"PHILHEALTH MAY MATAAS NA SINGIL, PERO MABABANG BENEPISYO"
FACT: In 2022, PhilHealth has tripled salaries for execs from ₱26.202 million up to ₱72.244 million according to a COA report. This salary increase jumped their paychecks by at least 170% in just one year.
NEGOSYO O SERBISYO?
Kinondena ni Marikina 2nd District Representative Stella Quimbo ang PhilHealth sa kabila ng mataas nitong kinikita ngunit mababang benepisyo na ibinibigay sa mga miyembro nito.
Ayon sa kanya, nakakukuha ang PhilHealth ng mataas na kita mula sa buwanang koleksyon sa mga manggagawa at malaking pondo ang nagmumula sa Kongreso ngunit hindi nito naibibigay ang kapantay na halagang ikinakaltas nila sa buwanang sweldo ng mga manggagawa. Dahil rito, nararapat lamang umanong manatili sa 4% ang premium rates ng bawat miyembro.
Matatandaang noong Enero lamang ay inanunsyo ng PhilHealth ang pagtataas ng buwanang kontribusyon mula sa 4% patungong 5%, ngunit hinarang ito ng Malacañang dahil pinag-aaralan pa umano ito ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
