Find out why PhilHealth has P89-B savings, SC urged

Following the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO) by the Supreme Court on the transfer of Philippine Health Insurance Corp.'s excess funds to the national treasury, the chairman of the committee on senior citizens at the House of Representatives expressed hope that the SC will eventually find out why PhilHealth had billions in unused funds.

Rep. Rodolfo Ordanes said his concern is "why PhilHealth had P89 billion in unused funds from the national government subsidies to PhilHealth from 2021 to 2023?"

"The temporary restraining order does not address the merits of the case, but it seeks to preserve the status quo as of its issuance," Ordanes said.
