00:00The Finance Department emphasized the increase in the PhilHealth benefit packages for the ten most common diseases of Filipinos.
00:10According to Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, the addition of health benefits will help our countrymen to use the PhilHealth funds more.
00:23Although the PhilHealth has zero subsidy, next year it will have Php 280,000,000 reserve funds.
00:33The Finance Department will closely monitor the PhilHealth to ensure the effective use of their funds.
00:43In the Department of Finance, next year tututukan namin ang PhilHealth. We will make sure that we spend the budget better.
00:55Halimbawa, I'll give an example, maybe we should concentrate on the top ten illnesses.
01:01Palagay ko, yun lang, itaas natin 100%, 200% benefit package of the top ten illnesses, malaking pakinabang ng taong bayan dyan.
01:13Well, my understanding is that Congress did that because the budget for the corporate operating budget of PhilHealth is sufficient.
01:24So they have reserve funds of roughly Php 280,000,000. They have a surplus of roughly Php 150,000,000 the last time I looked at it.
01:33They have investments of more than Php 400,000,000. They will probably, they will earn Php 200,000,000 in 2025.
