The government still owes COVID frontliners some P27 billion in unpaid allowances, prompting a congressman from Bicol to call on the Department of Health to speed up release of the amount.
Villafuerte expressed optimism that the required paperwork could be prepared immediately by the DOH for the prompt release of still-unpaid allowances amounting to P27 billion. To correct this lapse and ensure that all HCWs finally receive their unpaid PHEBA soon and in full, Villafuerte backed a DBM proposal for the DOH to solve the delays in the releases by fast-tracking the creation of a nationwide mapping of all the law-provided allowances due these healthcare workers, broken down per region and per health facility.
