CEBU, Philippines - Senate majority floor leader Alan Peter Cayetano is calling on President Benigno Aquino III to fire all officials of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. amid non-payment ting of P200 million debts due to private hospitals in the country. Senator Alan Peter Cayetano is flanked by Pangasinan Governor Amado T. Espino and Pangasinan's Congress- man Leopoldo Bataoil (Right).
Cayetano, in a press conference Thursday night here, said the government is giving all the support and a huge budget to PhilHealth in order to address the health of  the poor Filipinos and yet the agency’s officials “were in such a mess.”
Earlier, the Philippine Private Hospital Association Inc. threatened they will no longer honor PhilHealth cards due to the unpaid debts of PhilHealth to their member-hospitals for six months already.
“These people must be fired. ting Alam ko repormista si Pangulong Aquino pero masyadong mabait. By firing some people, we are sending strong message that we are setting a higher standard of public service,” Cayetano ting said.
Although the senator recognized ting the efforts of PhilHealth regional officials, he said no matter how good these officials are, it’s the agency’s top leaders that are proving inefficiency and incompetence.
Cayetano added that PhilHealth has all the money and trained personnel at the regional level, as well as database, and yet when it comes to paying its obligation, he said the agency’s leaders do not know why they are there in the first place.
“These officials are giving themselves millions of bonuses ting and yet when it comes to giving the right services to the people, ang dami nilang excuses,” the senator added.  ting —/JMD (FREEMAN)
