PhilHealth fund transfer challenged at SC
August 03, 2024
|The Philippine Star
The Philippine Medical Association, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III and eight other parties asked the Supreme Court yesterday to bar the Philippine Health Insurance Corp.(PhilHealth) from transferring P89.9 billion in excess funds to state coffers.
The other petitioners are former finance undersecretary Cielo Magno, Dr. Minguita Padilla, former vice presidential spokesman Barry Gutierrez, Likhaan Center for Women's Health director Dr. Junice Malgar, urban poor leader Ernesto Ofracio, law professor Dante Gatmaytan, Sentro ng mga Nagkakaisa at Progresibong Manggagawa and Public Services Labor Independent Confederation Foundation Inc.
A circular from the Department of Finance (DOF) directing government-owned and controlled corporations to remit unused subsidies, anchored on a newly introduced provision in this year's General Appropriations Act (GAA), sparked the petition, arguing that it is "unconstitutional" and amends all existing laws creating GOCCs.
