

Salamat po. Malaking bagay po yun, Usec Gloria Balboa. Salamat, Sekretary Mercado.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004571

Thank you.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004572

Sir, isang manifestation. Kaya nga po yung pagtatahi ng mga programa namin, lalo na po ng PhilHealth, para po mabawasan din yung gastusin,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004573

dapat po nakatihi doon sa mga public health interventions.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004574

Una po dyan, malinaw po dapat yung waste control management natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004575

Kagaya po nung aming benepisyo para sa bakuna, sa anti-rabies.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004576

Ang laki po ng cost natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004577

Ang animal bite center po ay nasa top five na mga gastusin ng PhilHealth.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004578

Pero kung paggugulan po natin yung vaccination ng Department of Agriculture ng mga alagang hayop o mga stray dogs na pwede po natin itag,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004579

mas mabababa po yung gastusin namin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004580

So ganun po yung hinihiling natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004581

Sa ating mga legislators, naitahi po yung mga public health policy para po kung gusto natin maibaba yung out-of-pocket expense, malaking tulong po yun.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004582

Yun lang po.

and

Source

asr-004633

supporting

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004634

the appointment of Secretary Mercado

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004635

let me start by

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004636

talking about

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004637

an issue very

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004638

important to our people

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004639

itong mga expenses

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004640

nila sa Department of Health

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004641

na alam natin na napakahalaga

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004642

I was looking at the budget

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004643

overview 4.9%

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004644

of our total

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004645

budget would go to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004646

Department of Health

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004647

this is

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004648

1.1%

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004649

of our GDP

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004650

if I'm not mistaken

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004651

ang first question ko lang ho

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004652

how are we at par with other countries

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004653

Secretary when you talk about

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004654

the percentage of

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004655

the national budget

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004656

vis-a-vis its GDP

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004657

Mr. Chair

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004658

if we

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004659

look at total healthcare expenditure

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004660

or the total healthcare expenditure

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004661

which includes also the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004662

out-of-pocket the private healthcare

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004663

expenditures

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004664

we usual

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004665

nagre-range na mga 8 to 10%

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004666

in most developed countries

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004667

as a percentage of GDP

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004668

ngayon po ang 1.1% po is only

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004669

government and that

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004670

comprises 46% of

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004671

that healthcare spend

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004672

based on PSA data

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004673

so assuming pong sabihin nyo na

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004674

50% yon times 2

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004675

so mga 2.2, 2.5 medyo pa

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004676

still lower than the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004677

usual 8 to 10%

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004678

thank you

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004679

thank you for that

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004680

you talk about out-of-pocket expenses

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004681

in 2027 budget

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004682

tinitignan ko po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004683

it provides

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004684

129.96 billion

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004685

for the operations

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004686

of DOH retained hospitals

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004687

I was looking

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004688

at the 2026

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004689

comparing it to 2026

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004690

that's almost 2 billion

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004691

peso decrease

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004692

which is 131 billion

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004693

may we know

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004694

Mr. Chairman

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004695

yung specific improvements

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004696

na makikita ng ordinary

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004697

patient especially a poor patient

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004698

for instance yung magiging

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004699

experience nila this

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004700

2027 in terms of

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004701

yung lagi natin naririnig

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004702

waiting time, availability

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004703

of beds, medicines

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004704

diagnostics, specialists

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004705

and referrals

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004706

bumaba po siya

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004707

ng dalawang billion

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004708

but I don't know

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004709

what's the reason for this

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004710

and then every year

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004711

that you come here

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004712

ang buong departamento

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004713

ng kagawaran ng kalusugan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004714

ang lagi nating pinapromise

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004715

would be a better

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004716

a better service

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004717

better services for our people

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004718

so with this

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004719

I just wanted to understand

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004720

ano po yung magiging effect

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004721

nitong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004722

ating budget for 2027

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004723

Mr. Chair

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004724

yung pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004725

total out of pocket expenditure

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004726

last 2025

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004727

if you base it

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004728

versus

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004729

2024 data

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004730

ay bumaba po dahil

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004731

ang biggest component po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004732

is the increase in the field health

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004733

from before

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004734

2024 it's about

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004735

10 point

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004736

something percent

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004737

dun binapak

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004738

dun po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004739

kaya tumaas po ng 19 percent

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004740

kaya yun po yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004741

and with this

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004742

decrease of 2 billion

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004743

tinaas din yung field health

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004744

is that correct?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004745

para makita lang natin na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004746

may aasahan naman ng

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004747

kasi if your

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004748

audience right now

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004749

listening and monitoring

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004750

the budget deliberation

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004751

this budget briefing

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004752

yun ang sasabihin nila

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004753

di po ba

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004754

parang oh

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004755

paano naming ma

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004756

kikita na mas maganda

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004757

kung nabawasan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004758

so yung latest

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004759

baseline po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004760

and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004761

2027 targets

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004762

for key access

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004763

and quality indicators

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004764

by DOH

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004765

siguro yun ang gusto nating

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004766

marinig

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004767

at malaman natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004768

kung yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004769

sukatan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004770

ng performance

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004771

na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004772

nahahanapin natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004773

for this coming year

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004774

ay

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004775

yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-004776

ay appropriate din

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004777

so Mr. Chair

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004778

siguro po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004779

medyo i-breakdown natin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004780

i-de-aggregate natin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004781

yung targets po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004782

so yung una po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004783

yung financial

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004784

so yung financial nga po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004785

kung titignan po natin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004786

Mr. Chair

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004787

nung 2025

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004788

zero po yung budget

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004789

ng field health

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004790

for the GAA

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004791

so ang ginamit po dun talaga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004792

to lower down

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004793

the out-of-pocket spending

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004794

is yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004795

retained earnings po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004796

ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004797

field health

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004798

so yun nga po yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004799

going forward

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004800

in 2027

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004801

medyo

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004802

siguro si

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-004803

naman

Senator Joel Villanueva

nandun lang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005022

sa 12.3%

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005023

so

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005024

para maintindihan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005025

ng mga kababayan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005026

natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005027

sa isang daang piso

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005028

na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005029

billing

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005030

41.2%

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005031

lang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005032

yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005033

ah

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005034

ah

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005035

ah

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005047

42 o 41 pesos lang ang binabayaran ng isang pasyente sa 100 piso na billing.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005048

So 59 pesos, nandun yung tulong kasama na dyan yung PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005049

Dito naman sa meron po akong research din dito na sinasabi naman

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005050

sa simula ng taong 2026, 14% up to 15% ng kabuhang hospital bill

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005051

ang binabayaran ng PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005052

So sa 59 pesos na natipid nung pasyente dahil 41 pesos yung binayad niya,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005053

yung 59, 14%-15% doon ang PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005054

So yung iba galing sa probably tulong pinansyal ng ako indigent ka sa malasakit,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005055

nag-fall counter doon sa malasakit program, merong DSWD siguro, financial assistance doon sa LGUs, etc.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005056

So yung question ulit is, ang sasabihin ng tao is ito bang 14-15% lalaki ito by 2027?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005057

And how do we make sure na lalaki talaga po ito?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005058

Sige ma'am, thank you.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005059

But I'm sure before you answer, we wanted to recognize, the chair would recognize our health champion here in the Senate.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005060

Yes, before you answer, the chair would like to recognize the press of our Senator Pia Pagkaitana.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-005061

Thank you ma'am for joining us. Please proceed.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005062

Chair, siguro the way to answer your question po is,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005063

at least for the no-balance billing beds, both in public and private hospitals,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005064

which are around 60,000 beds, estimate 60,000 beds,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005065

doon po dapat ang goal namin ay wala po silang out-of-pocket payment.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005066

Siyempre, kapag napunta na po sila sa semi-private, private rooms,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005067

then the out-of-pocket payment,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005068

will hopefully be more predictable.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005069

So, ibig lang sabihin, hindi natin kaya i-cover yun lahat kasi mga amenities yun.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005070

Pero ang goal po namin is makapag-negotiate with the hospitals to say,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005071

baka sa semi-private, pag may ganitong package yung PhilHealth,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005072

additional 5,000, additional 10,000 siya.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005073

So, mas predictable instead of yung mabil-shock sila or magulat po sila.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005074

I'll go to that later, itong zero-balance billing.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005075

In a previous, I forgot where I heard about PhilHealth's target or desire

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005076

to raise the 14-15% doubling it.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005077

I don't know if I heard it from you, ma'am, actually,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005078

but I encountered this article na that's part of the goal,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005079

yung doblehin from 14-15 maging 25 to actually,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005080

actually, to 30%.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005081

And that's part noong pagpapalawak po noong funding natin sa universal healthcare law.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005082

Is that correct? Is that an accurate statement, ma'am?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005083

Yes, Chair.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005084

Yung increasing the PhilHealth share to as much as 30% of the total health expenditure.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005085

Ngayon po kasi nasa 19% siya.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005086

So, okay.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005087

That's a welcome development.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005088

But puntahan po natin yung sinasabi nyo,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005089

60,000 beds sa yung tinatarget ng zero-balance billing.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005090

In fact, when we heard about this,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005091

a lot of our colleagues here in the Senate were talking,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005092

saan ba talaga itong mga zero-balance billing?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005093

And every time I go around, may lalapit sa akin,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005094

walang makita saan ba itong nakalagay.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005095

Tapos, meron naman.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005096

But, you know, in fairness, I encountered someone here in Metro Manila,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005097

Metro Manila Hospital, na zero-balance po siya.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005098

It's just that parang the entire time na I was going around,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005099

ang narinig ko po ay dito lang sa Metro Manila.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005100

So, itong 60,000 beds, is it scattered around?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005101

At ilan po ito?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005102

And perhaps the most important part of the question is,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005103

ilan na po ba yung nag-benefit?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005104

Kasi, kung ilan lamang po, kasi ilan bang pasyente sa Pilipinas?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005105

Tapos, kasabihin natin na ilang porsyento ng pasyente yung nakaka-avail lang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005106

o makaka-avail lang nito.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005107

Kasi parang ang hirap naman din po na mapakinggan ito

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005108

every time nire-report natin na we are improving.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005109

Thank you, ma'am.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005110

Chair, maybe I'll start po with the breakdown.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005111

of the no-balance billing beds.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005112

And then, si Sec po can talk about the beneficiaries.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005113

So, sir, by law po, all of the public hospitals,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005114

except the GOCC hospitals, 90% of their beds are supposed to be for NBB.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005115

And then, 10% of private hospital beds are supposed to be NBB.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005116

So, parang with that breakdown po, at least for the government beds,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005117

a total of 59,790

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005118

beds are supposed to be NBB beds in the government.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005119

And then, for private, that's supposed to be 6,265 beds.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005120

So, yung total po dapat, meron tayong in-existence na no-balance billing beds

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005121

na 66,055 in the country.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005122

So, I guess, nag-umpisa po siya na nagtaas yung PhilHealth ng case rates

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005123

to hopefully cover the whole bill.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005124

And then, supplemented by...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005125

Okay. Yung 6,000, yun lang yung sa private?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005126

Yan po yung mandated nila.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005127

Because that's mandated.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005128

Yes, shared accommodation.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005129

And siguro, sir, we also would like to be very honest din naman na

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005130

to say na in theory, they are mandated to do it.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005131

But because for many years, hindi naman din, I guess, commensurate pa yung bayad.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005132

So, mahirap i-enforce.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005133

But now, a lot of the private hospitals,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005134

are actually already doing it.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005135

And we're really serious in partnering with them to make it happen.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005136

It's good news, no?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005137

There are 60,000 beds available.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005138

And these are patients na hindi po nangangailangan ng surgery.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005139

Kasi parang, yun yung gusto kong maintindihan.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005140

Ano yung pinaka-basic, ano lang po niya, no?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005141

Again, 60,000 is...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005142

I mean, compared to our denominator, medyo...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005143

Malayo yan.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005144

And I'm sure we wanted to increase it by...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005145

I mean, increase the target by next year.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005146

Sir, sige po, sekretary.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005147

Mr. Chair, to give context po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005148

ang total bed available po sa Pilipinas ay mga 120,000.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005149

So, yun po ay mix na ng DOH, LGU, at saka po ng mga private beds.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005150

Ang DOH beds po, nakasama yung regional dito sa Manila,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005151

at saka yung four GOCC hospitals,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005152

are about 3,000.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005153

32,400.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005154

At ang LGU po ay mga 21,600.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005155

So, ang sumatotal po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005156

kalahati ng bed capacity ng buong Pilipinas,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005157

ang aming tinatarget na maging NBB.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005158

So, ano po yun?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005159

Hindi naman po nangangahulugan na lahat po yan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005160

ang strategiya ay magdagdag ng bayad.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005161

Kasi inflationary po eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005162

Kahit kami nagdadagdag, nagtataas din.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005163

Yun po ay nature na talaga ng health economy.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005164

So, ano po dito, dapat yung strategic purchasing.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005165

So, ano po yung strategic purchasing?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005166

Dahil kami po yung pinakal-largest purchaser,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005167

pwede po kaming makipag-negotiate sa mga hospital.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005168

Kaya nga po ngayon, nag-i-engage na po yung hospital,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005169

ay dahil napababa na po natin yung turnaround time ng payment.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005170

Dati po, ayaw pumayag dahil, eh, anim na buwan bago kayo magbayad eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005171

Kaya maglalagay kami ng cost of money, di ho ba?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005172

Kahit nailagay ko yan sa banko, makumikita na ako ng interest.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005173

Kaysa nakabin-bin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005174

So, ngayon po na naka-15 days na kami,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005175

nag-i-enter na sila.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005176

Sige, pahayag na kami ng NOBI-NBB ngayon.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005177

Bukod dun sa tinaas natin yung coverage.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005178

Pero isa pa po dun sa aming pinag-iisipan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005179

ay yung upfront payment.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005180

Yun nga po yung global budget.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005181

Kasi hawak na po nung ating mga hospital, yung pera.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005182

So, which means, pwede po nilang gamitin for purchase

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005183

ng mga equipment, ng mga supplies,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005184

para ma-hedge din po nila yung pagtaas ng presyo.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005185

At bultuhan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005186

mas maibababa, maninegosyate po nilang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005187

ibaba yung presyo ng kanilang mga consumables.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005188

So, yun po yung mga statihiya.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005189

Kaya po, ang aming tinitingnan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005190

ay yung pong parang kagaya po ng One Hospital Command

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005191

nung kasagsagan ng COVID.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005192

Titingnan po namin,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005193

ano po yung sobra na nakapila sa mga government hospital.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005194

At kakausapin namin yung private,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005195

o yung 10% bed nyo,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005196

ipasok natin para ma-offload natin.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005197

At bukod dun sa first-liner ng PhilHealth,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005198

papasok namin ngayon.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005199

Yung MyPip.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005200

Kasi po, MyPip, dapat dun sa mga outliers eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005201

Kasi hindi naman po mako-cover

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005202

ng lahat ng case rates.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005203

Pag Z-Bend, dapat wala nang dagdag yan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005204

Kasi substantial na yung Z-Bend,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005205

1 million to 4 million eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005206

Pero yung mga outliers,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005207

dapat po, appendectomy simple,

dapat mga 30,000 in ICU.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005209

Kasi nagperitonitis,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005210

nagkaroon ng komplikasyon.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005211

Dun po papasok dapat yung MyPip.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005212

So, dapat po rules-based,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005213

supplemental ang MyPips

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005214

dun sa coverage po ng PhilHealth

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005215

para ma-achieve po natin yung NBB.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005216

Negotiated po yung rates

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005217

dun po sa mga hospital.

