asr-000170Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000171Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleagues, I rise to sponsor the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000172The proposed national budget carries the theme, People-Centered Growth for an Inclusive and Resilient Future.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000173Under it, P241.2 billion is proposed for the DSWD to support vulnerable families and provide assistance to those in need.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000174Behind that figure are people who cannot wait, a child who needs a nutritious meal, a family struggling to keep its children in school,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000175an older person with no steady income, and a household rebuilding after a disaster.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000176The DSWD reaches these families at different points in their lives.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000177The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program supports children's health and education.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000178Feeding and food assistance address hunger.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000179Protective services help people through crisis.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000180Livelihoods offer a path
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000181toward greater security.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000182Social pensions help older Filipinos meet their daily needs.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000183These programs are strongest when they work together.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000184Emergency assistance helps a family get through today.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000185Education, nutrition, and livelihood opportunities can help change what tomorrow holds.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000186Madam Speaker, Congress must also ask what this appropriation will achieve.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000187Are eligible families receiving help on time?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000188Are we reaching communities that are hardest to serve, including island and remote barangays?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000189Are our programs helping households recover from hardships and build a more secure future?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000190We owe the Filipino people accurate targeting, timely delivery, transparent spending, and results.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000191They can feel in their daily lives.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000192Secretary Rex Gatchalian reported during the Committee on Appropriations briefing
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000193that the Department achieved nearly full utilization of its 2025 funds.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000194That record deserves recognition.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000195It also sets a standard for the year ahead.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000196Funds must be used effectively and assistance must reach the people for whom Congress provides it.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000197The value of this budget
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000198will be measured in a child better nourished, a student able to remain in school, a family supported through a crisis, an older person treated with dignity, and a community able to recover after a disaster.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000199Our task is to turn public resources into public good. For social welfare, that means being present when the people need government most and helping families move forward, lasting security and opportunity.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000200I therefore respectfully sponsor the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget of the Department of Social Welfare and Development and urge this Honorable Chamber to give it its careful consideration.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-000219CBMS, Identified Households, were found to be untraceable, relocated, ineligible or otherwise disqualified?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000220And how many were confirmed eligible but have yet to be registered?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000221What measure is DSWD undertaking with LGUs to locate and validate the remaining eligible families?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000222Ilan na ho ba yung na-identify natin na untraceable?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000223Located? Ineligible?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000224The trend, Madam Speaker, reaches 50% that cannot be traced.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-00022550%?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-00022650% of the identified by CBMS.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000227And how about those located that have been remaining eligible families?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000228Ilan pa ho yung natitira?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000229So, the remaining 50% who is untraceable?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000230The almost 500 that were identified.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000231The new...
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000232Registrant or enrollees of the program.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000233That's also included sa 3.5 million po natin, no?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000234That includes the 3.5.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000235Kasama po yun?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000236Yes.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000237O, idadagdag pa natin sa 3.5?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000238That's part of the 3.5.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000239O, kasama na. Okay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000240Thank you for clarifying that, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000241COA reported overpayments to beneficiaries who had already reached self-sufficiency
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000242because of delays in updating their...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000243What controls has DSWD implemented to shorten the period between a household's confirmed self-sufficiency
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000244and its actual delisting?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000245And how many cases remain pending?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000246The continued digitalization of
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000247DSWD
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000248would
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000249provide
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000250for these gaps
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000251and I think there's a new
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000252system that
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000253is being installed and will
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000254be functional
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000255by the end of this year.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000256And that would be a real-time tracking
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000257system for
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000258these beneficiaries
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000374From 63 billion to...
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000375The initial target for this year will go up
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000376somewhere 6 to 8
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000377million, but with the reduction
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000378approximately an estimate
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000379of 4 million.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0003804 million will be disenfranchised
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000381because of the reduction of the IEX.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000383So, you know how many recipients
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000384po ang hindi masusunod?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0003854 million will be disenfranchised
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-000395About 8 million po
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000399-split-2Okay. Thank you,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000400Madam Speaker, Distinguished
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000401Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000402COA reported
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000403397.45 million
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-000408Across the central

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000415what cross-matching controls
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000416are now in place to prevent
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000417a beneficiary from

asr-000418receiving prohibited
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000419multiple availments?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000420Uh...
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000421The...
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000422The Department recognizes
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000423that and measures
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000424are being done
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000425to prevent such,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000426including the Commission on Audit
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000427as well to be
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000428flagged all those
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000429who had
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000430received the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000431benefits twice
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000432or more
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000433so that they cannot avail of it
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000434next time.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000435This is 2025 COA
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000436reports, no?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000437That's right, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000438Your Honor. So how many of these, the 397
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000439million, how many
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000440recipients, ito pong 397
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000441natin?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000457Some of those have benefited from different programs, but the actual number that really we can call a duplication is far from the said number, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000458So in short, these cross-matching controls, is it in place?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000459So how…
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000460How do you see the cross-matching controls of the SWD right now?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000461Is it really working?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000462It's a system.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000463There's an ongoing or an embedded system for the cross-matching prior to accepting or…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000464Accepting the client.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000465And the number as mentioned is just a small number before that had been duplicated as shown otherwise, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000466Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000467Assuming that some of these beneficiaries were caught red-handed.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000468So are we blacklisting them from the…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000469Madam Speaker, Your Honor, we have the number that may be considered as the exact duplication.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000470It's in the range of 14,000.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-00047114,000?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-00047214,000.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000473Those were…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000474Beneficiaries.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000475Beneficiaries that were…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000476Yeah.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000477So far from the so-called almost 400,000.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000478400,000 duplications mentioned by COA.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000479So this was already rectified by the department, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000480So what happened to the duplication?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000481Did we get back the money or we just let it go and then probably it will apply for the next stage of payment?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000482The department, Your Honor, had totally flagged these beneficiaries.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000483So they…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000484They cannot avail of any assistance again from the department, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000485So in short, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, they will be totally blacklisted and will never receive anymore or it's just only a temporary blacklisting and maybe a short period of time or totally talagang hindi sila makakuha.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000486So it's a temporary blacklisting, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000487And then…
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000488And then if they do it again the third time, fourth time, they'll be out totally?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000489If necessary, if it will be another incident of such, then appropriate charges may be filed by the department against these clients, Your Honor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000490As you know, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, I'm not blaming the SWD.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000491There's millions of them, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000492Kasi talaga may mga…
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000493Mga kababayan tayo, kung makakapag-take advantage sila, gagawin nila because, you know, they're getting cashed.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000494But again, moving forward, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, we know that ACAP is no longer funded for this year, for next year, fiscal 2027.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000495What eligibility assistance guidance will apply to former ACAP beneficiaries who seek assistance through AICS?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000496And how will…
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000497And how will the SWD ensure that the transition does not result in eligible crisis clients being left without corresponding program?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000498Madam Speaker, Your Honor, everything is now under AICS.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000499And in fact, AICS was tapped to serve other programs, particularly during the…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000500During the…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000501During the crisis that was brought about by the Gulf War.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000502If you…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000503If we can remember, the latest intervention as far as with that crisis is the uplift, which is also sourced from AICS, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000504I have to ask you a hypothetical question, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000505What's the difference between, although ACAP is no longer here, AICS has been known for so long.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000506What's the difference between AICS and ACAP?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000507Why we cannot have just AICS alone forever?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000508Kasi AICS has been working.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000509So why we have to integrate it to ACAP neto?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000510Anong difference between the two of them?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000511First, I think that the very difference between the two programs…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000512AICS is department-initiated program, while ACAP is Congress-initiated program.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000513AICS intends to provide temporary relief for a certain individual or family that is in crisis situation.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000514While ACAP intends to provide for those with the low-income group on the…
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000515more regular level than what AICS is intended to.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000516Yeah, thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000517Distinguished Sponsor, probably this is my last question as far as AICS is concerned, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000518Because on the ground, you know, those in barangay level, and they keep on questioning or asking their, you know,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000519the punong barangay na may mili daw ng bibigyan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000520Those who did not…
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000521received and qualified to get those AICS, can they go straight in their…
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000522DSWD, LGU ba nila?

asr-000583implementation requirement
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000584must the SWD meet
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000585before the expansion can proceed?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000586The 700 figure is
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000587what it is now,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000588Madam Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-000591expanded from the start
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-000598apparently
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000599assisted

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000714Si, my next question, since
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000715EBT cards, you know,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000716gusto ko ito maganda doon, the electronic
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000717benefit transfer, but when you say
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000718small, medium, do they
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000719have the machine?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000720Kung paano, unlike those big
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000721supermarket or grocery,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000722meron na sila, do they have, especially
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000723the cooperatives that you mentioned?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000724It's to their
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000725phone.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000725-split-2Okay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000726So, automatic yan. So, it's electronic.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000727So, it's been registered.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000728It's POS or
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000729point of sale.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000729-split-2Yeah, point of sale.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000730So, okay na po. Okay na yun.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000731So, what is, why
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000732we don't include those big
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000733ah, grocery
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000734chain, yung malalaki po. Hindi talaga
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000735sila kasama. Dapat small, medium.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000736In this way,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000737we're hitting two birds
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000738in one stone,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000739by tapping the small business
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000740and cooperatives
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000741as well as farmers,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000742also included
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000743are the women-led groups.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000744So, in this case,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000745we can provide
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000746additional opportunity
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000747to these
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000748groups or
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000749small enterprises.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000806Again,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000807Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000808Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000809those
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000810beneficiaries that
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000811we give them 3,000
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000812a month, right? So, through
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000813electronic card. So, what
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000814happens if they only consume
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-0008152,000? Is it carried over
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000816or is
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000817no longer be
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000818given back?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000819For example, 3,000,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-0008202,500 lang yung na-consume
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000821mula this month.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000822Is the remaining 500 unused
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000823can be carried over
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000824in the next cycle
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000825or definitely mawawala na yun?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000826So far, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000827Your Honor, as experienced
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000828by the department, it's
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000829totally consumed.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000830Anyway, it's 3,000. I'm just
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000831hypothetical question. So,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000832there's no
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000833instance that
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000834may natira, laging
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000835max out in short?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000836Yes, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000837That's good. It's working though. Is there
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000838also another instance
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000839na ito pagka
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000840is it when they go to
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000841localize a grocery or
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000842cooperativa, are they
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000843doing in one time, they get
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000844one time to, o kailangan
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000845rational? Every week
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000846500, 750,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000847or it's up to them? They can use it one time?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000848Actually, it's up to the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000849beneficiaries.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000850But most would
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000851chances are
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000852would do it one time.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000853Maybe that is one way
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000854to avoid the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000855repeated travel to
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000856the servicing
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000857store.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000858So, have you encountered
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000859Madam Speaker,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000860they max it out
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000861one time and then they resell
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000862it? May pa naman nangyari siguro, no?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000863I hope not. As far as the department is concerned,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000864none, Your Honor,

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000902the list that are
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000905Madam Speaker, Your Honor.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000925Matanda na ako ito, baka di na nila

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000950The
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000951release
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000952is done quarterly,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000953Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000954And
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000955as far
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000956as the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000957Commission is concerned, the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000958turnaround time from applying
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000959to the release
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000960is around that
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000961period,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000962Your Honor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000963Can you repeat that? Come again.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000964The releases of these benefits is usually done on a quarterly basis.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000965So, applicants may apply directly
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000966but the Commission intends to digitalize the system.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000967But according to the Commission,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000968if the clients had bank accounts,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000969then that would provide faster release
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000970as compared to those who have none.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000971And the turnaround time from application to the release is...
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000972If they have a bank account, they can release it much faster within a week period.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000973While those without, then it will entail about three months.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-000974That's why it's being released on a quarterly basis, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000975Thank you, Madam Speaker, and of course, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000976maraming salamat to the DSWD family.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000977I hope the digitalization, digitalization,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000978of the beneficiary, sana matupad na natin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000979At the same time, sana po, bigyan pansin natin itong mga centenarians natin, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000980At sila po ang ating founding fathers na nauna sa atin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000981Sana, huwag na magkaroon ng delay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-000982Kasi any delay, nababawasan yung araw nila sa mundo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-000987Majority Leader?
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero
asr-000988Madam Speaker?
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero
asr-000989I move that we recognize Representative J.C. Abalos of 4P's party list for his interpellation.
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez
asr-000990Representative J.C. Abalos of the 4P's party list is hereby recognized for his interpellation.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000991Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000992Good day to our colleagues in this Chamber,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000993to the Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000994and to the Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Secretary Rex,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000995together with the heads of its attached and supervised agency,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000996who are with us as in this session.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000997Before anything else, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000998let me place on record my appreciation,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-000999and I am certain that this is shared by the Chamber for the work of the Department and its people.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001000The 4P's alone has helped 1.77 million households graduate to self-sufficiency since 2022,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001001and 7.24 million children of beneficiary households have completed basic education.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001002Through the Quick Response Fund,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001003and its network of over a thousand warehouses,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001004the Department continues to be the first responder of our people in times of disaster.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001005This is not a Department we come here to fault.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001006This is a Department we come here to strengthen and to support.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001007Ngayon, Madam Speaker, para sa una kong katanungan, nalagyan ko po ng konting konteksto.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001008Poverty incidents among the population fell to 9.7%.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001009In 2025.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001010But this figure does not yet reflect the Middle East-linked oil price shock
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001011projected by PIDS to add up to 1.34 million poor Filipinos,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001012and the Philippines' new upper middle-income country classification,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001013which may require the poverty line used for cross-country comparison
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001014to rise from 4.20 dollars a day to 8.3 dollars a day,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001015potentially tripling the estimated incidence.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001016Ngayon, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001017given the PIDS projection that the ongoing oil price shock
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001018could push as many as 1.34 million additional Filipinos into poverty,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001019and the possible upward revision of the poverty threshold
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001020following our recent reclassification as an upper middle-income country,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001021was the Department's 2027 budget calibrated against these emerging risks
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001022or prepared solely on the basis of the 2025 preliminary poverty rate?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001023May we repeat the question again, Madam Speaker, Your Honor?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001024Madam Speaker, ayon po sa datos, bumaba daw po ang poverty incidence
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001025sa ating populasyon to 9.7 percent in 2025.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001026Ngunit, Madam Speaker, hindi pa po na-re-reflect sa figure na ito
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001027ang epekto ng Middle East oil price shock,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001028at ayon po sa mga pagsusuri ng PIDS,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001029maaaring dumagdag po ang dami ng ating mga kababayan na mahihirap.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001030Maaaring dumagdag po ito ng 1.34 million.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001031At dahil nagkaroon po ng upper middle-income classification ang ating bansa,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001032yung ating threshold for poverty line cross-country comparison
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001033maaaring umangat from 4.20 dollars a day to 8.30 dollars a day,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001034tripling the estimated incidence.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001035So ang katanungan ko po, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001036given the projection ng ating oil price shock,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001037at hindi pa po ito na-factor in,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001038sa 9.7 percent poverty incidence rate,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001039at dahil na-re-classify po tayo to upper middle-income classification,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001040gusto ko po malaman kung ang budget ng DSWD for 2027,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001041na-calibrate na po ba ito considering these emerging risks?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001042Or hinanda po ba siya on the basis of the 2025 preliminary poverty rate?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001043Madam Speaker, first of all, Your Honor,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001044what the figure that is being considered as of the moment
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001045is not the current figure which is below 10 percent,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001046but rather the 2023 figure which is at 15 percent.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001047That's the basis.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001048And looking forward to what was mentioned on the current crisis
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001049that we are experiencing,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001050AICS was tapped to address this
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001051by the program we call Uplift.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001052There's a tap-up as far as four-piece beneficiaries are concerned
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001053to further augment their benefits
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001054because of this situation, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001055Madam Speaker, nabanggit po ng ating distinguished sponsor
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001056na pinagbasihan po natin dito ang poverty incidence rate ng 2023,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001057the crafting of the current proposed budget for 2027.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001058As I've mentioned, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001059there are current emerging risks that our country is facing
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001060aside from the Middle East crisis.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001061Of course, meron pa pong inflation among several other problems.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001062So ang tanong ko po naman ng kasunodan pong tanong, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001063should any of these risks materialize within the upcoming fiscal year,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001064meron po bang contingency financing plan ang ating departamento
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001065kung sakaling mapatunayan na ang nararanasan ng ating mga kababayan sa ground
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001066ay mas manubha pa po kumpara noong taong 2023?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001067As what we have done for this year,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001068AICS was tapped to augment
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001069the benefits that the 4Ps beneficiaries are receiving
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001070under the program Uplift.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001071The possibility of having such again
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001072would certainly be, I think, a repeat of the intervention may be done
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001073to address the situation again in case there is another crisis
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001074or for that matter, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001075For my next set of questions, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001076may mga katanungan lang rin naman po ako tungkol naman po sa ating four-piece program.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001077Tulad ng nabanggit po kanina ni Congressman Presley,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001078may nabanggit po siya kung saan may mga pagkakataon na maaaring nagkaroon po ng onting overpayments
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001079tuwing nagkakaroon ng delisting delays.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001080And nauunawaan ko po ang problema ito ng departamento dahil nakita ko rin po mismo
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001081at natuklasan ko po mismo on the ground,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001082na may mga pagkakataon kung saan malaki po yung caseload ng ating mga social worker
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001083kaya hindi po maiwasan na magkakaroon po tayo ng mga delays.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001084On top of that, mayroon rin delays sa CBMS
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001085kaya may mga times na delayed po talaga ang ating delisting.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001086So, ako po, Madam Speaker, gusto ko pong malaman kung ano po ang mga hakbang na ginagawa ng ating departamento.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001087Meron po ba tayong mga...
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001088mechanisms or system upgrades para maiwasan po ang mga instances of delays
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001089pagdating po sa delisting ng mga households na nakita na nating self-sufficient or for whatever reasons as the case may be.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001090As mentioned earlier, Madam Speaker, Your Honor,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001091the department is working on a new program that would provide almost a real-time tracking system.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001092In this case,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001093concerns on those mentioned will be outrightly addressed through this digitalization program, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001094Madam Speaker, nagpapasalamat po ako sa ating departamento dahil mag-i-institutionalize tayo ng real-time tagging system
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001095para maiwasan po ang delays sa pagdelist ng mga beneficiaries na kailangan na pong graduate.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001096And on top of this question,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001097naalala ko nga po, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001098noong 19th Congress,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001099nakasama po namin ang department nung inaaral namin ang posibilidad
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001100na i-empower naman po rin ang mga parent leader naman ng 4Ps.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001101Dahil for the longest time, tulad ng banggit ko po kanina,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001102ang ating mga city and municipal link,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001103napakarami po na households ang kanilang inaasikaso.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001104If I remember correctly,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001105it can go as high as, a city or municipal link could cater to around
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001106more than 500 households in some instances.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001107At naniniwala po ako na siguro bumaba na po yung numero na yun.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001108Gusto ko po malaman ngayon kung ano yung stance ng department pagdating po sa aming panukala
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001109na i-empower po yung mga parent leader para matulungan po yung department
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001110sa pag-verify ng mga households na kailangan ng graduate mula sa programa.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001111And of course, kinikilala rin po ng departamento sa kanilang IRR yung kakalagahan.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001112ng mga parent leader ng mga 4Ps.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001113The proposal, Your Honor, Madam Speaker, is very much acceptable to the department.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001114Fortunately, the department cannot compensate these leaders as well.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001115There's no additional budget for that.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001116Maraming maraming salamat po, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001117dahil nananatili pa rin po ang suporta ng departamento.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001118At kinikilala pa rin nila ang kahalagan ng mga parent leader ng 4Ps
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001119pagdating po sa pagpaunlad ng ating programa.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001120Ngayon, Madam Speaker, may mga katanungan rin po ako
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001121pagdating naman po sa status ng mga wait-listed households.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001122Dahil alam naman po nating lahat, noong nag-transition ang listahanan to CBMS,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001123may mga households po sa CBMS na hindi mahanap sa listahanan.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001124Ayon po.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001125Ayon po sa datos na meron ako dito,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001126pagdating po sa qualified set 12 beneficiaries,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001127nagkaroon po ng as much as 434,069 households who were wait-listed.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001128166,251 were endorsed by the Social Registry Office to be included in the 4Ps CBMS.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001129So yung tanong ko po, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001130dito sa mga wait-listed households on the 4Ps,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001131dito sa mga wait-listed households under set 12,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001132ilan na lang po dito ang natitira for special revalidation?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001133For all those wait-listed,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001134the 434,069, only 59,462 were not identified as of yet.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001135So the rest are already in.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001136And will be part of the 3.5 million beneficiaries for next year.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001137Madam Speaker, pwede ko rin po bang malaman kung yung 59,000 households nito,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001138may certain areas ba kung saan concentrated yung population ng mga households na ito?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001139Dahil maaaring nasa geographic areas sila na mahirap abutin,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001140kaya siguro mahirap ma-validate.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001141So, naka-curious po ako, Madam Speaker, kung saan po yung,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001142naka-concentrate yung numero na ito?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001143And if I may also ask, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001144gaano na po katagal naghihintay ang mga households na wait-listed for special revalidation?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001145So the validation process started early part of this year.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001146And the number or the 59,000 is spread all over.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001147And they were, I think, advice was given.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001148that the first thing that they can do is to approach their respective local government units
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001149for purposes of identification and validation, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001150Madam Speaker, if I may also ask, did the Philippine Statistics Authority commit to a certain target timeline
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001151kung kailan po nila maaaring matapos ang kanilang special validation ng mga 59,000 households?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001152They committed. Unfortunately, they're short of the target, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001153My question, Madam Speaker, is is there a specific target date in mind?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001154Kailan po kaya, when is the department expecting the PSA to complete this?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001155I understand po dahil iba po yung trabaho ng departamento sa PSA
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001156at nagtutulungan lamang po ang PSA at ng DSWD pagdating sa special validation.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001157So yung tanong ko lang po, may kinamit po kaya ang PSA sa DSWD kung kailan matatapos ang validation?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001158They informed the department that they will be done with this by end of September, Your Honor.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001159By end of September. Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001160And then for my next question, nakasanayan na po kasi and I think it's been a practice for quite some time
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001161na yung target coverage ng 4Ps ay pumapalo ng mga 4.4 million households.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001162And natuklasan po natin na beginning 2026, naging 3.5 million po ang ating target.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001163So maaari ko po ba malaman kung ano po yung basis natin for this reduced target under the proposed 2027 budget?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001164There's a continuous decrease in the poverty incidence, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001165The very reason why the targeted beneficiary.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001166That is also lowered down.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001167Despite the decrease in the poverty incidence,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001168the department still identified the 10% of the near poor group to be covered under this program.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001169So it's not totally poorest,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001170but the same way, a certain percentage of the near poor, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001171So is it safe to say, Madam Speaker, that the basis for lowering the target number of households for the 4Ps program
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001172is based on the prevailing poverty incidence rate?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001173Yes, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001174Madam Speaker, para sa...
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001175At 15%.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001176Yes, 15% yung basis po.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001177And then, if I may ask, Madam Speaker, is the poverty incidence rate typically based on the family income expenditure survey?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001178Conducted by the PSA?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001179Ano po kaya yung nagiging pinaka-statistical basis kapag kinukomplete po natin ito?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001180It's the PSA process, Your Honor, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001181that they utilize the family income and expenditure survey.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001182Madam Speaker, base po sa aking pananaliksik,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001183natuklas na rin po natin na yung family income expenditure survey
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001184is sinasagawa po ito.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001185Every two years.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001186And maybe two or three years.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001187Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001188Every three years.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001189And tulad po ng CBMS, tulad rin po ng family income expenditure survey,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001190dahil meron po tayong three-year cycle na sinusundan,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001191ang pangamba po ng representasyong ito ay
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001192kung ito po ang ating pagbabasihan,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001193marami po kasing pwede mangyari sa loob ng tatlong taon.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001194Hindi po natin alam kung magkakaroon ng isa pang pandemia
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001195o isa pang crisis,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001196tungkol sa Middle East oil crisis.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001197For example,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001198so what I'm trying to say, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001199is that pagamat maganda na nagkakaroon po tayo ng mga census
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001200and ng mga survey para imeasure kung ilan sa ating mga kababayan
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001201ang nakakaranas ng kahirapan,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001202marami pong pwedeng mangyari in a span of three years.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001203And we always want the budget to reflect the existing realities
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001204that happen on the ground.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001205Kaya nabanggit ko po kanina,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001206Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001207na hindi pa natin natatake into account
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001208yung Middle East crisis,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001209yung oil price shock,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001210yung inflation.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001211So gusto ko lang po sana hingiin yung commitment
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001212ng ating sponsor at ng ating department
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001213na mag-communicate constantly, of course,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001214with the DBM and the DepDev as the case may be
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001215kung sakaling nakita po nila on the ground
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001216na malaki na po ang impact ng mga problemang ito.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001217Considering na hindi po siya factored in
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001218sa planning stage po ng ating budget.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001219The department agrees to that, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001220In fact, we have the assistance for individuals in crisis situation
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001221which usually the immediate program that can address
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001222temporary relief.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001223For these cases.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001224And the department can as well come up with temporary programs
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001225like what they have done as far as uplift is concerned,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001226Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001227And that could be duplicated or scaled up just if necessary,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001228I suppose, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001229Madam Speaker, gusto ko rin po ipaalam sa ating distinguished sponsor at sa department,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001230at sigurado po akong
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001231alam ito ng department
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001232na napasa na po ng mababang kapulungan
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001233ang ledak priority measure na pagtibayan pa po ang Four-Peace Act.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001234And dito ini-institutionalize po natin ang first 1,000 days,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001235ang rice subsidy, for example.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001236So gusto ko lang po itanong sa ating sponsor at sa ating department na
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001237considering na may onting pagbawas sa pondo ng Four-Peace program,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001238intact pa rin po ba ang mga programang ito
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001239para sa ating mga kababayan?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001240As far as Four-Peace, Your Honor, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001241it's still sufficient considering that the number targeted is smaller than what we have right now,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001242currently here.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001243And then, Madam Speaker, for my next set of questions,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001244tatanong naman po ako tungkol sa Supplemental Feeding Program and Child Nutrition.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001245Performance data show mixed results.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001246The percentage of malnourished children with improved nutritional status reached
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-00124778.92% against a 70.05% target in 2025.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001248But only 61,371 of an expected higher cohort were confirmed served
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001249under the tighter 2025 budget window.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001250Madam Speaker, the reduction of SFP funding by a third appears to walk back
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001251the extended 180 feeding cycle achieved in 2026.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001252Can the good sponsor confirm whether reverting toward a 120-day cycle
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001253for 1.9 million children is expected to affect nutritional outcomes
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001254and how this squares with our national nutrition policy?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001255Technically, it will be much better for the department if the 2026 level
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001256can be restored for 2027, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001257So, Madam Speaker, with the reduced allocation,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001258may I know how many feeding days can the DSWD sustain?
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001259And if it's possible for us to maintain the 180-day cycle achieved in 2026,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001260or would funding constraints require a return to 120 days?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001261The estimate goes down to 120 days, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001262Maraming salamat po, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001263Para sa aking susunod naman pong katanungan, gusto ko lang pong ipaalam
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001264sa departamento ang aking mga obserbasyon po pagdating po sa CBMS.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001265Alam naman po nating lahat, napakahalaga ng CBMS dahil
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001266nagge-generate po tayo ng aggregated and disaggregated data at the household level,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001267at nagsisilbi po itong gabay
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001268hindi lamang po sa mga lokal na pamahalaan kung hindi lalong-lalo na po sa ating national programs.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001269So, this year, we learned from the Walang Gutom program
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001270that the DSWD notified the PSA that we have 238 households
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001271with unidentified or disputed roster members,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001272and 128 households that their LGUs,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001273that LGUs confirmed are no longer residing in the area surveyed.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001274Are these figures drawn from the full Walang Gutom program beneficiary list
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001275or only a sample from a specific region?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001276It's the whole, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001277Madam Speaker, gusto ko po malaman na kung ano po ang mga,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001278kung nagkaroon po ba ng talakayan ang DSWD, pati po yung PSA,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001279para maiwasan po yung discrepancies sa pag-identify ng mga beneficiaries
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001280na hindi pala dapat nasasali doon.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001281Dahil naiintindihan ko po na ang pinagbabasihan lamang ng DSWD
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001282ay ang ibinibigay po sa kanila ng ating CBMS.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001283That's why the department, Madam Speaker, Your Honor,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001284continues with the validation process in the field.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001285There's always an ongoing validation.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001286As far as confirming or final acceptance of beneficiaries,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001287Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001288For my next question, Madam Speaker, gusto ko po itanong rin.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001289Tungkol naman po ito sa mga contract of service and job order personnel ng DSWD,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001290particularly po dito sa mga ating four-piece links.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001291With over 17,000 contract of service and job order personnel,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001292more than triple the department's authorized permanent positions,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001293many of whom have served as four-piece links for over a decade,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001294when will the DBM-approved 5,627-item enhanced structure
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001295be reflected in the staffing summary and funded,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001296so that frontline social workers may finally be given security of tenure?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001297There's a total of about 5,000 new items for this year, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001298And the department is on the process of filling up these new items.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001299And it is expected another 5,000 will be up for next year again, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001300This is excellent news, Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001301And I commend the department dahil binibigyan po natin ng security of tenure
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001302ang ating mga social workers na matagal na pong nagsisilbe.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001303Para po sa ahensya.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001304Ngayon, for my final question po, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001305may tanong lang po ako tungkol sa Executive Order No. 51, Series of 2023,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001306creating the Special Committee on LGBTQIA plus Affairs under the DSWD.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001307Yung tanong ko lang po, Madam Speaker, mula nung itinayo ang Special Committee na ito,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001308sigurado po ako na marami na pong programa,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001309at proyekto, at marami po itong mungkahing activities para pagsilbihan po ang community.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001310At nung tinitingnan ko po ang General Appropriations Act,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001311wala po ako nakitang item doon kung ano po ang kanilang gagamitan ng pondo
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001312para mapondohan po ang kanilang mga activity.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001313Gusto ko lang po malaman kung paano po kaya natin matutulungan ang Special Committee na ito
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001314para magambanan po nila ang kanilang layunin.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001315Madam Speaker, Your Honor, I think we need to request the DBM to put a specific item for this unit's program.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001316As of now, there's no specific item for that as far as DBM is concerned.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001317And funding or expenditure for this purpose is being absorbed by the department itself.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001318And I to my
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001319understanding rin po, Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001320sumulat rin po maski pa paano ang department sa DBM asking for a small sum
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001321to fund the operations of the Special Committee of LGBTQIA Affairs.
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001322So gusto ko lang po kunin sana ang support at ng commitment ng ating sponsor
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001323for in case later opportunity would come for us to request specific funding
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001324for the Special Committee on LGBTQIA Affairs,
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001325susuportahan po ba ng sponsor na magkaroon ng sariling budget
Rep. JC M. Abalos
asr-001326maski pa paano?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001327Definitely, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.

