00:00Pagbabalik ng P60B na pondo sa PhilHealth at update sa Gamot Program,
00:06ating tatalakayin kasama si Dr. Israel Francis Pargas,
00:10Senior Vice President ng Health Finance Policy Sector ng PhilHealth.
00:15Doc Ish, magandang tanghali po.
00:18Magandang tanghali po at magandang tanghali din sa lahat ng ating tagapanood.
00:23Sir, una po sa lahat, ano po yung reaksyon ng PhilHealth
00:26sa desisyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na ibalik muli ang P60B na sobrang pondo ng PhilHealth?
00:35Well, unang-una po, we are very happy and very much appreciative of this new development
00:41of the decision of the President to return the P60B to us
00:46even if the Supreme Court has not yet decided on its merits or legalities.
00:52So, kami po ay natutuwa at nagpapasalamat sa ating Pangulo
00:57sapagkat ito po ay makakatulong ng malaki
01:00para po sa pag-sustain ng ating benefit expansion
01:03and service optimization pagdating po sa PhilHealth.
01:10Doc Ish, meron na po ba tayong update kung paano at kailan po maibabalik sa PhilHealth ang pondong ito?
01:16Although, the President said immediately, pero wala pa pong mechanism
01:23kung paano po ibabalik yung pondo na ito.
01:26We don't know kung ito po ay masasubject to savings ng 2025
01:31or kung ito po ay isasama sa 2026 GAA.
01:36So, wala pa po kaming idea kung paano po ito ibabalik sa amin ng Bureau of Treasury.
01:42Hmm. Gaano kalaking tulong po at gaano kahalaga, Doc Ish,
01:48ang pagbabalik ng pondong ito sa pagpapalakas po ng universal healthcare sa bansa?
01:53Well, napakalaki po ang magiging tulong nito
01:57because kung matatandaan po ninyo,
02:00for almost two years we have been aggressively increasing our benefits
02:05and expanding our benefits.
02:08We have introduced new benefits also
02:11at patuloy po namin yung ginagawa kahit ngayong 2025.
02:16So, of course, kakayanin naman ito ng ating current pondo
02:20kahit wala pa po yung 60 billion.
02:23But, kapag ka po naibigay yung 60 billion,
02:26ay mas malaki po at mas mas sisigurado natin yung sustainability
02:30nitong ating mga programa na ito.
02:32So, ganun din po ay mapupondohan yung ating tinatawag na digitalization
02:38to make our systems more convenient,
02:42more fast, more efficient for our members.
02:46Kaya po, napakalaking tulong nitong 60 billion na ito
02:49kung ito po ay talagang maibabalik sa amin.
02:51Sa ano pong mga partikular na programa ng PhilHealth,
02:56posibleng gamitin ang pondong ito
02:59sakaling maibalik na, Doc?
03:00Well, katulad po nitong 2025,
03:04tayo po ay naglunusad ng ating primary care benefit package.
03:09Yun pong libreng gamot.
03:1154 na gamot para sa lahat ng mga Filipino
03:14na ang inaalat po natin or allocate natin
03:17is 20,000 pesos per person per year.
03:22So, ito po initially inlunusad natin sa NCR,
03:25but we plan to implement this nationwide
03:30bago matapos ang taon or at least first semester of 2026.
03:37Ganun din po ay yung ating paglunusad ng
03:39anti-cancer screening test na libreng makukuha
03:45sa ating mga yakap clinics.
03:47At ito po ay para sa lahat, again,
03:52ng papasok dun sa mga indicators
03:54because this is a screening.
03:56So, kung ganun po ay talagang kinakailangan natin
03:59yung pondo,
04:00ditong ating 60 billion pesos.
04:03Ganun din po ay tayo ay nasa
04:05stage ng pagre-review
04:08ng ating mga packages like
04:10leptospirosis,
04:12animal bite treatment,
04:14HIV treatment package,
04:16even our maternity benefits
04:18to include normal spontaneous
04:20and cesarean section.
04:22So, lahat po yan,
04:24kung matapos ang ating pagre-review
04:26at ma-expand natin ang beneficyo,
04:29ay matutustusan din po ito
04:31nitong ating 60 billion peso package
04:33na i-re-return ng ating gobyerno.
04:38Napakalaking tulong po
04:39at napakaganda po ng reception po
04:41dun sa Zero Balance Billing Program.
04:44So, ano po yung magiging impact
04:46ng pagbabalik ng pondo
04:48dito sa Zero Balance Billing Program
04:50ng pamahalaan?
04:51Opo.
04:52Kung may expand po natin
04:54yung ating mga beneficyo,
04:56ibig sabihin,
04:57mas lalaki po
04:58yung beneficyo na makakaltas
05:01sa ating mga bills
05:02sa mga hospital,
05:03lalong-lalo na
05:04doon sa nagpapatupad
05:06ng Zero Balance Bill.
05:08And so,
05:08kung lalaki po
05:09yung ating counterparts
05:10sa PhilHealth,
05:12ay o-aunti na lang po
05:13yung sasagutin
05:14ng gobyerno
05:15o ng Department of Health
05:17para po talagang
05:18mas maibigay natin
05:19yung Zero Balance Billing.
05:21So, we really need
05:22the $60 billion
05:23para ma-expand
05:24ang ating beneficyo.
05:25In turn,
05:27liliit yung ating counterparts
05:29para maging
05:30Zero Balance Billing
05:31na po yung mga pasyente.
05:33Although limited pa siya
05:34in government facilities,
05:37especially
05:37DOH retained facilities.
05:40Dahil po dito,
05:41Doc Ish,
05:42sa mga kinahaharap
05:43nating kontrobersiya,
05:44patungkol po
05:46sa ghost projects
05:47at yung mga

05:50mababawasan
05:52o maaalis
05:53yung agam-agam
05:54ng ilan natin
05:55mga kababayan
05:55sa paggamit
05:57nitong pondo
05:58na maibabalik