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005218

Thank you, Secretary.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005219

We appreciate the answer, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005220

I'll go to my next topic

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005221

unless, Mr. Chairman,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005222

you wanted to say something

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005223

about the zero billing.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005224

As I'm going to the next topic,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005225

or Senator Pia would like to...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005226

I'm leaving the zero billing

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005227

if you want to...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005228

I'll go to another topic.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005229

I'm sure...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005230

I'm sure...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005231

Because I was looking at you last time

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005232

we were together and talking about this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005233

Yes, okay.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005234

I'm sure you don't...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005235

Very quickly, just to add to the zero billing issue.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005236

So, for the 2026 budget,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005237

when I chaired the budget of PhilHealth,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005238

we included 1 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005239

Alam niyo yun?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005240

For pilot testing in the LGUs.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005241

And I just learned that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005242

that amount is going to be made...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005243

What happened as of August 25?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005244

Na-download na yung funds on August 25 lang.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005245

So, like two weeks ago.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005246

So, yung opportunity natin

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005247

to do the pilot testing

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005248

so that we could give a bigger amount this year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005249

It's kind of lost, no?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005250

But I will just assume that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005251

I mean, you have a lot of good faith.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005252

So, we have a lot of good faith in you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005253

So, I'll assume that from all the consultations

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005254

because the reason I was given

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005255

so I don't have to ask you now

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005256

is that it took time.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005257

I don't need to come up with the rules, etc.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005258

So, I'm assuming that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005259

during all those consultations,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005260

you learned a lot on how you want to implement this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005261

And so, it can be used

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005262

for this year's budget,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005263

additional budget for ZBB

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005264

because we were told

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005265

that there are now

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005266

how many LGUs?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005267

300?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005268

300 LGUs?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005269

300 LGUs, tama ba?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005270

300 new LGUs

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005271

that will now be able to offer ZBB.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005272

Tama.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005273

300.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005274

For total na 300 new LGUs.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005275

Where did we get that?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005276

Where did we get that?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005277

I'm joking.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005278

It was part of the presentation

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005279

of one of the economic managers.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005280

So, I said I would just follow up with you

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005281

because it's good news for our kababayans.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005282

But, yeah, maybe you can just add some details.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005285

Tama ba?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005286

Are you aware of this?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005287

Or sinabi lang nila yun?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005288

Ma'am, yung pong for 2027,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005289

there's an additional 19 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005290

Tama.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005291

19 billion.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005292

19 billion in the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005293

proposal NEP-1

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005294

for the PhilHealth

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005295

to cover

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005296

mostly LGU hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005297

Total of 368 LGU hospitals.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005298

So, basically, all the LGU hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005299

That's what it is.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005300

Yes po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005301

Right now po, our study,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005302

our beta showed

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005303

almost 85% na po yung support value

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005304

ng PhilHealth dito sa LGU hospitals.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005305

Sorry, what's that?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005306

Almost 80 to 85% na po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005307

ng total bill

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005308

ng mga LGU hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005309

ng mga LGU hospitals

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005310

are covered by PhilHealth.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005311

So, that's equivalent

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005312

to the support value

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005313

for each SOA.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005314

So, yung 15, 10, 15%,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005315

supposedly,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005316

is ito po yung magko-cover.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005317

But, I leave it to

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005318

PCO Bev

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005319

to determine how

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005320

the structure would be

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005321

na hindi nga po inflationary.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005322

So, dyan po pumapasok nga yung concept

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005323

ng global payment

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005324

para outright na

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005325

meron na tayong agreement

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005326

nung purchase ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005327

volume of service

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005328

based on certain criteria

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005329

like case mix,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005330

average length of stay,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005331

meron na pong ginagawang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005332

mga pag-aaral

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005333

on how to compel naman

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005334

the LGUs to be efficient.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005335

Kasi otherwise po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005336

kung magiging

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005337

inflationary rin yung impact,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005338

hindi rin po magbubunga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005339

ng talagang impact

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005340

ng ZBB.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-005341

Pero, ikaw na yung mag-aral na doon.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005342

Yes.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005343

The question to the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005344

general public is,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005345

when do we have to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005346

when they go now

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005347

to the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005348

the LGU hospital,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005349

may ZBB ba sila doon?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005350

Kasi yung impact

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005351

ng ZBB,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005368

ang ibig sabihin ng ZBB

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005369

para sa taong bayan

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005370

is zero balance nga.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005371

Yun lang ang tagtanong naman nila eh.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005372

Kasi,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005373

ulitin ko,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005374

natarantay yung mga mayors

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005375

nung na-announce sa SONA

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005376

last year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005377

Last year,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005378

not this year,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005379

last year na

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005380

ZBB na,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005381

zero balance billing

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005382

tapos hindi naman covered.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005383

Sinabi DOH hospitals lang.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005384

Yan,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005385

nalalat mo yung Dr. Edwin,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005386

di ba?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005387

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005388

then na-clarify na

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005389

DOH hospitals lang.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005390

O,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005391

tapos sabi namin

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005392

nung nag-budgeteering na kami,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005393

sabi ko,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005394

I will propose 1 billion

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005395

so you can pilot

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005396

in the LGUs

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005397

to see how

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005398

PhilHealth can use 1 billion

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005399

in a few pilot hospitals.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005400

You decide how many.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005401

Hindi kami nagdidikta.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005402

You want to pilot it in 5?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005403

Go ahead.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005404

You want to pilot it in 100?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005405

Go ahead.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005406

But unfortunately,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005407

you're not ready

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005408

to give us the results

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005409

because kakarelease lang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005410

ng pondo.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005411

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005412

but now,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005413

now,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005414

it was reported to us

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005415

during the DBCC

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005416

that you have now

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005417

19 billion

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005418

but not for ZBB alone.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005419

19 billion

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005420

is for

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005421

ZBB,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005422

mental health,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005423

diabetes,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005424

and other

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005425

severe malnutrition pa dyan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005426

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005427

halo-halo yan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005428

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005429

we wanted to know

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005430

how you're going to spread it out.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005431

If you need more time,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005432

wala namang problema.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005433

I know,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005434

when you have an answer,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005435

you give it right away.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005436

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005437

baka you need more time.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005438

But the people will want

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005439

to understand clearly

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005440

and communication

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005441

is a big part of our job

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005442

to ensure that people know

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005443

what they,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005444

di ba,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005445

pupunta ba sila doon

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005446

na maghahanda sila

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005447

ng pang out of pocket

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005448

o

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005449

ang pagkaintindi nila

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005450

is,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005451

bayad na lahat

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005452

para clear lang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005453

sa mga tao.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005454

We'll work out

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005455

the details po

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005456

in the next couple of weeks

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005457

kasi part of it is

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005458

really contracting

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005459

the hospitals

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005460

and having

asr-005461

clear agreements

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

with

even our government hospitals

on

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005465

what this money entails.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005466

If we're gonna give it

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005467

to them in advance,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005468

what can they guarantee also?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005469

Di ba kasi,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005470

alam nga nun magbayad tayo

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005471

tapos

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005472

wala pong

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005473

wala rin gamot

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005474

or something, right?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005475

We totally agree

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005476

and we support.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005477

I will speak on this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005478

On behalf of my colleagues here,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005479

we leave it up to you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005480

Sana wala rin mag-announce

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005481

sa Malacanang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005482

ng gano'n

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005483

kasi natataranta nga

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005484

yung mga

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005485

mayors

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005486

to deliver that service

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005487

and I'm sure pati yung

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005488

hospital administrator

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005489

natataranta din

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005490

kasi baka i-report nga

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005491

na covered na

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005492

ang 300 LGUs.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005493

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005494

ayusin natin yung

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005495

communications natin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005496

Baka you can request

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005497

Malacanang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005498

na kayo na lang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005499

ang mag-a-announce,

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005500

di ba?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005501

Para clear yung

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005502

I'm not saying na

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005503

huwag na natin

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005509

dagdagan yung mga

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005510

misinformation and problema.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005511

Kayo na mag-announce.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005512

And kami rin,

Thank you,

Senator Joel,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005522

Senator Pia

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005523

because I was here.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005524

I remember

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005525

your

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005526

interjection

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005527

and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005528

your

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005529

passion

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005530

to really push

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005531

for that

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005532

1 billion peso budget.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005533

And that's why

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005534

I asked kanina

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005535

if it is just for

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005536

Metro Manila

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005537

because

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005538

the only person

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005539

I encountered

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005540

na naka-avail

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005541

nung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005548

ay taga Metro Manila.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005549

Kaya akala ko

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005550

pang Metro Manila lang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005551

and it turned out

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005552

hindi pa na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005553

roll out

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005554

yung ano.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005555

So thank you,

Senator Joel Villanueva

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005566

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005567

in addition

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005568

for 2026,

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005570

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005571

na we added

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005572

3.3 billion

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005573

to the DOH

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005574

hospitals in Metro Manila.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005575

Baka that's what

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005576

you're referring to.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005577

3.3 added

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005578

to the DOH hospitals

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005579

and then

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005580

6 billion added

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005581

for DOH

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005582

regional hospitals.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005583

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005584

again,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005585

this is added, no?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005586

So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005587

I'm not even going to ask

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005588

what did you do

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005589

with this added

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005590

kasi I trust

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005591

that you know

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005592

what to do with it eh.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005593

But,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005594

just include it

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005599

in all of these hospitals

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005600

kasi meron na kayong

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005601

meron na kayong

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005602

these are your pilots.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005603

It may not be

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005604

the LGU pilots

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005605

but these are your

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005606

institutions that are

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005607

that already have

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005608

ZBB being rolled out

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005609

or should have been

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005610

rolled out.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-005611

Thank you.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005612

And last but not the least

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005613

on this particular topic,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005614

yung beneficiaries lang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005615

makuha po natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005616

kung ilan yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005617

beneficiaries

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005618

nitong ZBB.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005619

And,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005620

to follow na lang,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005621

to follow na lang.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005622

We're not gonna

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005623

belabor the issue.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005624

Again,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005625

Secretary Mercado

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005626

and

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005627

Ma'am Bev,

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005628

we trust the two of you.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005629

And this is a welcome

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005630

development that

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005631

we are asking questions

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005632

sa inyo.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005633

Let me go to my next issue.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005634

Yung kaugnay po ito

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005635

dun sa pagpapalawak

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005636

nitong gamot program

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005637

or the guaranteed

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005638

and accessible

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005639

medications

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005640

for outpatient treatment.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005647

Itong gamot program.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005648

Ano po ba yung ginagawa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005649

ng DOH

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005650

at PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005651

upang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005652

mat-check po natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005653

na magiging sapat

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005654

at accessible

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005655

itong mga gamot

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005656

at bagong servisyong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005657

isasama

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005658

sa programa?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005659

Kasi,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005660

for a poor patient,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005661

ang question lagi,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005662

are these benefits

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005663

actually available?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005664

Available ba siya

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005665

in or near

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005666

the community?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005667

Or does the patient

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005668

still have

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005669

need to travel

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005670

far?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005671

Yun yung experience

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005672

na nakukuha po namin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005673

at complaint na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005674

doon nga

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005675

pero magbabayad din kami

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005676

ng transportation

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005677

para doon sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005678

accredited provider

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005679

dahil limited daw po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005680

yung accredited provider.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005681

So, with this program,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005682

ano po yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005683

aasahan natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005684

especially for

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005685

2027?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005686

Or may update po ba tayo

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005687

sa number of providers

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005688

na lumawak na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005689

para naman

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005690

mabilis

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005691

maka-access

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005692

yung ating mga kababayan?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005693

Thank you.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005694

Chair, thank you po.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005695

So, for the gamot program,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005696

in 2025 po,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005697

kasi it was in a

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005698

pilot stage po,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005699

but in 2026,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005700

as of this August,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005701

we already have

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005702

2,984 providers.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005703

So, that would be

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005704

our pharmacies po.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005705

Of which,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005706

2,472 are

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005707

private

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005708

and 512

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005709

are government.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005710

And we've served

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005711

around 788,000

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005712

patients already.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005713

So, sir,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005714

clearly,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005715

3,000 pharmacies

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005716

is far less

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005717

than all the licensed

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005718

pharmacies in the country.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005719

So, malaki po yung

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005720

objective namin.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005721

Ang universe natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005722

sa pharmacy sa umay.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005723

Around 20,000.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005724

20,000?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005725

Yes.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005726

Thereabouts.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005727

So, clearly,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005728

marami pa po kaming

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005729

kailangan gawin.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005730

And then,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005731

clear din po sa amin

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005732

na for the medicines,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005733

may medicines po kasi

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005734

na nasa

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005735

yakap program.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005736

So, I think yun yung

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005737

maraming feedback

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005738

yung mga pasyente

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005739

na hindi nila nakukuha

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005740

yung gamot

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005741

sa yakap provider.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005742

So, may plans naman na po

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005743

in place na yung

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005744

21 medicines

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005745

ililipat na po

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005746

sa gamot.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005747

And then, the gamot

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005748

has also an expansion list

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005749

totaling to around

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005750

120 medicines

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005751

na from current

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005752

na 54.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005753

Oh, hindi 75,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005754

nakala kong current

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005755

is 75.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005756

Sir, yung 21 po

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005757

ay nasa yakap

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005758

tapos yung 54

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005759

nasa gamot.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005760

So, ililipat na lahat

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005761

sa gamot

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005762

para easier na

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005763

for the patients.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005764

And I guess we don't expect

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005765

a lot of the yakap providers

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005766

to really stock the meds

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-005767

in their clinics as well.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005768

Right now,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005769

the target

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005770

of increasing

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005771

the number of providers

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005772

kasi I wonder

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005773

are these providers

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005774

just in

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005775

in

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005776

in

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005777

in

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005778

in

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005779

in

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005780

I don't know

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005781

urban areas

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005782

kasi yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005783

yun yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005784

major

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005785

complaints

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005786

na nakukuha namin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005787

na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005788

in their areas

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005789

for example

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005790

6-8 barangays

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005791

sa paligid nila

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005792

wala ho

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005793

ni isang provider

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005794

so talagang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005795

they really have to go to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005796

poblasyon

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005797

or somewhere else

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005798

para lang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005799

maka-access

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005800

so yun lang po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005801

siguro

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005802

just the target

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005803

to increase

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005804

the number of providers

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005805

and at the same time

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005806

yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005807

kasi ang mas nakakak

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005808

nangangailangan nito

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005809

yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-005810

talagang wala

ang access

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

will be better

Source

bawasan po yung

so bigyan po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006168

yung ating mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

marami na pong

ng isang clinic

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006182

et cetera et cetera

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006183

so hindi lang po yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006184

career being a clinician

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006185

ang dapat tingnan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006186

ng ating mga

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Senator Joel Villanueva

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006220

senators here who's been championing

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006221

this particular issue,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006222

Senator Pia, Senator JV.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006223

When we started nga dun sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006224

Doktor Para sa Bayan, there are only

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006225

seven regions

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

ngayon 30 na, 30

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006232

College of Medicines. But

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006233

my question also, Mr.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006234

Secretary, is yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006235

deployment program natin for

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006236

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006238

siguro kahit isubmit na lang po, but

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006239

can you give us a bird's eye view

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006240

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

Senator Joel Villanueva

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006245

ilan yung i-deploy natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006246

to rural areas, unserved areas,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006247

and remote areas

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006248

para ma-improve po yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006249

public access to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006250

basic healthcare. I remember

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006251

five, six years

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006252

ago, five years ago, I remember

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006253

there are 209 municipalities

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006254

without a single doctor.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006255

That was the report

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006256

given to me during that time.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006257

Secretary?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006257-split-2

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006258

Actually po, wala nang bayan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006259

Ngayon, nawalang doktor. So, zero

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006260

na po. Lahat po ng ating mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006261

bayan kahit po doon sa mga GIDA areas.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006262

At hindi yan doktor kwak-kwak, ha?