asr-001350ang butihing sponsor,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001351Madam Speaker.

asr-001353ipinagmamalaki po ng ating mga economic
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001354managers
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001355itong pagbaba ng poverty
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001356incidents to single digits
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001357and
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001358even the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001359Dep. Secretary Balisakan
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001360cited and called this as
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001361a milestone
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001362ahead of the Philippine Development
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001363Plan target
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001364which is by 8.8
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001365to 9 percent by the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001366end of the administration.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001367And the economic managers
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001368framed this as
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001369a proof that
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001370expanding economic
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001371opportunities complemented by
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001372effective social protection
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001373can make a meaningful difference.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001374Now, there is no question about
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001375the work that the Department has been
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001376doing in the recent years
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001377but
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001378the poverty threshold
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001379that the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001380economic managers
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001381is using
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001382is somewhat problematic.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001383Problematic in a sense
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001384that
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001385halos wala ho sigurong maniniwala
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001386doon po sa
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001387poverty stats na ginagamit
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001388ng ating mga economic managers.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001389Just
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001390to say
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001391for example,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001392ang poverty threshold na ginagamit po
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001393yung estimates
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001394ay
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-00139514,634
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001396pesos
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001397per month
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001398for a family
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001399of five.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001400That means
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001401roughly
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-00140297 pesos
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001403per person
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001404per day
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001405for both food
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001406and non-food needs.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001407So,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001408ang ginamit po na estimate
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001409dito sa poverty threshold
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001410nakatuntong actually
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001411on bare
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001412least cost food basket
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001413with non-food needs
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001414not directly
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001415and adequately cost.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001416So, gusto ko lang pong
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001417ilagay yan sa konteksto
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001418ng pag-uusap natin.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001419Surely,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001420maganda ang ginagawa
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001421ng DSWD
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001422pertaining to
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001423addressing poverty
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001424in our country
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001425but somewhat
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001426the statistics
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001427na ginagamit
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001428eh problematic
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001429kasi nga hindi siya
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001430makatotohanan
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001431o malayo sa realidad.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001432Ang nice pong itanong
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001433ng kinatawang ito
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-001440dito sa
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001441poverty stats na ito

asr-001444i-identify
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001445ng DSWD
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001446ano yung mga
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001447specific programs
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001448na nakapag-contribute
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-001450ng poverty incidents,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001452were reached,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001453doon sa mga programa.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001454Yun po,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001455Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001456We agree with
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001457the observation
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001458of Your Honor,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001459Madam Speaker,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001460as far as

asr-001461the poverty incidents
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001462is concerned
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001463and the threshold
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001464set.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001465But,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001466as of now,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001467we're still working
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001468on the previous
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001469number
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001470which is 15.5.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001471Based on the 2023
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001472survey,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001473rather than the new one
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001474which is below 10%.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001475On top of that,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001476identification of
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001477poor families
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001478that should be included
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001479or will be included
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001480under the four-piece program
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001481which is the cornerstone
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001482of our
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001483intergenerational
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001484poverty
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001485reduction.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001487With the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001488the four-piece program.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001489There's usually
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001490an additional number
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001491that the department
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001492is doing
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001493not confining itself
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001494on the number of
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001495the specified
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001496poverty persons.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001497percentile or level that's why the department usually tops 10 of the near poor to in a way
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001498to expand and address that possibility that your honor may be looking forward
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001499aside from this there is the usual ix that be there or available anytime as a temporary relief
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001500measure which we can provide one one example of of this for this year is the new program uplift
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001501which technically was conceptualized to augment
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001502for peace beneficiaries near poor and
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001503the low-income group with due to the existing crisis that they had been experiencing lately and
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001504these are the key programs that the department may be looking forward to another possibility
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001505just in case
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001506crisis like this would crop up in the near future so there's also a study your honor
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001507from the world bank that for peace indeed is doing its share in reducing poverty in the country
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001508this study showed that 2.2 percent is could be attributed to four piece on the poverty reduction
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001509that we are experiencing today, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001510Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001511I agree na the CCT program
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001512through 4Ps talagang napatunayan na may malaking impact sa
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001513poverty reduction and it is a good
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001514development, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001515na
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001516kinikilala
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001517po ng butihing
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001518sponsor ng DSWD
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001519through the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001520sponsor,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001521yung observation natin
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001522doon sa ginagamit na poverty stats ng economic managers natin.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001523Kasi talagang mahirap po paniwalaan yung ginagamit ng economic managers,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001524not to the fault of the SWD, but it is the fault of DepDev.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001525Kasi sila ang nakatoka dyan.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001526Walang maniniwala talaga na P97 per person per day, hindi ka na mahirap.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001527Kaya nga po may hamon tayo sa economic managers natin.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001528Kung naniniwala sila na P97 per person per day, hindi ka na mahirap,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001529kapipangalang siguro ng mga economic managers natin,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001530lagpas na dito sa ginagamit nila na poverty statistics.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001531At maganda po na nilatag ng DSWD through the sponsor,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001532yung mga measures o mga interventions na nakakatulong sa pagpapababa ng poverty incidents natin.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001533Moving on, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001534May recent statement po si BSP Governor Eli Remolona.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001535Ang banggit po ni BSP Governor, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001536kaya daw po halos mawalang savings.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001537Basically, if we're going to paraphrase it,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001538bakit mahirap ang sitwasyon ng mga pamilya,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001539kasi daw Madam Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, mayabang daw ang mga Pilipino.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001540Palagastos daw ang mga Pilipino.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001541And take note, this is coming from the highest paid public official in our land.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001542Earning 52 million pesos at least per year.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001543So, what would be the position?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001544What would be the position of DSWD through the sponsor regarding this irresponsible statement?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001545Would the DSWD through the sponsor agree that in its own experience and data available,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001546eh hindi naman ang problema yung paggastos, kundi Pilipinos are not really earning well.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001547So, it's not a question of them consuming more.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001548But it is a question of, are they earning enough?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001549So, what would be the position of DSWD regarding this through the sponsor, Madam Speaker?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001550The department does not agree with that position, Your Honor.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001551In fact, it was observed by the department that Pilipinos, particularly the poor Pilipinos,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001552those that are the clients of the department, are struggling so much to find its way
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001553so that they can have a better life, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001554Thank you, Madam Speaker, and thank you to the DSWD sa ganyang statement po.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001555Alam nyo, napaka-responsable kasi, Madam Speaker, ng ganyang statement sa isang opisyal na pinapasahod ng mga manggagawat ordinaryong Pilipino.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001556Nasasabihin nila, Madam Speaker, nakasalanan daw ng mga pamilyang Pilipino kung bakit hindi sila makapagtapos.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001557At bakit sila nagihirap?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001558In fact, we are, this representation, Madam Speaker, is challenging the BSP governor
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001559na subukan niya muna na mabuhay gaya ng isang manggagawa, minimum wage earner.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001560Lumabas-labas siya sa opisina niya para malaman niya na yung pinagsasabi,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001561ng BSP, ay hindi lapat sa realidad.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001562At napakaganda po ng posisyon ng DSWD being the agency at the forefront of reducing poverty
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001732of questions regarding supplementary
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001733feeding. Madam
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001734Speaker, the budget for
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001735the supplementary feeding program is
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001736being reduced from
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001737approximately 9.564
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001738billion pesos
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001739in fiscal year
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-0017402026 to
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-0017416.359
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001742billion pesos in 2027
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001745Ito yung reduction na
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001746naganap dito.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001748at 1.899
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-001755Madam Speaker?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001756It would be done by reducing
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001757the number of days, Madam
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001758Speaker, Your Honor, from 180

asr-001992the temporary
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001993intervention uplift
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-001994as a result of the national emergency

asr-001998Social Welfare and Development.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002000will be
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002001continuing
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002002the process until December.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002003So there are
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002004a total of
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0020057.5 million
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002006potential beneficiaries
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002007out of the uplift program
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002008that includes there the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0020093.5 million
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002010four-piece beneficiaries.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002011And
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002012among those that were included
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002013are the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002014CBMS-4
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002015which doesn't have
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002016been included in any
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002017existing
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002018DSWD programs
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002019including the near-poor.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002020As was said earlier,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002021the four-piece
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002022also includes
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002023some,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002024in some way,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002025non-poor individuals.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002026The department did not stick on the number of families that are below the poverty line but also include 10% of the non-poor.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002027The same way, low-wage or low-income, whether with the SS registry, were also included in the uplift program.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002028They are the third group of the three groups of potential beneficiaries.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002029And until December, they will be received.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002030They will be receiving the benefit package under this program, which is P2,000 a month.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002031So, it is hoped that in some way, this could mitigate the impact of the crisis that are being experienced by the country right now.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002032Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002033At sa inyo pong pinakahuli na pagpupulong ng uplift, napag-usapan po ba ang tungkol sa
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002034posible na suspension at pagbabawas ng excise taxes sa petroleum products?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002035At ano po ba ang posisyon dito ng DSWD?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002036Nakita po natin na nanggaling na rin po sa inyo na hindi lang po ang mga pinaka-mahihirap ang pinaka-apektado.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002037Nandyan din ang mga near-poor, ang struggling natin na middle class dahil po sa epekto ng mataas na presyo ng langis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002038Maari ba natin malaman kung merong tindig? May posisyon po ba ang DSWD hinggil sa pagbabawas?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002039O yung temporary suspension ng ating excise taxes sa petroleum products, lalong-lalo na po sa diesel at gasoline.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002040Sa ngayon po kasi, ang sinuspindi lang na anunsyo ay para lang sa LPG at kerosene, pero hindi po sakop yung diesel at gasolina na lubos na ginagamit ng ating transport sector,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002041mga manggagawa, mga magsasaka, mga manginisda, at iba pang affected sectors.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002042Madam Speaker, Your Honor, the Department regrets to address that issue.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002043I would rather refer such to the concerned agency.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002044But the Department is very much committed from its part to address those that are in need in this time of crisis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002045Maraming salamat. Madam Speaker, narinig po natin na milyon-milyon yung naaabot ng mga dagdag tulong sa panahon ng krisis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002046Ngunit ngayon po, sa ilalim ng National Energy Emergency, mga nga ilangan ng mas malawak na sakop ang mga pantulong sa ating mga kababayan,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002047lalong-lalo na sa panahon ngayon na hindi lang po mga baralita, kundi marami po ang ating mga kababayan na lubos na dumadain sa hirap ng buhay,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002048sa taas ng presyo ng bilihin, na ang laki po ng epekto.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002049ng pagkataas ng presyo ng lanis.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002050Ngayon po, tungkol naman sa iba na mahalagang nausapin.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002051Ang Pilipinas po ay nagratipika ng Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance sa taong 2022.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002052At nagagalak po tayo na ang DSWD ang natakda na Philippine Central Authority tungkol dito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002053Mahalaga ito sa paghabol ng pagliligay.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002054Itiyak na yung mga request at yung mga kaso na incoming at outgoing na may kinalaman sa child support
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002055at paghingi pa na ibang forma ng family maintenance support ay natitiyak natin na may tulong yung ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002056Maari po bang malaman kung ano na ang status ng trabaho ng ating International Child Support Secretariat?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002057Ito po ba ay may sapat na pondo na kinakailangan?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002058Kailangan para matugunan yung mga kaso na may kinalaman sa mga request for international child support.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002059So after the ratification, the concerned agency has been doing it for a while.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002060For the past three years.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002061And at least about 100 cases for child support have been addressed by the agency.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002062Cross-border and both incoming and outgoing.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002063Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002064Sapat po ba sa ngayon ang ating mga personel?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002065Meron ba tayong office na maaaring puntahan?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002066Ano po ba yung request para sa susunod na taon para matiyak na tuloy-tuloy ang trabaho,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002067ang serbisyo na may kinalaman sa pagpunan ng ating obligasyon sa ilalim ng nasabing convention?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002070So the Department of Social Welfare is doing it through its central authority.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002083Yeah, there's a secretariat dedicated for that matter, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002084Madam Speaker, hingi na lang po tayo ng status ng implementation ng DSWD bilang Philippine Central Authority sa konbensyon na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002085At yung detailya na rin po kung meron tayong coordination, kung meron po tayong convergence programs sa iba pong mga departamento
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002086para matiyak po natin yung ganap na pagtugon sa obligasyon sa nasabing konbensyon.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002087Ngayon naman po sa pagharap dito sa kapulungan na ito ng CHR, na ibahagi po nila yung mga nakakabahala na kaso ng abuso at torture sa mga bata, sa mga bahay pag-asa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002088Nalaman na po ba ito ng DSWD? Ano po ang aksyon na ating ginagamit?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002089Meron na ba itong sinagawa? Meron na bang investigasyon? At meron na ba tayong napanagot pagdating dito?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002090Nakakabahala po ang kanilang naging ulat at nais ko lang pong basahin para sa record natin.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002091Nito pong Abril ng taong ito, ang CHR po nag-flag ng seryosong mga gaps na kailangan punan sa implementation ng Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002092At isa po dito ay may kinalamang,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002093dun sa mga kaso ng abuso sa loob mismo ng mga bahay pag-asa facilities.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002094Kabilang po dito ang ill-treatment by facility personnel.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002095Ang facilities ay nadisenyo ng para pong mga kulungan
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002096imbis na mga ligtas na espasyo para sa mga bata.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002097Sinabi rin po nila yung inadequate living conditions,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002098mga problema na may kinalaman sa nutrisyon,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002099mga delays sa resolusyon ng mga cases
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002100at limitadong access sa kalusugan at sa edukasyon.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002101Maari po ba nating malaman kung ano ang aksyon
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002102ng DSWD, ng JJWC at ng mga relevant po natin ng mga bodies
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002103sa nakakabahala na report na ito?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002104Madam Speaker, Your Honor, as far as the department is concerned,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002105there were no reported abuses that had reached the department.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002166lagi po sa ating ibabahagi ng ating mga local government units,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002167halimbawa po,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002168sa pagpapatupad ng monthly cash subsidy sa Expanded Solo Parents Benefits and Welfare Act,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-002190sa ating mga sustained neighborhood place, at marami pang iba na sinusuportahan ng DSWD.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002269ang pinakamalaking

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002272kulay blue, that would
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002273be the Pantawid Pamilya Program.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002274So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002275sa simula
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002276ng programa, noong 2016,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002277hindi yan yung simula, pero
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002278that was the early
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002279years of the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002280kung babaybay natin ng history,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002281nagsimula as sort of a pilot
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002282implementation sa ilalim
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002283ni Arroyo, tapos
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002284in-scale up
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002285sa panahon ni
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002286Aquino. Naalala ko,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002287nagde-defend na nun ang budget ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002288DSWD, ang ating
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002289nagalang-galang na sponsor.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002290So, ilan po yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002291beneficiaryo noon?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002292Noon hanggang ngayon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002293Noon at ngayon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002294Beneficiaries po ng 4Ps.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002295At the start?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002296At the start?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002297I think when it started
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002298at about 300,000
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002299during the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002300Arroyo investigation.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002301And then it
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002302scaled up in 2011.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002303Yes.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002304I think that reached
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002305a
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002306It reached to
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002307over a million.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002308If I'm not mistaken, it's
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002309somewhere
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0023101 or 2 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002311Okay. At ngayon po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002312sige po, kung may
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002313para trip down
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002314memory lane tayo.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002315So, 2010, it scaled up to 1 million,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002316then 2 million,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002317then successively,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002318it
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002319somehow
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002320the 2 at the 4.4 or less 4.5.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002321Oh.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002322But the target for this year was reduced to 3.5.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002323Ilan na po?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002324Ilan na po?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0023253.5.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0023263.5. Reduced to 3.5.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002327As some beneficiaries had graduated about 1.7 plus.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002328I graduated from the program.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002329May gumraduate sa program.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002330And lowering of the poverty incidents also had contributed to the lowering of the targets,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002331for the honor of Madam Speaker.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002332And as of this year,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002333the target is at 3.5.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002334Yeah.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002335We should also note that there is also a shift on the database system from the National Household Targeting System or NHTS-PR to CBMS which was implemented or which was made available on the later part of 2025.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002336Alright. So, nagsimula sa 700,000.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002337So, it started with 300,000.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002338300,000. Panahon ni Arroyo. Tapos Aquino, scaled up. 1 million, naging 2 million and then more or less nag-stabilize at around 4 million for many years.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002339Over 4 million and it was, kailan po bumaba to the current 3.5 na lang po?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002340The target was reduced this year at 3.5.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002341Naging 3.5 this year for the various reasons you mentioned.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002342Okay. So, anyway.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002343Kaya makikita po natin more or less.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002344No, yung pag, well, hindi na natin makita yung simula kasi hanggang 2016 lang ito eh.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002345Pero nandoon na tayo dun sa level for the most part na around 4 million yung target beneficiaries ng 4Ps.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002346And then we begin to see a significant shift in the composition of the Ayuda budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002347Especially,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002348in the later period of the Duterte administration and especially markedly under the current administration.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002349Ano po yung ibig natin sabihin?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002350Well,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002351makikita po natin, una, yung paglaki ng orange.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002352Ano yung orange?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002353Yun pong AX.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002354No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002355So, in 2016,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002356in 2016,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002357yung AX po ay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002358nasa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002359697.5 million.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002360No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002361That's 1% of the 2016 GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002362But, we notice,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002363unti-unti, lumalaki yung AX.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002364No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002365So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002366ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002367for example by 2020 ay naging 8.7 billion na siya and especially in the last year of the Duterte administration,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002368the last budget of the Duterte administration naging, that is 2022, naging 39 billion and then a peak of,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002369ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00237063 billion under,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002371in the 2026, in the current budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002372No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0023732026.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002374Ah, ngayon may proposal for 33 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002375Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002376Parang kalahati nung, ah, at least yung proposed ay kalahati nung nasa 2026.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002377Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002378So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002379yung increase ng AX budget
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002380for,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002381over one decade,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002382from, ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002383697 million to a high of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00238463 billion,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002385that's a 9,000% increase.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002386No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002387Times 90.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002388Ganung kalaki po ang naging increase nito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002389Ahm,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002390isa pang observation natin ay,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002391yung increase na to ay gawa ng congressional intervention.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002392No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002393Makikita natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002394again,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002395in the earlier years in this graph,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002396kung ano yung nasa NEP,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002397yun din yung kaliwa at kanan niya.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002398No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002399NEP and GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002400Kung ano yung nasa NEP,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002401ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002402for the most part,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002403ay nasusunod sa GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002404With very minimal, if ever,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002405meron pa kang bawas in the case of 2017,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002406for example.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002407Pero starting in, ah, 2020,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002408of course, we understand, pandemic year siguro.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002409Pandemic year siguro yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002410Although hindi, yung budget na yan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002411hindi pa pre-pandemic pa ginawa yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002412So hindi.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0024132020,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002414ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002415but especially,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002416ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002417starting in the last budget of Duterte,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002418and
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002419ramping up
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002420in, under this administration,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002421ay, ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002422naging mas markado
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002423yung mga congressional, ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002424so-called, intervention,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002425some would call it insertion,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002426some would call it amendments,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002427no.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002428Ah...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002429pero mainly yung congressional intervention pinapalaki yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002430at iba pang programa ng ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002431No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002432At, ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002433of course.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002434So kasama dyan yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002435paglaki ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002436AICS, in 2024 and 2025 in particular, yung pagdagdag ng programa na purely Kongreso ang nagpasok, yan yung ACAP.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002437So that's why you see
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002438this, let's call that
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002439yellow
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002440bar.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002441Dalawang taon, 2024
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002442and 2025, nagkaroon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002443ng kapang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002444So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002445tawagin po natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002446ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002447mahati po natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002448ang ayuda budget
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002449ng DSWD
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002450into
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002451two.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002452So, sabihin natin yung isat
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002453to use a favorite term
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002454of DPWH,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002455the parametric
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002456ayuda, meaning to say
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002457may objective
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002458criteria. Diba? Yan ay yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002459nasa mga database
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002460based on
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002461poverty
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002462level
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002463and so on.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002464May registry pa yan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002465So, yan yung four piece.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002466Tapos, yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002467isa naman,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002468ay patronage based.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002469Meaning,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002470nakabatay sa mga listahan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002471ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002472ultimately ng mga politiko.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002473Yan yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002474AICS. Of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002475yung AICS,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002476alam na natin na matagal na rin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002477debate ito, kaugnay sa AICS,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002478sasabihin ng DSWD,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002479merong criteria yan na sinusunod.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002480Pero,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002481alam din naman,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002482it's sort of an open secret,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002483na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002484for the most part, access to
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002485AICS ay pinakamadali
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002486through
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002487mga politiko.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002488So, ito yun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002489So, in other words, ang nakikita nating trend,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002490especially under the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002491Marcos Jr. administration,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002492ay yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002493in fact, at one point,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0024942023,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002495lumaki yung AICS
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002496at lumihit pa nga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002497yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002498actually, that's
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002499through of 2022,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00250023, 24, 25,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002501kinanibalize pa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002502ng AICS
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002503yung four-piece budget.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002504AICS at ACAP.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002505So, really, what
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002506we can say
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002507is the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002508significant
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002509accomplishment of the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002510Marcos Jr.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002511administration
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002512is the politicization
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002513of,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002514ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002515welfare benefits.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002516So, mas lumaki
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002517significantly yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002518ayuda na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002519dumadaan sa politiko.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002520Or, another way of putting it,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002521pork barrelization
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002522of ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002523Yan po ang nakita natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002524Another observation,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002525yun namang nangyari sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002526sustainable livelihood
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002527program.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002528In 2016,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002529nasa almost,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002530almost 10 billion ang level niya.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0025319.6 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002532It was 13%
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002533of the total GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002534Pero, kita natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002535over the years,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002536ay paliit ng paliit yung green.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002537So that,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002538in 2026, the current fiscal year,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002539it's at 5.3
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002540billion pesos na lamang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002541So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002542in fact,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002543that's a 45% decline.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002544So, we would expect,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002545and as designed,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002546dapat,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002547di ba sabi,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002548ang concept ng sustainable livelihood program
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002549ay ito yung para sa mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002550gagraduate
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002551sa four piece program
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002552bilang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002553pantulong sa kanila.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002554Di ba? Para
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002555tuluyan ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002556makalaya
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002557sa kahirapan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002558Dahil bibigyan sila
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002559ng kabuhayan. So, you would expect,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002560na dapat, papalaki ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002561Over the years.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002562Pero sa halip, kabaliktaran.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002563Papaliit.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002564Nangalahati nga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002565ang pondo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002566And instead,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002567lumaki yung pork barrel.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002568Ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002569So, sa halip na,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002570anong ibig sabihin? Anong isang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002571interpretasyon yan? Sa halip na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002572tulungan ng gobyerno na maging
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002573independent, yung mga gagraduate,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002574ay tinuruan na maging dependent
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002575sa politiko.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002576Dahil doon nilagay ang pondo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002577No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002578So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002579um,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002580a third point,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002581or third observation
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002582from this data is that
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002583from its inception,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002584ang concept ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002585four piece, generally,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002586yung mga ayuda programs ng gobyerno,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002587including and especially
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002588the four piece and center piece
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002589ayuda program,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002590sinasabi pa lagi doon na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002591these are safety nets.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002592These are the social safety nets
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002593of government. Tama po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002594Diba? Noong mga debate noon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002595madalas na yan ang description natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002596safety net ng gobyerno.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002597Safety nets,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002598why are they called safety nets?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002599Well,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002600isa, safety net dahil daw sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002601safety net dahil daw sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002602Alimbawa, pag may mga kalamidad, o pag may gera, conflict.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002603But also, and principally, safety nets, as designed, mula yan sa konsepto pa ng World Bank, ADB, and so on.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002604Mga nagtutulak, let us recall, programa ito ng World Bank, ADB, itong four-piece program.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002605As designed, they are safety nets that go hand-in-hand with the implementation of free market reforms, free market economic reforms.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002606So habang pinatutupad yung liberalization ng ekonomiya, yun na nga.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002607Halimbawa, yung pag-tanggal ng mga proteksyon sa local farmers.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002608Dahil bubuksan yung merkado.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002609Yung ginawa ng halimbawa, rice tarification, taripa na, wala nang limit sa importation.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002610So ang konsepto, free market yan, kayaan ng merkado ang mag-decide.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002611Kung mas may bentahe yung ibang bansa, mas mura sila mag-produce, mas mabuti, ganoon na lang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002612Paano yung lokal na magsasaka? Ang sabi, safety net.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002613So meron tayong four-piece.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002614So ganoon po yung concept that is built into the concept of ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002615Ngayon, ano po ang nakikita natin?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002616Ang nakikita natin ay sa halip na lumiit ang safety nets, ay lumalaki ang safety net ng gobyerno.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002617So in other words, sa halip na nagkakaroon ng pangmatagalang pagtugon sa kahirapan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002618o yung, let's say, poverty eradication, yung nawawala yung kahirapan, na-eliminate yung kahirapan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002619essentially, ang nangyayari sa ilalim ng four-piece, yung poverty alleviation.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002620Nananatili silang mahirap, pero masasabi sa statistics na umaangat dahil sa ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002621Hindi dahil nagkaroon ng trabaho.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002622Nagkaroon ng trabaho ang ating mga magsasaka sa agrikultura, sa sektor ng agrikultura,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002623or nagkaroon ng trabaho o mga gawa because of manufacturing jobs.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002624Hindi.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002625Sa halip, nananatiling mataas ang unemployment and underemployment,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002626at naiibsan ang kahirapan dahil sa ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002627So yun yung isa pang observation natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002628In other words,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002629yung paglaki
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002630ng ayuda,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002631ay indikasyon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002632o sintoma
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002633ng kabiguan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002634ng gobyerno.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002635Hindi lang ng gobyernong ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002636All
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002637this includes,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002638obviously previous administrations,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002639kabiguan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002640na magbigay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002641ng tunay na solusyon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002642sa kahirapan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002643Habang pinatutupad,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002644yung mga free market
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002645reform,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002646reforms, nasasagasaan, nawawalan ng trabaho at kabuhayan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002647ang mga magsasaka, ang mga manggagawa, minibigyan sila ng ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002648Panghuling observation po natin ay sinabi natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002649nag-increase by 145% yung ayuda budget ng DSWD lang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002650over this past decade.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002651During the first day of plenary deliberations,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002652pinoint out natin, paano naging posible yan?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002653Yung ganitong paglaki ng ayuda budget, well, naging posible dahil sa utang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002654So, yung paglaki ng utang, paglaki ng deficit spending,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002655and that allowed for expansion of ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002656So, yung essentially, ang sinasabi po natin, may problema,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002657sa four-piece, specifically, and ayuda programs more generally,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002658hindi lang dito sa DSWD, kundi sa tupad ng DOLE at iba pa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002659may problema kung yan ang centerpiece ng poverty alleviation strategy
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002660ng gobyerno.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002661Hindi po, wala pong alleviation ng kahirapan kung nakabatay ito sa ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002662Ngayon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002663ano po ang masasabi ng sponsor,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002664hindi po ba dapat panahon na iwasto natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002665at itigil na,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002666ang patuloy na paglaki ng ayuda na nakabatay sa patronage.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002667Yung dumadaan sa politiko.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002668At nakikita natin, kongreso ang gumagawa niyan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002669ang nagpapalaki ng AICS in particular.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002670May epekto ito sa pananatili ng mga political dynasties,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002671sa bilihan ng boto sa panahon ng eleksyon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002672kaya Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker, at ginawag sponsor,

