PHILHEALTH IS NOW PHIL-SICK...FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL

FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL... 

The first senate hearing on PhilHealth's P15 billion anomaly was fully attended by PhilHealth's Exec-Committee. However, the second hearing scheduled this Tuesday, two of the members including the chief has sent notice that they cannot attend the hearing no more due to health reasons.

Many netizens criticizes and doubted the authenticity of their medical condition as the timing is quite amusing. Such move, medical reason, has been used already by previous government officials to either get sympathy or evade prosecution. As they say in the Filipino language, "Buhay Kurakot, Kapag Nabubuko, Nalulumpo." 

Buhay Kurakot, Kapag Nabubuko, Nalulumpo?

The article published by PhilHealth, as follows:

Ground zero hospitals receive hundreds of millions in Covid-19 assistance from PhilHealth (April 14, 2020)

STATE HEALTH INSURER, PhilHealth, reported that, to date, a total of P4.1 billion have now been approved and are currently being released to various hospitals with Covid-19 cases.

Through this, PhilHealth assures that hospitals are provided with needed funds to cover the costs of treating Covid-19 patients who are currently admitted or to be admitted. Likewise, this will allow financial liquidity in hospitals to procure the much needed testing kits, medicines, personal protective equipment, and other medical supplies.

In Ground Zero, the National Capital Region (NCR) having the most number of cases recorded, big hospitals have now received financial help such as the UP-Philippine General Hospital for a total of P263.3 million; East Avenue Medical Center for P134 million; and Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center with P106.5 million, among others. Meanwhile, for immediate release are funds for Quirino Memorial Medical Center for P150 million; St. Luke's Medical Center for P146 million; The Medical City for P141 million; St. Luke's Global City for P117 million; and Makati Medical Center for P104 million. NCR hospitals are due to receive a total of P 5.3 billion.

In other regions, Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center in Tacloban has received P150 million, while Bicol Medical Center in Bicol and Lucena United Doctors Hospital in Lucena received P119.3 million and P46.8 million, respectively. The Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) in Davao City will receive P 325 million.

The Agency said that it is now processing the fund transfer to National Kidney and Transplant Institute for P179 million; Baguio General Hospital for P165 million; Northern Mindanao Medical Center for P128 million; and Dr Paulino Garcia Memorial Research and Medical Center for P121 million.

PhilHealth has called anew on other hospitals to submit their documents for immediate processing. Employees of PhilHealth are now working double time to ensure that said financial aid is released to more hospitals within 5 working days upon receipt of requests.

The Agency also expressed gratitude to the hospitals who complied with the policy that patients should no longer be billed for the full cost of treatment due to Covid-19. The Corporation likewise acknowledged the assistance it received from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) for providing P425 million to the anti-Covid 19 healthcare fund. With this, PhilHealth assures that the only thing Filipinos should worry about when needing hospitalization due to this pandemic, is to recover fully.

As they say, as in any scandal involving huge amount, always follow the money (trail).

Questions come to mind: 

Which hospitals received huge payments as reimbursements for so-called medical services rendered? 

Who owns these hospitals? 

Who approved the payments?

I guess, having the correct answer will lead you to the culprits.

Gloria Calls Out PhilHeist Execom

August 11, 2020: Senate second hearing on PhilHealth's anomaly. Interesting is the IRM, Interim Reimbursement Mechanism, listing which hospitals got the lion's share, both in Davao. One in Davao City, the other one is in Tagum, Davao.

6 KEY DAYS THAT COULD HAVE SAVED THE WORLD...

'SIX KEY DAYS, THAT COULD HAVE SAVED THE WORLD FROM THE PANDEMIC' BUT CHINA LIED... China didn’t warn public of likely pandemic for 6 key days By The Associated Press [April 15, 2020] In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they likely were facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people; millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebrations. President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, Jan. 20. But by that time, more than 3,000 people had been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data. Six days... That delay from Jan. 14 to Jan. 20 was neither the first mistake made by Chinese officials at all levels in confronting the outbreak, nor the longest lag, as governments around the world have dragg

ANG DAM SA ECUADOR AT UTANG NILA...

MAGSISI MAN ANG ECUADOR...HULI NA, NAKABAON NA SILA SA TSINA! TAYO MAY PAGASA PA? Debt Trap: Katulad ng naranasan ng ibang bansa, gaya ng Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Pakistan at iba pang bansa sa Africa, ibinaon sila ng Tsina sa mga utang sa pamagitan ng mga proyektong sub-standards o mababang kalidad, napakataas na interes sa ginastos (utang), at ang masakit ay hindi talaga kailangan; kung ito man ay kailangan, ito ay punom-puno ng suhulan (bribery). Sounds familiar? Katulad ng nangyari sa Ecuador na nagtayo ng isang dambuhalang dam o imbakan ng tubig na ang layunin ay tugunan ang pangangailangan sa tubig at kuryente...magandang layunin ngunit' nauwe sa korapsyon! Ang artikulong ito ay hinango sa panulat ni Nicholas Casey at Clifford Krauss ng New York Times, "It Doesn't Matter if Ecuador Can Afford This Dam. China Still Gets Paid." -December 2018.

SHOTGUN TACTIC?

"A 'shotgun' tactic? The bigger the gun is, the bigger the damage it will be, two weeks before the election..." NBI Cybercrime Division filed a complaint against Rodel Jayme, the alleged uploader of Bikoy's video.  Jayme was charged with “Inciting to Sedition” in relation to Section 6 of Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 before an inquest prosecutor. "Status posts and the likes are now considered as ‘electronic speech’ or speech done electronically. The internet, or Social Media to be précised [sic], is platform designed to reach audience on worldwide level,” the NBI said in its complaint. “Seditious words or speeches, write, publish, or circulate scurrilous libels, can now be done electronically (Social media and Blog web pages) and being online it now caters to a larger and wider audience,” it also said. This is the interesting part, the NBI did not file a cycberlibel complaint against Jayme despite its claim