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

Okay. Pumasa naman po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006264

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006265

Ang aming pong budget

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006266

for next year is 24,381

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006267

health professionals ang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006268

i-deploy natin. At

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006269

yun po ay...

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006269-split-2

Can I get the number

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006270

again?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006270-split-2

24... 24,381.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006271

24,381.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006272

Various cadres lang po yan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006273

Nurses, doctors,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006274

radtech, medtech.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006275

Ang nahihirapan po tayo yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006276

OT, PT, speech therapist.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006277

Going there, actually.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006278

I'm about to go there. That's

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006279

closest to my heart. But I'll go there later.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006280

Sige po.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006281

Pung 24,381

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006282

nurses, doctors...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006283

Nurses,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006284

doctors, PT, radtech,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006285

medical

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006286

technologist,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006287

yun pong

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006288

ano lang,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006289

sabi nga nung ibang nakausap

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006290

ng local government,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006291

executive. Tingnan nyo naman na magkaroon

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006292

din ang rotation. Kasi ang kontrata

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006293

daw minsan, kung naka-RHU

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006294

lang yung nurse, hindi pwedeng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006295

idalhin sa hospital. Sabi ko, tingnan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006296

ko po, kasi part din naman

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006297

ng training ng nurse

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006298

ay ma-expose din sa iba't-ibang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006299

aspeto ng healthcare system.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006300

So sabi ko po, para may

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006301

cross-training din in a way na

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006302

meron kang rotation sa hospital at saka

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006303

sa RHU. Para din po ma-expand

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006304

natin yung ating coverage.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006305

To expedite the process, siguro,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006306

pahingi na lang po ng report, yung target

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006307

at saka

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006308

siguro yung breakdown. Maganda per

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006309

region siguro, makita natin.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006310

If we can do per province, maganda

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006311

rin ako, sekretary, para

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006312

makabilis po ako. Siguro,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006313

babanggitin ko na, I will

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006314

jump dun sa sinasabi

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006315

nyo po, yung mga OT, PT,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006316

etc. Ako po yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006317

isang magulang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006318

na mayroong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006319

experience po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006320

dito. I remember

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006321

having to wait

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006322

for about

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006323

a year just to get

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006324

an appointment for a

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006325

There are only two doctors

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006326

well-known in this country, Dr.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006327

Reyes and Dr. Di Malanta.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006328

God knows how long you have to wait

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006329

for them to see you.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006330

Yung subsidy po ba ng National

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006331

Health Insurance?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006332

Program, including

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006333

yung Special Purpose Insurance

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006334

Coverage, which is

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006335

P74.449

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006336

billion pesos.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006337

Kabilang na po ba dito yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006338

magbe-beneficio yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006339

mga individuals na may

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006340

spectrum disorder

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006341

or other developmental

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006342

disabilities?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006343

Chair,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006344

yes po. Actually, in fact,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006345

2017 pa lang, may benefit

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006346

package na po yung PhilHealth.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006347

Doon. Unfortunately,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006348

in these many years,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006349

we only had

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006350

paid 482 claims on

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006351

this. And the reason

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006352

for that being one, we only have

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006353

five contracted facilities.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006354

So, we know very stringent yung rules

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006355

namin. So, in fact, I think

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006356

later this week, wala labas na po

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006357

yung policy namin to decouple

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006358

the accreditation

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006359

standards para mas marami pong makaparticipate.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006360

Second po

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006361

is to allow

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006362

the STOTPT

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006363

to do practice-based accreditation.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006364

Currently, our accreditation is

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006365

focused on facility-based.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006366

So, we know konti lang sila, no?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006367

And many of them have freestanding

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006368

clinics na hindi sila na-engage.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006369

So, we've also started discussing

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006370

with them already that should

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006371

all be addressed

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006372

before the year ends so we can engage

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006373

more of them. Last po is

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006374

klaro din po dun sa

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006375

mga developmental pediatricians

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006376

natin na they can't go to

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006377

every single school and community

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006378

to do screening. So, in

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006379

fact, the DevPed Society has already

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006380

piloted

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006381

a training module for

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006382

BHWs and

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006383

daycare center workers.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006384

So, sila po yung very first level

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006385

of screening. May training na rin po

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006386

na nakahanda for primary

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006387

care physicians and general

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006388

pediatricians bago po punta sa

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006389

kanila. So, they have

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006390

piloted this already in QC.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006391

So, our goal is to work with them

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006392

to scale this up kasi wala rin

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006393

mapupunta sa kanila kung walang magsiscreen

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006394

at the front line. So, definitely

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006395

sir, we're with you in this advocacy po.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006396

I don't actually know how

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006397

to start or how to begin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006398

in this particular topic.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006399

Having experienced

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006400

a lot of challenges

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006401

and sabi ko nga ho,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006402

may panggastos pa po kami.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006403

Yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006404

availability of OT,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006405

PTs, speech

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006406

therapies,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006407

grabe ho, sobrang hira po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006408

maghanap and I don't know

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006409

how else we can help.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006410

Here in the Senate,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006411

just recently, we passed

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006412

on third and final reading itong National

Senator Pia and Senator JB for

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006416

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006417

particular measure. We are only waiting

for the

counterpart measure

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006420

in the House.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006421

One of our amendments,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006422

actually, to the bill, is the

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006423

expansion of field health benefits for

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006424

individuals with the

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006425

ASD.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006426

Sana po,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006427

even without the law, right now

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006428

we can do something about this. Kasi

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006429

anlaki po ng

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006430

anlaki po ng

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006431

mga apektado dito.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006432

And anywhere you go in the country,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006433

especially if there are

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006434

parents who found out na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006435

the same situation,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006436

talagang lalapit

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006437

magsasabi.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006438

Yung number of therapy sessions

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006439

na covered ng field health

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006440

is only 90.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006441

That's unfortunate.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006442

90 sessions.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006443

I don't know if you can

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006444

ask a parent

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006445

if that is enough.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006446

Medyo masakit po.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006447

Kahit exempt na po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006448

ako dito, okay lang.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006449

Sana pataasin po.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006450

The beneficiaries also,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006451

received financial assistance

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006452

through the Department of Social Welfare

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006453

and Development sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006454

Project Aruga. And we're

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006455

pushing also DSWD to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006456

help yung families,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006457

especially those

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006458

with the

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006459

ASD.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006460

And then aside from previous 90

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006461

therapy sessions,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006462

ang original package po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006463

na covered

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006464

sa assessment cost is

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006465

ranging only from 3,000 to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006466

5,000 pesos.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006467

Again,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006468

this is also depending on the number

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006469

and type of healthcare

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006470

professionals involved.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006471

Yun nga pong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006472

healthcare professionals hindi pa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006473

available. Hindi ka na makakita.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006474

Tapos ganito pa ho. So parang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006475

I don't want to use the word

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006476

kasumpa-sumpa, pero

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006477

talagang mahirap po yung pinagdadaanan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006478

nila. So I hope we do

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006479

something about this.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006480

I can coordinate with

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006481

your office with regard

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006482

to this. And perhaps

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006483

again, even before the passage

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006484

of this measure,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006485

may magawa po tayo.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006486

Can I hear from you, ma'am?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006487

Yes, Mr. Chair. Actually,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006488

there's already a directive

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006489

as part of the fifth SONA of the

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006490

President to double the package rate

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006491

and the consultation number. So

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006492

we're just

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006493

finishing the staff work for this.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006494

So tuloy-tuloy po yung consultation.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006495

With all of the professional

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006496

societies. And really

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006497

hopefully before the year ends.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006498

We're committing that before the year ends,

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006499

the updated policy is actually

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006500

out po. And then

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006501

just making sure na

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006502

nakaredy din po yung supply side.

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006503

Kasi kung may package, tapos

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006504

wala din po yung providers, mahirap

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-006505

din po.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006505-split-2

Program natin, sir.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006506

Para mapalakas at

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006507

maparami po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006508

natin yung workforce ng

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006509

healthcare professionals and specialists.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006510

Dito po, para tugunan yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006511

pangangailangan ng mga persons

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006512

with the ASD at iba

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006513

pa hong developmental activities.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006514

Sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006515

26,035

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006516

HRH

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006517

deployments para sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006518

2027,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006519

ilan po ba dito yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006520

kanina binabanggit nyo po eh.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006521

At umamin na kayo na talagang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006522

kokonti po eh. I just wanted to find out

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006523

what programs we can

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006524

we can implement

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006525

para dumami po ito. Kasi

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006526

kahit po yung sa mga kakilala ko

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006527

I come from UST, nandito si

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006528

Tina, kasama ko from UST.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006529

Pag gumraduate po sila talagang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006530

they go abroad eh.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006531

Parang 90% because of

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006532

of course, obviously for

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006533

greener pasture, for

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006534

better benefits and all.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006535

Pero ano na po ito.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006536

It's a alarming

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006537

figures na yung nakikita natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006538

with regard to OT,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006539

with speech therapies.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006540

Sige po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006541

So,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006542

yun, ano po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006543

on the short term, kasi

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006544

medyo may lag time po tayo if we will

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006545

look at, syempre we're coordinating

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006546

with SHED, we're coordinating with

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006547

other

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006548

professional guilds.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006549

Kasi to produce one PT

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006550

OT would be 4 or 5 years.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006551

So, yung nga pong nabanggit

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006552

kanina, naglalabas na po kami

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006553

ng programa, for example, hanggang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006554

level ng BHW, hanggang level ng nurse,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006555

hanggang level ng general

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006556

pediatrician, working with

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006557

PCMC on developing

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006558

cadres of

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006559

at least yung primary diagnosis

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006560

po, magawa na.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006561

Para maumpisaan yung PT,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006562

maumpisaan yung ano,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006563

yun lang pong speech therapies.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006564

Talagang kailangan specialized po yun eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006565

Yun yung kailangan naming tingnan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006566

Pero at least yung initial diagnosis,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006567

magawa na yung mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006568

initial intervention,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006569

at makaroon din po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006570

ng referral system pataas.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006571

So, yun po yung kaya

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006572

it's not going to be a facility-based, it's going to be

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006573

more a practice-based

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006574

accreditation.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006575

And that's the problem

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006576

minsan, Secretary, kasi

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006577

yung studyante,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006578

bakit ko

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006579

titake yung course na yan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006580

kung ang track ko,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006581

wala rin facilities

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006582

na mapupuntahan?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006583

We need to motivate

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006584

these students

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006585

to take these courses

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006586

and all, kasi talagang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006587

damang-dama na po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006588

ngayon yung shortage, Secretary.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006589

Yes po, kaya nga po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006590

once the PhilHealth Board

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006591

approves the expanded benefit

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006592

package, na substantial po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006593

ata yung planong increase yung professional

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006594

fees. I think that will be a market

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006595

signal na, bah, viable pala

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006596

at maganda ang pasweldo.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006597

At pwede naman palang practice-based at hindi

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006598

kailang mag-setup ako ng clinic,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006599

naman napakamahal. Baka po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006600

mas marami na tayo maingan yung mag-PTOT po.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006601

Okay po, thank you. At aasahan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006602

ko po yan. And if there's

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006603

anything we can do here in the Senate

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006604

or kahit sa board

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006605

ninyo, kailangan nyo ng resource person,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006606

magbabolontir po ako.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006607

Last issue

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006608

na I wanted to raise,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006609

ito pong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006610

vacancies ng workforce

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006611

and JOS, EOS, ito

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006612

100 years ko

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006613

na po itong nire-raise lagi.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006614

But unfortunately,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006615

palaki pa rin po ng palaki

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006616

itong vacancies,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006617

job orders, contract of

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006618

service workers.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006619

Ang DOH po, meron pa rin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006620

pong 9,069

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006621

unfilled positions.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006622

9,069

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006623

unfilled positions.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006624

Ang equivalent po nito is

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006625

9.1%

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006626

of its total

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006627

authorized positions.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006628

Although, nag-decline na po,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006629

ito, kasi last year,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006630

binanggit ko po ito at

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006631

sasabihin ko po ulit, next year, babanggitin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006632

ko pa rin ito. Lahat to, lagi kong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006633

binabanggit to sa mga ayensya.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006634

Gusto kong malaman, bakit

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006635

9,000 pa rin ho? Because,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006636

looking at the data,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006637

9,027

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006638

vacancies

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006639

lang po.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006640

DOH OSEC.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006641

At mamaya, pupuntahan ko

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006642

naman yung JO and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006643

the contract of service.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006644

20,000 po ang nasa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006645

DOH.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006646

20,000. Pero ang unfilled

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006647

position is 9,069.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006648

So, wala bang nagko-qualify dito sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006649