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002742The initial target was supposed to be 10B.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002778Yes, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002779Okay. So, hanggang doon na lang,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002780doon na lang ba, bakit mas malaki pa?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002781ang hinihingi ng ayuda
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002782kesa pang kabuhayan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002783Sabi nga, di ba,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002784teach a man to fish,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002785teach a woman to fish.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002786O di, hindi ba ganun dapat?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002787Sa halip na tumanggap ng ayuda,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002788ay tulungan na magkaroon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002789ng sariling kabuhayan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002790Di pa nga natin pinag-uusapan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002791yung talagang pang matagalang mga trabaho,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002792whether sa agrikultura
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002793or sa manufacturing.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002794Ito, we're just talking about livelihood.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002795Bakit po hindi natin makita
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002796sa DSWD
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002797ang major scaling up
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002798of the sustainable livelihood program?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002799Bakit pork barrel pa rin yan, ayuda?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002800Patronage, dependence.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002801Bakit po ganun?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002802The request was projected
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002803because of the uncertainty
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002804that we are experiencing right now.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002805Let's take the
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0028062026 situation.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002807With the national emergency,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002808[unclear] was conceptualized.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002809And this, in a way,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002810had benefited
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002811about more than 7 million
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002812individuals and families.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002813Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002814All these were sourced out
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002815from the so-called AECS.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002816So, AECS is there
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002817purposely
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002818to provide immediate,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002819temporary relief,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002820Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002821Nothing more, nothing less.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002822Just this year,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002823about 9 billion
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002824were served to
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-0028251.9 million
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002826transport workers
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002827out of this AECS.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002828Madam Speaker, Your Honor.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002829Yes, walang duda
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002830na yan ang ginamit
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002831para makapagbigay ng ayuda
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002832especially during the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002833oil price increases
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002834due to the war,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002835the U.S. war
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002836on Iraq,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002837on Iran, di ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002838Pero gayunpaman,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002839pinakita naman natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002840na long-term trend talaga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002841na dinidefund
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002842ninyo ng DSWD mismo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002843Mas maliit ang proposal nyo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002844para sa SLP,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002845Sustainable Livelihood Program.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002846So, at most,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002847ang hinihingi nyo nga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002848ay maibalik lang sa 2016 level.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002849Hindi pa nga lumaki.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002850Ibig sabihin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002851mas maliit ang hinihingi nyo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002852dahil yung value nito
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002853ay pihamak na mas maliit na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002854kesa nung 2016.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002855Alam naman natin yun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002856So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002857yun po ang pinakapuna natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002858among others
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002859in this specific request.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002860You're asking for an additional
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00286130 billion for ayuda
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002862but only 5 billion
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002863for SLP.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002864Samantalang,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002865kahit sa sarili nyo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002866disenyo ng programa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002867ay dapat
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002868palakihin ito para matiyak
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002869na mas marami talagang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002870gagraduate sa programa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002871at makatitiyak
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002872na mananatiling
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002873nakatataas ang antas sa buhay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002874kesa sa poverty level.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002875So, patapos na po ang oras ko
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002876kaya mabilis lang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002877nilipat po tayo sa isang specific
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002878item or program in your budget
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002879and that would be the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002880monthly pension for seniors.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002881Sa ngayon po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002882magkano yung social pension

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002884For senior citizens na pinupondohan

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002929O, kailan po sinet yung level na 1,000?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002930Last year.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002931Last year, Your Honor.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002932Originally, magkano po yan?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002933500.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002934So, last year, in increase to 1,000.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002935Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002936Kakay-increase lang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002937Wala po bang proposal for
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002938another increase?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002939No?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002940The target is to
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002941realize a universal
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002942social pension, Your Honor, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002944Expand the coverage.
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002945Expand the coverage.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002946Pero, baka, hindi po ba kasama sa target
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002947yung increasing the amount?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002948Kasi yung 1,000 a month po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002949ay kapos na kapos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002950No?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002952the universal coverage,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002953we may think of
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002954increasing again the...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002955Magkano ang kailangan for universal coverage?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002956And how many
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002957additional beneficiaries
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002958would be needed for universal
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002959coverage?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002960Most likely,
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002961double the existing amount.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002962So, 2,000 pesos at gano'ng karami?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002963I mean, if we try to
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002964reach everybody...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-002965And by everybody, ilan po yun?
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.
asr-002966That would double.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003446ang yakap package, sa kasalukuyang
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003447anyo nito, ay tunay na
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003448komprehensibo?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003449O baka rebranding lang ito,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003450Madam Speaker, na
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003451walang sapat na pondo
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003452at gamot sa mga health centers,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003454Madam Speaker,

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003456strategy para sa

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003463is predictable. So,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003464key reforms include
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003465professional fee standardization,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003466number two,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003484Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003485Tumungo naman po tayo sa PhilHealth,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003486pero yung mga particular po na tanong ko
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003487about earmarking will be
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003488raised later by my colleagues
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003489in the minority.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003490Last September 16, 2026,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003491the Department of Budget
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003492and Management made a social
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003493media post about the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003494PhilHealth budget, and
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003495this was covered by the Philippine News
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003496Agency that the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-00349774.45
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003498billion proposed
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003499budget for PhilHealth is
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003500the national government's premium
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003501subsidies for
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-00350211.09 million
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003503qualified beneficiaries.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003504This is more
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003505realistic considering that the premiums
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003506for indirect contributors
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003507is almost the same
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003508as the premiums for
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003509the lowest income floor
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003510of the direct beneficiaries.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003511However,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003512nakapag-lista po, nakapagtala
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003513ang PhilHealth ng
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-00351430.74
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003515indirect contributors.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003516Ano pong nangyari
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003517dito sa 19 million other indirect
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003518contributors, and why
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003519were their premiums
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003520not subsidized by the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003521national government despite
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003522the clear language of
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003523RA 11223?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003524Madam Speaker,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003525karugtong din po nito
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003526ay sino po ang nagde-decide?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003527Who decides among the 30.74
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003528million indirect contributors
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003529are subsidized by the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003530national government, and
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003531who gets removed from the list?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003532Thank you, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003533Distinguished Colleague. Kasi pag bin-rake
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003534down po natin yung in-assign na amount
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003535ng DBM, it will cover
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003536the number that
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003537they presented,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003538which is 11 million,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003539um, beneficiaries.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003540Pero, in essence,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003541iko-cover din naman lahat ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003542PhilHealth dahil
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003543sa universal healthcare,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003544covered po sila. So, hindi po magiging
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003545problema ito, Madam Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003546Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003547During the House Committee on Appropriations
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003548hearing, PhilHealth mentioned
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003549a minimum required subsidy of
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003550P244 billion
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003551based on this year's
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003552projected benefit payouts,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003553but the,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003554the 2027 fiscal
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003555year provided
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003556only P74.45
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003557billion pesos,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003558leaving a
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003559P170 billion pesos
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003560shortfall.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003561So, PhilHealth has already depleted
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003562its reserves in 2025,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003563and is projected to dip further
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003564in 2026,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003565pushing its reserve
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003566fund well below the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003567mandatory statutory ceiling set
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003568by the Universal Healthcare Act.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003569So, knowing po that the PhilHealth
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003570needs an additional P170 billion
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003571pesos simply to reach
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003572break-even,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003573di po ba dapat
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003574ang Kongresong ito ay mag-provide
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003575ng additional
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003576funding or sapat na funding to prevent
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003577PhilHealth from further
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003578draining its reserves?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003579Madam Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003580Yes, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003581the position of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003582PhilHealth is that
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003583they need to collect more,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003584from the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003585National Government, what is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003586earmarked for PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003587At the same time, kailangan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003588mas efficient din po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003589yung collection dun sa paying
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003590members. That is why,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003591to do this, they
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003592are engaging
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003593SSES, Pag-ibig Members,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003594BIR,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003595so that they can
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003596make the collection sa mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003597paying members
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003598more efficient. So, dalawa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003599po yung target, and hopefully,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003600ay makapag-produce po ito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003601ng additional
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003602funds for
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003603the PhilHealth.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003604Madam Speaker,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003605would the
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003606sponsor agree or commit to
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003607introducing amendments
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003608to address this P170 billion pesos
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003609shortfall before
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003610the final approval of this
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003611General Appropriations Bill, Madam Speaker?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003612Personally, I and the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003613sponsor of PhilHealth would be in favor of this.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003614But it will depend on
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003615the Committee and our
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003616members. Madam Speaker,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003742Madam Speaker, tama po
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003743na binanggit ng DOH
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003744through the sponsor na meron pong mga
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003745inilabas na department
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003746circulars.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003747Ang tanong po ng representasyon
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003748ito, maaari po bang
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003749bigyang kalinawan ng DOH
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003750through the sponsor
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003751magkano ang nailagak
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003752na pondo sa mga nagdaang
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003753taon kahit nung previous
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003754fiscal year at papaano ito
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003755makikita o magre-reflect
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003756sa proposed
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003757fiscal year 2027
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003758budget? Kasi
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003759isang bagay na naglabas ng
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003760circular, isang bagay din na
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003761nilalagakan natin ito ng pondo
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003762para matiyak po natin na talagang
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003763nangyayari ito. Ang
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003764punto de vista kasi dito Madam Speaker
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003765hindi naman
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003766pag pinag-usapan natin ang accessibility
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003767hindi lang naman ito yung simple
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003768built environment
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003769for the persons with disabilities.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003770Dapat natitiyak din natin na kapag may pumasok tayo dyan na kabaro, kababayan, na deaf, dapat nagkakaintindihan din sila ng doktor, naiintindihan din nila yung nurse, naiintindihan nila yung mga proseso.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003771In reality po kasi, Madam Speaker, sa katotohanan, hindi po ito nangyayari. Sa dami po ng mga ospital, sa mga liblib na lugar kung saan meron tayong mga deaf persons, ito po yung malaking challenge.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003772So can the sponsor guide us through the appropriations po for the past fiscal year and the fiscal year 2027? Madam Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003773Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003774We understand where our colleague is coming from and rightly so.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003775Ngayon po kasi naka-incorporate sa various health program ang pondo para rito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003776So kung mamarapatin po ng ating distinguished colleague, Madam Speaker, isa-segregate po ng DOH and if we can submit a report, kasi ngayon po naka-incorporate,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003777pero ihiwalay po natin yung program para dito para makita po ng ating kasamahan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003778Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003779Magandang bagay po na nabanggit na magsasubmit po ng report ang kagawaran through the sponsor.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003780And we welcome that po. As soon as possible po, sana ma-furnish ang kinatawang ito ng report na ito.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003781Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003782Dahil po ang kinatawang ito ay kumakatawan sa mga manggagawa at binanggit nyo nga po na sumusunod ang kagawaran,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003783particular dito sa FSL Act Provisions, kasama ba ang mga FSL interpreters sa ating Human Resource for Health Master Plan?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003784Meron po ba tayong nililikhang formal na plantilla positions para sa kanila at sa ating mga state hospitals at DOH retained facilities?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003785Yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003786Ang initiative po ngayon ng DOH regarding this ay,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003787sinetrain yung mga healthcare workers para matuto po dito sa sign language.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003788Para sila po ang tumulong sa ating mga workers, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003789Makikihingi na lang din po ng karampatang dokumento hinggil dito,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003790yung ratio po ng mga FSL trained po natin na mga manggagawa.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003791Alinsunod po sa pahayag ni PBBM ukol sa long-term capacity,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003792ano naman po ang kasalukuyang programa ng kagawaran,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003793kasama ang KWF o Komisyon sa Wikang Pilipino, being the lead agency na nagpapatupad ng FSL Act?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003794At papaano nakikipag-ugnayan po ang DOH sa mga accredited deaf institutions
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003795para magturo ng FSL sa ating mga doktor, NARS at mga administrative staff?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003796Meron po ba tayong budget o meron po bang target ang DOH?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003797Sa ilan?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003798Ang tina-target nito na ma-train for FSL, kasama po ba ito sa plano ng DOH?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003799Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003800Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003801So, ito po yung ginagawa ng DOH with regards to the FSL.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003802Sa health facilities of the DOH and local government units, seek the guidance and assistance of the Komisyon sa Wikang Pilipino
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003803and or University of the Philippines for capacity building of the respective workforce on FSL in accordance with the law.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003804At isa pa po yung ating mga health facilities ng DOH and LGUs in partnership with the relevant stakeholders and community groups,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003805promote awareness and appreciation campaigns on FSL, including the observance of the International Day of Sign Languages every September 23.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003806And we will also submit a report with regards to this, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003807Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maraming salamat po sa distinguished sponsor natin.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003808Dako naman po tayo sa mental health program.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003810Makapag-establish o makapag-develop ng community-based mental health programs for all population groups and especially for children.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003811Ito po ba ang mga inisyatibo ng kagawaran ay makikita natin sa PPAs ng kagawaran?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003812Magkano po ang nailagak ng kagawaran for 2025 and this year?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003813At ano po ang projection o hinihinging budget?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003814Dito para sa susunod na taon, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003815So for 2027, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, meron po tayong nakalagay sa NEP na 3.34 billion for mental health related programs across NCD prevention and control.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003816So ito po para sa governance ng RA-11036 or mental health law, promotion and prevention ng MNS health literacy, peer-to-peer, school and workplace based mental health services, psychological first aid, MHPSS guidelines on ethical portrayal of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003817suicide screening,

asr-003818MNS screening, risk of substance abuse, drug dependency examination, MH access program, community-based mental health and community-based drug rehab program, inpatient and outpatient benefit, sa 432 general mental health providers and 21 specialty mental health providers.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003819Psychologists, 2,128; psychiatrists, 700; DevPed, 104; speech path, 1,225, but only 12 in health facilities.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003820Sa occupational therapists, 3,401 but only 246 in healthcare facilities in the country, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003821Makikihingi na lang din po ng datos na binanggit ko.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003822We will do.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003822-split-2So Pinapatupad, Mr. Speaker, ng Department of Health yung World Health Organization's Mental Health Gap Action Program
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003823para makapag-train ng primary care workers in non-specialized settings.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003824Ano po ang ginagawa ng kagawaran para makapag-train ng primary health care workers under this program, o yung MHGAP, Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003825Sa rugtong din po nito, ay maaari rin po bang mabigyan ang representasyong ito
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003826ng status sa implementation ng Mental Health Strategic Framework 2024 to 2028.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-003828has been expanded to 5,249 MHGAP trained personnel
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003829and
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003830This is about 85.06% of RHUs as of September 2026.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003831Continuous program po ito at tuloy-tuloy lang po ang kanilang ginagawang trainings.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003832Thank you, Mr. Speaker, sa ating kaibigan na sponsor.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003833Sa huling set po ng mga katanungan natin ay papatungkol naman po ito sa Health Human Resource.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003834Sa usapin po ng kalusugan, walang serbisyo kung walang tao.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003835That is a basic fact.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003836Section 23 of the Universal Health Care Act mandates the DOH to formulate and implement
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003837National Health Human Resource Master Plan to ensure the proper generation, recruitment, retooling,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003838deployment, and retention of health workers across all levels of care.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003839Despite this mandate, acute spatial maldistribution, brain drain, and data fragmentation
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003840persist.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003841Across regions.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003842Maari po bang magbigay ng update ang Department of Health tungkol po dito sa Health Human Resource Master Plan?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003843Ang ginagawa po ng ating DOH with regards to this is that meron silang medical education.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003844They're expanding it through 82 medical schools nationwide.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003845Para makapagproduce.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003846Para makapagproduce ng mga healthcare professionals.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003847While government-supported medical scholars increased from 508 in academic year 2017 to 2018 to about 3,507 in academic year 2025-2026.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003848Largely through the...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003849MSRS program.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003850Mr. Speaker, in the interest of time po, ipasok ko na lang ito bilang mga huling katanungan.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003851May plano po ba ang DOH na i-include ang other essential health workers and allied health professionals,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003852sanitation inspectors, emergency medical technicians, and community nutrition workers?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003853And lastly, tungkol naman po sa purok kalusugan, maari po bang makapagbigay na lang ng report
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003854ang kagawaran through the sponsor sa kung pa paano iniimplementaan ang kagawaran ang purok kalusugan?
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003855Kasama na rin kung ano ang ginagawa ng DOH para sa ating mga barangay health workers at sityo coordinators, Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003856Yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003857So, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, we will submit all of those requested data and information.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003858Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003859Nagpapasalamat po tayo sa ating kaibigan na sponsor at binibigyang pansin din po natin ang ating mga kasama sa civil society organizations,
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003860particular ang Social Watch Philippines and Alternative Budget Initiative.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003861Hopefully po ay magpatuloy yung ganitong bukas na talakayan sa pagitan ng kagawaran at ng ating mga stakeholders
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003862sa civil society organizations.
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando
asr-003874With that, Mr. Speaker, maraming salamat po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003875Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003876Thank you, Honorable San Fernando.
Deputy Speaker Alfredo "Albee" B. Benitez
asr-003877Majority Leader.
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu
asr-003878Mr. Speaker, I move that we recognize the Honorable Iris Montes of the Partylist 4K to interpellate on the budget of the DOH.
Deputy Speaker Alfredo "Albee" B. Benitez
asr-003879Representative Iris Montes is recognized to interpellate the sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003880Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003881Magandang.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003882Magandang araw po, kagalang-galang na sponsor at sa mga taga-DOH, PhilHealth and attached agencies.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003883Mr. Speaker, this representation would like to examine the implementation of RA-11223 or the UHC Act
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003884in relation to the proposed 2027 budget of the Department of Health and the PhilHealth.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003885Given the very limited time I have right now and considering that the Congressional Oversight Committee,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003886on universal healthcare, has last convened in 2020, I'd like to take this opportunity to inquire to track the progress of UHC implementation
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003887and identify areas required during urgent policy and budgetary attention.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003888My questions will focus on the principal pillars of the UHC, particularly on financing, governance, service delivery, regulation,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003889and health human resource, kung aabutin pa po ng oras.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003890Specifically, this representation seeks to determine the successes, challenges, and gaps in the implementation of the law
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003891with the objective of ensuring that the 2027 health budget supports the progressive realization of the universal healthcare
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003892as envisioned under RA-11223.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003893Umpisahan ko po sa financing, no?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003894Una kong po tanong,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003895Is the current appropriation for DOH and PhilHealth sufficient to meet the milestones and mandated benefits under the UHC?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003896Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Madam Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003897Of course, funds for DOH and PhilHealth, ganun din po sa ibang ahensya, it will never be sufficient,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003898pero,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003899the leadership, the new leadership of DOH and PhilHealth together with the family
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003900will try to operate more efficiently para mapagkasya at talagang makarating yung serbisyo sa ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003901So, it's never enough, pero kung ano ang nirekomenda ng executive at ibibigay ng ating kongreso ay pagkakasyahin po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003902nila and to the best of their
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003903abilities, ay ibibigay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003904nila yung dapat na servisyo
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003905para sa ating mga mamamayan.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003906Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003907Mr. Sponsor. Naiintindihan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003908ko po ang inyong paliwanag
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003909na lahat naman po ay may
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003910kakulangan. Pero ito po kasing
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003911sa banda, sa PhilHealth at sa UHC,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003912medyo naiiba kasi may
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003913mga earmarks po dito.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003914Doon po nagkakalayo yung
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003915diperensya. Dahil sa bisa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003916ng batas at sa bisa ng
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003917desisyon ng Supreme Court
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003918nung nakalaan in ordering the return
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003919of the 60 billion funds to PhilHealth,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003920sinasabi doon na mga earmark
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003921yung funds na yun. Kaya ang sunod
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003922ko pong tanong, has the national government
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003923provided the full
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003924counterpart contributions
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003925to PhilHealth from
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003926sin taxes, PAGCOR, and
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003927PCSO as mandated
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003928by the law?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003929,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003930Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003931Madam Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003932sa computation po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003933ng ating mga kasama
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003934sa PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003935ang total po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003936kung pwede na po akong
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003948kakulangan po sa sin taxes,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003949sa PAGCOR, and PCSO? Tama po

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003952And to break that down,

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003957sorry, to break down the 199,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003958133.22
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003959billion of that
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003960is from,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003961supposedly from sin taxes
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003962sin tax
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003967Tapos, out of the 199, again,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003968yung 62.22 billion
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003969should be
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003970from PCSO

