HERBOSA: NO BENEFITS WILL BE LOST
Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa assured the public that no benefits for PhilHealth members will be affected despite the zero allocation for the agency’s national subsidy in 2025.
“The PhilHealth Board is set to approve a significant budget: P284 billion for 2025. What was removed is the government subsidy,” Herbosa explained.
He added, “Hindi po nawala ang budget ng PhilHealth…kaya pa ring tustusan lahat ng mga benepisyo niyong miyembro. Wala pong mawawalang benepisyo”.
Senate Committee on Finance chairperson Grace Poe also clarified that PhilHealth will not receive a subsidy in 2025 because it is required to utilize its reserve fund first before receiving additional government support.
