00:00Iginitli House Senior Deputy Majority Leader Sandro Marcos, who supported the position of his father, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.,

00:09regarding the issues of the 2025 National Budget.

00:13Earlier, the PhilHealth officials joined the hearing of the Cameraman

00:17to discuss the zero subsidy for the agency.

00:20This is what Melales Morales reported.

00:24Our countrymen should not be held accountable.

00:29You should be held accountable by PhilHealth.

00:31What we can assure in any case is that PhilHealth management will optimize our resources

00:39and will safeguard every peso entrusted to us and make sure it is spent effectively and responsibly.

00:48This is what the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation or PhilHealth assured the public

00:53It is now time to discuss the zero subsidy of the agency under the National Budget for next year.

01:00In the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability,

01:04PhilHealth President and Chief Executive Officer Emanuel Ledesma, Jr.

01:09agreed that they have enough funds so they will continue their service.

01:13As of October 2024, PhilHealth holds a surplus of 150 billion pesos

01:22and a total reserve of 280 billion pesos,

01:27complemented by an investment fund nearing 490 billion as of November 2024.

01:37These figures clearly demonstrate that PhilHealth is financially robust,

01:44well-positioned to sustain operations,

01:47and fully capable of addressing the healthcare needs of our 115 million members.

01:54Despite the fact that the Department of Health holds PhilHealth,

01:57the agency also assured that there will be no subsidized operations,

02:00except for a few.

02:02PhilHealth has a lot of money,

02:04more than the reserve fund ceiling allowed by the law.

02:08The board approved yesterday the higher benefit

02:14and a budget for PhilHealth in 2025

02:18that recognizes that PhilHealth should spend more

02:23so that the families will spend less.

02:27The Congress was the first to accept the criticism

02:30because of the lack of funds in some agencies

02:33such as PhilHealth and the Department of Education

02:36under the 2025 budget proposal.

02:39But House Deputy Speaker David J.J. Suarez...

02:42I believe in the version we passed for the 2025 budget.

02:48The government and the country can be rest assured

02:53that the programs, the projects, and the policies

02:56to further push the country forward will be implemented well.

03:01House Assistant Majority Leader Jude Asidre...

03:05Be very careful who you listen to

03:08because there are people who are just there to cause trouble.

03:12In an interview, the presidential son,

03:14House Senior Deputy Majority Leader Sandro Marcos,

03:17denied the budget issues

03:19as long as he supports the position of his father,

03:22President Ferdinand R. Marquez, Jr.

03:24The president is my father.

03:26I support him in whatever he says and whatever he hopes to achieve.

03:32Mela Lesmoras for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