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003973itong 2019 to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003975So, medyo malaki-laki po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003976Mr. Speaker, Madam Colleen.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003977Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003978Sponsor. Dito po sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003979199 billion
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003980parang arrears or collectibles
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003981ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003982yung sin taxes po natin dito sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003983computation, binangga po natin to
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003984sa actual collections ng
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003985BOF?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003986Tama po.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003987So, actual collections
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003988with, tapos po,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003989yung mga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003990kasama din na po ba dito,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003991yung mga kakulangan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003992sa, nasa GAA,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003993pero hindi na i-release.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003994Yung variance between
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003995GAA and actual
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-003996release, releases.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003997So, to answer the question
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003998of our distinguished
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-003999colleague, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004000yung na-appropriate, pero hindi
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004001na-release, is around
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004002112.048
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004003billion pesos.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004004So, ibig sabihin po, hindi pa yan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004005kasama sa 199, tama po ba?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004006Kasi may variance
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004007po eh. Ang sistema,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004008may collection po ang BOF,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004009ang ibinigay sa GAA,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004010less than the collection,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004011and then dun sa GAA ang ibinigay,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004012hindi pa yung buo, may variance
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004013pa sa actual release.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004014Tama po kayo. Hindi pa po yung kasama
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004015sa 199 billion.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004016So, kung susumahin po natin,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004017199
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004018plus 112
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004019is about
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004020300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004021something billion?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004022311.49 billion,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004023Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004024Madam Colleague.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004025So, sa 300, dito po, kinenta na natin
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004026yung lahat. Ang sunod ko pong tanong,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004027noong taong 2025,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004028na nag-zero
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004029allocation ang PhilHealth,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004030kasama na rin po ba dito?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004031Kasi may collection po ng sin taxes
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004032noon. May collection din
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004033ng PAGCOR, may collection din
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004034ng PCSO, kasama na po ito?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004035Opo, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004036Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004037distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004038So, sa kwenta po ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004039311.4 billion
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004040ang kakulangan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004041ng national government
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004042na dapat nang naibigay
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004043sa PhilHealth. Ang susunod
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004044ko pong katanungan, kung ito
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004045po bang 311.4
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004046billion na ito
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004047na ibigay religiously
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004048ng national government?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004049Nabanggit nyo po kanina yung roadmap
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004050ng mga benepisyo.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004051Ano na po kaya ang nagawa nito
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004052pagdating sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004053pag-expand ng benefits
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004054ng ating mga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004055miyembro ng PhilHealth?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004056Pangalawa,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004057pangalawang katanungan,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004058kung sakaling ito po ay
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004059nakolekta dapat ng buong-buo,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004060palagay nyo po ba
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004061ay naibaba na natin
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004062ang contribution ng mga direct
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004063contributors na
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004064na sinasabi
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004065ng UHC Act,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004066na kung saka-sakaling may sobra,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004067doon dapat yung gagamitin
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004068either sa pag-expand ng benefits
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004069or pagbawas
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004070ng kontribusyon ng mga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004071direct contributors. Thank you,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004072Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004073So,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004074Mr. Speaker, Madam
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004075Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004076well, speculatively, kasi
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004077hindi naman po naibigay,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004078pero kung naibigay,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004079baka malaki po yung mabawas
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004080sa out-of-pocket
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004081ng ating mga pamilya or
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004082individual with regards
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004083to or pagdating sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004084healthcare.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004085Baka 10 to 15
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004086percent ang mababawas
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004087with regards naman doon po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004088sa paying members dahil that
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004089is mandated by law, so
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004090constant lang po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004091yung ating koleksyon
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004092sa kanila.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004093Actually,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004094totoo naman po talaga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004095kasag, parang the heart,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004096and soul of the UHC Act
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004097is to reduce
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004098financial hardships when it comes
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004099to our health.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004100And by doing that, dapat ipinapababa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004101natin yung out-of-pocket
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004102spending. So, ibig sabihin,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004103kung meron tayong
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004104sapat na pondo para sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004105UHC, mas madali natin
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004106mamimit yung milestones
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004107at yung mga mandates na itinalaga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004108ng batas
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004109ng UHC Act. So,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004110it would have been a very,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004111very significant
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004112achievement if the
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004113funds that were supposed
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004114to be given to
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004115the UHC and to PhilHealth
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004116na ibigay po talaga. Ano po?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004117We have no
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004118arguments there, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004119Madam Colleen.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004120Thank you, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004121Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004122Dito pa rin po sa appropriations
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004123ng UHC Act,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004124parang 6
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004125po ang income
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004126streams na
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004127pinanggagalingan ng
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004128universal healthcare.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004129One, we have the
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004130sin taxes, the 50%
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004131share of the
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004132PAGCOR, and the
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-00413340% naman po net charity
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004134fund ng PCSO, and
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004135then the premium contributions of
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004136direct contributors, and then
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004137the appropriations of DOH
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004138and PhilHealth in GAA
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004139para po sa pagpapatupad
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004140ng universal healthcare. At,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004141ang pang-anim po ay
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004142national government
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004143subsidy to PhilHealth
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004144included in GAA.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004145Gusto ko lamang pong liwanagin
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004146sa perspective po ng DOH
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004147ang PhilHealth. Ano po ba ang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004148tinutukoy dito? Kasi parang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004149lumalabas sa mga documents,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004150even from the DBM,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004151tinutukoy nilang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004152subsidy ay yung galing sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004153sin taxes.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004154Tama po ba yung appreciation na yun?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004155Because, Mr. Speaker, I have a
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004156different appreciation
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004157of the specific
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004158provision on letter F.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004159I think, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004160Madam Chair, the DBM would be
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004161in the best position to answer this,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004162pero sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004163evaluation ng ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004164PhilHealth and DOH,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004165parang nagkakaisa nga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004166yung collections,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004167yung earmark, at yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004168subsidies.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004169Kasi, I think, if I
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004170remember some of the answers of the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004171DBM, under the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004172Universal Health Care Act,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004173itong mga collection na ito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004174ay kailangan dumaan sa appropriations.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004175Kaya, parang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004176napagsasama-sama po doon,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004177and I think
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004178the DBM would be in the best position
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004179to provide clarity on this,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004180Mr. Speaker. Thank you,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004181Mr. Chair, distinguished
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004182sponsor. I will be clarifying that with the
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004183DBM, especially with the ruling
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004184of the Supreme Court,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004185maika-clarify. But I just
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004186want to have the sense of the
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004187PhilHealth. Alam po yan ni,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004188I'm sorry, Doc Bev, alam po yan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004189ni Doc Bev, we were together
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004190when we drafted at least
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004191the House version of the UHC
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004192law, because I have a different
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004193understanding of the letter
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004194F in Section 37.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004195Kaya nga po in-identify yan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004196isa-isa to distinguish it
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004197from one another. Kasi ang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004198understanding ko po dyan sa national
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004199subsidy, meron tayong mga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004200special laws na
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004201provide natin, solo parent,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004202senior citizen,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004203provide natin, dapat dyan po yan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004204nakakarga sa subsidy.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004205So, ang pinupunto
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004206ko lamang po,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004207aside from this, dapat po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004208through the years, nagbibigay
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004209pa ang national government
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004210ng subsidiya
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004211para sa sektor at sa mga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004212special laws. So kung
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004213tutuusin mo po, yung pinenta nating
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004214311.4 billion,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004215kulang pa po yun
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004216kung idadagdag natin yun.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004217And to make it even, ano po,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004218even the last paragraph
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004219of Section 37
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004220ay nagsasabi, pag kinulang,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004221pwede in fact
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004222mag-request ang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004223PhilHealth and DBM ng supplemental
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004224funding to meet
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004225the milestones of the UHC.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004226So ang next question ko,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004227despite po sa kakulangan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004228ng mga nakaraan, have we in the
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004229past actually
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004230requested for a
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004231supplemental funding? If
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004232in case, yung hinihingi natin
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004233ngayon sa 2027, hindi
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004234maibigay, magre-request po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004235ba tayo ng supplemental funding?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004241The answer to that, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004242Madam Colleague, is in the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004243affirmative.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004244Magsimula po tayo sa kanilang budget proposal,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004245talagang mas mataas kesa dun sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004246binigay. And
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004247yung mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004248appropriated na hindi na bibigay,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004249regularly po nire-request na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004250ng PhilHealth at ng DOH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004251At ganun din po ang gagawin ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004252new leadership ng PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004253at ng DOH. Regularly po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004254nire-request, pero ang pinakatanong
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004255po, nabibigay po ba?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004259This year po, under the new leadership,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004260meron pong paunti-unting
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004261na ibibigay.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004262Anyway, I have a lot of
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004263issues with financing
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004264for PhilHealth, but I
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004344At ang plano ng ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004345bagong kalihim
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004346ng DOH at
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004347ng ating presidente ng PhilHealth,

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004353well, directly to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004355Ano po? Balak po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004356isama ito as one of the conditions
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004357which is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004358I must say an innovative
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004359idea para
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004360ma-establish po ito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004361in every private
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004362hospital na ma-establish

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004369And,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004370I'm assuming, because we do
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004371this in our province
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004372as well, ang laking
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004375to opt in
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004376in the program
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004377dahil ang laki po nung
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004378financial assistance that they
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004379may receive
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004380para po sa ating mga indigent
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004381patient. Alam naman po natin,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004382libre sa ating mga government hospital,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004383dun pumupunta yung ating mga
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004386na kaso, sa private hospital
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004387po ito pumupunta.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004388So, i-improve pa po natin yung
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004394specialty hospitals, yung
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004396medyo hirap pa rin po tayong
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004397ipatupad na yun, alam ko. So,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004398meron po ba tayong pwedeng
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004399gawin pa para mapabilis
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004400yung pag-implement

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004421ko rin po kung ano na ang estado

asr-004422because the last time I checked,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004423ang sabi po ng PhilHealth sa akin ay nasa

asr-004439basalimuot, yung integration
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004440po ng local health systems.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004441Sa ngayon po ba, ilang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004442probinsya na ang naka-successfully
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004443integrate? Yung mga pilot lang po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004444ba ito?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004476So, Mr. Speaker, Madam Chair,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004477as of now, meron na pong
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00447887 of 120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004481Ang meron na pong special
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004482health fund. So ito po yung meron
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004483ng gumagana ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004486Ito po, naitanong ko sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004488nagpa-submit po ako,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004489itanong ko daw po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004490sa PhilHealth, no.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004491Meron po kasi tayong loan na
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004492kinontract with JICA and ADB.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004493In fact, naka-three packages
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004495Ang pangalan po nun ay,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004510Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004511And PhilHealth po.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004720kinakilangan po talaga na makita
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004721at ma-appreciate natin yung malaking
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004722kakulangan for PhilHealth to be
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004723able to fulfill its mandate
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004724at also to provide
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-004726efficienting servisyo sa ating mga kababayan,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004727lalong-lalo na ang mga indirect
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004728contributors. Dako naman po
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004729ako doon sa mga direct contributors.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004730Ilan pong direct contributors
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004731ang registered sa inyong sistema
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004732at magkano po ang nakukuha nating premium
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004733contributions sa kanila?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004734Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004735Honorable Colleague, yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004736sagot po sa tanong is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00473733.3 million.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004738At magkano po yung nakukuha natin contributions
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004739from our direct contributors,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004740Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004741209 billion,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004742Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004743209 billion, no?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004744So, ilan po ang estimated
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004745contributors natin na nakapagbabayad
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004746consistently ng kanilang contributions.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004747Out of the 33 million members,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004748ilan po dyan yung,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004749ayan po yung ating mga direct contributors,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004750ilan po yung consistently nakakabayad sa kanila?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004751Kahit po prosyento lamang.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004752Ang, in absolute numbers,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004753ang nakakabayad po ng consistent for 12 months
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004754is 10.5 million, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004755Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004756So that's how many percent?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004757That is around 31%.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-00475831%.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004759So talaga po, not even half
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004760yung nakakabayad consistently
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004761ng kanilang premium.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004762Would Phil Health know
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004763kung gano'ng karami ang active and registered contributors po
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004764ng SSS at GSIS?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004765They have a rough estimate, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004766Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004767And according to them,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004768it's around 18 million.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-00476918 million for both SSS and GSIS?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004770That's for SSS and they would need to double check
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004771with regards to the number of members from GSIS.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004772Pasensya na po, medyo mahalaga itong tanong na ito
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004773doon sa point that this representation would like to drive at,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004774Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004775again po, ilan po ang alam natin na registered
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004776or active contributors ng SSS at GSIS?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004777Baka lang po mahugot natin mula sa Google.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004778Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004779they are validating the numbers.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004780Kung pwede pong mamaya po ibibigay po natin.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004781Sige po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004782sigurado po ako, mas malaki po yung kanila pong active contributors
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004783kesa sa...
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004784active contributors ng PhilHealth.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004785Inuulit ko po,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004786while waiting for the figures,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004787I can confidently say,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004788more than the active contributors of PhilHealth,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004789yung active contributors ng GSIS at saka po ng SSS.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004790And I won't be surprised kung meron pong asymmetry
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004791kasi bakit mas maraming active contributors sa GSIS at saka sa SSS.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004792Which leads me to a very important point
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004793which would later on be a proposal
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004794to the PhilHealth and to the DOH.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004795Kung ganun po, sumasang-ayon ba ang PhilHealth
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004796that we should institute reforms
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004797in order to efficiently collect premiums?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004798Baka po, we can look into partnership with SSS,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004799GSIS, or in the long run, even with BIR.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004800Does PhilHealth have plans to strengthen its coordination
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004801with other agencies to collect the premiums?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004802At sigurado po ako, hindi lamang ito magiging mas efficient,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004803makakabawas pa po.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004804Sa operating costs in terms of collection.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004805The answer to that question, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004806Honorable Colleague, is yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004807Tama po, to make the collection more efficient.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004808Sa ngayon po, data sharing lang po ang nangyayari.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004809Pero ang gustong mangyayari ng DOH and PhilHealth in the future
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004810is that these partner agencies
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004811or government corporation should collect the data
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004812at i-share po sa PhilHealth para mas maging efficient po yung collection.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004813And that is what they are working on right now,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004814Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004815Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004816are we also looking at the possibility of entering into partnership
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004817with these corporations in terms of being collecting agents also of PhilHealth?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004818The answer, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004819is yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004820Na through this formalization of partnership
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004821na sila na mag-collect on behalf of PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004822para mas maging efficient.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004823May timeline na po ba tayo dito?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004824Okay.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004825Right now, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004826Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004827merong high-level discussion with the mentioned agencies
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004828at ang maganda po dito, kasama ang leadership ng DOF
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004829para talagang hopefully they would agree
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004830at mas maging efficient po yung collection in the future.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004831Sana po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004832mas maging mabilis yung pacing ng ating high-level discussions
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004833which could eventually be translated into circular and necessary policies.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004834At kung mangangailangan po ng legislation,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004835we are very open to support the PhilHealth and the DOH
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004836towards this direction.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004837Mahalaga po yung efficiency ng collection ng premium
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004838kasi earlier na-illustrate ko po kung gaano kalayo
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004839yung kailangan nating habulin to be able to fully cover
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004840both direct and indirect contributors of the PhilHealth.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004841For the record lang po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004842ano po yung mga improvements natin in terms of benefits
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004843that are underway for 2027?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004844Ano po yung aabangan ng ating mga kababayan sa PhilHealth sa taong 2027?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004845So, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, if I may enumerate one by one.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004846So, una po yung tuberculosis inclusion of FLDs in gamot by January 1, 2027.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004847NDOTS package enhanced and MDR package in 2027.

Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004855Ongoing po ang development work for inclusion of contraceptives.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004856As postpartum package.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004857Leukemia naman po under development sa CWDs or children with disabilities.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004858Ito po ay mangyayari due for fourth quarter of this year.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004860Cardiac arrhythmia under study.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004861Congenital heart disorder is also under study.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004862So, these are some of the expanded packages na ginagawa po ng PhilHealth and [unclear].
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004863Sa dental po, meron po ba?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004864Because oral care is also very important.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004865It's also very important, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004866Meron po, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleagues, sa Q4 of 2027 naman po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004867So, Q4 of 2027, yung sa dental po natin.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004868Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, it's very good to hear that there are a lot of reforms underway
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004869under the new leadership of PhilHealth.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004870Gusto po nating maramdaman ng ordinaryong Pilipino,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004871na may PhilHealth tayo.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004872Gusto nating maramdaman ng mga direct contributors na sulit ang kanilang bawat pisong ibinabayad sa PhilHealth.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004873At masalong gusto nating maramdaman ng mga indirect contributors natin na may gobyernong handang sumalo at yumakap sa kanila.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004874Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004875Akbayan urges PhilHealth to explore ways to collect premiums more efficiently,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004876both from the private and public sector.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004877This representation, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004878supports the increase of the budget of PhilHealth up to the amount that this government owes our indirect contributors.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004879Tapatan naman natin ang binabayad ng direct contributors through premium subsidies.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004880After all, this is the essence of solidarity.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004881This is the essence of universal healthcare.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004882Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, I'd like to move on to another issue,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004883and that is the issue of injectable PrEP. Ito po yung pre-exposure prophylaxis natin.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004884Lenacapavir is a long-acting injectable form of PrEP given twice a year.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004885In July 2025, WHO recommended it as an additional PrEP option.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004886In fact, the US FDA approved it in June 2025.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004887In February 2026, the Department of Health announced publicly that injectable PrEP was coming to the Philippines through PEPFAR.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004888Pero magpipitong buwan na po.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004889Wala pa ring acceptance decision, registration issuance at rollout date for Lenacapavir.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004890Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, does the Health Secretary consider Lenacapavir a critically needed drug under AO 2020-001?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004891The answer, Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague, is yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004892It's already recognized by the DOH under Administrative Order No. 2026-0005.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004893And would the good Secretary consider Lenacapavir a game-changer sa ating HIV response?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004894Will it save lives?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004895The answer is yes, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004896That is one of the options.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004897And it is still being validated as we speak, Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004898Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague, the most important question in this series is, will the Secretary sign the determination?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004899Can the good Secretary give us a timeline for the signing of this determination?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004902Right now, Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague, kina-fast-track po ito ng ating Kalihim ng DOH with the FDA.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004904At kapag lumabas na po yung Certificate of Product Registration, ay dun po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004905Pwede na pong gamitin ito specific to that cohort.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004906Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague. Medyo kinabahan po ako na marinig ko yung FDA.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004907Kasi nung po ating budget briefing, nakita naman natin kung gano'ng kalaki at kadami ang backlog ng FDA at kung gano'ng kabagal yung proseso dahil nga po sa kakulangan ng tao.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004908So nung bilanggit nyo yung FDA sa conversation, natakot ako na baka mas talong bumagal pa.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004909Inuulit ko lang po, this is WHO recommended at pwede rin pong US FDA approval since June 2025.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004910Pag sinabi pong fast track, gano'ng po kabilis yung fast track, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004911Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, meron naman pong commitment with the leadership of FDA para i-fast track po ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004912Sige po. Hinihingi po sana natin, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, ay ano po ang ibig sabihin ng fast track?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004913Ano po sa Tagalog ang fast track? Ilang araw, ilang linggo, ilang buwan?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004914Inuulit ko po. Pasensya na kayo. I'm taking off from our discussion during the budget briefing.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004915Na talagang maraming natitenga sa FDA dahil sa kakulangan ng tao.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004916So, to give the exact
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004917number of days,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004918It will be 20 days upon submission of compliance.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004919So, has the compliance been submitted, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004920At this time, hindi pa po.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004921Kailan pa ang ating target submission of compliance?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004922For the local...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004923Sa local CPR, October 9 po magsasubmit.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004924October 9?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004925So, 20 days after.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004926So, 20 days after. Ito po ba ay working or calendar days, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004927Pasensya na po. Makulit ako kasi February pa po ito eh.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004928Wala pong problema, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague. These are calendar days.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004929Calendar days. So, we're looking at around October 29, no?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004930Hindi ko na po tatanungin kung ilan yung unagi HIV positive every day kasi alam naman po natin na report naman yan po ulit-ulit.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004931That's 47 a day.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004932Yung 47 a day po, yan yung own natin.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004933Test natin at i-detect na positive sa HIV infection.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004934So, if we're gonna do the math, that's 9,870 Filipinos na nagka-HIV in the past 7 months.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004935In the past 7 months, na-delayed po ang rollout ng Lenacapavir.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004936Sabi po sa internet, a condom could have prevented this.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004937And yes, in this case, Lenacapavir could have prevented this.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004938A 2026 modeling study projected that with more rapid intake of Lenacapavir,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004939approximately 23,800 HIV infections could be averted from 2026 to 2030.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004940Napakalaking tulong po ang donation na ito.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004941It can save lives. It is our game changer, lalo na sa ating young key population.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004942Tayo po ay fast and furious pa rin pagdating sa infection.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004943One of the highest, if not the highest, in the region.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004944And this is a game changer.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004945Lenacapavir now has a WHO recommendation, a pre-qualification, and a donation.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004946Sitting on the table waiting for a signature.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004947Donation na po ito ha, choosy pa ba tayo?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004948Kaya ang tanong po ng taong bayan at ng mga kapwa natin advocates,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004949ano pa ang hinihintayin natin para magligtas ng mas marami nating mga kababayan?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004950Madam Speaker,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004951Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004952let me move on to another topic.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004953Ito na po, last na po kasi nag-promise ako ng 20 minutes kaya na po medyo nahaba ng konti.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004954This representation would like to be updated on the commitment made by the leadership of PhilHealth
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004955to expand the maternal care package to address rapid repeat pregnancies.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004956May nabanggit na po kayo kanina, additional coverage.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004957Noong committee hearing po, nagkaroon tayo ng pagkakataon na mga isa publiko ang nakababahalang bilang ng mga kababaihang Pilipinas.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004960na nakakaranas ng rapid repeat pregnancies o ang sunod-sunod na pagkabuntis sa loob lamang ng 24 buwan or 2 years
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004961Ito po ay may negative health outcomes, hindi lamang sa nanay, kundi at pati sa baby, kasama na ang risk ng maternal at infant death.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004963Nais po nating malaman mula sa DOH
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004964at PhilHealth, magkakaroon po ba tayo ng short-acting commodities sa ating maternity care package as part of postpartum care?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004966Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, ito po ay bahagi ng MCP or yung Maternal Care Package
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004967at ma-implement po ito sa third quarter of 2027.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004968At hanggang ilan buwan po ang ibibigay natin short-acting contraceptives?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004969Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004970Three months po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004971Three months, no?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004972Are these contraceptives for proper spacing to be given free to mothers as part of MCP?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004973Tama po yun. It will be given for free, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004974Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, kasama po ba sa budget para dito sa expanded MCP sa ating 2027 budget?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004975Kasama po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004976Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004977Magkano po ang tinataya natin kailangan budget na kakailanganin for the implementation of the expanded MCP, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004978For the MCP or Maternal Care Package, it is 6 billion for hospital services and 4.7 billion for non-hospital services.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004979Saan po dyan papasok ang implant?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004980It's covered po ba?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004981Naalala ko po kasi when our Deputy Speaker, former DOH Secretary Janet Garin was DOH Secretary, talagang pinapaliwanag niya sa atin yung kahilagahan noong pag-consider as an option yung implant.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004982Kasi alimbawa po noon, ang issue natin na tinutukan noon ay early pregnancy, no?
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004983At nakita po natin na yung mga...
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004984Bata na nagbubuntis, kung sila ay mabibigyan po ng implant, at least two years po, pwede nila matapos yung pag-aaral nila na hindi sila magbubuntis.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004985So kasama po ba ito sa ating pakete?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004986Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, yung implants po is a separate package.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004987And that would be under which package?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004994Under ng family planning, pero it is a separate package.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004995Okay.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004996Makaka-avail po ba dito ang ating mga teen moms, ang mga batang ina?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-004997Opo, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004998Marami pong salamat, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-004999This representation commends the new leadership of the DOH and PhilHealth for paying close attention to the unmet needs of Filipino women and other marginalized groups.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-005000Lalo na po yung ating mga teen moms at mga batang ina.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-005001Kailangan-kailangan po natin ito because despite of our declining fertility rate, marami pa rin maternal at infant deaths.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-005002Lumalaki pa ang undernourished at mga batang Pilipino at napapabayaan natin ang kalusugan ng pamilyang Pilipino.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-005003Thank you for responding to the call to expand the maternity care package.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-005004And Akbayan fully supports the request of the DOH and PhilHealth to significantly and rightfully increase their budget for 2027.
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña
asr-005005Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, marami pong salamat.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005006Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, at maraming salamat din po sa ating Deputy Minority Leader, Cendaña.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-005007Majority Leader.
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu
asr-005008Mr. Speaker, I move that we recognize the Honorable Bong Suntay of the 4th District of Quezon City to interpolate the proposed budget of the DOH.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-005009Honorable Bong Suntay is hereby recognized.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005010Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005011To our good sponsor, of course, to the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005012Department of Health family, magandang tanghali po sa inyong lahat.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005013Magandang hapon.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005014The Universal Healthcare Act, RA 11223, explicitly defines indirect contributors as Filipinos,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005015not categorized as direct contributors, including indigent, senior citizens, persons with disabilities,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005016whose health insurance premiums shall be subsidized
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005017by the national government.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005018While the Universal Healthcare Act does not explicitly fix an exact peso amount for the premium of indirect contributors,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005019the provisions on government premium subsidies is within the exact same provision as the premiums of direct contributors under Section 10
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005020and must be construed harmoniously.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005021Historically and prior to the UHC Act,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005022the floor rate of direct contributors served...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005023as the benchmark for subsidized member.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005024But under the 2027 NEP,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005025the 55.42 billion allocations for 30.74 million indirect contributors amounts to a meager 1,803 per beneficiary per year,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005026far below the premium for the lowest income floor.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005027So my question is, who sets the premium rate for indirect contributors and what legal and actual basis was used?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005028In the 2027 NEP, to justify subsidizing vulnerable Filipinos at only 1,803 per year?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005029Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005030ito po yung katanungan na sinagot din po kanina,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005031yung discrepancy...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005032nung figures ng DBM at ng PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005033So, di hamak na mas maliit yung figures ng DBM,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005034kaya pag dinivide nyo, talaga ang liit ng package.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005035So, ang ginagawa po ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005036basta kung ano yung halaga ng package na ibibigay sa member,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005037yun po yung kinukover ng PhilHealth.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005038Hindi ko tinatanong yung coverage.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005039Ang tinatanong ko yung contribution,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005040yung contributors.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005041Kasi nakalagay sa NEP, as I mentioned,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005042it's 55.42 billion ang na-allocate under sa NEP
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005043for 30.74 indirect beneficiaries,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005044yung mga hindi nagbabayad ng contribution.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005045So, ibig sabihin, ito yung subsidized ng ating pamahalaan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005046If you divide it by 30.74,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-0050471,803 lang yan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005048That's far below yung dating ginagamit before the approval of...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005049of UHC.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005051Ang position po dito, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005052Honorable Colleague ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005053ay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005054imbis na headcount
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005055ang naging...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005056naging basis ng DBM maging budget-based na lang po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005057ang sinasabi ng ating PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005058for ease of planning and resource allocation.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005059So, talagang meron pong deficit
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005060or pagkukulang sa pondong ibinigay sa PhilHealth.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005061So, well, naano lang ako eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005062Aside from yung mababa akong base contribution,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005063kung ngayon sasabihin...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005064Kasi ang worry ko dyan,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005065given that yung senior citizens,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005066persons with disability,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005067yung mga indigent family
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005068inherently face
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005069a higher health risk
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005070and medical expenditure
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005071than relatively healthier
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005072formally employed workers,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005073parang masado ngayon maliit yung baseline.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005074Now, who will choose?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005075Kung sasabihin natin as per
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005076beneficiary base,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005077kung sino yung unang makakalapit,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005078kung sino yung unang makakalapit,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005079unahan ba yan?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005080Kung sino yung unang makakalapit?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005081Who chooses?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005082Kung sino yung magiging subsidized,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005083sino yung hindi?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005084Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005085Siyempre, hindi po pwedeng tanggalin ng PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005086yung eligible membership under the law.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005087So, ang position po ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005088repeatedly, is kailangan nila makolekta yung balanse.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005089Yeah. Hindi.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005090Hindi. Ang tinatanong ko is not
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005091balance doon sa paying members.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005092Yung government subsidy yung sinasabi ko.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005093Yung kulang, yung allocation natin.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005094Because ganito yung...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005095Last September 16, 2026,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005096the DBM made a social media post
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005097about PhilHealth budget
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005098and which was covered by the Philippine News Agency
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005099that 74.45 billion proposed budget for PhilHealth
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005100is the national government's premium subsidies
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005101for 11.9 million,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00510211.09 million qualified beneficiaries.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005103So, 11...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005104Yung...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005105Doon sa post mismo,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005106nang sinabi,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00510711.09 lang ang isasubsidize.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005108Pero, under the UHC,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00510930.74 yung bilang eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005110So, ano nangyari doon sa 19 million?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005111So, what happened to the 19 million
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005112other indirect contributors?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005113Why were their premiums
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005114not subsidized by the national government
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005115despite the clear language of RA 11.223?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005116Kaya nga ang tanong ko,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005117who decides who among the 30.74 million indirect contributors
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005118are subsidized by the national government
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005119at sino yung hindi masasubsidize?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005120Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005121lahat po covered.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005122So, as far as PhilHealth is concerned,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005123yung buong 33 million ang covered.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005124So, doon po may discrepancy with the DBM.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005125Okay.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005126From the statement of the good sponsor,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005127lahat covered.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00512830.74.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005129Kung identified ko ngayon kung ano yung nilagay,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005130in fact, 74 billion nga yung sinabi eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005131Pero, ang nakalagay sa net,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00513255.42 lang eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005133Kung yung 55.42 yung gagamitin natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005134as yung basis for the...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005135subsidy for the indirect contributors,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005136then, babalik tayo sa sinabi ko.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005137That's a premium of 1,803 pesos
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005138per beneficiary
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005139kung for the entire 30.74...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00514030 million 74 na kailangan i-subsidize.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005141Kulang na kulang.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005142So, sino nga yun ang pipiliin?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005143Kasi nga,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005144either 1,803 lang ang magiging basis nung contribution,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005145o meron tayong tatanggalin.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005146So, wala pong pipiliin,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005147kung sino mag-claim,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005148yun po ang iko-cover.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005149And that is why, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005150as I've said earlier,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005151ang position po ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005152kailangan po makolekta yung kulang.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005153During the Committee on Appropriations hearing,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005154PhilHealth mentioned a minimum required
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005155subsidy of 244 billion
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005156based on the year's projected benefit payouts.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005157But, as I mentioned,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005158for 2027, under the 2027 NEP,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005159it only provided
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005160around 74.45 billion,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005161leaving around 170 billion
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005162shortfall for PhilHealth.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005163Now, as also mentioned,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005164PhilHealth has already depleted its reserves
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005165in 2025,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005166and it is projected to dip further in 2026,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005167pushing its reserve fund
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005168well below the mandatory statutory ceiling set
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005169by the Universal Health Care Act.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005170Now, knowing that PhilHealth needs
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005171an additional 170 billion
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005172simply to reach break-even point,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005173shouldn't Congress provide for funding
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005174to prevent PhilHealth from further draining
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005175its reserves, threatening its sustainability,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005176and affecting the 30 million vulnerable
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005177Filipinos relying on it?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005178Kung meron pong fiscal space, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005179Honorable Colleague, we would
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005180gladly support that.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005181Yun ang problema pagka
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005182ang magiging sagot natin is kung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005183merong fiscal space.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005184Dahil
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005185it isn't
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005186ano ba yung prioritization
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005187ng ating gobyerno?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005188Isn't it education?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005189Then healthcare?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005190We agree.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005191Okay, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005192Napaka-importante po ng health.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005193And this should really be
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005194prioritized, especially with the new
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005195leadership ng DOH.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005196Okay, so assuming na
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005197ang kumasya lang is yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005198as I mentioned, yung 74.45
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005199billion,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005200then
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005201ibig sabihin,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005202yung dun sa 30.74, hindi
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005203na lahat magbabayad ng premium.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005204At kung sino na lang ang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005205maho-hospital,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005206o okay na lang, parang unahan na lang.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005207As I understand it,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005208Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005209by law, yung mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005210eligible magbayad ng premium
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005211ay mandated magbayad ng premium.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005212Hindi. Yung eligible
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005213magbayad, yun yung mga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005214workers, talagang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005215kinakaltasan yan at dapat silang magbayad.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005216Pero,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005217under the UHC kasi, merong mga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005218indirect members, yung beneficiaries
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005219na hindi nagbabayad. Yan yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005220sinasagot ng gobyerno.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005221Yun yung kailangan
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005222hanapan ng pera
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005223para makover sila. Yan rin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005224yung sinasubsidize ng
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005225national government para meron
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005226silang pambayad ng premium nila.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005227Pero kung ang national government
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005228ang nagsasubsidize, kailangan
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005229babadgetan ng national government. But if we do not
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005230put it dito sa NEP natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005231at isasama sa GAA,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005232then wala silang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005233contribution na
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005234makukuha.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005235So, paano silang magiging covered
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005236kung wala silang contribution?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005237Kaya ang tanong ko, paano natin
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005238pipiliin kung sino yung covered
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005239na indirect beneficiary
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005240at sino yung hindi?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005241Under the law, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005242Honorable Colleague, and as you may know,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005243merong lima o anim
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005244na pondo
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005245or sources
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005246of funds na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005247pumapasok sa PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005248So, from sin taxes, PAGCOR,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005249PCSO,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005250paying members, and
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005251national government
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005252subsidy. So,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005253ito po yung pool
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005254ng pondo for the universal
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005255healthcare. So, pool po ito. So,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005256makukover din po yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005257indirect members
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005258under this pool.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005259At wala pong pipiliin ang PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005260Ikukover pa rin po sila.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005261The challenge is, as we've
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005262mentioned, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005263Honorable Colleague, is to be
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005264more efficient in
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005265collection at patuloy
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005266na singilin
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005267yung dapat singilin
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005268para mapunta sa PhilHealth.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005269I'm very happy that you mentioned it,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005270yung other sources of
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005271revenues na dapat ibigay
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005272sa PhilHealth. Because under Section
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00527337 of the Universal Healthcare Act,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005274it actually
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005275explicitly earmarks
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00527650% of the,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005277the national government's share from
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005278PAGCOR gaming revenue and
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00527940% of the charity fund of
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005280PCSO, that it should
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005281go directly to PhilHealth to fund their
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005282universal coverage.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005283The Bureau of Treasury has officially
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005284has officially certified that PAGCOR and PCSO
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005285has remitted
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005286and I think
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005287accumulated
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005288127.55 billion
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005289since 2019.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005290Yet PhilHealth
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005291has confirmed it has not received
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005292a single peso due to
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005293the absence of notice of
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005294cash allotment
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005295from DBM. Now,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005296is this accurate?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005297That is confirmed,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005298Mr. Speaker, Honorable
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005299Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005300Okay. Now, given that the Bureau of Treasury
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005301has already certified
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005302the remittance of 127.55
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005303billion in collections
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005304from PAGCOR
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005305and PCSO since
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-0053062019,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005307why hasn't
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005308the DBM
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005309issued the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005310corresponding notice for cash allowance
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005311to release the funds to PhilHealth?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005312So, under what legal
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005313authority is it being
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005314withheld and
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005315why hasn't PhilHealth
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005316insisted that this
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005317127.55 billion be
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005318remitted to them?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005319We have
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005320the same question,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005321Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005322Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005323At ang ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005324PhilHealth continuously
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005325nagbibil sa ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005326national government para maklaim
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005327itong mga balanse.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005328But the answer is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005329beyond us, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005330Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005331Now, isn't it a part of the duty
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005332of Congress
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005333to ensure that this amount be
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005334remitted
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005335to PhilHealth so that they could use
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005336it para dun sa
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005337to cover
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005338partially yung mga pangangailangan nila
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005339for those indirect
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005340beneficiaries?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005341We agree with you, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005342So, ano kaya ang pwede natin gawin?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005343Well, the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005344national budget for
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-0053452027 is in
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005346the halls of Congress.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005347So, if we decide collectively
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005348to do something
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005349about this,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005350it is well within our powers,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005351Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005352Okay. Now,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005353going further
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005354dun sa mga other,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005355dahil nabanggit ninyo yung sin taxes naman.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005356Under the sin tax reform law,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005357RA 10351,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005358RA 11346,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005359and RA 11467,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005360and under the UHC Act,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005361revenues from
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005362excise tax on tobacco,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005363e-cigarettes, and
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005364sweetened beverages are earmarked
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005365by law to finance
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005366the National Health Insurance Program.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005367For 2027
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005368alone, earmarked
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005369sin tax revenues due
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005370for the premium subsidies of
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005371indirect contributors, totals
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00537275.2 billion,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005373if I'm correct.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005374As mentioned by DBM, yet as mentioned
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005375during the September 15th,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005376deliberation,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005377the NEP allocates only
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00537855.42 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005379So, may balance na
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00538019.58.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005381Dun sa earmarked collection.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005382Saan napunta yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005383kulang na yun?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005384So, why did the NEP allocate
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005385only 55.42
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005386when the law says, yung buong
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005387amount, dapat mabigay sa PhilHealth?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005388Saan napunta yung 19.58
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005389billion na unappropriated
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005390balance?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-005457of the PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005458We will do so, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005459Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005460Thank you very much.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005461And, ah, well,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005462a core mandate of the
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005463UHC Act is
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005464the consolidation and pooling
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005465of public health funds
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005466under PhilHealth
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005467to eliminate
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005468fragmented financing,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005469reduce administrative overheads,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005470prevent patients from having
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005471to navigate multiple agencies
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005472just to settle hospital
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005473bills.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005474But
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005475despite
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005476billions of pesos,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005477continue
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005478to carve out
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005479for separate
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005480medical assistance
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005481schemes dito sa Congress.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005482Parang may UHC
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005483na nga tayo,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005484pero pagdating dito,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005485meron tayong
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005486MAIFIP program
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005488DOH,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-005492scheme in
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005493Apex Hospital.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005494Tapos
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005495noon,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005496PhilHealth
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005497funds
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005498face a severe
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005499funding
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005500shortfall.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005501Parang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005502hiwalay-hiwalay.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005503Now, my question is,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005504consistent with the principle
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005505of fund pooling
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005506under the UHC,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005507why are public funds
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005508for patient assistance
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005509still fragmented to
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005510MAIFIP,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005511zero-balance
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005512billing schemes,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005513rather than directly
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005514channeling it
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005515and transitioning it
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005516to PhilHealth
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005517to augment the benefit
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005518package?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005519Para hindi na iba-iba
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005520yung nilalapitan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005525My worry
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005526kasi is that, doesn’t
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005527maintaining MAIFIP as a parallel funding stream
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005528perpetuate political discretion,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005529red tape, systemic inefficiencies?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005530Ba t hindi na lang pagsama-samahin?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005531The leadership of DOH and PhilHealth agrees
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005532with our colleague, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005533And yung reality po kasi on the ground ngayon,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005534dahil hindi pa po na-expand
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005535ang packages ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005536ang MAIFIP serves as a stopgap
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005537para kahit pa pano madagdagan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005538yung nakukolekta o naibibigay sa mga members.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005539So for example, sa 100,000 peso na bill,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005540kunyari sa private hospital,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005541assuming na may MOA with DOH,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005542baka 15-20% would be covered by PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005543Ngayon, meron pa pong avenue yung ating mga kababayan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005544through the MAIFIP
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005545para madagdagan at mabawasan yung out-of-pocket.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005546And this is temporary.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005547In fact, in many conversations with the new Secretary of Health
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005548and the new President of PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005549unti-unti na pong i-institutionalize
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005550yung coverage ng PhilHealth para lumaki
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005551and yung ratio magbabago.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005552Kung,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005553mas maliit ngayon yung nakukover ng PhilHealth versus MAIFIP,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005554unti-unti po palaki ng palaki ang makukover ng PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005555at paliit ng paliit yung sa MAIFIP
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005556para ma-institutionalize at merong sistema,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005557then eventually,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005558baka meron na tayong napaka-efficient na universal healthcare.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005559Okay, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005560Well, natutuwa po ako sa sagot nyo.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005561But, pabalikan ko ho yung unang sinabi nyo.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005562Actually, kaya nang nabanggit nyo kanina,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005563yung mga other revenue collections,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005564from yung mga sin taxes, et cetera, et cetera,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005565dinadagdag natin to expand the coverage of PhilHealth.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005566Ine-enumerate nyo nga yung expanded coverage kanina.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005567Nasabi ko, wag na natin enumerate.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005568Bigay nyo na lang sa akin kung ano yung listahan ng coverage.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005569Pero now, ang sinasabi nyo, andito pa rin yung MAIFIP
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005570kasi hindi pa expanded yung coverage ng PhilHealth.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005571So, how do we harmonize both?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005572Kasi, ang fear ko talaga,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005573totoo naman that marami kasing nangangailangan ng tulong,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005574lalo na lalo na.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005575Pagdating sa medical.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005576But as we all know, MAIFIP is highly politicized.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005577In fact, there are districts that are not able to enjoy or use this MAIFIP
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005578as much as other districts.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005579So, kawawa naman yung mga hindi po nakakuha.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005580Tapos dun, yung mga ibang lugar naman,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005581na hindi naman nila nagagagagawin,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005582gamit ng gusto, sobra-sobra
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005583naman yung kanila. Ako na yun,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005584naaawa lang ako dun sa mga
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005585sick person is a sick
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005586person, wherever
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005587they are living.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005588Whether nandun yan
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005589sa distrito ng isang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005590malakas na politiko,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005591o nandyan yan sa distrito ng isang
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005592politiko na hindi naman.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005593Pag may sakit, may sakit.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005594So how do we balance it? Para naman yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005595beneficio, maibigay ng parehas.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005596Wala pong discrepancy sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005597sinabi ko kanina,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005598habang in-expand yung package
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005599at tumataas yung coverage,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005600dun po, unti-unti
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005601pwede nang mabawasan yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005602MAIFIP. Pero habang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005603tinatrabaho pa lang ito,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005604and I've mentioned
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005605the expansion of packages earlier,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005606kailangan po may
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005607mapupuntahan yung ating mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005608kababayan. And
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005609dito po sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005610prospective MOA
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005611with the private hospitals,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005612nagagawin ng DOH,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005613iseset up na po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005614mandatory yung nasa batas
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005615na yung 10%
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005616sa mga ward. Kasi ngayon po, hindi po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005617nakaset up yun eh. So pag naset up to,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005618imagine the new
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005619bed capacity.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005620na pwedeng mapuntahan ng ating mga kababayan all across the cities and provinces in our country.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005621And ito po, siyempre covered po ito with the PhilHealth packages.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005622So dito po, bababa ng bababa yung coverage ng MAIFIP.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005623And to add to this, if you remember, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005624nung zona ng ating presidente, binanggit mismo ng ating pangulo,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005625ang e-MAIFIP na unti-unti pong in-institutionalize sa e-government app o sa e-gov app
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005626na, of course, this is a work in progress, pero pag nangyari po yun,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005627online, pwede po mag-apply yung ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005628Therefore, kung hindi man na, and we know, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005629it is not a perfect world.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005630So kung meron mang mga anomalya, meron mang hindi magagandang sistema ng MAIFIP sa mga syudad o probinsya,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005631ito po, potentially, mababaypas po yun, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005632Well, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, I agree with you, it is not a perfect world.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005633But we could try to make it a fair world.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005634Natutuwa ako that there is a slow transition to institutionalizing.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005635Yung accessibility of healthcare.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005636But ang mangyayari ba yan, until such time na ma-improve natin,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005637ma-expand yung coverage ng field health,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005638dun sa mga distrito na iba, sa mga taong hindi ganun kalakas,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005639ibig sabihin nun, pansamantala, tiis-tiis muna sila,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005640huwag muna silang magkakasakit, hindi muna sila matutulungan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005641So ganun na lang.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005642Ang sasabihin natin sa kanila.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005643Hindi po, Mr. Speaker, that is why itong mga reforma na ito ay talagang minamadali
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005644ng ating Secretary of Health at ng Presidente ng Field Health
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005645para unti-unti talagang maramdaman at itong mga shortcomings ay magawan ng paraan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005646Pero ang maganda po ngayon, whether the system is, of course, not perfect,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005647maraming avenues na po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005648Pwedeng puntahan yung ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005649Ano pa kaya yung ibang avenues?
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005650Because pilit natin gustong matulungan yung tao.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005651Kaya nga kung ako, kung maaari, ibuhos na lang yung pera sa field health
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005652para direkta na yung tao, wala nang kailangan lapitan, punta sila sa hospital
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005653at makukuha nila yung tulong na ipinangako, kagaya ng sinabi mo, ng ating Pangulo.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005654Hindi naman kailangan niyan ituro o i-endorse pa ng politiko.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005655Kung maaaring dumiretsyo na lang sila.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005656Dahil ang gusto naman natin lahat, may access nila itong tulong na galing sa gobyerno.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005657Pero alam natin, hindi nangyayari.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005658Maybe nangyayari doon sa mga ibang distrito, pero yung mga iba, sabi ko nga,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005659dapat pagdating sa healthcare, wala saan ng politika.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005660Gusto natin matulungan yung taong nangangailangan ng tulong.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005661I agree, Mr. Speaker, with our colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005662And kahit kasi ibuhos natin itong pondo ng MAIFIP,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005663napakalaki rin po sa PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005664hindi po kasi overnight na-expand yung mga packages.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005665It takes time.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005666And I've mentioned the roadmap in the expansion of packages.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005667Dahil ito po ipinag-aaralan para nang sa ganun,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005668once may offer, ay walang maging problema sa mga members and beneficiaries.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005669Kaya ngayon, habang in-expand ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005670at nilalakihan ang supposedly na,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005671na koleksyon ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005672meron pong napupuntahan yung ating mga mamamayan na ibang avenues.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005673Ito nga po yung sa MAIFIP,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005674nang sa ganun, ay madagdagan habang lumalaki yung package coverage ng PhilHealth.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005675Okay.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005676As I mentioned, yung sa akin lang naman is,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005677so as not to belabor the point any further,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005678what we wish to accomplish is a universally or a nationally accessible healthcare program
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005679na malalapitan naman ng mga tao na talagang nangangailangan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005680Hindi naman natin nilalapit yung mga taong may pambayad eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005681Ang gusto natin maka-access yung mga taong nangangailangan,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005682na sana makahingi sila ng tulong.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005683Hindi yung pinadadala ko pa sa South Cotabato para mabigyan ng tulong yung mga nangangailangan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005684Nangangailangan ng tulong.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005685But the thing is, as I mentioned,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005686a sick person, where they live, is a sick person.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005687A sick, needy person.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005688And I hope that they could be able to access it,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005689whether directly through the hospitals or indirectly through MAIFIP.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005690If ever it becomes justly distributed,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005691then yun lang ang ating nais.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005692Now,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005693to go further, napansin ko po kasi that yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005694on the National Mental Health Budget,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005695since, every year since 2025,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005696it has been reduced significantly from 1.5 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005697Now, there's a very small allocation given to it.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005698Bakit naging ganun yung alokasyon?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005700I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005701May our colleague...
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005702Yung sa mental health.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005703Oo.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005704Yung sa ating on mental health.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005705Because dati, way back, I think, to 2025,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005706the budget for mental health was 1.5 billion.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005707Now, since then, it has drastically been decreased.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005708National Mental Health Budget.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005709Okay.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005710So, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005711honorable colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005712yung decrease po ay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005713hindi dapat mag-alala yung ating mga kababayan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005714because it will be covered by
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005715PhilHealth, itong
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005716under their mental health package.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005717Under sa PhilHealth na rin siya ngayon.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005718Yung,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005719opo, yung hindi mako-cover.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005720Okay.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005721And, well,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005722to our good sponsor,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005723nice ko lang,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005724and to the department,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005725well, actually,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005726we have,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005727there are national government hospitals
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005728which na kailangan ng tulong.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005729I think I mentioned this before.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005730In Quezon City alone,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005731yung Lung Center of the Philippines,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005732the west wing of Lung Center of the Philippines
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005733was burned way back nung, I think,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-0057341989.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005735But up to now,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005736hindi pa rin nagagawa.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005737From a 400 bed capacity,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005738it has been drastically decreased.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005739Reduced to 170.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005740Sana maisama sa radar yung
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005741pagpapalakita ulit nung hospital.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005742In East Avenue also,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005743ang East Avenue does not cater only to
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005744Quezon City or Metro Manila residents.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005745In fact, galing sa probinsya,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005746nagpupunta dyan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005747The bed capacity was 600 before.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005748We were able to increase it to 1,000.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005749Then from 1,000, we hope na 1,500.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005750Pero ang pumupunta na dyan
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005751na pasyente nila is 1,200.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005752So, eh, sana,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005753tulungan rin ma-expand yung hospital
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005754so that more people coming from all over
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005755could be accommodated by these hospitals.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005756Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005757ito po ay sinusuportahan ng ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005758Secretary of DOH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005759And aside from possible funds
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005760na makuha from HFEP,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005761ay meron din po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005762itong retained income earning
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005763ang Lung Center of the Philippines
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005764na pwedeng pagtulungan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005765upang magawa itong nasunog na wing
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005766ng Lung Center.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005767Yung sa East Avenue,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005768oo kaya.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005769There is actually building under construction
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005770doon na hindi tapos, eh.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005771Sana matulungan natin na makompleto
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005772para matapos yung building.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005773Sine-check lang po, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005774Honorable Colleague, kung kasama po doon
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005775sa HFEP proposal for 2027.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005776Okay. Now, mentioning the HFEP,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005777ah, in fact, I raised this before,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005778HFEP utilization, nung actually,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005779nung nagawa na ng facility was 30,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005780I think, if I remember correctly,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-00578133 percent out of the 600 na nagawa,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005782only 200 is being utilized,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005783400 is not being,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005786hindi nagawa.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005787Hindi kasalanan ng DOH siya
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005788dahil sila lang yung nag-fund ng infrastructure
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005789but yung mga LGU,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005790which was supposed to put personnels,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005791medical personnel, health personnel there,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005792hindi naman nila nagawa.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005793But, kagaya ng sinabi ko rin,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005794sana ma-improve natin kung paano ibababa yung HFEP
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005795dahil, ah,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005796minsan hindi importante yung ano eh,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005797minsan naguunahan sa ribbon cutting
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005798kahit na ang importante is nagagamit yung facility.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005799There are now numerous, ah,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005800yung mga health centers which are constructed
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005801which is not being utilized.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005802Samantalang may mga lugar na magagamit ito,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005803matatauhan, na hindi naman na nalagyan.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-005804I'd like to remind the honorables
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-005805on time to wind up.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005806Yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005807Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005808Tama po kayo, honorable colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005809Ah, kasalukuyan po, because of that concern,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005810ay iniimbentaryo ngayon ng DOH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005811itong mga, ah, health facilities, ah, under HFEP
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005812nang sa ganon, makita ko ano yung mga gaps
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005813at magamit ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005814And, ah, tama rin po kayo.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005815Dahil, kuminsan, siguro excited yung ating mga LGUs
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005816na magkaroon ng additional funding from HFEP,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005817kahit na nasa MOA, ay responsibilidad nila.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005818Yung pagpapatakbo nito at yung mga personnel nito ay kuminsan, ah,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005819maybe because of fiscal, ah, space,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005820hindi nila napopondohan when the time comes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005821So, ngayon, mas hihigpitan ng ating kalihim
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005822after doing the inventory, ah, nang sa ganon,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005823yung mga ready na LGUs talaga ang makapartner ng DOH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005824at makarating po ang ating health services
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005825sa ating mga local government units.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005826Well, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005827I'm very happy to hear that.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005828Ah, sana lang nga, yung, ah, well, yung update lang po sa, ah,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005829East Avenue, ah, big help yan sa mga pasyente.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005830We will submit.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005831And, ah, I would just like to say, Mr., ah, good, ah, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005832good sponsor, I'm, I'm very, I'm fully supportive of the budget of the DOH.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005833In fact, I feel that, ah, we should put more funds, lalong-lalo na sa Universal Health
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005834to actualize, ah, talagang magamit yung Universal Health Care
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005835and yung, ah, pagtulong sa ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay
asr-005836Maraming salamat po.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-005837Yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005842Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and we join the Honorable Suntay with his advocacy on health.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005843Maraming salamat po, our distinguished colleague.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-005844Majority leader.
Rep. Ernesto "Ernix" Dionisio Jr.
asr-005845Mr. Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor, I move that we recognize Representative Sergio Dagooc of APAC Partylist.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-005846Honorable Sergio Dagooc is hereby recognized.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005847Thank you, Mr. Speaker, thank you, majority leader.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005848Mayong hapon sa
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005849kagalang-galang na sponsor at sa ating Secretary ng Department of Health at sa buong DOH family.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005850Paikse lang po ang aking interpellation. Related pa din po sa power yung isa.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005851Would the distinguished sponsor yield to a few clarifications?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005852Certainly, Mr. Speaker, lalong-lalo na mula sa ating most respected colleague, kay Congressman Dago.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005853Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005854Doon po sa mga project natin sa HPIP, but this does not only happen in the Department of Health.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005855Pareho-pareho po sa DepEd,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005856sa CAAP, na medyo nagsasayang tayo ng pera.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005857For example, yung mga super health center natin, ang lalaki ng mga transformer, nilakihan yung sino yung ano, anong unit ng DOH yung gumagawa ng plano, napakalaki, 50 kVA.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005858Now, anong implication nito?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005859Doon pa lang sa cost ng transformer, malaki na.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005860Pag naikabit yan, yung health center, for example, wala namang laman.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005861Wala nga ng nurse eh.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005862Ang estimate doon sa 50 kVA ay may X-ray, may kung anu-anong medical equipment.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005863Pero, ang aktual, wala.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005864At kaya, resulta, nagbabayad tayo sa cost ng transformer, nagbabayad tayo sa minimum charge ng transformer na yan, kasi may kontrata yan sa distribution utility.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005865Whether na gamit mo yung transformer o hindi, binabayaran yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005866Then, ang worst, napuputulan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005867Dahil sa laki ng bayarin, hindi kakayanin ng provincial health office.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005868Kasi ito, turnover sa...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005869LGU yan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005870LGU managed.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005871So, that's one.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005872Na, distinguished sponsor, pwedeng tingnan yung mga nationally funded projects na ito na tine-turn over natin sa LGU,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005873dapat tamang-tama lang yung mga transformer na ilagay.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005874Kung maaari nga, i-connect na lang muna natin sa...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005875Sa common transformer, walang babayaran na minimum.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005876Later on, kung may mabili na tayo na gamit, isa ka lang magpakontrata.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005877Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005878Nakita rin po ng ating bagong kalihim ng health, itong problema nito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005879And tama po kayo, yung karamihan po dito ay dapat responsibilidad ng ating local government units.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005880Pero siguro dahil sa kakulangan din ng pondo, hindi napopondohan yung mga pinirmahan nila under the MOA.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005881Kaya ngayon, meron ng prerequisites na gagawin ang Department of Health
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005882para simula pa lang ay mag-garantee na po yung responsibilidad ng ating mga local government units under this program.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005883And to add to that,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005884magtatayo na po ng bagong unit under the DOH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005885Ito po ang tinatawag na hospital cluster.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005886At nasa ilalim po nito, itong Health Facility Development Bureau.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005887Sila po yung mga nagde-design.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005888Tapos, lalagyan pa, ito bagong innovation po ito,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005889lalagyan pa na ni Secretary Mercado ng project manager
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005890sa central office that will oversee the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005891the CHDs at yung mga ini-implement na mga HFEP sa local government units.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005892Nang sa ganon, talagang matutukan kung ano lang yung dapat at walang maging wastage and inefficiencies
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005893na nangyayari sa implementation na ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005894Dahil napaka-kakaunti na lang po ng ating pondo ang hirap akong maraming inefficiencies and wastage.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005895I think, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005896maganda po yung napag-isipang gagawin ng ating bagong Health Secretary.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005897Pero idagdag nyo na lang, bago isama yung project na yan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005898mag-due diligence muna kung yung paglalagyan, may nurse ba,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005899baka building nandun, pero ni isang nurse wala.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005900So, nandun yung halimbawa medical equipment,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005901eh walang gumagamit dahil alam naman natin yung kakulangan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005902nandun naman natin ng doktor at saka nurse, yung anak ko mismo, nurse eh.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005903So, kaya alam ko yung mga yan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005904Kung minsan ako ang nagbabayad para hindi maputulan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005905kasi kakaunti ang gamit, malaki yung binabayaran dahil may minimum nga,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005906dahil may transformer na sa linya.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005907So, yan po, yun yung reality.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005908Now, pangalawa po, mayroong kuha report regarding dito sa mga medical equipment,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005909na hindi na-deliver, kung tama itong data ko,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005910mga 338 contracts ito na worth 242 million.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005911Tama po ba ito, Distinguished Sponsor?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005912Mr. Speaker?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005913May we clarify, Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague, kung anong taon po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005914para lang ma-check kaagad yung COA report?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005915Kung meron pong taon?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005916Nakuha lang po namin ito.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005917Ang isa pa, if this is correct, yung mga project natin sa HPIP na may delay o hindi natapos,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005918488 HPIP infra projects amounting to 17.2 billion.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005919Please correct me if I'm wrong, kung tama yan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005920Kasi, for example, in Siargao, mayroon akong isa dyan na nakita sa Socorro na hindi nga natapos.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005921Kaya, dalawang beses na sumulat si Mayor na tulungan ko na lang yung linya para ma-energize yung ano,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005922kasi mag-i-inspect na daw yung COA, yung mga ganon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005923So, kung minsan, I must be candid na sabihin ito,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005924para malaman ni sekretary.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005925Kung minsan, sinasabi ko, huwag na munang i-hang up, i-connect yung transformer para walang babayaran.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005926Eh, sasabihin ng DOH or ng contractor, ay kailangan GM,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005927kailangan para pag-inspect ng COA, tama sa program of work na 50 kVA.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005928Kaya, ang sabi ko na lang, sige, after na ano, para hindi tayo magkapurisyo dyan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005929kasi kung minsan, sa akin din lumalapit na huwag putulan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005930Sabi ko, after ano, i-disconnect lang natin, ilipat ko kayo doon sa walang transformer.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005931Basta lang na-inspect na ng COA.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005932So, I'm not saying na there are anomalous, pero medyo mali yung ginagawa natin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005933Yung pundo na very meager, yung hirap na nga yung kongreso pag-allocate kung saan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005934because of the limited fiscal space.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005935Eh, kung dinisign na lang siya.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005936Sana yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005937In relation sa issue ko kanina.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005938So, pakicheck lang, distinguished sponsor, Secretary, kung tama yung nabasa ko na mga COA report.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005939Yun lang naman po ang mga issue na yung kailangan para sa akin, kailangan i-address,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005940kasi nagsasayang tayo ng pundo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005941Magamit pa sana yun sa ibang mga programa natin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005942Thank you very much.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005943We agree and as mentioned earlier, yung sistema natin dito sa pag-design,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005944paglagay ng bagong project manager,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005945pagtayo ng bagong unit, itong hospital cluster that will address this.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005946And the DOH, the Secretary, took note of your comments.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005947And the problem in that hospital.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005948If we may receive more details para mapuntahan po ng ating CHD at maayos po yung mga problema na ito.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005949Sige po, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005950Pero ang tinutukoy ko po dito, parang tip of the iceberg yung mga yan,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005951kagaya ng classroom sa DepEd, na this is happening nationwide.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005952Na mayroon tayong mga building na hindi naman nagagamit.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005953Ginawa lang bodega.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005954Ginawa lang bodega.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005955Ginamit ng ibang klaseng gamit dahil kulang nga tayo ng nurse.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005956Mayroon na silang health center.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005957Dadagdagan pa natin ng super
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005958ang tawag natin, di ba tama? Super Health Center.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005959Paano naging super? Hindi ko alam bakit naging super yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005960Eh wala namang mai-assign doon ng mga medical staff.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005961So yung mga program na yun, ang titingnan natin, if those buildings are necessary ba talaga?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005962Kung sa tingin ko necessary, hindi siguro sa lahat ng lugar, medyo mga piling lugar,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005963kagaya ng Siargao, hindi lahat ng Siargao kailangan ng super health center.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005964General law na maybe, kasi nandun yung mga turista.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005965So yan yung sabi ko kanina.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005966Na due diligence muna bago isama sa project listing yung lugar na yan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005967Din yung appropriate lang na halimbawa sa power, yung appropriate na laki ng building,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005968dipindi sa pangangailangan doon.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005969Kasi kahit gaano kalaki yun, eh wala namang pasinti doon dahil wala ngang doktor at saka ano.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005970Sayang yung building natin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005971Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005972Thank you, Sekretary.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005973Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