9,069?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006650

And, of course, we wanted to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006651

understand, no? We wanted

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006652

to understand, one, in these unfilled

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006653

positions na 9,069,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006654

eh,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006655

where are

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006656

these concentrated?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006657

How long have they

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006658

uh, uh,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006659

remained unfilled?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006660

Ano ba yung mga

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006661

barriers preventing DOH

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006662

from filling up these

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006663

positions. Kahapon o, kami ni Senator

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006664

JV, we were conducting the

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006665

budget briefing ng

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006666

Commission on Audit. Ang problema

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006667

nila, yung item in itself,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006668

ang baba po nung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006669

pasweldo. So, talagang

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006670

hindi rin pala

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006671

mag-commensurate dun sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006672

hinahanap nilang mga auditors.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006673

In fact, ang attrition rate nila,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006674

napakataas, 40-something percent.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006675

Imagine, and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006676

ang naging

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006677

solution to address

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006678

that problem is to really

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006679

ask

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006680

for the exemption

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006681

sa salary standardization,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006682

yung Commission

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006683

on Audit.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006684

So,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006685

gusto natin maintindihan ito kasi

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006686

ang laki na po eh.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006687

Last year,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006688

one of ten

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006689

government positions

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006690

unfilled.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006691

So, nag-improve naman

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006692

po, siguro may nangyari sa ginagawa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006693

natin. Ngayon, one of thirteen

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006694

ang unfilled sa buong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006695

gobyerno. But, DOH,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006696

I just wanted to mention this.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006697

You're the second highest sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006698

job orders and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006699

contract of service headcount

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006700

sa lahat ng ahensya sa pamahalaan.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006701

Ang number one po ang DPWH.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006702

So, we wanted to find out,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006703

Secretary, please.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006704

Mr. Chair, if I can call

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006705

on Acting USEC

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006706

Mylene to explain po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006707

Ma'am, Ma'am Mylene.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006708

Yes, good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Senators.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006709

Yes, we do recognize that

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006710

we have to improve on our efforts

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006711

to improve our

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006712

filling up rate. Right now,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006713

as you've mentioned, Sir,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006714

the filled up rate for all

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006715

DOH plantilla positions

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006716

is 92%. And we only

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006717

have around unfilled positions

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006718

which is around

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006719

8%. But, true, Sir,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006720

we do

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006721

recognize that there are problems.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006722

Like, there are various

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006723

reasons for us not

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006724

filling these positions up, especially

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006725

in the hospitals. Number one,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006726

some of the positions in the

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006727

hospitals are really temporary in nature

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006728

because some of

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006729

these are used for fellowship and residency

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006730

training, which has a

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006731

temporary period of, which

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006732

is in a, they occupy these positions

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006733

during two-year,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006734

three-year periods. So,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006735

nababakanti ho yun palagi. So, we need to

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006736

refill because of the residency and

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006737

fellowship training. Others, as

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006738

mentioned, mahirap

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006739

kung, wala hong masyadong

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006740

takers because of those

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006741

special

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006742

cadres like speech therapies,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006743

development

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006744

specialists, etc.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006745

Yun, Sir. Yun yung mga ibang

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006746

reasons natin. But, we

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006747

did already

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006748

had

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006749

measures undertaken.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006750

We already have

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006751

helped the hospitals

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006752

improve their filling

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006753

up rate by forming

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006754

various selection

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006755

and promotion boards. And that

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006756

finally, some of the hospitals

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006757

have already more than

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006758

90% rate of filling

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006759

up. But, we're still working on

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006760

this.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006760-split-2

Can we get

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006761

something from DOH?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006762

Because I believe

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006763

DOH should distinguish

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006764

frontline clinical

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006765

vacancies from administrative

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006766

or, example, yung mga

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006767

obsolete positions

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006768

and identify

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006769

recruitment, compensation,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006770

qualification, deployment,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006771

or location

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006772

related

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006773

barriers. Para

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006774

maintindihan po natin and how we can help

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006775

ma'am. And then,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006776

again, you have 20,000

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006777

job orders,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006778

contract of service workers.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006779

Ibang nagko-qualify dito sa mga to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006780

talaga to fill up

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006781

this quite high,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006782

1,069 unfilled

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006783

positions. And OSEC

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006784

alone accounts

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006785

9,027

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006786

vacancies.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006787

Yes, sir. To the best possible extent,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006788

the ones who are

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006789

occupying job order contract

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006790

of service positions are already

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006791

taken in and are being prioritized

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006792

to fill up the permanent

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006793

plantilla positions. So, we've improved on that,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006794

sir.

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006795

And, yes,

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006796

we will still need to

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006797

improve our selection and

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006798

promotion process. And we're

Source

DOH Undersecretary Maylene M. Beltran

asr-006799

fast-tracking all of this, sir.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006800

Thank you. Give us an update na lang din, no?

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006801

Yung status and their target

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006802

on how you'll address this. Para

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006803

hindi na ako magtatagal.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006804

And I was looking at the National Health

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006805

Workforce Support System

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006806

which will receive

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006807

25.4 billion

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006808

in 2027. That's 8.7%

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006809

increase

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006810

from last year. So,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006811

yung additional workers natin,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006812

of course, we expect

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006813

to be deployed,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006814

especially dun sa mga underserved

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006815

areas.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006816

Gusto natin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006817

makita po yan.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006818

Hindi na po ako magtatagal.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006819

Sorry, marami akong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006820

nirace na. Although itong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006821

sa HFEP budget, gusto ko rin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006822

sanang maintindihan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006823

kasi may significant

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006824

reduction

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006825

sa HFEP.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006826

I just wanted to,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006827

to find out

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006828

ano yung maapektuhan dito,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006829

Secretary.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006830

Mr. Chair,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006831

before I go to the HFEP issue point,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006832

as regards the HRH or the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006833

Human Resource, Health Human

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006834

Resource, we're also

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006835

tasked by the DBM

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006836

to also look at the optimization

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006837

of our table of organizations.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006838

So, I will really look into,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006839

baka kailangan pong i-reclassify

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006840

yung ibang mga kadrese.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006841

Kaya po hindi na-fill up.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006842

And dahil nga po marami, pwede naman

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006843

mag-scrap and build eh. Pagsamahin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006844

para yung budget umabot and then

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006845

define. So, yun po yung pag-aaralan

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006846

po natin. And then going

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006847

to the HFEP,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006848

ang guidance po kasing

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006849

binigay po

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006850

during the budget preparation is

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006851

huwag nang mag-umpisa

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006852

ng mga bagong project, lalo po mga hospital

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006853

para po ang focus

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006854

ay tapusin yung mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006855

existing ongoing construction ng hospital.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006856

At pati po doon sa mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006857

LGU,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006858

RHU at Super Health Center.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006859

Ang ating pong focus ay tapusin

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006860

palagyan po ng gamit

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006861

yung mga completed

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006862

pero not functioning, yung partially

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006863

completed but functioning.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006864

So, yun nga po yung hiningi kanina ni

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006865

Sen...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006866

Yung ano po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006867

inventaryo ng lahat po,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006868

si Sengo po, at ng mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006869

primary care clinics.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006870

Kasi nga po ang focus natin,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006871

we're pivoting to primary care eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006872

Ang tingin po namin, yung primary care

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006873

tsaka yung mga district hospitals at tsaka

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006874

LG hospitals po ang bigyan ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006875

ano, baka po magtampo yung ating

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006876

mga GOCC hospitals dito. Pero yun

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006877

pong mga, nandoon na pong mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006878

DOH na nabigyan po ng

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006879

malulaking HFEP datihan.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006880

I think they already have the income stream coming from

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006881

PhilHealth eh, to continuously upgrade

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006882

their services through

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006883

acquisition of new equipment po.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-006884

So, yun po yung isang guidance pong binigay.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006885

Salamat po, Secretary, and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006886

pasensya na po kung babanggitin

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006887

kung bias ako dun sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006888

Bukawi Hospital, dahil

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006889

ipinangalan po yan sa aking kapatid

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006890

na Yumao, si Mayor

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006891

Johnny Villanueva,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006892

and yung sakripisyo din po

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006893

ng family namin to

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006894

donate

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006895

yung almost 2 hectares of prime

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006896

property na sa tapat

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006897

po ng Philippine Arena. I think

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006898

everyone knows about it, and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006899

we're hoping,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006900

and praying, na maging

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006901

worth it naman

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006902

yung sacrifices,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006903

especially nung kapatid ko doon.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006904

So, personal po sa akin yun.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006905

And I will no longer

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006906

ask any questions,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006907

Mr. Chairman, and

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006908

I know that come plenary

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006909

time, hindi rin ako makakatayo

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006910

dahil

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006911

support

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006912

group po ako ng aming

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006913

chairman dito sa finance. So, maraming

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006914

salamat, Secretary, maraming salamat sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006915

Philead, sa buong

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006916

DOH family. Maraming salamat po. Thank you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006917

Thank you, Senator

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006918

Villanueva. Anyway, that's

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006919

good to know, yung strategy

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006920

ng DOH

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006921

ngayon, to complete

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006922

yung pong mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006923

HFEP projects,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006924

and no more

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006925

new. Tapusin muna yung dapat

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006926

tapusin. Ganon din ang

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006927

strategy natin sa DPWH.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006928

Lagi sa flood control, lagi mainit.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006929

Pero yung mga no new project,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006930

pero yung mga uncompleted,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006931

tapusin.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006932

So, may mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006933

isasuggesting kami ngayon, may mga nakita ko

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006934

sa pag-ikot ko

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006935

that are, tama yung mga facilities

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006936

that are, may infrastructure

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006937

na, ready na, lalaman na

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006938

na lang eh, kaysa magtayo pa ng bago.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006939

So, especially those

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006940

in the areas that are

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006941

densely populated,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006942

maraming na magagamit. So, that's a good

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-006943

strategy.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006943-split-2

But, Mr. Chairman,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006944

just to point out also, before,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006945

before I leave the topic,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006946

yung 2025,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006947

2025 na HFEP

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006948

para po doon sa

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006949

hospital ho namin, na for later

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006950

release po yun, hanggang ngayon,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006951

hindi pa rin nare-release. Sana,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006952

sana alam ho

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006953

ng pamahalaan kung gaano ka

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006954

importante yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006955

healthcare ng ating mga

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006956

kababayan. And I wonder why,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006957

no, yung sa flood control, naiintindihan

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006958

ko po. Pero, yung sa flood

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006959

control din, natama naman yung project.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006960

Pinigil,

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006961

nag-suffer ho. Yung binanggit ko

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006962

kahapon, Mr. Chairman, na

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006963

apat na barangay

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006964

sa amin, doon po sa Hagunoy, doon po

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006965

sa Paumbong, kinakain na po ng

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006966

dagat yung lupa nila

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006967

at hindi na ho bahay yung problema nila.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006968

Ang problema nila, mabubura na sila sa mapa.

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006969

And ngayon, ito po, yung

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006970

HFEP from 2025

Source

Senator Joel Villanueva

asr-006971

Senator Joel Villanueva

Senator Joel Villanueva

DOH family, everyone.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006988

Mr. Chairman, I will

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006989

actually, I want to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006990

start with the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006991

additional budget,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006992

which of course is a happy

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006993

good information

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006994

for you, but it will take a minute to load

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006995

my numbers, so while we're doing

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006996

that, I'll ask

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006997

some follow-up questions or make some follow-up

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006998

comments on the topics that were already discussed.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-006999

So, on the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007000

importance

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007001

of having a sufficient

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007002

human health resource

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007003

supply,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007004

these are human beings, not supply,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007005

but in terms of, that's

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007006

the official term, human resource supply,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007007

pero mga tao naman to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007008

who, you know, want a brighter

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007009

future for themselves, whose

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007010

families aspire that they will

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007011

have successful careers.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007012

I'd like to think that our

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007013

Doktor Para sa Bayan

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007014

law has been successful

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007015

because, as mentioned earlier,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007016

from eight public

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007017

medical schools, we now have, actually,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007018

30, 32, it's

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007019

32, and that is good

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007020

news for us. It's not

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007021

easy because

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007022

you know more than me, but

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007023

it's not just putting up the physical

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007024

structure of a school, it's having the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007025

expertise, the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007026

doctors who will teach, and

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007027

then the support system

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007028

there, the equipment, and so on and so forth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007029

It's extremely successful

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007030

if you ask me, some more than others.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007031

So, let's always look for the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007032

the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007033

the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007034

best practices

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007035

that can be shared

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007036

with the others, because obviously some are more successful

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007037

than others. What I wanted to point

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007038

out, really, though, is the need

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007039

to also do this for the other

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007040

allied health professions.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007041

What I tried to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007042

do, because I handled the budget of

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007043

health for all these years,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007044

is to ask the state

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007045

universities, whose budget I also handled

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007046

for seven years, I think.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007047

It's only this year that I'm not handling it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007048

Last year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007049

Stopped handling it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007050

To identify, because we're always ready

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007051

to support, and I get

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007052

a very poor response.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007053

Very poor response.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007054

Like, parang ako na nga yung nagsasabing

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007055

mag-a-allocate tayo,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007056

and the response is so poor.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007057

I can submit to you later

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007058

of how many universities that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007059

should be capable of

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007060

offering more programs or expanding their

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007061

programs. Number one, ang in-expand lang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007062

is nursing. Normally, yun pa rin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007063

Kahit nabanggitin ko, lahat ng binanggit

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007064

natin, lahat ng

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007065

klaseng therapy. Occupational therapy,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007066

physical therapy,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007067

speech therapy, lahat yan,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007068

binanggit ko na. Pharmacists,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007069

radiotechs, lahat yan, wala pa rin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007070

And I'm not talking to those who are offering

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007071

liberal arts programs. I'm talking to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007072

colleges and universities that offer science

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007073

programs. So, where's the gap?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007074

I know we have to talk

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007075

to the professional associations,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007076

but I think

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007077

maybe, Secretary, you can form a

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007078

team, like a multi-sectoral

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007079

team and a multi-agency team

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007080

really look into this, you know, because

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007081

kausap ko na yung CHED,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007082

kausap ko na yun, pero the result is

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007083

so slow, so slow.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007084

And I even tell them, okay, hindi kayo ready ngayon, mag-ready

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007085

kayo next year, mag-ready kayo the next year, pero

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007086

ganun pa rin. Sobrang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007087

hindi naman, parang wala tayong

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007088

urgency in

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007089

addressing this issue.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007090

