00:00The Supreme Court has started its oral arguments to tackle the three petitions to stop the transfer

00:05of the 89.89 billion pesos of PhilHealth's funds to the National Treasury. For his part,

00:12Solicitor General Leonardo Guevara said that the President and government are not wrong in the

00:17ordering of the transfer of the said funds to the National Treasury since PhilHealth wasn't able to

00:23use it. Furthermore, he believes that government did not violate any law and in fact the said move

00:29can contribute to the nation's economy especially since the country's debt is ballooning.

00:38It was the executive and legislative department's way of creating and implementing a fiscal policy

00:46to boost economic growth without bloating the government's indebtedness or burdening the people.

00:53It is a common sense approach that does not violate any law much less the constitution.