asr-005980Senior Deputy Speaker, Mr. Speaker, and of course, to my good friend,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005984the distinguished sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005985Most of the questions already been asked.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005986So ako siguro manifestation at may konting question lang.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005987Ito siguro, I don't know if it's been asked already.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005988How about yung mga hotlines natin?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005989Video calls and mobile apps for medical advice.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005990Meron ba tayo ganyan? Kasi some of them may ganyan sila eh.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005991Lalo kung hating gabi, malayo.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005992Nandiyan na ba tayo? Are we on that stage?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005993Meron po, Mr. Speaker, honorable colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005994Ito po yung 24/7 NCMH crisis hotline, which is, if I may announce,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-0059951553.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005996And it has handled 129,488 calls thus far.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-005997And this has been established since May of 2019.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005998Thank you, Mr. Speaker, of course, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-005999Kasama rin ho ba rito yung mga private natin mga hospitals?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006000O eto, more on ano pa lang.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006001So do we have a memorandum agreement sa mga private
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006002or more on ano pa lang yung mga government?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006003So this hotline is run by DOH, so government.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006004Pero kahit sino po sa ating mga kababayan ay pwedeng tumawag po 24-7.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006005Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006006As I point out, kasi ilang bes na akong, siyempre,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006007we have the privilege na namimigay tayo ng MAIP.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006008But for me, MAIP is the best, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006009Thanks to DOH family na ito talaga, napaka-importante ito.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006010Ang daming natutulungan na ito.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006011But may kasamang problema.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006012Not the DOH itself, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006013Paano natin, how can we do to help our kababayan?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006014Yung pagbayad. Kasi some of the doctors, they don't accept yung ano eh.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006015Hanggang ngayon eh, ilan na yun na.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006016Misan kami na nag-abono.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006017Kawawang ko. Especially indigent.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006018Can we have some, like, category?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006019Pag talagang indigent, sana ano na, kahit sino ang doktor na.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006020Although, private yan, hindi natin maano.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006021Government, we have no problem.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006022Pero pagdating sa private, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006023Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, for that question.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006024Talagang problema po yan nationwide.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006025At nararamdaman po natin as representatives of our people.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006026Kaya ito po palaging sinasabi ng ating Secretary of Health na with regards to the private hospitals,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006027dahil wala namang problema sa government hospitals,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006028pagdating sa hospital bill at professional fee,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006029isasama na po sa bagong MOA.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006030Ang mga guidelines na ito para in-check po yung ibibill na hospital bill at professional fee.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006031So, kapag sila po'y pumirma dito sa bagong MOA,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006032merong opt-in condition na ibig sabihin sila ay magiging bahagi ng bagong sistema.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006033So, pati ho yung rates.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006034Ay ilalagay na sa tamang level.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006035Makakap na po ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006036At yung dating tinatanggihan ng mga private doctors na professional fee coming from the MAIP,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006037kung may opt-in po sila, ibig sabihin kasama po sila doon sa usapan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006038Plus, yung binanggit ko po kanina na malaking tulong po ito,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006039yung 10% of the bed capacity ng private hospital,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006040kailangan ma-establish as ward,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006041nang sa ganon talagang ma-increase yung bed capacity na pwedeng puntahan ng ating mga kababayan nationwide.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006042Kung saan man merong private hospital kasama ng mga government hospital sa lugar na yun.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006043So, these are some of the innovations na talagang tututukan ng ating Secretary of Health and President and CEO of PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006044We know that PhilHealth and DOH intertwine yan eh.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006045So, kailangan talaga they work together.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006046Ako, matupad lang yan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006047Talagang siguro, ginhawa na sa atin lahat ito.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006048Lalo na yung mga kababayan natin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006049Talagang yan ang problema nila noon naiwalay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006050Tapos, do you think, can we do it before the end of this year?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006051O nagsisimula na ba yan?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006052Anong stage na tayo na pwede nating mga doctor papayag na natin?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006053O nagsisimula na ba ganun na?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006054Nakasama na sa bill natin?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006055Mr. Speaker, Honorable De Jesus.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006056Nagsisimula na po as we speak.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006057If you saw in the news, nagsimula na po yung malalaking private hospitals like St. Luke, Asian Hospital, TMC.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006058Tapos meron pa pong anim na malalaking hospital sa Iloilo.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006059So, nagsisimula na po at unti-unti na itong mararamdaman ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006060And the Secretary and the President of PhilHealth will be relentless in pursuing this.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006061Again, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, masaya ako.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006062Kasi malaking tulong sa atin yan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006063At nakangiti nga ako, sa totoo lang.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006064Sa totoo lang, I support the budget of DOH.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006065Kaya ang dami kong tanong.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006066pero nung nakita ko na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006067yung mga katanungan na sagot na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006068convincingly, kaya wala
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006069wala na ako matanong. Yun nga lang, eto lang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006071kagaya sila, nagagawa na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-006072ay malaking bagay. Long live the

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006275ay nalalodge,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006276bilang isang formal complaint.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006277Marami po sa mga cases
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006278na nailalapit sa kanila
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006283ng cadaver,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006284o para po sa medical documents.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006285Kaya kumbaga hindi na po ito

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006287At ang Bureau,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006292Ngayon, sinabi din nila
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006293Mr. Speaker, na hindi po
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006294sila nag-maintain

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006297ng status o disposition
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006298ng ganitong tipo
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006299ng mga requests. Sa tingin po ba
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006300ng Bureau ng
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006301DOH na ito,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006302mangangailangan tayo, at least nung recording,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006303kahit po at the provincial
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006304or regional level, ng ganitong
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006305tipo ng mga requests. Mahalaga
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006306ito, ginuong Speaker, dahil
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006307dito natin makikita
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006308na yung sinasabi nating malaki na
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006309out-of-pocket expense
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006310ng ating mga kababayan pagdating sa
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006311pangkalusugan, mabigat talaga.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006312Ibig sabihin, hindi po yan yung
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006313nababayaran nalang nila agad. Marami
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006314dyan, talaga pong through
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006315promissory note, o kaya magahanap
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006316ng iba't ibang
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006317source ng tulong bago po nila
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006318mabayaran yung kanilang
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006319mga bills. Gayun din po, at
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006320nailapit po nga itong concern na ito sa
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006321kanila nung budget briefing, na
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006324namatay na lang po yung mga pasyente,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006325ay baon pa po
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006326sila sa sobrang-sobrang utang.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006327Kaya sa tingin po natin, yung
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006328gravity ng ganitong mga cases,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006329dapat makita ng kapulungan na ito.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006422yung nailapit natin na kaso,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006431ng DOH kung paano po natin
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006432matitiyak na
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006442natatanggihan halimbawa yung maipip

asr-006443dahil po ay
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006446yung pondo para sa kanilang
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006447operations. Kaya naman,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006448pero hindi naman po yung dahilan
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006449para sa mga sobra-sobrang profiteering
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006450naman na nakakaapekto

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-006452sa kalusugan ng ating

asr-006627Thank you to the distinguished

asr-0066292022,
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006630the World Health Organization
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006631reported that the Philippines had
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006632the third highest rate
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006633of mental health conditions
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006634in the WHO

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006636The following year, a report

asr-006641of the population,
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006642are estimated to live
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006643with a mental health condition.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006644This has very real
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006645impacts on the economy as the
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006646Philippines has lost an estimated

asr-006648billion in 2019
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006649alone to productivity.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006650And mental illness costs.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006651But the most
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006652unfortunate cost is that on
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006653our lives.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006654In 2024, the Philippine
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006660246 lives lost
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006661from the 3,133
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006678Quadrupled since
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006679COVID-19 pandemic
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006680with a notable increase
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006681in young callers with
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006682self-harm issues.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006683This was asked earlier
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006684by Congressman Suntay
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006685as to why
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006686the budget for
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006687mental health
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006688has decreased
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006689from 2025
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006690figures of 1.5
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006691billion to
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006692126 figure na
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006693742.6 million.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006694At ang proposed natin po
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006695for 2027
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006696ay 300 million.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006697Alam ko po,
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006698nasagot na ito kanina ng ating
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006699magiting na sponsor, pero
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006700maaari po bang sagutin muli
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006701kung bakit po biglang bumagsak
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006702ang budget para sa mental health
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006703program ng Department of Health.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006704Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006705Honorable Lagman,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006706yung nirequest po actually ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006707DOH for mental health
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006708mas mataas. Pero as usual
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006709because of fiscal
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006710space, yung natatanggap nila
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006711is lower than what they
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006712requested. Pero
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006713aside from this budget
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006714that will be implemented
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006715more efficiently,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006716inabsorbed na po ang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006717karamihan ng services
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006718ng PhilHealth. So
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006719number one, kasama po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006720ang mental health sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006721YACAP package
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006722which includes screening
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006723kasama po sa gamot package
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006725to include
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006726MH drugs
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006727so mental health drugs
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006728and number three, yung mental health package
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006729for specialist
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006730consult
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006731ay magiging available po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006732to the amount of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-0067339,000 pesos for general
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006734mental health package

asr-006735and 16,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006736for specialist
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006737mental health package. So although
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006738hindi
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006739inakuha ng DOH yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006740inaasam-asam nilang pondo for to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006741address mental health, buti na lang po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006742nandyan ng PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006743to absorb some of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006744the services na kinakailangan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006745po ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006747ang gagamitan nung
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006748natirang proposed na
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006751ng mga programa ay
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006752in-assume na ng PhilHealth?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006753So at present, ang pondo na ito ay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006754ginagamit ng DOH for purchase of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006755commodities.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006756So these are drugs
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006757and medicine.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006758Dahil yung package
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006759magsisimula po ng PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006790To clarify,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006791Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006792magkaiba pa po yun.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006793This is on top of that.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006794So ano po yung mga
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006795programa na
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006796gagamitan nitong pondong
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006797na sabi po ninyo?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006798Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006799Honorable Colleague, if I may
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006800enumerate. So kasama po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006801dito sa health promotion, ang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006802DOH is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006803providing technical support for the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006804implementation of the peer
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006805support groups
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006806for mental health playbook
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006807which provides
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006808a structured approach to establish
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006809community-based
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006810peer support mechanisms.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006811Isa pa po, the playbook
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006812aims to strengthen
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006813social support system and promote
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006814early intervention for
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006815mental health concerns among
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006816young people through the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006817establishment of youth-led
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006818peer support groups.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006819The approach empowers
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006820young people to provide
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006821peer support, promote
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006822help seeking, and facilitate
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006823early identification
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006824and referral of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006825peers who may need additional
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006826mental health support.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006827The playbook is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006828currently being replicated
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006829in 54
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006830cities and municipalities
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006831nationwide, demonstrating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006832its potential for broader
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006833implementation
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006834across local communities.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006835The DOH is also
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006836preparing the playbook for adoption
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006837and implementation
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006838in the school's setting
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006839to further expand
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006840access to peer support mechanism
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006841among the young people.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006842Maraming salamat po sa kasagutan.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006843Yun po ang inaantay ko
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006844kung may magandang
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006845coordination ang Department of Health
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006846since kayo po ang mga
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006847experts sa health
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006848with community-based
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006849groups, especially school-based
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006850groups. So napakahalaga po talaga
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006851ng prevention at health promotion.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006852Subalit, nakakalungkot po
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006853na noong
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-0068542026, may analysis
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006855po of psychiatric work distribution
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006856in the Philippines.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006857Nagsasabi po na ang Pilipinas ay
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006858meron lang na 409
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006859409 psychiatrists
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006860equating to
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006861around 0.38 psychiatrists
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006862for
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-0068631000 population.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006864Human resource po, napakahalagang.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006865Ano po ba ang mga hakbang na
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006866pinapropose ng DOH
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006867para po masagot
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006868ang kakulangan po sa ating health workers,
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006869particularly psychiatrists?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006870So tama po yun, Mr.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006871Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006872Talagang may kakulangan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006873sa ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006874mga healthcare professionals
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006875to address the mental health.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006876So, to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006877to amplify the access,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006878I mentioned earlier
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006879that the DOH is planning to put up
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006880this
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006881call center.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006882Nang sa ganon, kahit may kakulangan,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006883habang in-establish natin yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006884community-based capabilities
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006885to address mental health,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006886magkaroon din po ng access yung ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006887mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006888Nationwide.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006889Also, meron pong
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006890ginagawa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006891with regards to government
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006892psychologist position
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006893that have been upgraded to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006894SG 16
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006895to 20 para mas maraming

asr-006896mag-apply na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006897psychologist position
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006898incorporated
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006899into the staffing standards of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006900DOH hospitals.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006901Treatment and rehabilitation centers
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006902and selected specialty
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006903centers.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006904DOH is also expanding the MH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006905gap and
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006906psychosocial support training
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006907for physicians,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006908community health workers,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006909and deployed HRH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006910So more mental health conditions
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006911can be identified and managed
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006912at the primary
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006913healthcare level.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006914356 nurses

asr-006919training.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006920complemented by continuing training and specialization across the broader health workforce.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006921And finally, the direction is a multidisciplinary tiered model of care with primary health care teams
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006922delivering accessible community-based services and psychiatrists and psychologists supporting more complex cases.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006923Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleen.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006924Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006925Last na lang po on mental health.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006926Ang ating sponsor ay naging governor din.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006927Ako po ay naging mayor din.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006928At alam ko na malaki ang maitutulong ng local government units.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006929So ito pong tanong ko ay masasagot yata as practitioner ng ating sponsor.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006930Ano po bang magagawa ng local government units para mas mapalakas ang ating programa sa mental health?
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006931Dahil alam naman po natin na ito mga community-based programs na ito ay best na maha-handle ng mga local government units.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006932At meron po bang assistance na makukuha galing po sa Department of Health kung sakasakali man po ay may mga interesado mga local government units to pursue this?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006933Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleen, tama po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006934Of course, the people on the ground should know the condition better.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006935Being a former mayor ng ating distinguished colleague, ako rin po dati nag-mayor at nag-governor, so alam po natin yung nangyayari.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006936At yung pangangailangan nitong problema na ito on the ground.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006937So, kanya-kanyang sitwasyon po at konteksto.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006938Per L.A.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006939At katulad po sa Lalawigan ng Bataan, ay constant yung aming mahigpit na partnership with the DOH and DOH hospitals
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006940in order to amplify all these services that I mentioned in the locality, especially sa mga schools, sa mga communities, at sa mga barangay.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006941So, mapalad po kami sa Lalawigan ng Bataan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006942Meron kaming Mariveles Mental Health Facility and this is under the DOH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006943Kaya ito po yung natatap ng aming mga barangay captain, mga mayors, at ng aming mga mawamayan para makakuha kaagad ng mga serbisyo with regards to mental health.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006944So, our local chief executive, constantly.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006945Enhances all these programs nang sa ganon ma-address itong lumalaking mental health challenge natin.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006946Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleen.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006947Tulad rin po ng Bataan, maswerte rin po ang First District ng Albay kasi meron po kami mismo sa Tabaco na private institution na nagpa-provide ng mental health services.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006948At nasa amin rin po yung malinaw na treatment and rehabilitation center.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006949So, ngayon po, I think ay accredited na ng PhilHealth para magbigay ng mental health services.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006950Isa na lang pong tanong tungkol sa, gasgas na ito, pero tungkol sa syntaxes.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006951Alam po, halos lahat po ng nauna nagtanong ay nagtanong na kung magkano nga ba talagang naka-allocate or earmark funds.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006952Very clear na hindi lahat nung earmark funds ay nare-receive ng PhilHealth at ng DOH.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006953Hindi rin lahat po.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006957Ang mga nakalagay sa budget ay actually na-re-release yung pondo.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006958Malaki rin po ang gap, kaya malaki rin po ang kakulangan sa pag-expand ng mga PhilHealth benefits para sa ating mga beneficiaries.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006959Pero gusto ko po malaman na lang, hindi na yung sa PhilHealth, sa DOH, paano po ba ginagamit yung 10% para sa MAIFIP at para sa HFEP?
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006960At ano po yung outcomes nito?
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006961Hindi lang po kung magkano yung amount at kung saan napunta yung pera, pero ano po yung naging resulta nito, outcomes?
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006962Abang po nag-confer, gusto ko lang po sabihin kasi ngayon pinag-uusapan na naman natin under the Progress Bill na dagdagan o itaas ang syntaxes sa tobacco, sa alcohol, sa sweetened beverages.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006963Pero mainam pong malaman ang publiko.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006964Kung paano po ginamit yung mga pondong ito bago tayo humingi uli ng mandato para mabigyan ng karagdagan na alokasyon sa buwis ang PhilHealth at ang DOH?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006965Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Madam Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006966Tama po kayo sa syntax law, 20% is allocated for HFEP and MAIFIP.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006967At katulad po ng nabanggit kanina, kasalukuyan po yung ating bagong liderato ng DOH, ini-inventaryo yung mga na-implement at patuloy na mga ini-implement ng mga healthcare facilities.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006968Nang sa ganon, makita kayo yung mga nag-ooperate ng maayos, yung hindi nag-ooperate, para ano yung mga gaps para ma-operate ito at mapakinabangan ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006969And moving forward with regards to the health facilities, masihigpitan po yung bagong MOA with the LGUs para siguradong mag-comply.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006970If they requested for a new health facility, dapat lamang yung pinagkasunduan na personnel and other requirements ay maibigay nila.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006971Nang sa ganon, hindi po ito matenga at mapakinabangan kagad ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006972Sa MAIFIP naman po, we can submit a report, pero if I may say, ito po naman yung natatakbuhan ng ating mga kababayan habang ini-increase po natin at ini-institutionalize yung ating universal healthcare under the PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006973So as you may know, madam...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006974Olig, yung PhilHealth packages addresses probably on the average 15%, 20% of the 19%, so around 20% of the out-of-pocket ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006975So habang in-expand po ito, kahit pa paano natatakbuhan po ng ating mga kababayan yung MAIFIP.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006976So for example, sa 100,000 pesos,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006977Kung 20 pesos masasagot ng PhilHealth package, yung ibang bahagi ay pwedeng punan ng ating MAIFIP and I mentioned earlier, improve din po ito ng bagong liderato ng DOH at ng PhilHealth para yung mga private hospitals naman na nakakatanggap nung MAIFIP ay mas ma-improve pa.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006978So for example...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006979So for example, ilalagay na nating requirement na yung 10% na bed capacity allocated for ward services and this will open up thousands and probably tens of thousands of hospital beds across the country.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006980Magkakaroon na po ng tamang halaga ng pagsingil ng hospital bill and professional fees.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006981At bukod po dyan, yung tinatanggihan na...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006982At professional fee, kaya hindi pa rin makalabas yung ating mga kababayan kahit na may pondo naman na pwedeng kunin, magkakaroon ng opt-in inclusion sa MOA.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006983Nang sa ganon, if we entered into a MOA, understood na kailangan i-comply natin itong mga requirements na ito na mas papakinabangan ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006984So that is the utilization.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006985Right now, of our HFEP and MAIFIP, and tama po kayo, Madam Colleague, Mr. Chair, malaki pa rin po yung balansi dito and hopefully masingil po ng DOH at PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006986Nang sa ganon, mas maramdaman po ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006987Huli na lang pong hirit.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006988Papayag kaya po ba ang DOH or susuporta po ba siya doon lang sa bahagi ng sweetened beverage tax?
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006989Kung ang bahagi ng sweetened beverage tax ay mapupunta sa health pa rin, pero sa nutrition-specific at sa nutrition-sensitive na mga programa.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006990And kung maaari na yun talagang may mga programa na ini-implement tulad ng mga local government units,
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006991ay sila ang makikinabang.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006992Itong tax share na ito.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006993Kasi sa ngayon, parang pag sinabi mo kasing tax eh, sasabihin o saan na naman yan mapupunta.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006994Pero pag alam ng tao na oh, eto, special tax to, sweetened beverage tax, mapupunta sa mga nutrition programs ng LGUs
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006995at mga nutrition-sensitive programs katulad ng water and sanitation, maramdam nila kung saan napupunta ang buwis na.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-006996kinukuha sa tao.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-006999Quick answer, Mr. Speaker, Madam colleague is yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007000Tayag po ang ating kagawaran ng kalusugan dito po sa inyong pinapropose.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007001But of course, we have to follow the law kung magkakaroon ng amendment.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007002more than willing po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007003i-implement ito ng ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007004Secretary of Health.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007005At tama po kayo, meritocracy.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007006Kung merong mga local
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007007government unit na talagang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007008may magandang programa towards
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007009this, ay magandang makapartner
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007010ng DOH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007011at magamit yung pondong ito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007012sa different localities
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007013na merong ganitong programa.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007014Pero assured naman po kami
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007015doon sa aming bill
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007016na pinopropose, na hindi naman po
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007017mababawasan ang share
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007018na 50% na pinaghatian
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007019ng PhilHealth at DOH.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007020Kung sakasakali, yung
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007021nutrition programs ay doon
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007022po sa kalahati natin ito
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007023charge. So palagay ko dapat
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007024100% ang support na dapat
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007025ng DOH dito.
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman
asr-007026So maraming maraming salamat po
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007387na pag-usapan nito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007388bagkus na bigyan talaga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007389ng importansya, espasyo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007390para maging bukas sa iba
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007391at syempre ang mga adults
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007392that should be capacitated to respond

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007410and Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, gusto ko lang din po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007411i-put into the record
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007412na natanong na po kasi natin ito sa budget briefing
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007413pero it's unfortunate na may budget cut
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007414sa MOE
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007415ng NCMH
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007416311 pesos po ang budget cut nito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007417in an institution
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007418that supposedly promotes
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007419mental health at may ganitong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007420mandato na gawin sa pambansa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007421and we'd also like to highlight
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007422na kulang na kulang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007423yung ratio of personnel na may
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007424kayahan din pong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007425mag-undertake
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007426ng ganitong mga mekanismo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007427in NCMH
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007428mismo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007429for example, merong one nurse
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007430two pavilion ratio right now
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007431and each pavilion
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007432serves 100 to 150 patients
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007433merong one nurse
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007434attendant per 7 to 9 patients
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007435at kung na-disturb ang isang titi
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007436walang mga nakakatulong
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007437na nurse attendant
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007438delikado po ito dahil may possibility
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007439na pag nagwala ang patient
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007440maaari pong ma-endure
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007441mamatay at iba pa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007442so Mr. Speaker, good sponsor
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007443this is a
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007444plea from the representative
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007445of the youth
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007446that we have to place
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007447great importance
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007448sa pag-response sa mental health crisis
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007449inaasahan po natin ito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007450na lumabas sa budget
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007451inaasahan po natin ito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007452na lumabas sa mga programa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007453ng DOH
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007454pero
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007455niintay natin yung report
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007456on kung paano po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007457na-integrate sa schools
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007458pero hindi po promising
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007459na may ganitong budget cut
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007460sa NCMH
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007461Mr. Speaker, good sponsor
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007462I move on to my final line
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007463of questioning
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007464Mr. Speaker, good sponsor
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007465Tungkol naman po ito sa PhilHealth contributions ng ating overseas Filipino workers.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007466Pansin po natin na may dating circular na ang PhilHealth which directs overseas Filipino workers including land-based and sea-based workers to pay 3% of their income as a mandatory premium contribution with the premium rate increasing annually by 0.5% until 2024.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007467At hindi po nakakapagpanatagloob sa ating mga OFWs na makita yung corruption issue na hinarap ng PhilHealth several years back.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007468And with the current economic situation and the unresolved PhilHealth corruption issues, mas napopronounce yung kahirapan ng mga mamayang Pilipino sa contributions na lumalaki even up to 2024.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007469At hindi po makapagpanatagloob.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007470Tugma at maaaring may pagkaiba-iba sa mga sitwasyon depende po kung saan naka-estasyon ang mga OFWs.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007471So may I ask Madam, Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor, how much po ba is the total PhilHealth contributions of migrant workers in 2022 until present?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007472At ano pong porsyento nito ang total contributions collected by PhilHealth during this period?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007473We're just getting the figure.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007474Madam, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleen.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007475Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007503Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,

asr-007509At noong

asr-0075102021 is

asr-007511278 million.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007512Ano pong porsyento po nito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007513sa total contributions collected by
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007514Cell Health during this period? Neroon na po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007515kayang calculation nito?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007516Or isusumitin na lang po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007517ba ito?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007518So, just to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007519give additional figures,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007520out of 1,350,531
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007521migrant workers,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007522yung nakakapag-comply lang sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00752312-month contribution
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007524is only around
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00752531,805.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007526So, yung payment
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007527compliance percentage
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007528is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-0075292.4%,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007530Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007531So, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, dun po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007532sa breakdown na lang po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007533Ang quick maths na nakuha natin