And then I go back to the reason,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007091

part of the reason why we have that issue. So,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007092

number one, we're really not, we're not

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007093

producing enough for our own

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007094

needs, but for those that we do produce,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007095

they have lucrative career opportunities

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007096

abroad, no? Alam na natin yan. That is not

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007097

new to any of us.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007098

If I go into the details, I'm wasting our time

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007099

because I'm preaching to the choir. But

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007100

what I want to point out, Secretary,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007101

and maybe under your leadership

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007102

it can be done,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007103

is the need to also

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007104

have a multi-agency

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007105

committee that looks

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007106

into the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007107

demand for

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007108

our human health.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007109

resource from other countries because we cannot prevent them from leaving so we keep on producing

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007110

so let's say we're successful we are already successful with more doctors and let's say and

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007111

even with the nurses we're very successful we just come up with more programs in the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007112

other allied health fields and they'll just be um invited to to work abroad recently in the news

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007113

i don't know how recent but i just asked my team to dig it up uh

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007114

that foreign foreign governments are actively recruiting filipino talents and of course it's

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007115

a source of pride because they like us but correct me if i'm wrong but in none of those

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007116

press releases did i hear any remorse that our own countrymen are losing very valuable

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007117

um

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007118

professionals who could be taking care of them we're not preventing them from leaving

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007119

government agencies involved in this direct to recognize at least that these are this is a loss

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007120

for our country do you understand what i'm saying secretary so do you think you can work with dmw

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007121

and the specific um the specific country that was they were referring to was saudi arabia request

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007122

for hundreds of staff nurses through a government to government hiring program another time

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007123

we've become made very big in japan since i became a senator there is an issue in japan because our

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007124

nurses want to go there but they are not treated like nurses though they are treated like assistant

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007125

nurses but they're qualified so on an individual basis if we are able to fight their rights that's

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007126

our job but as collectively we also want to see what's the effect on us and these countries will

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007127

need our health professionals more and more over the years because we have short-term health benefits

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007128

shortage talaga all over but we're not doing anything about it it's not that difficult to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007129

negotiate because we have the upper hand we have the supply that they need so maybe you can update

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007130

me secretary in in a few months no let's really and it's not your burden alone but somebody has

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007131

to take the lead and ikaw ang tatamaan because it is your hospitals it is your um it is everything

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007132

under you that that bears the the burden of of the migrating health workers can i just get a quick

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007133

reply yes mr chair and sentia uh nakita ko pong problema kaya hindi yung mabilis lumaganap yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007134

mga healthcare courses number one po shortage talaga ng mga professors kasi they require

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007135

phd masters which should be pero dahil nga po most of the pt medtech radtech go clinical abroad

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007136

konti po yung umakyat so there should be an incentive for those who will enter the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007137

teaching route if at all secondly nga po i was wondering if it could be a really a policy that

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007138

a recruitment should be a bilateral relations not an individual na re-raid po yung ating mga

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007139

hospital hindi naman natin na na na na na po polis tapos ang kapalit po immediate na pati

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007140

kasama may visa etc so i think it

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007141

should really be a bilateral negotiations with countries po uh and uh i will really look into

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007142

that and and discuss with the the other agencies that you mentioned that's what i've been pushing

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007143

for the bilateral agreements because they're they're horror stories where yung isang buong

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007144

department kinuha na lahat nung team nila doon from the head nurse to the to the and you have

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007145

some people are nodding their heads no so so we really have to look into this kasi yeah i'm

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007146

preaching to the choir so

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007147

um and then and then uh one of one of the fairly recent um uh success stories that we can we can

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007148

um emulate is uh the philippine and denmark exchange uh where they had a bilateral moa

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007149

wherein uh the the receipt of um our our professional health workers is in exchange

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007150

of education training and recruitment so um hindi ako nakikialam sa ating ano sa ating uh

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007151

kung ano yung mga requirements kayo naman hum bahala dyan no with prc but like if if they can

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007152

send back our uh for every whatever let's say for every 10 or for every 20 that you get ang kapalit

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007153

nun may babalik dito para makapag-aral on their expense ng master's degree tapos magtuturo ng

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007154

dalawang taon tapos sige kunin niyo ulit walang problema i think so many would be open to that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007155

because filipinos are so family oriented they also want to go back and and give back to their

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007156

to their hometown and see their family

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007157

without jeopardizing their career opportunities abroad so it's just really a question of

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007158

somebody making this their priority every program needs a champion and uh hindi ko na kaya mag

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007159

champion ng lahat ng health issues so maghanap na tayo ng ibang champion i will be very supportive

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007160

as many of our colleagues will be pero you know i i bring this up periodically and whenever there's

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007161

fresh leadership i bring it up again uh in the hope actually i think it's one of my first

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007162

committee reports when i became a senator in 2004

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007163

20 years my first committee report on the the shortage of uh human health care workers in the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007164

philippines and the the brain drain so i'll move on to another topic my next topic as i said is also

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007165

a follow-up on um issues uh taken up here sorry before i leave that no um on the on the human

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007166

health resource shortage um again i've taken this up also uh unfortunately uh the practice

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007167

of health care is like is has politics involved no so may mga amendments to the nursing act or

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007168

and other laws that um touch on the practice and they haven't moved forward and but one of the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007169

proposals has been um to have different kinds of professionals like a two-year associate degree

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007170

i remember 10 10 or more years ago meron tayong two-year degree pero ang purpose lang nun para

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007171

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

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007172

two years two-year degree dito wala naman daw plantilio position ng two years so parang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007173

what's the point we were just really creating it for for uh for a overseas job um but now you know

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007174

with continuing the continuing issue of many far-flung heirs not even having any health

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007175

practitioner we should seriously look into this again di ko pong hihimasukan ang qualification

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007176

and all that but even in the u.s they have associate nurse uh they have that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007177

that program, associate nurse two years.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007178

So it's something that we should consider.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007179

I mean, and we also have our ladderized program.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007180

No one has mentioned it here.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007181

The ladderized program allows a BHW with units

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007182

to have her experience credited to become a midwife

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007183

and then the midwife to a nurse,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007184

a nurse to a doctor and so on and so forth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007185

So there's so much we can do.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007186

If we can only put a person in charge

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007187

of these programs to really explore them.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007188

So that's it, Secretary.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007189

If you just tell me that you look into this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007190

In the U.S., they have the nurse practitioner

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007191

and the physician's assistant

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007192

and very well entrenched in their system.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007193

But we don't have that here.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007194

And I kind of heard that there's also resistance from doctors.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007195

But I mean, what are we going to do?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007196

So anyway, let's just put on record

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007197

because I'll just say that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007198

the Secretary is nodding.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007199

But, you know, I've just said you look into it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007200

I'll leave it up to you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007201

These are just ideas that I've had for many years.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007202

Mr. Chair, if I may react.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007203

Yes, that's what we said,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007204

task shifting that we need to look into.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007205

And I agree.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007206

There are cadres of nursing positions,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007207

for example, or medical

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007208

that doesn't need to be really a baccalaureate degree holder.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007209

But we just have to define the scope of,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007210

what they can do.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007211

I think that those are the reactions

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007212

coming from the professional associations.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007213

And like you said earlier,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007214

there's a lot of management, administrative work

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007215

that either those with health background can do

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007216

or we make it an enticing career

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007217

for those with non-health background.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007218

They could have IT background

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007219

and be very helpful in the running of a health facility.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007220

Anyway, I move on to the issue on health facilities,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007221

the one with HFET.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007222

Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007223

And I just want to put on record

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007224

because I was listening to the discussions earlier.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007225

I might have missed very minimally

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007226

when I had to step into a meeting,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007227

but otherwise I caught most of the discussion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007228

And one of the topics was the HFET,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007229

the health facilities.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007230

And I know the response that you gave, Secretary,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007231

was obviously, and was also mentioned now,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007232

we will focus on completion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007233

But to be fair,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007234

to all the previous,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007235

to all the previous administrations,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007236

including the hardworking USECs and department heads,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007237

for many years,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007238

what was given to me,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007239

not from the beginning,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007240

but the latter part,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007241

the last few years,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007242

because I chaired the committee,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007243

I would receive a list of categories

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007244

of funding that could be availed of,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007245

depending on what kind of,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007246

what kind of,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007247

what,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007248

how do I describe this?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007249

What level of investment has already been put into that LGU?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007250

So, for example,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007251

completed building.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007252

Because what happens is,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007253

whether you're a senator or a congressman,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007254

you'll get asked for equipment,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007255

and they don't have a building yet.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007256

So, in fairness,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007257

to your predecessors and the team that really supported it,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007258

they showed me that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007259

this equipment,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007260

you can give them equipment

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007261

because there's a building that's functional.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007262

So, we were able to tell those who would come to us

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007263

and tell them clearly that,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007264

Sen, why can't we get equipment?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007265

Because by the time LGU will be able to bid out that,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007266

or whatever,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007267

it will take a year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007268

So, that's why the equipment is there.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007269

There's already equipment there.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007270

You can give it as soon as you're building it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007271

So, we have to explain these things to them.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007272

To just share that,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007273

we don't really care,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007274

but that list has helped us

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007275

explain to our constituents from all over the country

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007276

how the system works.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007277

So, if it's implemented properly,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007278

it's okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007279

So, does that list still exist?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007280

Yes, ma'am.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007281

And we also have an omnibus requirement now

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007282

that we will not include

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007283

if the site conditions,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007284

what we've mentioned earlier.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007285

So, it's more structured.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007286

And it's like that.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007287

Because I also handled the budget of DepEd,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007288

it's also like that.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007289

Those who request a school,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007290

it's also not possible if it's not site-approved,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007291

with all the proper documentations

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007292

that the land owner has,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007293

either it's a long-term lease for you,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007294

or, I don't know, ownership,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007295

whatever the requirement is.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007296

So, that's good that we put that on record.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007297

Because that's in place.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007298

I'm not aware that...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007299

Well, because I attribute good faith.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007300

So, if that's followed,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007301

it should be fairly good.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007302

Should be.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007303

And then, on that note then,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007304

I also heard the discussion on super health centers.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007305

Taguig City has very successful super health centers.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007306

And the reason for that is Taguig City prioritizes healthcare.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007307

So, they pay for whatever is required

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007308

to keep that super health center up and running.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007309

I understand how other LGUs may have problems doing it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007310

So, I think the challenge that you have

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007311

is to be politically savvy enough

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007312

to put those super health centers...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007313

Because whenever we talk about banning

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007314

and prohibiting this,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007315

it's a little bit dangerous because

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007316

who's going to say that people don't need a health center

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007317

and a super health center?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007318

It's when it is haphazardly implemented

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007319

when we have a problem.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007320

So, your job includes being politically savvy enough

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007321

to say that LGUs mag-share kayo dyan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007322

Mag-share kayo dyan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007323

When it's being done, right?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007324

I just wanted to elicit that response.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007325

Secretary Mercado, from your end,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007326

because it's not as if it's not being done.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007327

And also, I also didn't hear it said,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007328

but I know it is a practice,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007329

that you enter into a MOA with these LGUs

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007330

saying that when we construct this facility for you,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007331

you will run it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007332

So, I think it's important that your team really examines

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007333

yung sinasabing hindi pinapatakbo.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007334

Ano ba nangyari doon?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007335

Wala bang usapan yon?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007336

Natalo ba yung kandidatong kausap nila?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007337

Kaya yung bago ayaw na?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007338

Because technically, that is an obligation

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007339

of the juridical entity, which is the city.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007340

So, that should be a continuing obligation.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007341

So, baka we can look into this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007342

Kasi ang sama lang pakinggan sa public.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007343

That's why I wanted to bring it up again.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007344

Nang masagot naman ninyo ng maayos.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007345

Kasi para namang wala kayong kapakipakialam.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007346

Which I know is not true.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007347

I know it's not true.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007348

So, number one, tama ba ako na MOA yan?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007349

Kasi I would always ask,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007350

and the obligations are very clear,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007351

that DOH will construct it

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007352

and then you will manage it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007353

And then, ito yung hindi ko alam.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007354

So, kindly respond in, you know,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007355

what is the practice now.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007356

But napag-usapan din yon,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007357

that there can be shared,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007358

LGUs can share a facility.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007359

In as much as,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007360

ang laki siguro ng isang probinsya,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007361

pero you choose to put it doon sa kanto

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007362

na malapit doon sa isang probinsya din,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007363

para province B can also share.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007364

Kahit na,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007365

pinipilit ni governor ng province A

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007366

na kailangan niya doon sa sentral,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007367

pero sa MOA kasi kailangan din natin asikasuin habang wala pa to,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007368

may ganoon naman siguro tayo,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007369

Mr. Secretary, di ba?

