— Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said the proposed transfer of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation supervision to the Office of the President will make things more efficient in the government health insurer.
“If they’re trying to think about this, I think the president wants to have better and more efficient health care financing. Kasi gusto niyang tutukan.[Translation: If they’re trying to think about this, I think the president wants to have better and more efficient health care financing. Because the president wants to focus on it.
Herbosa said moving an attached agency under another body like the Office of the President is not new in government. However, he clarified that changes to be made within PhilHealth is up to Congress since it has to amend the law that created the body. “If the president and the Executive branch wants to put it under the Office of the President, pwede yun [that can be done],” Herbosa explained.
