Senator Joseph Victor Ejercito on Wednesday raised concern on the P89.9 billion transfer and utilization of the reserve funds from Philippine Health Insurance Corporation to the unprogrammed fund of the national government.
Former PhilHealth Director Dr. Anthony Leachon noted that excess funds should not be directed to unprogrammed appropriations within the national budget when PhilHealth has been ineffective to carry out its mandate of ensuring affordable, acceptable, available and accessible healthcare services for Filipinos.
“No portion of the reserve fund or income thereof shall accrue to the general fund of the national government or to any of its agencies or instrumentalities, including government-owned or controlled corporations,” he added. Further, he said the excess PhilHealth funds are revenues from taxes on tobacco, vapes, alcohol, and sugar-sweetened beverages. He said these are specifically earmarked for health programs.