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007370

Madam, Mr. Chair,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007371

yun nga po yung gusto kong gawin eh.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007372

Meron na po talagang yung

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007373

how to analyze a healthcare provider network

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007374

in certain catchment population

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007375

that will now,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007376

parang

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007377

allocative efficiency,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007378

to determine

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007379

if there's already one CT scan, for example,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007380

and it can cover a certain geographic area,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007381

then you don't need to buy,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007382

to have another CT scan,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007383

right across town.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007384

So ang tawag po doon,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007385

before was Certificate of

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007386

Needs. And there's a scientific way

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007387

of determining if the

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007388

current supply already

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007389

can only

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007390

sustain one,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007391

it should not allow another

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007392

service of the same kind.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007393

Just so, we can put

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007394

another service that is not yet available

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007395

in a healthcare network.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007396

Maybe you have a heart, maybe the next

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007397

is a stroke, the next is cancer,

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007398

the next is a different

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007399

service. So, that's

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007400

what we're going to look at. And I need

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007401

help, Karen, from the legislators

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007402

to give us

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007403

the power to determine

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007404

if this is based on our analysis

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007405

that should be put.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007406

And if there are...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007407

You already have that power. I don't think

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007408

you have to ask us for that power.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007409

You already have that power.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007410

During the budget,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007411

perhaps

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007412

more in the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007413

House, because they are

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007414

hands-on with their constituents, then of course

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007415

they will lobby. There's nothing wrong

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007416

with them lobbying for the needs of their constituents.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007417

But you have that power.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007418

They may override you because

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007419

the Constitution allows

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007420

members of Congress to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007421

amend, but that's where

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007422

I think our chairman was saying that, at least

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007423

on our part, we're doing our best to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007424

support you because of the expertise. But I

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007425

need to also express that there's

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007426

expertise for the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007427

members of the House,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007428

for the mayors, for the needs of their constituents.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007429

So like I said, it's not easy,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007430

granted. But you have to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007431

exercise

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007432

a lot of...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007433

Well, the term I use is

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007434

be politically savvy.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007435

Here first, there later on.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007436

But anyway, I think

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007437

we're quite clear on that. Secretary,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007438

I just want to let you know that last year,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007439

DOH already...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007440

DOH mentioned that there were 300...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007441

They called it haunted health

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007442

facilities. And we want...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007443

We asked for a breakdown because

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007444

it's bad to hear that from the public.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007445

I don't want to just

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007446

news it. Such negative

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007447

news for our country. I don't want that.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007448

So I'm just letting you know that they said

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007449

that. Maybe you can come back

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007450

to this. You can ask the team

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007451

where that info came from.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007452

Basically, when they say haunted, there's no

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007453

equipment. But no equipment

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007454

haunted

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007455

in the sense that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007456

it's deserted. It's not being

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007457

used.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007458

Maybe you can look into

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007459

that. Because for them to say, for the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007460

Secretary to say that,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007461

I think it was the Secretary who said

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007462

that, the previous Secretary, maybe

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007463

it's a good thing. So maybe you can look into it

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007464

and then you can give us revised numbers.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007465

We will do.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007466

It's a good thing.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007467

Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007468

So are we ready with my

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007469

slide? Okay, that's my slide.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007470

Secretary, this is

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007471

for President

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007472

Bevho. It's good news for you in the sense

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007473

that I'm pretty sure you know

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007474

this. You've followed this discussion

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007475

for many years. But I presented

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007476

this to the DBCC, to the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007477

economic team. Because if I

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007478

just present this to you, you're limited

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007479

to what you already have, what was given to

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007480

you. You can't do anything. All you can do is

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007481

wishfully

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007482

express your

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007483

alignment with

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007484

our desire for you to have this.

asr-007485

But for the record, I will read

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007486

it. This is the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007487

unallocated syntax. So the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007488

syntax law

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007489

requires that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007490

the revenue from

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007491

the SYN products,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007492

a certain portion is earmarked for

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007493

field health. And so in

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007494

2023, the earmarked amount was

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007495

83.90 billion pesos.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007496

What appeared in the NEP

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007497

was 79. And in the

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007498

final version, which is called

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007499

Daga'a, 79 pa rin. So may kulang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007500

na 4.90 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007501

In 2024, 79

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007502

B was earmarked.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007503

80 B was provided

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007504

in the NEP. Only 40

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007505

in Daga'a. And so

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007506

the deficiency is 38.73

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007507

billion. In

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007508

2025, 69.81

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007509

billion was earmarked.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007510

In the NEP, it was still

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007511

less, 53.13 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007512

In Daga'a, it was

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007513

zero. So ang deficiency was

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007514

69.81 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007515

And then

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007516

in

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007517

2026, ito yung

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007518

napaglaban namin para sa inyo.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007519

Tama? Ito yun. Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007520

I'm so confused because every year

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007521

I've been doing this. So

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007522

in 2026, that was the year na hanggang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007523

last day ng extended, extended,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007524

extended bicameral conference

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007525

meetings namin, kinabol

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007526

namin yung amount na ito. And

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007527

therefore, zero.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007528

Success po tayo dyan. Walang utang

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007529

yan. So supposed to be nakukuha.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007530

Yung lahat yan. I'm not going to even ask

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007531

you how it was used because obviously you're

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007532

new, but

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007533

that amount should have been delivered

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007534

to you. Now for 2027,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007535

this is new.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007536

I asked

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007537

the economic managers

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007538

how much was the syntax

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007539

earmarked for PhilHealth

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007540

and they told me it was 75.2

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007541

billion. They gave me these figures.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007542

And then I asked

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007543

how much is in the NEP?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007544

And it's 55.4.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007545

So I asked, so therefore

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007546

and in deficiency, it's

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007547

19.78. So

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007548

they owe this to PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007549

They owe this to you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007550

I asked my team to refresh

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007551

my memory.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007552

They did not

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007553

disagree with me that by

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007554

law, this is owed to PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007555

But they did not say anything

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007556

further. So

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007557

Secretariat is the chairman

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007558

of PhilHealth

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007559

PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007560

And obviously,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007561

Doc Bev as the president,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007562

you have to fight for this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007563

Because these are funds that you're asking for.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007564

I take note that

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007565

earlier,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007566

President Bev said that the request

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007567

was 800 billion

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007568

for PhilHealth, right?

Source

PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Beverly Lorraine Ho

asr-007569

374

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007570

Where did the 800 come from?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007571

Realization of UHC.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007572

Yes, yes, yes. Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007573

Realization of UHC. Sorry, sorry. To be clear.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007574

Um,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007575

but then what was

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007576

allocated under the NEP is 74 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007577

And then later on. So if we go with that alone,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007578

there's a deficiency of 726 billion, more or less.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007579

And then you also gave another number.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007580

This is the minimum that you can work with.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007581

And that was 244 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007582

So 244 billion minus 74 billion, which was allocated,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007583

leaves you with 170 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007584

There.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007585

There it is.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007586

133. If you subtract that,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007587

it's almost covered.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007588

But if you even add

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007589

PCSO and PAGCOR,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007590

and that figure is 66.21 billion,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007591

the total of all of this

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007592

is 386 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007593

You still have 64 left over.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007594

So you're not at the minimum.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007595

I mean, how would you feel

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007596

if, you know,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007597

me as a mother, I told my kids,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007598

oh, okay, you have to be vaccinated.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007599

And then,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007600

aside from vaccination as an infant,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007601

of course, if you're sick,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007602

I have, I have budget here.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007603

So you can go to a doctor

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007604

and then if there's an emergency, et cetera,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007605

then say, but bare minimum lang tayo,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007606

dun lang tayo sa vaccination.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007607

It doesn't sound like health is being prioritized, right?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007608

So I would love for you to have more than your minimum.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007609

And I'm telling you, by law, you have it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007610

So by law, you have the right to fight for it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007611

And we will fight with you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007612

But the main job,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007613

our main job was done when we passed this law.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007614

And then when we do oversight,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007615

like in the budget,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007616

na paulit-ulit kaming parang sirang plaka.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007617

So you have to fight for it

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007618

because the Filipino people deserve this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007619

And it was allocated for health.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007620

It was not allocated for economic recovery.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007621

It was not allocated for some other important need.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007622

It was allocated for health.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007623

So this is not to diminish the importance of other concerns,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007624

but this was allocated for health.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007625

So there you have it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007626

So I leave those imaginary funds in your imagination.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007627

I move on.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007628

Anyway, quick response kasi we cannot record your nodding of your head.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007629

But I'm putting on record, you are nodding your head vigorously,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007630

both the Secretary of Health and the President of PhilHealth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007631

Do you want the funds?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007632

Yes or no?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007633

Yes.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007634

Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007635

Tanong ko sa lahat.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007636

Ang kasama nyo.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007637

Do you want the funds?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007638

Yes or no?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007639

Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007640

Thank you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007641

Likewise.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007642

Thank you for bringing that up, Senator Pia.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007643

I know that every year,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007644

you've been bringing this up with our DBCC.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007645

And these funds really belong to PhilHealth

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007646

and for the UAC implementation

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007647

and not for any other purpose.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007648

Talagang kanila yan eh.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007649

So we will just have to keep on

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007650

pushing them to the wall to release,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007651

kahit partial.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007652

Because hopefully,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007653

it can cover yung deficit na binagat kanin ni Doc Bev, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007654

Na about minimum,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007655

baka 200B.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007656

Kung hindi man 300, at least 200.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007657

Pero kung na rin, dapat mapush.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007658

So I'd like to thank Sen Pia for always bringing this topic up.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007659

Thank you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007660

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007661

Thank you for always supporting.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007662

Sama-sama naman tayo dito sa advocacy natin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007663

Um, last few points.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007664

Um, FDA, OIC, Atty. Tabakin,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007665

I note that you're there.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007666

I will address it to the Secretary, no?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007667

Because the FDA is still under the Department of Health.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007668

But obviously, there is an OIC

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007669

because it's your primary responsibility to handle it

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007670

sa dami nang nasa ilalim ng DOH, no?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007671

Are you familiar, Atty. Tabakin, with the vape epidemic?

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007672

I'm fairly familiar.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007673

I'm fairly familiar.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007674

I'm fairly familiar.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007675

I'm fairly familiar.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007676

Fairly familiar, Your Honour.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007677

Fairly.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007678

What do you know?

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007679

Fairly familiar.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007680

I've heard, um,

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007681

uh,

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007682

what I know, Your Honour, is that we have already, um,

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007683

uh, issued, uh,

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007684

or are in the process of, um, crafting a policy on,

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007685

on, uh, regulation of, uh, vape products, Your Honour.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007686

...

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007687

...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007688

I'll just give you some very basic statistics, Mr.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007689

Attorney, uh, Tabakin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007690

Uh, the e-cigarette and vaping prevalence in the country

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007691

among adolescents, uh, aged 10 to 19 years old,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007692

in 2015, it was 0.8%, not even 1%, engaged in vaping.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007693

...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007694

Not even 1%.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007695

In 2023, the number is staggering, 39.9%.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007696

40%, basically.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007697

By 2026, it will be higher.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007698

I'm not aware that any of our policies have made a significant impact in intervening.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007699

And I want to give you a very quick history, Atty. Tabakin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007700

You can do the research and fill in the gaps.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007701

But it's very simple.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007702

Vaping is the new product of the tobacco industry.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007703

In the 1960s, the tobacco industry used actors in white lab coats

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007704

to make it appear that certain kinds of cigarettes, including menthol cigarettes, were healthier.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007705

And they specifically targeted women.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007706

So this is well-documented.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007707

And there are a lot of balls there.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007708

So now that very same playlist is being used for vapes.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007709

In fact, we had to push so hard to ensure that we had policies that prevent doctors

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007710

from...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007711

advocating for vapes.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007712

Because the law now that we have, which is a very weakened law,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007713

our syntax law, again, sorry to lecture, but this is my baby.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007714

And 40% of our youth now is vaping.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007715

In the syntax law, which we passed, we said that we lowered the age of access to...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007716

Sorry, we increased the age of access to 21 years old.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007717

Because the brain is still developing.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007718

So we said, not even 18, we make it 21 years old.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007719

And then we made it very clear that the jurisdiction is with the FDA.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007720

And the third is we banned flavors.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007721

Because flavors makes it enticing to not just the youth, but even to adults.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007722

So allowed lang doon is menthol and then tobacco flavor.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007723

That's it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007724

Shortly after that, barely a year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007725

I'm asking for a year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007726

So the syntax law was passed in January 22, 2020, because we passed the bill,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007727

but it became a law in January.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007728

And then barely a year and a half later,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007729

they passed the vape law that overturned those very important provisions.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007730

Where did the country see it?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007731

The youth was protected.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007732

Their access was made 21 years old.

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007733

They were put under 18.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007734

It's embarrassing.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007735

For all the accomplishments, our hardworking diplomats do,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007736

WHO, they look up to the Philippines because we do so much good work in paper,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007737

in advocacy, and then here we are.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007738

We increased the age.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007739

We lowered the age to 18.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007740

And then the jurisdiction was transferred to DTI.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007741

And then the flavors, although it is couched in words that appear to be prohibitive of flavors,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007742

but the fact that you open the door, you open it a crack, you open it up,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007743

and now all kinds of flavors are available.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007744

And we try to work with DTI to prevent the sale of these products online,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007745

but they are prevalent online.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007746

Anyway, that's the history.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007747

What is the challenge we face now?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007748

DTI will say,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007749

that they have the jurisdiction,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007750

but if you look at the mandate of DTI,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007751

is there anything in DTI's mandate that says that they have any expertise in health?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007752

Any.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007753

There is none.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007754

So, the exact wording of the law,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007755

although to me it's not strong enough because I did not want DTI to have any jurisdiction,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007756

it says that it will work with FDA.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007757

And I will read the exact wording to you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007758

It says, the DTI, in consultation with FDA, shall set technical standards for safety, consistency, and quality of the products requiring registration.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007759

So, this is required of FDA.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007760

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007761

Because 2022 pa na pa sa yan, and then we are still working on this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007762

So, I want everybody to let that sink in.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007763

Diba, trabaho tayo ng trabaho, papa-increase natin yung support natin through ZBB or whatever.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007764

This has a pulmonary effect on the health of people, and there are documented cases of people dying.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007765

So, if you ask me, because the mandate of FDA and DOH is health, you can take a more proactive step.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007766

You can volunteer your services.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007767

Because every year, I ask them.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007768

Wala daw silang machine to test the FDA products.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007769

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007770

I pointed out that in the U.S., 55,000 flavors were disallowed in 2022.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007771

But guess what?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007772

Nung niresearch ko ulit, because I had another hearing lately, I was so shocked, and I'm asking my staff to pull it out.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007773

I was so shocked.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007774

That number like tripled.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007775

Like, hundreds of thousands of flavors in the U.S.A. were disallowed because these are chemicals that are put in the…

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007776

Yung kalaban mo sa sigarilyo, at least alam mo, tobacco.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007777

Alam mo na yun, yung ill effects ng tobacco.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007778

Ito, various chemicals because all the different flavors have different chemicals in it, and so on and so forth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007779

Dito sa Philippines, tinatanong ko, ilan ang naban natin?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007780

Ilan?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007781

Wala.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007782

So that's where we are, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007783

You have the number and the flavors.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007784

Anyway, I'll just put that on record, but you can easily look it up because I just looked it up.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007785

I was shocked that kala ko from 55,000, 60,000, no, it was like hundreds of thousands.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007786

Anyway, and then again, every year and every change of administration, the FDA tells me that they're developing their five-year development plan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007787

So this is needed to allow them to access their special fund.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007788

So do you know the status of this development plan, Attorney Tabakin?

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007789

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007790

We voted.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007791

Former Director General has already submitted it, Your Honor.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007792

To DPM?

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007793

Yes.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007794

Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007795

So do we know the status?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007796

Can you follow up?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007797

We will, Your Honor.