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007535ng mga contributions

asr-007555Out of the 1 million plus

asr-007556na OFWs?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007560So, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007561kung hindi naman po kalakihan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007562yung contributions
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007563at meron pong mga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007564migrant workers na umaaray po talaga
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007565ang kanilang sahod
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007566dahil po sa mandatory
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007567contributions na to, why not
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-007569Ano po yung wisdom to continue
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007570yung mandatory contributions
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007571ng ating migrant workers?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007572Mr. Speaker, can you repeat
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007573the question, Honorable Colleague?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007574Bilang direct contributors po kasi,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007575the Universal Healthcare Act requires
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007576migrant workers to pay for
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007577full health contributions.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007578Bakit po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007579mandatory yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007580requirement for them to
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007581contribute? What if
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007582go in and why not make it voluntary?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007583Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007584lalo na po ang supporting
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007585data na pinapakita sa atin
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007586ay hindi naman po malaki.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007587At the end of the day,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007588yung contributions nila,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007589ang isang iniisip din natin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007590iba-iba yung regimes of
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007591healthcare sa kung saan man po sila
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007592nakaposte, may ilan po dyan,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007593free na yung healthcare sa mga bansang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007594pinagtatrabahoan nila.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007595And nonetheless,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007596ang gusto naman po natin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007597nating makita,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007598ay hindi po financial burden ito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007599sa OFWs.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007600Mr. Speaker, Madam
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007601Colleague, actually
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007602before the pandemic,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007603mataas po yung compliance
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007604ng pagbayad ng premium.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007605Nung nagka-pandemic po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007606and because of the unusual situation,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007607nagkaroon po ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007608POEA advisory.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007609Na hindi siya
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007610required because of the situation.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007611Doon po nagsimula
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007612bumaba yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007613compliance.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007614And syempre,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007615yung posisyon po ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007616dahil nga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007617kakulangan sa pondo
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007618from the mandated
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007619sources, mas gusto po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007620niya talaga na lahat ito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007621ay matanggap
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007622nang sa ganon ay makapagbigay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007623ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007624mas magandang serbisyo.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007625And para sa ating mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007626migrant workers,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007627sila po ay pwedeng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007628even as of now, mag-avail
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007629ng packages ng PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007630Kung nasa abroad man sila,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007631nire-reimburse po sila
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007632ng PhilHealth according to the package
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007633na kanilang na-avail.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007634Pati yung mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007635dependents, Madam
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007636Colleague.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007637I understand po, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007638Siguro, we can hash this out.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007639We can hash this out on a different platform.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007640Pero ang sa atin din naman po,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007641maaaring mas may
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007642pag-aaral pa
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007643kung ano pong mga OFWs
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007644yung kaya naman pong hindi gawing
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007645mandatory ang contribution, lalo na po
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007646kung saan po sila naka-estasyon,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007647ay sagot naman po ang healthcare nila
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007648doon. At
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007649hindi po additional burden
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007650yung ganitong 3%
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007651mandatory contribution
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007652dahil habang employed po sila sa ibang
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007653bansa, hindi naman po sila nasa Pilipinas.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007654May limitasyon
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007655yung kaya nilang gamitan ng beneficyo
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007656na ito habang nasa ibang bansa.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007657And so, at end of the day,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007658gusto natin tanggalin yung extra burden
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007659to our OFWs
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007660at i-considera
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007661na maging voluntary
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007662basis o kaya ayusin yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007663streamline yung
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007664contributions para po targeted
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007665kung paano at saan
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007666po makakapagbigay ng
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007667contribution instead. So,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007668nonetheless, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-007669good sponsor, the Makabayan Block
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007707Ibig sabihin,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007708kailangan pang maghanap
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007709ng 80,000 pesos na pambayad

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007730Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007731ito pong lima ay number one,

asr-007739gastritis.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007740In your review,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007741magkano po on average
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007742ang out-of-pocket expenses
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007743ng mga kababayan natin?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007744Sa mga cases na ito?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007745Well, we don't have the specific
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007746data for these five
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007747right now, but we have
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007748an overall average
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007749for all claimants
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007750and this is around 39 to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00775142 percent
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007752in private facilities
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007753and much lower sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007754government hospitals.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007755Distinguished sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007756ano ang rason bakit
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007757may out-of-pocket expenses?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007758Pa rin ang ating mga kababayan
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007759at bakit hindi nalang sagutin
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007760ng buo ng gobyerno
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007761sa laki ng binabawas na sahod
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007762ng mga manggagawang buwan-buwan?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007763Mr. Speaker, Honorable
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007764Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007765as I've mentioned earlier,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007766patuloy po na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007767mag-expand yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007768package ng PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007769para bumaba po yung out-of-pocket
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007770expense ng ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007771mga kababayan and
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007772itong top five
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007773na ito ay pwede rin pong ma-address
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007774ng YACAP program sa primary
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007775healthcare ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007776PhilHealth.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007779Maraming salamat,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007780Distinguished Sponsor.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007781In your estimate po ba,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007782how much would it cost PhilHealth?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007783If sasagutin ng buo
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007784or 100%,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007785ang top five or top ten
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007786na most availed medical cases po?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007787At this time,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007788Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007789we do not have the ready
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007790estimate for the top five
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007791or top ten most
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007792availed cases
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007793specifically. However,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007794to provide perspective on the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007795scale of financing that may be
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007796required, PhilHealth paid
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007797approximately
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007798329
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007799billion in claims
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007800in 2025.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007801Based on our estimates,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007802achieving
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007803an out-of-pocket share
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007804of around 25%
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007805would have been required
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007806benefit payment of roughly
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007807620 billion.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007808So, this
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007809indicates that substantially
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007810greater health financing
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007811would be required.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007812Resources would be needed
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007813to further reduce
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007814the financial burden of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007815patients.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007815-split-2Maraming salamat po
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007816sa paglinaw nito, no?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007817Sa susunod pong katanungan ko,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007818how much would it cost PhilHealth
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007819if we meet the
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007820World Health Organization recommendation
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007821to bring down
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007822out-of-pocket expenses
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007823to just 15%?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007824Ibig sabihin, PhilHealth
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007825will cover 85%
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007826of the expenses?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007827In 2025
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007828figures, it would have required
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007829PhilHealth to pay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007830794 billion pesos
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007831to reach the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00783215% target.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007833PhilHealth paid
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007834329 billion
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007835in claims once again
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007836in 2025.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007837Malayo pa rin doon
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007838sa katatuhanan. Ano ang
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007839kongkretong plano ng PhilHealth
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007840upang mas mapapababa pa
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007841ang out-of-pocket expenses?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007842ng ating mga kababayan?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007843Ang pinakamabilis
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007844na remedyo
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007845dito sa problema nito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007847convince our kababayans
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007849of these packages
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007850in the YACAP
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007851program para automatically
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007852covered na po sila

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007893kung magkano po talaga
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007894ang kailangan natin
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007895kung sakaling iko-cover po

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007898ay mapagbigyan nyo kami
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007899at ma-realize natin po ito.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007900Let's say,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007901si Z,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007902benefits,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007903para sa breast cancer.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007904For example, noong 2025.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007905Can you confirm that the total
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007906case amount is
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007907P239 million?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007908Tama po ba?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007909Ang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007910accurate figure po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007911Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007912Honorable Colleague, is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007913499.38 million
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007914for 4,145 claims.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007915It is an average
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007916of 120,477
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007917per claim
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007918and PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007919pays at most
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-0079201.4 million
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007921for breast cancer.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007922Okay. So in an average
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007923per patient, nasa 1.4 million.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007926Tama po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007927P120,000 po on the average.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007928P120,000, salamat.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007929Pero pwedeng tumaas yung claim up to 1.4 million.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007930Up to.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007931There's an article po doon sa 2024 that says PhilHealth can cover up to 1.4 million, gaya ng nasabi niyo po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007932Sa binanggit niyo pong 4,145 claims, cases last year, ilan dyan ang sinagot po ng up to 1.4 million ng PhilHealth?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007933Out of the 4,145 claims, tatlo lamang po ang binayaran ng PhilHealth ng 1.4 million cap.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007934Ibig sabihin, napaka-minimal.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007935Even sabihin, 0.00001% ang nakaka-claim ng 1.4 na average expenses ng PhilHealth.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007936May plano ba ang PhilHealth na i-expand ang mga benefit packages at pagandahin ang coverage para sa mga costly diseases?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007937Malaking bagay po kasi ito para maibsan naman ang financial burdens ng mga pasyente at kanilang mga pamilya.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007938The answer, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, is yes.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007939PhilHealth, together with the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, has developed a benefit prioritization framework to guide the evidence-based expansion of benefits.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007940The framework prioritizes conditions with the highest disease burden and financial risk, ensuring that limited resources are directed.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007942where they can deliver the greatest health, impact, and financial protection for our families.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007943Maraming salamat.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007944If I may continue, Distinguished Colleague, nung budget briefing ng DOH, lumabas po ito, ito po yung ginagawa ng ating PhilHealth.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007945Maraming salamat po dito.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007946Natanong po po ito.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007947Kasi gusto ko din pong ma-realize ng PhilHealth at ng DOH and siyempre ng ating mga distinguished colleagues dito sa Kongreso
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007948na ang mga mabibigat na mga sakit kagaya ng cancer, leukemia at iba pang nabanggit ko kanina,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007949pag ikaw ay tinamaan yan, most likely hindi ka na makakapagtrabaho.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007950At kung hindi ka na makakapagtrabaho, wala ka ng income, wala ka ng pang out of pocket.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007951Kaya po gusto ko po sana ma-realize ito na sana taasan po po natin or kung maaaring i-zero na po natin
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007952ang babayaran na out of pocket ng ating kababayan patungkol sa mga chronic diseases, yung mga mabibigat na mga diseases.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007953Anyway, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, maraming salamat po dito.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007954Noong budget briefing ng DOH at PhilHealth na ibahagi ni Secretary Marquez,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007955na from the proposed budget ng PhilHealth na P379B, tanging P73B lang ang pumasok sa 2027 NEP.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007956I just want to clarify, ano ang naging basis or batayan ng DOH at PhilHealth sa proposed ng P379B?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007957So, inalculate po ng PhilHealth and DOH, itong budget na ito based on payout.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007958So, from P376B, based on payout, ngayon po nasa P244B.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007959Kaya bumaba po, based on payout.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007960Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007961So, to clarify,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007962ng pre-proposed na P379B, isinama na ba ng DOH at PhilHealth sa calculation ang projected na mga revenues na earmarked by law for UHC,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007963particularly doon sa syntax collections natin?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007964Yes, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, kasama po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007965Pero ang nabigay, bariya pa rin. Tama po?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007966Mababa nga po yung nabigay.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007967Yes.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007968We have a report from DBM na may balance pa ng P140B for universal healthcare mula sa syntax revenues.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007969If ever i-release na ito ng DBM to PhilHealth,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007970how would you utilize the P140B?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007971P140B po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007972Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, magagamit po talaga ito sa benefit payout and the expansion of packages ng PhilHealth
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007973para mas makapagbigay ng health services sa ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007974Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007975Mr. Speaker, alam natin lahat na halos bawat pamilyang Pilipino ay may mahalos.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007976Sa buhay o kakilala na lumalaban sa cancer o linggo-linggo ay nagda-dialysis.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007977Kapag tumama ang ganitong malubhang karamdaman,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007978madalas ay hindi na nakakapagtrabaho ang pasyente kaya't nawawalan din ng kita ang pamilya.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007979Kaya naman, dapat lamang na mas lakihan pa ng PhilHealth ang sagutin sa mga bayarin.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007980At kayang-kaya po itong tustusan sa pamamagitan ng ating syntax.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007981Kaya sana, hinihiling ko po dito sa ating kongreso na ito'y madagdagan pa.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007982Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, ngayon ay dadako naman ako sa mga katanungan na nais ipahatid ng aming Senior Deputy Minority Leader na si Representative Laila Delima.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007983Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007984A persistent concern among hospitals nationwide is the challenge of securing additional budget,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007985and resources necessary to meet the level and quality of service delivery expected of them when they are upgraded.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007986When a hospital is upgraded, for example, from a Level 2 hospital to a Level 3 hospital,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007987who is in charge of requesting from the DBM the additional budget for the necessary plantelia positions?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007988Is it the DOH or is it the hospital?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007989Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, kapag na-upgrade po yung hospital, sinasubmit po kaagad ito sa DBM ng DOH para yung karapatang pondo ay matanggap.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007990Pero usually, hindi po overnight nangyayari ito. It takes about...
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007991So, in 2 to 4 months, natatanggap na po yung NOSCA, pero yung full staffing umabot po ng 3 to 5 years.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007992Sakaliman po, what is the rate at which upgraded hospitals are provided the updated staffings patterns appropriate for their levels?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007993Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007994Bulid, kung mamarapatin po, dahil specific na po ito, can the DOH submit the data to the Honorable Delima?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007995Yes po. I-inform ko na lang din po si Representative Delima.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007996Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-007997Susunod po, does it take months or years for hospitals that are upgraded to have additional plantelia positions?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-007998Yeah. Usually po, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, para makumpleto, it takes about 3 to 5 years.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-0079993 to 5 years. Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008000How long does it usually take for hospitals to secure endorsement from DOH?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008001Once the request is submitted to DBM, how long does it take for DBM?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008002How long does it take for DBM to approve the plantelia positions and release the funds for this?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008003Ang DOH po, kasabay ng mga batas na ating ginagawa po dito for upgrading and creating hospitals,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008004immediately, once approved, sinasubmit na po ng DOH sa DBM.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008005Tapos ang DBM naman po, between 2 to 4 months, ay binibigay natin.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008006Binibigay na po yung NOSCA.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008007As of now po, what percentage of hospitals have staffing patterns that are appropriate to their levels?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008008Mr. Speaker, kung mamarapatin po ng ating colleague, we will submit kasi kanya-kanyang compliance yung hinihinging data per hospital ng ating kasamahan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008009Mr. Speaker, ayos lang po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008010Thank you.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008011At ipapaabot din po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008012At ipapaabot din po kay Representative Dalim.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008013Salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008014In cases where the facility is under LGU management, does the local government hold the primary mandate to request and finance this new plantelia positions from the DBM?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008015Furthermore, does the DOH extend any counterpart financial assistance to support this local health facilities?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008016So, tama po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008017Ang mga LGU hospitals, ang LGU po ang nagsasubmit ng plantelia nito sa DBM.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008018Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008019At para na lamang po sa huling dalawang katanungan, ito'y patungkol po sa impact of RA 12231 or Government Optimization Act on health workforce.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008020Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, in August of last year,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008021the Republic Act No. 12231 or the Government Optimization Act was enacted,
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008022the law seeks to reorganize, merge, or rationalize redundant executive branch offices.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008023Under the law, only teaching and teaching-related positions and military and uniform personnel are excluded.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008024Ito po ang katanungan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008025Ano ang naging epekto ng RA 12231 sa pag-deliver ng frontline personnel?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008026Public Health Services.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008034To answer the question, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, ongoing po yung review with the support of the Asian Development Bank on the Organizational Development Consultant.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008035Pero dahil nga sa laki ng pangangailangan ng healthcare sa ating bansa at sa laki ng kakulangan, most likely, kailangan lumaki pa yung organization and the personnel that serve health in our country.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008036Tama po, no? Kaya finally po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, have the positions of doctors, nurses, and other health workers been updated?
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008037Have they been affected by this law? While there is indeed a need for optimization to boost bureaucratic efficiency, hindi naman po tama kung maapektuhan ang frontline health services na dapat kailangan-kailangan ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008038Dapat exempted din ang ating mga health workers sa optimizations program na ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008039So, most likely, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008040Yung implementation po nito, most likely, hindi nga po liliit pero ang increase will be in the frontlines sa regions and on the ground sa mga local government units.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008041Pero sa central level, dun po, hindi na po talaga mag-expand.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008042Maraming salamat po, distinguished sponsor. Maraming salamat, Mr. Sponsor.
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula
asr-008043Mr. Speaker, yun na po ang huli kong katanungan at itong representanteng ito ay sumusuporta po sa pag-increase ng budget ng PhilHealth. Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008044Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, at sa ating ginagalang na colleague, kay Honorable Ismula. Maraming salamat po.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-008045Majority Leader.
Rep. Katrina Reiko Chua-Tai
asr-008046Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate, I move that we recognize the Honorable Antonio L. Tino of ACT Teachers Partylist.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-008047Our last interpellator.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-008048Honorable?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008048-split-2May isa pa.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-008048-split-3Ah, meron pa ba? Oo. Hindi, [unclear].
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-008048-split-4Second to the last, honorable Antonio Tino.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez
asr-008049Alam ko naman, short lang ito. Thank you.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008050Thank you, Mr. Speaker. May ilang mga topics po tayo to the sponsor. Simulan na natin. Una po, meron po tayong presentation.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008051Kapos lang po muna, tayin lang natin yung presentation.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008052Iyan. Okay. So, una tungkol sa maisip.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008053So, I brought this up during the budget briefings and bring it up here again.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008054Sinurvey po natin, on-review yung 10 years, 1 decade worth of MAIFIC plus the proposal for 2027.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008055Ang nakikita natin dyan, NEP and GAA side by side.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008056The blue is the, well, the total bars there are for the DOH, central office pa lang ito, office of the secretary.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008057And the orange part would be the MAIFIC portion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008058So, in 2020, unang observation, for 2016 up to 2018,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008059more or less, kung ano ang pinropose ng NEP, more or less, not exactly,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008060pero more or less, yun ang aprobahan sa GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008061Pero starting in 2019, nakita na natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008062So, 2019, this is before the pandemic, so hindi pwedeng pandemic lang ang explanation dito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0080632019 to 2026, nakita natin na,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008064ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008065may significant congressional intervention, let's call it that, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008066Ibig sabihin, dinadagdagan significantly ng kongreso yung budget, as seen in the GAA.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008067So, we can see that, just from the shapes, diba, of the tabs, of the bars.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008068Okay, and also, the other notable thing is, yung orange, dyan yung MAIFIC,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008069compared to the rest of the,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008070the DOH budget, Office of the Secretary,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008071noticeable din, starting in, especially 2019 onwards,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008072papalaki na yung MAIFIC, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008073So that, if you notice, in 2016, MAIFIC was
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0080741.4 billion pesos,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008075and,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008076at its peak,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008077that is in 2024,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008078through the action of Congress, naging 58 billion pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008079No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008080So, 1.4 naging 58 billion pesos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008081No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008082So, practically, times 58.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008083Yung inilaki.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008084For 2026, the current year,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00808551 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008086Again,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008087through significant,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008088significant addition or amendment by Congress.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008089Yung proposal sa NEP, 24,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008090naging 51 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008091In 20,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008092for 2027, the proposal is,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008093again, 24 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008094No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008095So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008096bakit po natin nire-raise ito?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008097Una, nakikita natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008098papalaking portion ng DOH budget,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008099ay nakalaan sa patronage-based
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008100or politicized na medical assistance.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008101Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008102Why do we say that?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008103Because,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008104yung MAIFIC, alam naman natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008105yan yung discretionary na ayuda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008106This is not like PhilHealth, for example,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008107where everyone is entitled.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008108Wala nang kwestyon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008109Basta member ka ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008110you get,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008111you get whatever is the,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008112ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008113benefit sa PhilHealth.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008114Ganon din yung sabihin natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008115yung zero-balance policy,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008116zero-balance billing policy,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008117no questions yun.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008118Basta nasa ward ka,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008119government hospital,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008120covered.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008121Pero yung MAIFIP,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008122even though,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008123officially, it is not acknowledged,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008124alam naman ng publiko.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008125No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008126The main way to access MAIFIP is through
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008127the congressman or senator.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008128Kahit hindi officially nakasulat,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008129pero yun ang realidad.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008130Some offices,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008131they still issued guarantee letters
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008132para tanggapin sa hospital.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008133So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008134unang tanong siguro,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008135hihingi ba ng mas malaking MAIFIP
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008136ang DOH for 2027?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008137Meron po bang request for additional MAIFIP
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008138as a so-called institutional amendment?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008139Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008140Honorable Tino,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008141actually,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008142ang request po ng DOH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008143sa MAIFIP
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008144is around 63 billion.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008145This is part of the proposal
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008146for 2027.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008147Pero maybe because of fiscal space,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008148ang naalat po sa NEP
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008149is 24.2 billion.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008150So, malaki po yung naging cut.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008151And the DOH,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008152syempre, kung madadagdagaan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008153ng pondo,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008154any of its program,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008155lalong-lalo na po dito sa MAIFIP,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008156they will welcome it
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008157ng kanilang mayutilize.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008158And if I may add,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008159Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008160mataas po yung utilization
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008161ng MAIFIP.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008162Okay. So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008163actually, ang hinihingi pala,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008164ay 63 billion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008165So, 24 lang ang nasa NEP.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008166So, presumably,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008167gusto nila yung 63 billion
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008168na madagdag, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008169Well, the question then becomes,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008170why request
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008171additional funds
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008172under MAIFIP?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008173Eh, yun,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008174as everyone knows,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008175at maraming mga kababayan natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008176citizens,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008177members of the public,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008178umaangal nga.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008179Tingin nila,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008180bakit kayo,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008181kailangang dumaan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008182sa congressman,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008183sa senator,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008184sa politiko,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008185para maka-access
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008186ng feeling nila
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008187ay karapatan nila
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008188and this is the taxpayer's money.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008189So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008190bakit po ganoon?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008191Kasi nga,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008192sabi, alimbawa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008193we have a free
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008194tertiary education law.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008195So, kaya nga pinasa yun,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008196para hindi ka na kailangang dumaan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008197sa politiko
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008198to be able to enroll
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008199in a state university,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008200or college.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008201Diba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008202Ang gusto ng mamamayan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008203and it's reasonable,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008204if health is a right,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008205bakit kailangang pang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008206idaan through
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008207what is essentially
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008208political patronage?

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008340Bed capacity.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008341Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008345by the DOH

asr-008346with
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008347voluminous data.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008350on expanding bed capacity.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008351So, meron pong mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008368a comprehensive list
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008369of bed capacity
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008370in private hospitals

asr-008371nationwide.

asr-008373Anyway,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008374essentially, data dump.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008375So, kailangan suriin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008376At ano po yung mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008377nakita natin?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008378Next slide.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008379Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008380Well,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008381batay sa datos po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008382nang binigay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008383First of all,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008384according to the data,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008385there is a total
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008386of 129,950
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008387sorry,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008388120,915
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008389total bed capacity
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008392nationwide
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008393in 2026
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008394combined public and private.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008395Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008396Tapos, dun sa slide na to naman,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008397government versus private.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008398No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008399Yung,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008400ang makikita po natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008401the takeaways here are,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008402first of all,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008403more or less nationwide,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00840451%,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008405yung pinakababa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00840651%
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008407of total bed capacity,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00840851% government,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008409yung blue.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008410And then yung red,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008411yun yung private.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00841240%,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00841349% private.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008414Tama po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008415Ganun yung split.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008416Batay sa datos nyo.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008417Tama po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008418Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008419But we also notice,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008420sa BARM,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00842173% ay government.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008422No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008423Samantalang sa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008424let's see.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008425For example,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008426in NCR,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008427ay,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008428nasa na,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008429yun,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008430NCR,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00843161% ang government,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00843239% ang private.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008433So, anyway,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008434makikita natin,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008435interestingly,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008436of all places,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008437nung nagulat tayo,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008438for example,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008439in Calabarzon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008440one of the most populous regions,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008441yung nasa baba po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00844227% lang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008443ang government beds,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008444hospital beds.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008445Tapos,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00844673% private.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008447Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008448In other words,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008449pinapakita natin dito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008450yung,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008451yung regions from,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008452yung,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008453Central Luzon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008454Central Visayas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008455NIR,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008456Davao,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008457Soktarjen,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008458and Calabarzon,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008459mas marami po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008460yung,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008461private,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008462kesa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008463public hospitals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008464So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008465dun pa lang,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008466of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008467may issue na,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008468kasi,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008469private means,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008470mabayaran,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008471di ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008472O,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008473mas may babayaran ka.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008474Whereas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008475public,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008476especially,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008477with the zero-balance billing policy,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008478pag wardbed yan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008479and,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008480ang policy naman,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008481pag government hospital,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00848290% and above,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008483have to be wardbeds.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008484No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008485So, may issue na po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008486Kaya po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008487tinatanong natin ito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008488because,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008489precisely,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008490of the,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008491of the,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008492zero-balance billing policy.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008493No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008494Maganda yan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008495dahil,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008496pag nasa wardbed ka,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008497libre.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008498No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008499Pero,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008500kailangan,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008501pa-admit ka.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008502So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008503this is a function,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008504yung access,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008505is a function of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008506being accepted.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008507Pwede kang ma-admit.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008508So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008509kaya po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008510issue,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008511halimbawa,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008512ang nagulat ako,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008513Lalo na sa Calabarzon, kasi outside of Metro Manila, one of the most developed regions and yet I was surprised to see na Calabarzon and Central Luzon ay mas konti pala ang government hospital beds kumpara sa private hospitals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008514So in other words, mas magastos ang access to health services sa mga regiyong ito. So yan, one insight from the data provided by.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008515And then the next table, yung, well matanong po, ano po ba ang ginagamit na ngayon ng DOH na standard?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008516Standard for determining adequacy of beds. Kasi it used to be, ang alam natin, one bed for every 1,000 patients, or 1,000 population.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008517Pero last year, during the budget hearings last year, si then Secretary Herbosa, sinabi niya may bagong target na rano, 1.5 to every 1,000 bed capacity.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008518Yun na po ba ang standing ngayon, yung 1.5?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008519Ang ginagamit na standard po, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague ng DOH, is 1.5 per 1,000 population.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008520Ayun na po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008521Well, thank you for that. And then, so therefore, in our, yan, okay, in our, in this visualization, yung second line po, the second vertical line, that's the 1.5, no?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008522So, ano po ang makikita natin dito? Ang makita po natin, apart from NCR, where the ratio is 2.19 per 1,000 bed capacity, all the other regions fall short of the 1.5.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008523Ang pinakamalapit na Soxargen, pero as I said, nagulat din tayo na malala pala talaga ang shortage sa Calabarzon, sa Central Luzon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008524In Central Luzon, it's 0.97 beds per 1,000.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008525In Calabarzon, 0.8 per 1,000.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008526Mimaropa, 0.68, yun ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008527pinakamalala. Apart
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008528from BARM, no, talagang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008529worst of all, BARM,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0085300.25. Somehow,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008531hindi tayo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008532nagulat sa BARM, pero
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008533mas nagulat tayo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008534dun sa mga malaking
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008535region sa Luzon.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008536No? Normally,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008537we're used to seeing na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008538Luzon, medyo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008539relatively
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008540well provided for.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008541Pero hindi pala gano'n when it comes
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008542to hospital beds, both government
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008543and private.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008544Okay. So, nakikita po natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008545yung shortages. This is what it shows.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008546So, next slide.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008547So, therefore, kung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008548sasagutin natin, ilan ang kulang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008549to reach the 1.5
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008550per 1,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008551hospital bed ratio, we look
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008552at the second figure. That's
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008553yung 1.5. Kailangan po ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00855448,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008555additional beds
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008556para maabot ito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008557Okay? So, gano'n po yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008558magnitude. So, we're putting a
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008559figure. This is based on
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008560yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008561well, the latest population data.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008562So, 48,200 po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008563ang kulang. So, para magkaroon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008564tayo ng kongretong target.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008565Next slide.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008566Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008567How about...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008568Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008569Another figure, of course,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008570yung over-concentration pa rin sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008571NCR. NCR has
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00857212.4% of the total population
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008573but 25.1
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008574fourth of all the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008575authorized beds. So, may
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008576konsentrasyon talaga sa NCR
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008577and almost 50%
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008578kalahati ng mga tertiary
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008579level beds. Level 3.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008580Level 3. Yung mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008581pinaka
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008582highest level ng hospitals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008583So, talaga pong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008584nakakonsentra sa NCR. Yan po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008585ang pinapakita niyan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008586Now, next slide.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008587Itong slide na to,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008588kinapakita na po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008589kung gano'n karami
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008590yung nadagdag
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008591na hospital beds batay sa datos
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008592na binigay from 2023 to
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0085932026. So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0085943-year period. Or less than 3 years.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00859530-month period, actually.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008596Ang sabi po sa datos
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008597ay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008598ahm...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008599total of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0086007,145 beds
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008601were added
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008602between
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00860323 and 2026.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0086047,315.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008605Okay.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008606However,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008607so, some
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008608additional points
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008609dun sa 7,000 plus na yun,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00861027%
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008611sa NCR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008612So, more than a quarter
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008613of the expansion
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008614in bed capacity,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008615nakakonsentra din sa NCR.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008616Tapos, another data point there
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008617is that the expansion
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008618was largely...
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008619Next slide.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008620Mainly government.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0086216,612.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008622Tapos, yung private hospital
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008623expansion, 533 lang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008624So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008625so, okay. So, ganun din.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008626Okay. And then, the last slide,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008627to complete the analysis of the data
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008628provided, ay
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008629given the current rate,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008630batay sa datos nyo,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008631nadagdagdagan ng 2,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008632beds a year.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008633So, para mabut yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0086341.5 beds per 1,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008635and
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008636allowing for
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008637a .85%
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008638population growth rate, batay sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008639latest statistics,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008640the gap will be, the ratio will be reached in 2072.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008641So, anong po? Obviously, ang punto po nito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008642napakabagal
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008643ng expansion.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008644No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008645And this validates, this data
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008646is validated by,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008647o nagpapatutoo
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008648dun sa karanasan ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008649mga kababayan natin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008650Na kahit sa NCR, eto lang meron tayong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008651report, for example, NKTI
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008652may teacher na sinugod,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008653for an emergency sa NKTI,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00865424 hours.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008655Nakaupo lang siya sa
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008656emergency room,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008657nakaupo sa wheelchair, kasi walang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008658kama, tapos it took about
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00865924 hours bago magkaroon
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008660ng libring kama
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008661para ma-admit siya.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008662I am sure that is a
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008663common experience, NCR
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008664na po ito, lalo pa sa labas.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008665So, yun po ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008666tanong natin. Napakatindi po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008667ng kakulungan ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008668hospital beds, bakit po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008669kapos na kapos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008670Ang expansion,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0086712,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008672beds per year
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008673is not enough.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008674In the same way na sinisingil natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008675ng deped, yung kanilang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008676classroom construction rate na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008677roughly
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008678less than 5,000 a year
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008679ay kulang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008680So, bakit po ganon?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008681Ah, so yun po,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008682ano po ang, ano ba ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008683plano ng DepEd, ah,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008684ng DepEd, ng DOH to address
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008685this basic
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008686question of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008687access, di ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008688Yun po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008689Thank you, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008690Honorable Colleague.

asr-008694insightful itong mga data na ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008695And DOH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008696would like to begin with
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008697the low-lying fruit,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008698the solution, dito sa napakalaking
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008699problema ng lack of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008700hospital beds.

