Health workers demand a wage hike, mass hiring of health workers and job security, in a rally outside the National Kidney and Transplant Institute in Quezon City yesterday.MANILA, Philippines — Advocates are expected to mount a legal challenge to the government’s move to transfer excess funds from the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. and other government-owned and controlled corporations to finance unprogrammed appropriations in this year’s budget.
Magno, an economics professor at the University of the Philippines, said the inserted provision in the budget law may be considered a “rider provision” that is inconsistent with the subject matter of the legislation. Excess funds of PhilHealth worth P89.9 billion were diverted to fund unprogrammed appropriations this year, which led health advocates and budget watchdogs to call for a probe into the Department of Finance’s action.
