The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. will get zero subsidy in the P6.352-trillion 2025 national budget.
"Nakita natin PhilHealth, yung subsidiya na ibibigay ng gobyerno na hindi man lang nila nagagamit. Ang PhilHealth ngayon, kung hindi ako nagkakamali, merong P600 billion na reserve funds. Naka-deposito lang yan sa, ewan ko kung anong account nila nilalagay, but definitely kung anong kinikita niyan, mas maliit pa sa, mas mababa pa sa inflation ," she said in a chance interview right after the Bicameral Conference Committee approved on Wednesday morning, December 11 the proposed P6.
Poe said that if PhilHealth has a lot funds to spare, they must use it since it's just going to waste; with it being kept. She also pointed out the decision of the Supreme Court that once the funds have been allocated, they cannot be transferred, even in cases of crisis or need in other sectors. "So, doon sa mga sektor na talagang walang pondo, doon natin nilagay yung mga sobra naman sa iba na alam natin hindi nila kailangan ," she added.