Source

FDA OIC Director General Atty. Franklin Anthony M. Tabaquin IV

asr-007798

We actually pretty much need the budgetary support.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007799

Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007800

So for the benefit of the public, more for the public, but I'm not sure, Secretary,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007801

we're up to date with this, but more for the public, we found out years ago when I chaired the Committee on Health,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007802

years, years ago, two decades ago, that for every, what do you call that, inspector?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007803

Inspector ba tawag doon?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007804

What do you call your, inspector ba?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007805

Those who go around checking the-

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007806

Inspectors.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007807

Inspectors.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007808

For every inspector that goes around, they're required to check the pharmacies, all the establishments.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007809

They're required to go around selling, whether it's pharmaceutical or cosmetics and so on and so forth.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007810

There's not enough for them to even go back in one year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007811

So if you've been visited this year, you should sell contraband because you might not be able to return it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007812

Of course, it's a crime, but that's a problem.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007813

And so the issue that we acknowledge was the need for a bigger budget to support this personnel.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007814

And then we were told that a five-year development plan is needed to be able to release the fund.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007815

I remember there was a director.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007816

We were at some point, maybe eight years ago, 10 years ago, na nagawa na rin niya to.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007817

So I just don't know kung natapos na yung five years na yon or never na-approve yung five years na yon.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007818

Hindi ko na masundan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007819

Pero it's essential.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007820

Anyway, it's already with DBM, Secretary, so you know.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007821

Because you need these people.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007822

Because as we support the access to lower medicines, we're also concerned that there would be,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007823

we, of course, would be concerned about the proliferation.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007824

Of fake medicines, substandard products.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007825

So we want to be sure that fully equipped ng FDA to deal with this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007826

Okay.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007827

Mr. Chair, if I may respond a bit.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007828

The outgoing DG endorsed to me, and I know there's a five-year plan, which includes the ISSP for their digitalization.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007829

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007830

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007831

You are needed outside of the halls of the Senate.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007832

Uh, I sponsored the Rheology Act.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007833

I opposed it in the beginning because it was my belief.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007834

I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007835

I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007836

I was not a big believer in the Rheology Act.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007837

I had a belief that before we start a new project, ayusin naman natin yung existing natin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007838

Our existing is RITM.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007839

Where's the head of RITM?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007840

Si Director Duran?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007841

Yeah.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007842

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007844

And I, I refuse to make it a relic of the past like, you know, the, the function is so important.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007848

So I'm so disappointed now.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007850

That has a decrease of 20 percent.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007852

Do you know what it is?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007853

Cause I don't know what that decrease is.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007854

Would, would you know off the top of your…

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007855

Would, would you know off the top of your…

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007856

Mr. Chair let's recognize Director Duran.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-007857

Yes, Director Duran, please answer the query of Senator Gaitan.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007858

Good afternoon, Senator Pia.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007859

Good afternoon, Director Duran from the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007860

We had a decrease in our MOOE and mostly on the Laboratory Research Division Fund.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007861

Let's take a moment and pause.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007862

Why?

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007863

I think all the hospitals had a decrease in their budget.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007864

On research?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007865

Really? I thought, Mr. Chairman, that this administration wants us to charge into the future.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007866

So why did we reduce research?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007867

Do you know why?

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007868

Senator Pia, I think the decrease in the budget was for all hospitals under the Department of Health,

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007869

but not only primarily.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007870

It was primarily for the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007871

So it was across the border of all the institutions.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007872

All on research or iba-iba?

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007873

Iba-iba po.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007874

Iba-iba po.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007875

But Mr. Chairman, they're primarily a research institution, tapos babawasan yung main function.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007876

Nangyari na nga yung ayoko mangyari.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007877

Di isusumpa ako ngayon na ba't ko pa sinuportahan yung virology na yan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007878

Can you submit to us what your needs are?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007879

What your priorities are?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007880

So if there's something we can do to help with your budget, we will do that.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007881

Thank you very much.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007882

Kasi yung commitment ko stands.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007883

You guys do a good job.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007884

Please let your team know.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007885

We respect what you do and we want to honor that work.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007886

Thank you very much, po.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007887

We're honored, po.

Source

RITM Director Atty. Ana Liza P. Hombrado-Duran

asr-007888

Thank you, po.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007889

And then, Mr. Chairman, I'll just put on record na lang kasi baka wala tayong time ngayon.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007890

I'm happy, Mr. Secretary, if you can just give me a report.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007891

Family planning, bumaba ng 11%.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007892

So di ko alam.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007893

Alam kung yung need has gone down.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007894

Yung utilization ba, bumaba.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007895

Dagdag ko na rin yung iba.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007896

Health emergency and preparedness, 37% down.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007897

Prevention and control of communicable diseases, 11% down.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007898

And then family health, immunization, nutrition, and responsible parenting, 11% down.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007899

So when I used to chair the committee, sometimes naman namu-move around lang naman yung budget.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007900

So it's not a cause for concern.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007901

But I don't have access to that right now.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007902

So if you have a quick response on anything, please put it on record.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007903

If you don't, then I don't mind if you just get back to me.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007904

We'll just get back to you, Madam Chair.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007905

But yung availability naman ng family planning and reproductive health supplies naman natin remains sa priority pa rin naman, ano?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007906

Okay.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007907

So sige, paki ano na lang.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007908

Let's look into the details of that.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007909

And then this might be my last point.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007910

But again, just for the hearing.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007911

But I do have other things I'd like to bring to your...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007912

...attention.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007913

Futures Thinking Office.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007914

For 2026, we gave a budget to DOH for the creation of a Futures Thinking Office.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007915

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007916

And I'm not talking about three months future.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007917

We're talking about the next generation.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007918

Two generations away.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007919

Two generations away.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007920

And I shared with the economic team that there are countries that prepare for seven generations ahead.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007921

And here we are, you know, not sure of certain budgets for the next year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007922

So I just want to be sure, Mr. Secretary, since you're new, that you're aware that we have this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007923

And this budget kasi, when we proposed it, was put in a line item that's like shared with another.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007924

Ano yung line item na yun?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007938

I haven't heard any.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007939

I may have missed it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007940

But I haven't heard what the department is doing in terms of AI.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007941

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007942

So during the pandemic, we had the opportunity to have as our resource persons via Zoom,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007943

mga health...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007944

And experts that were focused on what the future technology can provide for us.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007945

So that's something that your futures office...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007946

Malit lang yung budget na yan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007947

But that's the whole point.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007948

That they do the research.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007949

They align with...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007950

If they have to bring in experts.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007951

If they have to go out and attend conferences that would expose them to this.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007952

Kailangan natin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007953

Kasi kayo...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007954

You will...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007955

I'm trying to look for a better word.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007956

Because the word that is in my mind.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007957

You will drown with the day-to-day work of DOH.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007958

And I don't want you to drown.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007959

I want you to swim like an efficient Olympic swimmer.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007960

Instead of drowning.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007961

So that's why I want to equip you with the experts or the offices that you need to function, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007962

Mr. Chair, yeah.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007963

That's well appreciated.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007964

And I think...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007965

I think we really need to have a separate group really thinking of the future.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007966

Because we are...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007967

We are...

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-007968

Pabaksin kami on the day-to-day.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007969

And that is the purpose of the futures thinking office.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007970

Yun lang yung gagawin niya.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007971

Isipin yung future.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007972

So while you're thinking na,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007973

Eto, I have to deal with leptospirosis.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007974

But somebody is going to tell you,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007975

Mr. Secretary, 10 years from now, ito lang.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007976

In fact, 10 years is not even considered futures thinking.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007977

Talagang the next generation.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007978

Two generations away.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007979

So that's where you make...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007980

Decisions between plastic and organic.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007981

You know, the long-term investments in what we eat, what we put in our mouth, what we put on our skin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007982

I think this is my last concern.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007983

Alam to ng mga colleagues namin.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007984

Pero hindi ko pa ito na banggit sa iyo, Secretary.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007985

Ah!

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007986

The Senate recently passed the anti-hospital detention bill.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007987

And a provision is there.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007988

On my...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007989

MyFIP covering the balance with every hospital.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007990

You may want to look into what is that number for MyFIP to cover that.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007991

Because MyFIP is highly controversial.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007992

Some people want legislators to include it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007993

Some people don't want legislators to include it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007994

So you have to guide us.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007995

Because if that law passes, it passed us.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007996

Pero it's a matter of time.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007997

I think the House has a version.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007998

Yeah.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-007999

So it might become...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008000

Baka mag-buy-cum lang sila.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008001

If that provision stays, may impact yan sa inyo.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008002

So you'll have to tell us ano yung MyFIP amount na kailangan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008003

Kasi ang hirap nagtatalo kami.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008004

Tapos meron tayong hindi na consider na pagkukuhaan ng MyFIP na by law.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008005

Pinayagan natin, nilagay doon.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008006

It was an amendment made.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008007

So nandun yun.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008008

Not by me.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008009

But it's an amendment that passed in the Senate.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008010

Okay?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008011

And then finally...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008012

Final point on MyFIP.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008013

In a utopian world, walang MyFIP sana.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008014

So even me as a senator, it's added work for my staff to have to receive these requests

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008015

and then to have to forward it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008016

But we try our best to help you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008017

Because hindi namin ipo-forward yung mukhang kalukuhan din.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008018

Kasi ayaw naman natin yan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008019

So tinatry din namin ma-filter yun bago ma-recommend sa inyo.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008020

Well, for the information of the public, which I've said in another venue,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008021

but my colleagues know,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008022

me, my brother...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008023

And I think all the members of the minority are now, our recommendations are no longer accepted by DOH.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008024

So that to me is a very politicized step taken by who, I don't know.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008025

I'm letting you know because my question is why?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008026

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?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008027

I don't even ask them to go to me, but they will go to me.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008028

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008029

And then now, we can't recommend anymore.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008030

Has anything changed? Has anything changed in our ability to recommend?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008031

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008032

We don't recommend it to reduce your burden.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008033

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008034

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008035

Did I say anything here that is unfair to the administration?

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008036

I don't think so.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008037

I mentioned the policies I'm concerned about regardless of who is sitting there.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008038

I don't make any personal attacks.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008039

So, it's embarrassing for our constituents to ask for help from us.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008040

So, I'm letting you know that that is our situation.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008041

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008042

I do have more, but I will deliver it to you individually.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008043

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008044

One is to monitor their accomplishments for the year.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008045

And then,

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008046

to tell them what their biggest need is because we tasked them also with developing more specialty centers in the regions.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008047

So, I wanted to hear from that.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008048

I do have another appointment.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008049

I won't be able to.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008050

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.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008051

So, thank you, everyone, for all your hard work.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008052

Thank you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008053

Thank you, Senator Pia, probably before you go.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008054

Maybe that's a concern for the GOCC specialty hospitals.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008055

You have subsidy reductions.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008056

Probably, we can ask the four to quickly, the four specialty hospitals that received lower 2027 NEP appropriations than their 2026 levels.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008057

Of course, Lung Center, NKTI, PCMC, and Philippine Heart Center.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008058

Okay.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008059

So,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008060

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?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008061

Maybe, we can start with, who can start?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008062

NKTI, Executive Director, Ose Dante Dator.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008063

Sir, you have the floor.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008064

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.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008065

Good afternoon, Mr. Chair, Your Honor, Senator Pia.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008066

Good afternoon.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008067

Actually, the subsidy that was given to NKTI for 2027.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008068

If you will look.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008069

At the actual comparison of 2026, 2027, there was an addition, and this was meant for special projects.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008070

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.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008071

11 months ago.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008072

We have already given 72,015 patients to the tune of 1.585 billion.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008073

So, that addition in 2026 was not included anymore in 2027.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008074

And therefore, the actual subsidy that will be given to us is enough to cover the remaining QFS for the subsequent year.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008075

Okay.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008076

So, that's the first part.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008077

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.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008078

And this, for the information of everybody, this was the recently announced legacy building, which will complete the phase four of the 2027.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008079

Which is 300 hemodialysis beds, which are now in the phase three.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008080

The phase four request will be the completion, which will be now up to the corporate operating budget of NKTI.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008081

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%.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008082

Okay.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008083

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.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008084

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.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008085

And therefore, those are the requests, an additional 300 for our doctor's clinic and conversion of doctor's clinic, another 250 million.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008086

But that is not in the submitted national expenditure program.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008087

So this is...

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008088

Where the position of the NKTI is for the 2027 budget.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008089

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008090

Okay, please put that in writing for at least what you mentioned also.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008091

That you would...

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008092

In order for us to be able to justify, in case we will make the necessary augmentation,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008093

the implementation of zero-balance billing and accommodation for PhilHealth and what else?

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008094

Addiction.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008095

Additional patients for the...

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008096

Additional patients.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008097

Hemodialysis, which is mostly outpatient.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008098

But...

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008099

For the fact, you are always at 110% capacity, right?

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008100

Sir, that is why it is always said that our emergency room is full.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008101

Even without the leptospirosis, for which we have been accommodating all the complicated ones, the severe ones,

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008102

90% of the leptospirosis patient goes to the NKTI.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008103

But on any given day, year in, year out,

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008104

majority of the patients in the emergency room are patients who had complications

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008105

undergoing hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplant, all across the NCR.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008106

We will put that in writing, Your Honor.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008107

By next week, it will be submitted to your officer.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008108

Okay, thank you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008109

Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008110

Yes, Mr. Dekitan.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008111

I just want to say, because you mentioned the decrease in their budget.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008112

That's from NEP to GAAP.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008113

But their NEP to NEP is...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008114

The reason why their GAAP is higher is because we are the ones who paid for it.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008115

You know that.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008116

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008117

You're welcome.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008118

NKTI, we increased your budget by 1.9 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008119

Hospital services, 1 billion.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008120

Construction of outpatient services, 500 million.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008121

Procurement of linear accelerator, 400 million.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008122

So, 1.9.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008123

And all the other specialty hospitals, we did the same for you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008124

So, I hope, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008125

We did this this year because last year, I did this with the support of the Chairman of the Committee on Finance.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008126

So, for me, even if it's just a little bit, we can give them.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008127

And the 1 billion was...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008128

Oh, yeah.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008129

All the...

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008130

No, we gave 1 billion for the specialty hospitals.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008131

1 billion for the specialty hospitals.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008132

Yeah.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008133

There's ZBB also in the specialty hospitals because we know it's expensive for you.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008134

The services that you're giving.

Source

Senator Pia S. Cayetano

asr-008135

Thank you.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008136

Maybe.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008137

I just want to say, sir, for those of you who will give requests in order of priority

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008138

because of our very limited fiscal space.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008139

Medyo mababa ang ano natin ngayon, eh,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008140

Fiscal space.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008141

So yun na lang talagang what you can...

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008142

Yun talagang priority na kailangang-kailangan hanggang doon sa mga puwedeng next year na or that can be held in abeyance.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008143

So yun po,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008144

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.