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008705hospital cluster
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008706in the central office,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008707pati po sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008708overseeing

asr-008709the CHDs, at nung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008710mga in-implement na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008711HFEP on the local level
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008712para mapabilis yung implementasyon.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008713Dati po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008714nakaligtaan dahil
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008715yung iba dito, in-implement ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008716DPWH at yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008717inventaryo ay hindi agad
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008718naman nabibigay sa DOH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008719So right now, yun po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008720ang tinututukan para
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008721ma-inventaryo, ano yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008722malapit na matapos, para
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008723mapondohan at matapos na, at
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008724agarang makadagdag.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008725Dito po sa kakulangan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008726Number two,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008727dun po sa data
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008728na pinakita nyo, yun din po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008729yung i-analysa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008730ng hospital
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008731cluster para makita
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008732yung mga regions
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008733na malalaki ang kulang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008734na hospital.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008735Lang sa ganon, targeted
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008736at hindi shotgun approach
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008737ay dun sa mga kulang,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008738especially to the regions that you have
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008739showed, ay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008740makapag-intervene kagad with the local
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008741government unit, ang ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008742DOH. Number
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008743three, dun po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008744sa 10%
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008745ratio
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008746ng ward beds
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008747with the private hospital,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008748kailangan ma-implement
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008749po kaagad.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008750Nang sa ganon, yung accessibility
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008751ng ating mga kababayan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008752sa mas murang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008753health services, ay ma-avail nila
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008754all across the country.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008755And masasama nga po ito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008756dun sa bagong MOA na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008757gagawin ng DOH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008758with the private hospital
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008759na kailangan kung mag-o-op-in
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008760sila dito sa programa,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008761maging compliant sila sa mga bagay na ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008762Ma-establish yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00876310%, ward level
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008764po ito,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008765makap yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008766hospital bill at
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008767professional fee, at
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008768kailangan tanggapin din po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008769ng mga doktor yung professional
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008770fee from the MYFIP.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008771Nang sa ganon, ay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008772wala nang hospital
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008773detention na mangyari
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008774na napakalaking problema rin po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008775sa ating bansa.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008776At the same time, according to our secretary,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008777ang BOI po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008778or Bureau of Investment,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008779ay may binibigay na incentive
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008780for the private hospital.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008781Nang sa ganon, ay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008782sumabay din po sila
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008783sa pag-construct ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008784hospital beds
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008785ng government.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008786So, itong incentive na ito,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008787sa tariff-free on
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008788importations
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008789and capital goods
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008790and so on and so forth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008791para ma-encourage po yung private sector
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008792na sumabay po. Dahil tama po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008793kayo, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008794Mr. Speaker, napakalaki po ng gap
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008795sa kasalukuyan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008796On the last point,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008797yung pag-asa na private sector
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008798ang mag-expand ng bed capacity,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008799well, so far, batay sa datos nyo,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008800very minimal po ang contribution
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008801nila. As I showed in the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008802last, one of the
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008803last slides, in a three-year
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008804period, 533 lang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008805ang dinagdag ng private hospitals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008806The bulk of additional
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008807bed space is
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008808through government hospitals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008809So, yun ang realidad.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008810Para ma-address ito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008811kailangan dagdagan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008812ang private hospitals.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008813May isang slide po tayo earlier, very quickly.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008814Your data
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008815provided to us shows may gap
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008816between authorized
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008817bed capacity and
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008818authorized bed capacity by license.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008819For example, by license,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008820yung Mariveles
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008821Mental Wellness and General Hospital
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008822sa distrito po ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008823if I'm not mistaken, correct,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008824ni Honorable
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008825Garcia,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008826518 daw
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008827ang ABC by license, pero actual
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008828ay 18 lang.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008829Ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008830authorized bed capacity,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008831ano pong explanation nun? So, sa batas,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008832sabi, pwedeng may 518, ganun po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008833Pero ang actual,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-00883418 lang. Ganun po ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008835Yun ba ang ibig sabihin yan?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008836Sinisikap lang po natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008837nintindihin yung datos.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008838So, yung iba naman,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008839600 yung
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008840Region 1 Medical Center,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008841600 yung by license, pero
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008842300 lang yung capacity.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008843Bicol Medical Center,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-0088441,000 by license,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008845800 yung actual. Ano po ibig sabihin nun?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008846Sa inyo po galing yan eh.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008847Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008848Honorable colleague, in the case of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008849Mariveles, we are familiar
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008850of the situation.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008851Dahil po binagawin yung classification,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008852dati mental
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008853health facility,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008854nilagyan po siya ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008855General Hospital component.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008856So, dun po, yun po yung pinupunan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008857ngayon.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008858And, nabanggit po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008859many times ng ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008860sekretary, na yung isang challenge
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008861nga po dun sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008862healthcare professionals or the lack of it.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008863Kaya,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008864it's a challenge to
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008865attract
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008866healthcare professionals to apply
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008867sa mga plantilya na ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008868Buti po,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008869sa bataan, meron na pong College of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008870Medicine, and hopefully
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008871in this case,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008872yung mga kakulangan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008873in the near future ay
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008874hopefully mapunan. At ganun din po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008875sa mga ibang lugar na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008877nabanggit po ninyo.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008878Thank you for that, Mr. Speaker. Actually,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008879yun na yung pwedeng targetin.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008880May mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008881licensed na bed capacity na hindi
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008882pa na ma-maximize. So, pwedeng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008883yun na ang targetin ng
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008884DOH. But,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008885I'm not hearing about a concrete proposal
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008886for that.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008887Dahil patapos na po ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008888oras ko, ito na lang,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008889mga mahalagang punto.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008890I noted in the briefings, but
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008891I want to register it here in plenary
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008892na meron pong mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008893maraming hospital na may MOE
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008894cuts. Sa halip na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008895dagdagan ng MOE, binawasan pa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008896A total
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008897of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008898well,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008899kasama po rito,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008900Fabelia, East Avenue,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008901National Center for
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008902Mental Health,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008903Orthopedic, Irino Medical,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008904Rizal Medical Center,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008905Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008906Batanes General Hospital,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008907marami pa po, Laguna Regional
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008908Hospital, cuts.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008909In the case of
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008910Southern Luzon Multispecialty
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008911Medical Center, walang MOE.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008912100%, zero.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008913Okay?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008914Bicol Regional Hospital, etc.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008915Cuts
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008916ranging from 3%
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008917to 75%,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008918to 100% in one
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008919case. So,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008920nire-registro po natin yan, bakit
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008921ganon? At
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008922pangalawa, may mga hospital naman na may
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008923mga cuts sa personnel services.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008924Kulang na kulang na ang
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008925ratio natin ng health worker
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008926to patient. Binawasan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008927pa ang personnel services.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008928Again, a large
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008929number, nire-registro po natin
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008930na dapat i-restore at dagdagan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008931No?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008932Pero ang tanong po, bakit po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008933binawasan sa inyong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008934proposal, sa NEP?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008935Thank you.
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008938Thank you, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008939Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008940Yung karamihan po dito
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008941sa mga hospital na inyong binanggit,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008942ay binawasan po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008943ng DBM, pero
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008944inaapila ng DOH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008945And in the meantime,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008946siguro, I'm not speaking on behalf of
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008947DBM, siguro nakita nila na may
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008948retained
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008949earnings na pwedeng gamitin for
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008950MOE.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008951That is probably why.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008952And some of the hospitals
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008953ay hindi pa po operational.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008954Kaya wala pang MOE.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008955Pero pag nag-operate na,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008956bibigyan din po ng MOE.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008957This is part of the appeal
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008958ng DOH para
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-008959mabigyan po sila ng MOE.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008960Well, bilang pangwakas, sinusuportahan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008961po natin yung appeal. Dapat madagdagan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008962ng MOE na mga ito, hindi mabawasan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-008963At kasama rin po
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-009052ang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009053nangangailangan,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009054kailangan ng parental consent.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009055Ah, kailangan po ng parental consent?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009056Pag minor.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009057Paano po ito dinidispense?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009058Kailangan ba ng consultation
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009059or doctor's prescription?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009060Or can someone just simply obtain it?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009061Pupunta po sa health center,

Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009073sa HIV prevention
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009074education natin
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009075for minors.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009076Since sabi nyo po,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009077pag minor, kailangan ng parental consent.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009078Hindi po ba dapat
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009079malinaw na the safest way
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009080to completely avoid sexual
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009081transmission of HIV,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009082other STIs,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009083and until

Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009085is abstinence.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009086Kung baga, before discussing
Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-009359488 problematic
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009360infrastructure projects
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009361worth P17.27
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009362billion
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009363plus 388
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009364equipment contracts involving
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009365idle, uninstalled, or
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009366undelivered equipment.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009367Saan po ba nanggagaling yung
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009368bottleneck?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009369Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009370Honorable Colleague, ito po yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009371nabanggit din po na problema.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009372Dahil hindi lang po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009373DOH alone
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009374ang nag-implement nito,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009375may mowa po ito sa mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009376LGUs at maraming
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009377bahagi o responsibilidad
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009378na dapat gampanan ng mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009379LGUs once this is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009380turned over. So,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009381siguro sa kakulangan din ang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009382pondo sa LGUs,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009383excited sila tumanggap ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009384healthcare facilities.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009385Pero pag dumating na yung
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009386kanilang pagkakataon
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009387na gampanan yung kanilang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009388responsibilidad, baka
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009389sa kakulangan din ang kanilang budget
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009390natitinga yung facility
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009391na ito. And,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009392binanggit po kanina ni Secretary
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009393na an inventory
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009394is currently being done
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009395dun sa ginawa ng DOH
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009396at ginawa ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009397DPWH. Mag-e-establish
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009398po ng hospital
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009399cluster.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009400In the central level that will manage
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009401all the CHDs
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009402hanggang sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009403LGU level. Nang sa ganon
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009404ay hindi na maulit
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009405itong mga kakulangan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009406na nangyari. At the same
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009407time, imo-modify po yung mowa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009408at may mga prerequisites
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009409na siguro
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009410umpisa pa lang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009411ano na,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009412meron ng guarantee o kasiguraduhan
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009413na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009414yung side ng
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009415LGU
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009416ay kanilang magagampanan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009417Nang sa ganon, hindi na po masayang.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009418Suggestion lang,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009419distinguished colleague, baka po dapat
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009420dun nga sa amendment ng kontrata,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009421lalo na if the implementation
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009422bottleneck is with the LGU,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009423baka dapat po meron mga performance
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009424bonds, baka may mga ganon po requirement.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009425So that
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009426they can be held liable
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009427for the delays.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009428That is a very good suggestion,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009429Mr. Speaker, at na-recommendation.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009430Naninig po ni Secretary,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009431together sa pag-establish ng project manager
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009432na tututok dito,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009433tama yung pag-implement ng mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009512Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009513this is in response.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009514So, ang unang tugon po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009515ng DOH, first,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009516warning, depending
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009517on the gravity of the
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009518situation, pero
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009519kapag
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009520repeat
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009521offender
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009522at meron ng mga safety issues,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009523Ire-revoke po yung license. Penalize, then revoke the license.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009523-split-2Yung ni-report po natin na 267, anong taon po yun?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009523-split-3According to the data, yung 267 is for the year 2025.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009524And that is for detention?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009524-split-2Mostly, yes.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009524-split-3Sa ano po? Dun po sa deposit?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009524-split-4Actually, yan po ang pinakamaraming reklamo, yun sa deposit.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009524-split-5Hindi tinatanggap yung mga pasyente hanggang hindi nagdi-deposito. Mamamatay na, kailangan mag-deposito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009524-split-6Kinukuha lang po yung data.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009524-split-7Hindi gagamutin hanggang hindi dinideposito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009524-split-8I understand, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009572So,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009573for 2024,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009574meron pong dalawang complaint
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009575na may kinalaman dito sa

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009579anim sa 2025,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009580at apat
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009581ngayong 2026.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009582Parang sa akin pa lang po yata.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009583Lumampas na yung reklamo dyan.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009584Anyway,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009585meron po bang
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009586the distinguished sponsor,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009587Mr. Speaker, meron po ba tayong
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009588like a seal of good governance
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009589na ini-implement para sa mga
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009590hospital? Na parang
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009591nagkakaroon tayo ng rating sa kanila
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009592and when
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009593pag wala pong silang
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009594pag wala pong silang mga violation
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009595na ganito,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009596parang
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009597mas maganda ang rating nila.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009598And we can
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009599recommend them to
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009600patients.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009601Meron pong
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009602kasalukuyan, existing
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009603star award, pero
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009604ayon sa ating
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009605sekretary ng DOH,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009606i-improve pa para talagang
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009607makita yung performance
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009608ng hospital.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009609Thank you for that, distinguished sponsor, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009610Let me move to
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009611yung 24-hour emergency
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009612care gap.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009613If a patient is admitted, but
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009614medically ready for discharge in less
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009615than 24 hours,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009616what
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009617PhilHealth benefit applies?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009618We should not keep
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009619someone unnecessarily
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009620just to qualify
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009621for a benefit.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009622So, ang tinatanong ko po dito,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009623conversely,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009624more than 24 hours
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009625nasa ER
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009626because the hospital is full,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009627but technically, hindi
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009628admitted. So, ano pong benefit
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009629ang mag-a-apply?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009630So, again,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009631your timing is
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009632impeccable.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009633Honorable colleague, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009634PhilHealth already
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009635issued policy
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009636effective September
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00963718 with regards
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009638to admission less than
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00963924 hours, and
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009640that will now be
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009641covered. So, pag ikaw po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009642ay na-ER, lumampas ka na
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009643ng 24 hours, pinaalis
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009644ka, dahil
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009645pwede ka na umalis, kaso
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009646pinaalis ka,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009647pwede ka na mag-qualify.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009648Tama po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009649And if you are
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009650admitted, if you nagpa-check-up ka,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009651in-admit ka,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009652pero pinalabas ka in less than
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-00965324 hours, covered ka na rin.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009654Tama po.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009655Magandang balita po yan.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009656Maraming salamat. Distinguished po.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009657Sponsor, maraming salamat sa DOH.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009658Let me move to my next question.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009659Mr. Speaker, quick question lang for
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009660PhilHealth. Are you planning to
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009661expand benefits for diabetes
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009662and heart disease?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009663Specifically, coverage
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009664for glucose monitoring devices
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009665for diabetic patients
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009666and increased coverage for cardiac devices
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009667such as pacemakers?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009668Honorable colleague, Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009669kasalukuyang pong
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009670pinag-aaralan ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009671dahil medyo may kamahalan po yung mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009672devices na ito, pero dun po
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009673sa yakap at gamot package,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009674pinoprovide na po yung mga
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009675insulin.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009676Kaya po sa mga device,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009677medyo may kamahalan.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009678Distinguished colleague,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009679these are concerns raised by
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009680the Philippine Society of Pediatric
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009681Metabolism and Endocrinology
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009682and the Philippine Heart
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009683Rhythm Society.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009684Napag-aralan na po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009685Natanggap na po ng PhilHealth at kasalukuyang po ang pinag-aaralan.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009686Kung sakali po bang magiging medically justified yan, magkano ang kakailanganin na additional funding ng PhilHealth para sa 2027?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009687At this point, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, wala pang figure kasi kasalukuyang pinag-aaralan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009688But PhilHealth can update the Honorable Nassal on this.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009689But it is a consideration. We are considering expanding the service.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009690Yeah, well, pinag-aaralan po, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009691Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009692May I move now to Yakap.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009693To Yakap.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009694Mr. Speaker, once PhilHealth pays an LGU for its services,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009695Yakap patients, how do you ensure that money actually improves that health center?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009696Doctors, medicines, laboratories, diagnostics, and equipment?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009697Kasi po, di ba currently, parang nagmumawa lang yung mga LGU.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009698So, ang tinatanong lang po natin is, is there an assurance na pag nabayaran na po sila, dumami yung PhilHealth, yung Yakap patients,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009699how will we assure na ito pong mga LGUs will improve on their health centers na ginawa po nilang Yakap Center?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009700Thank you.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009701So, dun po sa mga accredited LGUs na qualified na po or accredited for the Yakap program,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009702syempre may computation fund po ito.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009703And, dapat lamang na yung LGU ginagamit ito to improve their facility.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009704So, the question po, tama po yun.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009705So, the question is, how do we assure that they will improve on the facility?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009706Is there a change in the contract or the qualification?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009707Kasi po, di ba, right now, we allow them to become Yakap, to be accredited as a Yakap facility
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009708on the condition that they...
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009709Have a MOA with either hospitals or diagnostic clinics.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009710Tama po yun, yung mga primary health care centers, pwedeng mag-outsource habang wala pa sila na mga facilities na ito.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009711So, how long will we allow that until we expect improvement from their own facilities?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009712Originally, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, 2027 yung deadline.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009713Pero, we understand, iba-iba yung kapasidad ng bawat LGU.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009714Kaya, some may comply and some may lag behind, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009715Mr. Speaker, my next question is, Distinguished Sponsor,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009716do we monitor whether LGU Yakap facilities are actually issuing gamot prescriptions?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009717Because kami po, nakikita namin na may patients who cannot access Yakap gamot
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009718because the LGU is waiting for its own Yakap gamot accreditation.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009719Is an LGU allowed to delay or withhold a medically indicated prescription for that reason?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009720So, opo, the answer is yes, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, minomonitor po.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009721And in order to improve the system further, ngayon po, yung mga medicine, ililipat na po dun sa gamot program
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009722para to ensure na may constant and reliable supply because these are relationships with the pharmacy.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009723Are we also looking into the possibility of not limiting the prescription coming from Yakap accredited doctors?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009724From PhilHealth, including yung PhilHealth universe na po ng mga doctors?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009725Currently po, kailangan dun sa accredited health provider.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009726Hindi siya pwedeng coming from, tapos mag-avail sa mga accredited doctors ng PhilHealth,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009727tapos mag-avail na lang sa Yakap.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009728Pwede pong pag-aralan, pero para may control po tayo sa quality ng service na ibibigay at hindi magka-problema,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009729yun po ngayon yung sistema.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009730Thank you.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009731Thank you for that.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-009732For everything, Mr. Sponsor.

asr-009773dun po sa probinsya.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009774Mr. Speaker,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009775sa atin pong butihing sponsor,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009783Mga probinsya po na kasalukuyang walang DOH managed medical facility, mayroon na bang initial assessment ang DOH? Kung alin ang may mga kakayhang matugunan through upgrading or conversion? At alin ang mga mangangailangan talaga ng bagong hospital?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009784Mr. Speaker, yung nabanggit ko po kanina na innovative solution ng ating sekretary with regards to all these gaps, yung hospital cluster na i-create na magmamanage ng mga CHDs in the region hanggang sa local level,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009785yun po ang magdedetermine kung ano yung mga strategic options.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009786And surgical, if I may say, interventions na gagawin ng DOH para mapunan kaagad yung mga pagkukulang na ito.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009787Maraming salamat po sa ating buting sponsor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009788Ang susunod na katanungan ko po ay may kinalaman sa mental health.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009789Ano po ang mga kongkretong gagawin ng DOH para ma-resolve ba ang mahirap at mabagal na repairal system para sa mental health patients, lalo na sa inyong mga nasa malalayong municipalities at provinces?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009791Kunin ko lang po yung listahan para sa sagot ng inyong katanungan, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Minister.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009792Thank you.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009794So, ito po, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Nisay.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009795So, number one, governance RA-11036 or mental health law.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009796Number two, promotion and prevention ng MNS health literacy.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009798Yung peer-to-peer, school and workplace-based mental health services, psychological, first aid, MHPSS, and guidelines on ethical portrayal of suicide.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009799Number three, ay sa screening.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009800MNS screening, risk of substance abuse, drug dependency examinations.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009801Number four.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009802Number four naman po, sa treatment, MH access program, community-based mental health, community-based drug rehab program.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009803Number five, sa financing naman po, inpatient and outpatient benefit package, 432 general mental health providers, and 21 specialty mental health providers.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009804Number six naman po, sa workforce, psychologist.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009805Numbering to 2,128.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009806Psychiatrist, to 700.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009807DevPed, 104.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009808SpeechPath, 1,225.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009809But only at this time in 12 health facilities.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009811At occupational therapist
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009812na 3,401 but only to 246 in health facilities in the country. So yun po yung mga efforts na ginagawa ng DOH with regards to mental health.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009816Maraming salamat po sa ating buting sponsor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009817Kung ang pasyente ay nangailangan ng psychiatric consultation, emergency intervention, o admission,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009818Bakit kailangan pa nilang bumiyahin ng napakalayo o pumunta sa Manila?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009819May plano po ba ang DOH na mag-establish o mag-upgrade ng mental health units sa bawat probinsyal hospital, magkaroon ng dedicated patient navigation referral system, at magtalaga ng referral focal person sa bawat province para hindi na pamilya mismo ang naghahanap kung saan dadali ng pasyente?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009820So, kasalukuyan ay nagsiset up ang DOH ng mga mental health specialty center unit in every region consistent with the Regional Specialty Center Act.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009821At the same time, dahil it would take some time to set this up,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009822dun po sa call center,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009823na i-establish ng DOH,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009824ay pwede rin pong tumawag ang may mga pangangailangan with regards to mental health.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009825Maraming salamat sa ating buting sponsor.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009826Mr. Speaker, sa ating pong buting sponsor,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009827naniniwala po tayo na prevention is better than cure.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009828Sa ngayon po, mas magandang maagapan muna ang mga may sakit bago lumala, bago natin po gamutin.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009829At ngayon po, makikita natin na
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009830medyo tumataas ang non-communicable diseases na kinamamatay ng pamilyang Pilipino.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009831Kung mapapansin po ninyo,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009832ang GAA ng DOH Health Promotion Budget mula 2022 hanggang 2026.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009833Ang health promotion po noong 2022 na lumabas sa GAA ay P528.7 million plus pesos.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009834Noong 2023, umabot po ng P1.9 billion.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009835At noong 2024, medyo buwaba po, naging P1.7 billion.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009836Noong 2025 naman po, umaba pa rin po, naging P1.4 billion.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009837At ngayong 2026, umabot po ng P1.1 billion.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009838Kung mapapansin po natin, hindi po naabot yung target na 1% allocation pagdating po sa total DOH budget.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009839Paano po natin ginagamit?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009840Ang pondo ng health promotion at ano po yung mga barriers kung bakit po pababa siya ng pababa?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009841Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009842Ang ideal ratio po ng pondo na nilalagay for health promotion is around 1% of the entire budget of DOH.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009843So, kasalukuyan,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009844medyo malapit-lapit naman po sa 1%, nasa 0.937%.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009845At itong mga pondo na ito ay ginagamit sa
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009846dinagamit sa health governance, policy, and M&E assessment and research.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009847So, that is 195 million.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009848751 million sa healthy settings.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009849Support for health communities, schools, and workplace.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia

Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009851316 million naman po sa health literacy on MERS and media campaign and partnerships.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009852At 60 million po sa operational support, mga JO personnel,
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009853operating costs, and farm support.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009854Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, sa 2027 budget presentation po ng DOH para sa health promotion,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009855may targets na 2,830 schools, 178 workplaces, and 45 province-wide, city-wide health systems
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009856sa kasalukuyang budget.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009857Paano naman po sinusukat ng health promotion bureau?
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009858Kung ang mga programang ito ay talagang nagpapabago ng health behavior
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009859at hindi lamang nagpaparami ng activities, trainings, at information campaigns?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009860Meron pong ginagawa, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, na survey
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009861para makita kung umaakyat yung awareness
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009862and health consciousness.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009863And health consciousness.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009864At health consciousness ng ating mga kababayan.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009865So ito po yung mini-measure kung saan po ginagawad yung pondo.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009866Sa pagpili po ba ng mga target schools at workplaces,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009867prioredad po ba ang mga may matataas na prevalence ng obesity, smoking,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009868poor nutrition, physical inactivity, o iba pang health risk?
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009869Meron po tayo, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Colleague, ng seven priority actions.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009870And number one po dito, nutrition and physical activity at substance use, yung tabako, alcohol, and drugs.
Rep. Albert S. Garcia
asr-009871At mayroon din pong priority action on mental health.
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
asr-009872Mr. Speaker, sa ating buting sponsor, kung 2,830 schools lamang po ang target for 2027,
Rep. Jernie Jett V. Nisay
