The government will comply with the Supreme Court (SC) ruling on the transfer of PhilHealth’s excess funds to the national treasury for priority projects, according to a Presidential Communications Office (PCO) official.
During a Malacañang briefing, Palace Press Officer and Undersecretary Claire Castro said the administration is awaiting the High Court’s decision.
She assured that if the SC orders the return of government subsidies, the Palace will fully comply.
“Kung sasabihin po ng Supreme Court na dapat po na ibalik ang subsidy mula sa gobyerno, tutuparin po natin iyan at magku-comply po tayo kung anuman po ang sasabihin ng Supreme Court,” according to her.
On the “zero subsidy” policy for PhilHealth, Castro urged the public to also wait for the court’s ruling. “Pakinggan na lang po muna natin kung ano po ang magiging desisyon ng Supreme Court.”IMT
