DOH flags 297 Super Health Centers as 'non-operational'
Manila Bulletin
|October 16, 2025
The Department of Health (DOH) has flagged 297 Super Health Centers (SHCs) across the country as nonoperational, including a P21.4-million facility in Concepcion Dos, Marikina City that remains unfinished years after construction began.
DOH Secretary Teodoro Herbosa on Wednesday, October 15, led an inspection of the Marikina SHC and found that the supposed four-storey health center remains stuck at Phase 1—a steel foundation now overgrown with weeds and bushes.
The site inspection was posted live on DOH’s Facebook account.
“This is P21 million of your taxes,” Herbosa said, pointing to the incomplete site. “It was started in December 2023 and should have been completed, but it’s already 2025—yet no health services have started here,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino.
Herbosa likened the unfinished structure to a “manananggal”—a mythical creature with half a body—saying that “the upper part is missing while the base is there.”
