Following the country’s credit rating being upgraded by a Japan-based debt watcher, Senator Risa Hontiveros on Wednesday urged the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. to stop the transfer of the remaining P70-billion in unused funds to the national treasury.
“The President himself said that the funds we save in the process of paying the interest on our debt can be utilized for the good of our citizens,” she continued. “In my opinion, as an author and advocate of the Universal Health Care Act, Philhealth members are at a disadvantage in this fund transfer. This raises serious questions about the credibility of Philhealth’s leadership and management in fulfilling the mandate of the UHC Act,” she expressed.
