Sen. Joseph Victor Ejercito confirmed the plans of senators not to give the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) additional subsidy after the agency declared savings in 2024.

Ejercito supported the earlier pronouncement of Senate President Francis Escudero that the Senate is not inclined to give PhilHealth additional subsidy under the proposed P6.352-trillion national budget for 2025.

"The senators plan not to give it (PhilHealth) because last year there was a subsidy but they declared it as savings," Ejercito said in an interview yesterday over dzBB.

Escudero said that while PhilHealth could receive a subsidy to provide health insurance coverage and ensure health care services, the Senate will not increase it.

He said senators would deliberate as he questioned why PhilHealth has too many excess funds, including the P89.9 billion that was supposed to be transferred to the national treasury.