Source

NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator

asr-008144-split-2

Yes, sir, thank you po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008144-split-3

Okay, next will be from Lung Center of the Philippines, Dr. Benedicto.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008146

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008147

On behalf of Lang Center of the Philippines.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008148

So, last year, we are quite thankful because you did give us some amount for a locally funded project.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008149

And I would like to update this committee as well.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008150

We are able right now to purchase within the quarter our new Linux machine.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008151

Our Linux machine serves around 40 to 80 patients per day.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008152

So, we hope to have that Linux machine really functional, operational within the quarter.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008153

We will also get our robotics machine because of the locally funded project from the Senate as well.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008154

And, of course, aside from that,

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008155

we also have biobanking, our instruments and scopes for biopsy, special procedures.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008156

We were able to serve both 35,000 patients, both outpatient and inpatients last year.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008157

And then, subsequently, our smoking cessation program.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008158

You were able to fund and really infuse some amount to the tune of 10 million pesos.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008159

So, all of that is translated.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008160

To a significant number of both vape and smoking patients who we were able to assist to.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008161

So, you mentioned, Rinpo, your honors, that for this year, yes, our gas price has dropped a little.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008162

It was reflected because the 1.02B came from the locally funded projects that we consumed.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008163

So, you're right in saying that in terms of gas, it's not going to change much.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008164

So, but right now, our main aim is to make our processes more efficient.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008165

Last year, we were able to also strengthen our patient navigation system.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008166

And therefore, coordinated transfers were made possible as well as using dashboard for all the tracking that's needed.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008167

In terms of priority for this year, we were there to appeal.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008168

Na nag-aapela lang kung puwedeng mapagbigyan po yung aming

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008170

Because right now, dahil nasunog po yung Lung Center back in 1998,

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008171

so yung 500 plus bed capacity namin naging 237 na lang.

Source

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008172

And we see it that we really want to augment po yung additional beds,

Lung Center OIC Executive Director Dr. Jubert P. Benedicto

asr-008173

providing po yung additional services.

Source

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.

of this year.

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008248

For the locally

asr-008250

methi program we already have done almost uh renovated our networks and approve it we are

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008251

now uh having the project nexus wherein we will be having live of our emr of our his and our pm

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008252

erp by uh more or less march in 2026 and then our procurement for equipment of 200 it's already uh

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008253

already almost uh i think um we are just um uh the disbursements already very high

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008254

and then the escola for 2020 for 2027 our proposed budget was 4.9 billion

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008255

but the nep was given only at 1.8 billion which is 48 percent less from our proposal

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008256

so our appeal for

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008257

2027 is 2.4 billion so our appeal include uh the mooe of 1.1 billion equipment outlay of

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008258

448 million capital outlay for infrastructure of 251 million and our second phase of methi which

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008259

is 552 million so for the mooe this will include 924 million for the inpatients for the zero balance

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008260

billing

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008261

uh 200 million for the 13 outpatient health packages and 5 million for our mental health

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008262

program for employees which includes the creative workplace and the work life balance program

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008263

so for our health packages we have a total of 19 which includes the neurodev program and then

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008264

cancer and other outpatient clinics which include our antepartum our outpatient packages like tb fever

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008265

and acute illnesses and the child protection unit then we have the different services like also sleep

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008266

laboratory and we have the home ventilation program wherein we have these patients who are

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008267

not capable of breathing without the ventilators we have to send the ventilator with them at home

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008268

for the health safety program for employees we have a creative place workshop for our employees

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008269

For the medical outlay, for the capital outlay for our medical equipment, we have an upgrade of new equipment. 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

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008277

the existing equipment in addition to the 2026 budget. We will be acquiring additional storage and we will be

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008278

equipment in addition to the 2026 budget. We'll be acquiring additional storage and we will be

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008279

optimizing the business processes. We will be using that to interlink our 500 capacity bed,

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008280

which will include our new 360 bed capacity and the new brain and spine center and the institute

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008281

of cancer and blood center. And that's it. I want also to report for our ZBB that we used last year,

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008282

we were able to assist 5,600 patients. And from before 2020, 2024, so that was in 2024. I mean,

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008283

before 2024, our out-of-pocket was around 36%.

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008284

But starting 2024 to 2025, because of that budget, we were able to come up to a zero

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008285

out-of-pocket for all our indigent patients. And the sources came from our MOOE, which is a 29 to

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008286

last year, 37%. That was the insertion that has given to us and the medical assistance of 50%

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008287

and from the field health of 13%. So 5,564 of

Source

PCMC Executive Director Dr. Cecilia O. Gan

asr-008288

our indigent patients was able to receive zero balance.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008289

Okay, thank you. Next, Dr. Vili Avinilo Aventura from the Philippine Heart Center.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008290

Yes, good afternoon, Mr. Chair and our honorable senators. So the Philippine Heart Center sits on a

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008291

2.7 hectare lot space, which is the smallest among all the four.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008292

GOCCs, and we have about 3,000 employees. And we actually lack space.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008293

We've been having a lot of problems with our capacity and logistics.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008294

In spite of that, we have been trying to reload our patients by having our

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008295

regionalization program.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008296

We've been going to the different regions

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008299

and we have capacitated 18 out of the 18 regions two months ago, with the last

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008300

one in karaga um now we we have a uh project a um to have um sort of like a 12-story project which

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008301

was was given uh some funding already but uh because of um um was this uh failed bids and all

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008302

it was um we had to give back our micah so um it was supposed to be in the in the nep now but uh

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008303

apparently it's it's not anymore there and we of course we need this uh building to uh

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008304

for actually to uh support uh

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008305

universal health care as well uh by 2050 there's an increase in about 80 of patients we actually do

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008306

around 50 of our patients from outside uh the uh ncr and 50 maybe in the from uh the ncr itself

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008307

so um because uh logistically we have these problems we're trying to buy a piece of land also

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008308

near the heart center actually in front using our own

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008309

corporate funds uh in a loan but um for this building would actually be much benefit for us

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008310

increasing the number of our beds and uh icu's and um ors so

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008311

for what we want is uh about a 1.14 billion 1.1 yes

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008312

1.4 billion 1.14 1.14 billion 1.1 so um anyway i'm i'm a witness uh dr aventura in the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008313

identified specialty centers in the different um regions i've visited some of the doctors from the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008314

philippine heart center have been performing um open heart surgeries no bypassing others

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008315

in the medical center

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008316

so actually we are also trying to build an academy so that the training would be faster

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008317

and must rotate sillas at the different regions and also you know you said the side state

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008318

uh because of the uh filipino i know that for fact that philippine heart center is always always

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008319

full

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008320

Talagang you need to expand over its capacity.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008321

So probably we can talk about it on another time

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008322

and how we can help probably expand or acquire the property

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008323

that you are looking at.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008324

Sayang LG lang tayo, papa-exappropriate natin yan.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008325

But we'll see.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008326

We'll see what we can do.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008327

Again, the same.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008328

Yung sa request niyo po, what services according to priority?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008329

Because we're going to be building.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008330

Siguro po, expansion probably.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008331

But again, according to priority na lang.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008332

We'll try and scrape whatever we can scrape in other agencies

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008333

that are yung mga unutilized funds

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008334

so that we can prioritize.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008335

Yung mga specialty centers, we will do.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008336

We'll try, but we'll do our best.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008337

But up now, ganoon na muna tayo according to priority.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008338

Yung mga those that you cannot live without,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008339

gumagayin yung una.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008340

Tapos yung mga pwedeng ipagano na lang,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008341

pwedeng i-delay ng konti for next year.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008342

But yun, according to priority lang yung wish list.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008343

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008344

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

Napansin niyo naman po, di ba, sa Philippine Heart Center,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008347

marami po talagang mga kababayan natin na galing probinsya.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008348

Yung mga watchers nila, walang...

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008349

Yung iba dyan, nasa labas na lang, nagaantay.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008350

While makalabas yung mga pasyente nila,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008351

wala silang komportabling pagpapahingahan.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008352

Yung iba dyan, nag-boarding house na lang po,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008353

nearby villages, dyan sa UP Village or Teacher's Village.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008354

Dyan po ako nakatira rin po noon sa Teacher's Village.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008355

Meron tayong isinulong na halfway house

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008356

para ito sa mga watchers while waiting sa kanilang mga pasyente.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008357

Or even the patients, katulad dito sa PGH,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008358

meron silang bahay lingap.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008359

Yung mga pasyenteng pwede nang lumabas,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008360

hindi pa pwedeng bumiyahe,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008361

and it will help decongest the hospitals kung makakalabas na sila.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008362

Meron tayong isinulong rin po na halfway house sa PGH.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008363

Yung sa Heart Center,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008364

kakumusta na ho yung status nung halfway house na isinulong rin po natin mapagawa

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008365

para ito sa mga watchers while waiting sa kanilang mga patients

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008366

na komportable naman sila.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008367

Opo.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008368

Magpapasalamang dito ako sa inyo kay Sen. Bongo

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008369

dahil nga nagbabigay kayo ng funds for the halfway house.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008370

Ngayon, kasulukuyo ang ginagawa na

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008371

and ang timetable niya is by the end of the month

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008372

kasi humingi silang konti extension dahil nga sa ulan.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008373

So by the end of the month, matatapos na po daw yung ano

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008374

and maano na, pwede na nalagyan ng mga aircon

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008375

at magamit.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008376

So yung mga ano naman, yung mga sa ER and ICUs ng mga pasyente,

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008377

walang aircon nung una.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008378

Tapos ngayon, linigyan na rin namin ang aircon

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008379

dahil kawawa rin sila naghihintay doon sa manilabasan.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008380

Pero ngayon, even the OPD,

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008381

ginawa na namin online yung appointment system.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008382

Kaya yung linya hindi na masyadong ganong kahaba as before.

Source

Dr. June Aventura

asr-008383

Manakakaano na sila, nakakapasok na po.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008384

Salamat po.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008385

Malaking tulong to sa mga watchers.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008386

And aside from sa Philippine Heart Center,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008387

meron rin po sa Quirino Memorial Medical Center,

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008388

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008389

to USEC Gloria Balboa, ma'am sa HPEP,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008390

baka pwede niyong mapacheck po ito.

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008391

And then kung meron pa kayong mga hospital na may mga spaces pa,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008392

na pwede pong paglagyan,

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008393

baka mabigyan niyo rin po ng prioridad

Source

Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go

asr-008394

itong mga halfway house natin.

DOH Undersecretary Dr. Gloria J. Balboa

asr-008395

asr-008427

Salamat sa iyong interventions.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008428

Just a few more questions.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008429

With regards to zero balance billing,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008430

it was taken up earlier.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008431

But based on your submission,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008432

3.29 million patients benefited from zero balance billing

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008433

from July 2025 to July 2026.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008434

But I would need these figures

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008435

para I can justify.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008436

I intend to increase

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008437

yung pong inyong budget for this.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008438

How much was actually spent?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008439

Siguro kung di man ready,

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008440

if you can submit it to us

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008441

so that we can justify yung pong increase

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008442

that we would.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008443

proposed how much was actually spent for zero balance billion 2025 and how much has been spent

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008444

so far in 2026 we need these figures to determine as i mentioned how much we really need to fund

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008445

for 2027 so with the change in its funding structure since the zero balance being is

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008446

now included in the 19 billion subsidy of field health so what should we expect moving forward

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008447

and who will ultimately be accountable for delivering zero balance billing doh field

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008448

health or the hospitals so kailangan po natin klaruhin dito para malaman natin yung ng mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008449

pasyente kung sino responsable kung pagbabayarin ba natin sila ng hospital bills

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-008450

uh yes uh uh mr chair we will pre present those data

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008451

yes with i would

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008452

i would need those data so that uh it'll justify nothing you increase

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008453

yeah hopefully if there's a need to increase then we will increase the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008454

the the budget for zero balance being for 2027 and then the government released an additional 10.377

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008455

billion in 2026 to support zero balance billing in doh hospitals and selected lgu hospitals

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008456

so of every 100 needed to implement

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008457

zero balance but how much is paid by field health

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008458

and how much must still be subsidized directly by doh or other government source

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008459

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

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008460

we can use this to justify the increase.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008461

Tapos, Cancer Assistance Fund, please take note of this para during the plenary debates we are prepared.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008462

how will the department use the expanded cancer assistance fund 3.7 billion in 2027f so that the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008463

increase produces earlier like doses faster treatment and lower patient spending so

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008464

with this include already cancer meds uh cancer meds chemotherapy and other treatments

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008465

because the public doesn't know that uh we have a cancer assistance fund

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008466

fund, no, na alam niyo naman napakamahal ng cancer treatment, chemo and all. So

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008467

siguro yung again, what I requested earlier is more information on this. So this includes

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008468

yung chemo, no, and cancer meds

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008469

kasama sa Cancer Assistance Fund. So

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008470

inform na lang po natin yung public

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008471

of these benefits that we have for the Cancer Assistance Fund kasi it has been

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008472

increased, no?

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008473

Nasa 3 billion na. I think we started with about a billion [unclear]. So 3.7 billion na po ngayon. Sige, Mercado, let us see mga chemo, cancer meds and others kung ano po yung mga kasama rito and how to avail and which hospitals probably

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008474

hospitals.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-008474-split-2

Yes, Mr. Chair, we will be

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-008475

present uh we will be providing the data but we also uh requested for an amendment to

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-008476

also cover uh additional services specifically the nutritionals additional labs and we will

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-008477

based on previous uh so as from the different hospital we will provide the expected

asr-008478

likewise

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008479

likewise

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008480

a few more points

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008481

we discussed

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008482

this in our earlier pre-budget briefing, yung decongesting apex hospitals and upgrading

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008483

provincial capacity. Ito siguro yung question ko: which provincial and regional hospitals will receive the most important capacity upgrades in

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008484

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

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008485

probably

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008486

magandang gawin natin dito

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008487

Sec Mercado

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008488

is to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008489

probably have

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008490

mga

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008491

model provinces

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008492

no

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008493

halimbawa

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008494

there are some provinces

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008495

kasi that

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008496

really prioritize

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008497

healthcare

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008499

healthcare system

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

so parang

konting support na lang

where they will

be lodged

because

asr-008726

it is complicated

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008727

due to the

do you have

any estimate

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008774

already

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008775

as to

how much

asr-008777

would be

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008778

the needed

fund or

asr-008783

sa Sulu

although

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008785

provincial

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-008786

government, pero

Source

Nawala sila sa

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

BARMM, no?

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008792

and then

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008793

the challenge po

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008794

is that

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008795

there are

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008796

positions

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008797

that have

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

no counterpart

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

in terms

national

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008804

government

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008805

so we

Source

can't

Source

asr-008807

find

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008810

gave us

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008811

ideas

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008812

on how

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008813

to go

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008814

about it

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008815

maybe

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008816

1.7

Source

Undersecretary Mary Ann Palermo-Maestral

asr-008817

Mr. Chair, we can

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-009241

provide you po the more exact data

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

medyo disappointing kasi

asr-009244

single digit po ang retention

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-009245

rate po.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-009247

sa mga GIDA areas.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-009248

We should treat deployment as the means of

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

yon. Then number two po is

facility readiness and alignment

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-009271

may weight pong na 10% yon.

Source

Secretary Edwin M. Mercado

asr-009272

Number three po is access

asr-009274

equity may weight po na 20%.
