SEN. Bong Go urged concerned government agencies to settle the remaining P8.1 billion in unpaid health emergency allowance (HEA) due to health workers.
SEN. Bong Go urged concerned government agencies to settle the remaining P8.1 billion in unpaid health emergency allowance due to health workers. Go, on Monday, said the government must exhaust all available legal and fiscal remedies to ensure that the unpaid HEA claims are settled. In 2022, Go, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, co-authored Republic Act 1712, which grants health emergency allowances to medical workers who served during public health crises like Covid-19.
During the June 3 hearing of the Senate health panel, Go brought up the reported delays in disbursing HEAs despite previous efforts to clear the initial P103 billion owed to frontliners during the Covid pandemic. He said the delay was unacceptable since the Covid-19 health emergency was lifted almost three years ago. 'They are the heroes during the pandemic. Give them what is due to them,' Go said.
