A senior lawmaker is hoping that newly-appointed Department of Health Secretary Teodoro “Ted” Herbosa will make good on his promise on his first day in office to look into the speedy release of the unpaid health emergency allowances of health-care workers and non-HCWs who had played a critical role in saving lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We hope that newly-appointed Secretary Ted [Herbosa], who is a long-timer in the health-care sector, would deliver on his promise to give priority to looking into the still-unpaid Covid-19 allowances—and get to the bottom of what happened to the P12.5 billion in Covid-19 allowances that the DBM claimed to have released to the DOH months back but which have yet to be handed out by the health department to the intended beneficiary—HCWs and non-HCWs—as provided by law,” Villafuerte said.
