00:14Here is the report.
00:18The case rates of PhilHealth's benefit packages are continuously increasing.

00:27while increasing and expanding the service.
00:51But in the hearing of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, joined with Finance,
00:55doctors are complaining about the slow process of claims in the hearing of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography.
01:25They are also questioning the 500 billion pesos that the agency is sleeping on,
01:31which will be transferred to the National Treasury.
01:33They were asked why they are not using the reserve fund for their members in need.
01:55Why? Is PhilHealth a bank that needs to accumulate liquid assets?
02:01Why? Is PhilHealth like the SSS or GSIS that is lending to its members?
02:07The majority is still relying on other agencies, such as DOH and DSWD.
02:12Universal Healthcare is also pending amendments to lower the yearly premium contribution
02:17due to the excessive funds of PhilHealth.
02:20I will really ask you in the budget hearing why you requested a fund for next year
02:26and your fund is too much.
02:29I will not support if you are not justified that you will not use your fund properly.
02:38The Health Emergency Assistance, or HEA, was also left for healthcare workers in October.
02:43The Universal Healthcare Law guarantees equal access to healthcare services for all Filipinos.
