REAKSYON NG PASYENTE/EMPLEYADO SA ISYU NG PHILHEALTH

BULACAN, PILIPINAS-MALAKING kawalan lalo sa mga mahihirap na Pilipino ang nangyayari ngayon sa Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PHILHEALTH), lalo na duon sa mga umaasa ng tulong nito sa kanilang mga karamdaman.

Bukod sa pandemya ng COVID-19 ay ito ang napapansing isyu ngayon na sinasakyan ng mga mamamahayag at tila isang panig lang ang kanilang inaalam at hindi nakikita ang kalagayan ng mga natutulungan ng ahensya.
Mula ng maitatag ito ay naging sandigan an ito ng mga mahihirap, nagamit ng mga pulitiko para tumulong sa mahihirap at ngayon nga ay patuloy na ginagamit ng mga pulitiko para naman ipitin ang mahihirap.

Nakapanayam kapwa ng www.diaryongtagalog.net at www.dzmjonline.net ang ibat-ibang mga tao na natulungan at patuloy na tinutulungan ng PHILHEALTH, sila yung mga nangangamba sa magiging hinaharap ng ahensya lalo sa pahayag ng Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte na ang isyu ukol dito ang pagtutuunan niya ng pansin lamang sa kanyang nalalabing termino.

“nagpapagamot ba sa public hospital ang mga congressman at senador natin? Hindi naman ah, sila maubo lang ng konti takbo na sa Medical City, lagnatin lang confined na sa St. Luke’s, hindi naming kaya yun, dito sa ospital, malaking tulong ang PHILHEALTH” pahayag ng isang ina na may pasyente sa isang pampublikong ospital sa Maynila na nakapanayam kamakailan.

“mabuti may sasakyan na (public transport) kasi makakapunta na ako sa ospital para sa dialysis ko, kung walang PHILHEALTH hindi naming kakayanin, yun ngang ipinagmamalaki nilang ayuda ni hindi kami naambunan” galing mismo sa isang dialysis patient na taga Malabon.

“ibinoto ko lahat ng pulitikong gumigisa sa PHILHEALTH ngayon pati si Pangulong Duterte kahit na hindi ko man lang malapitan ang mga yan para makahingi ng gamot pero ang PHILHEALTH ko nagamit ko para gastusin ko ng ma-ospital ang misis ko at anak ko, yan ba ang mga magnanakaw?” pahayag ng isang taga Jaen, Nueva Ecija na nakausap kamakailan ng manunulat ng pahayagang ito.

Sa dami ng isyung ibinato sa ahensya ng kasalukuyang administrasyon kapansin pansin na patuloy pa rin ang tiwala ng tao, sa bahagi naman ng mga mamamahayag, napansin din na sa dami ng mga nagko kober sa ahensya nuong wala pang isyung gaya ngayon, tila wala man lang kumuha sa panig nila, hindi para magtanggol kundi para ihayag lang ang kanilang saloobin at reaksyon.

Kabilang sa reaksyong kinuha ng pahayagang ito ay galing sa mga empleyadong masasabi nating mga masisipag, mababait at hindi maa arte ayon sa mga kliyente nito at mga dating opisyales.

“Nalulungkot ako sa nangyayari sa philhealth, an institution i have learned to love. Most of the people working there are hardworking, dedicated and honest kaya malungkot na parang lahat na lang sila ay tinuturing magnanakaw na hindi naman tama. As for me, I have already retired more than four years ago” text message buhat kay Atty. Alex Padilla, dating PHILHEALTH President and CEO.///abdul malik bin ismail, 09333816694, abdulmalikbinismail6875@gmail.com

Official Statement : PhilHealth denies cover up in Region 1 leak incident; remains committed to cooperate in all investigations by authorities

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) assures the public that there is no truth to allegations of a cover up on the leak incident in its PhilHealth Region 1 Office 1 in Dagupan City due to a heavy downpour on August 19, 2020.

As earlier reported, all the documents are intact and are all accounted for, and no critical equipment suffered damage from the incident.

The Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, and the National Bureau of Investigation have initially looked into the incident. The PRO I is also conducting parallel investigation and is now coordinating with the NBI to secure a copy of their own report to the Department of Justice.

Reports that circulated citing that the affected areas are the IT and Accounting Sections which are both located at the ground floor are false. Footage that circulated showing the leaks affecting computers and printers was at the Benefit Administration Section which is located at the mezzanine.

PRO 1’s IT personnel have acted swiftly to save the said equipment. Nevertheless, all electronic data are secured in its data centers owing to the electronic filing of claims.

As to the presence of NBI agents in the head office, the Agency fully understands their concern to protect essential documents needed by the Task Force PhilHealth in their investigation. PhilHealth assures them that these documents are intact and will be made available to them.

PhilHealth reiterates its commitment to fully cooperate with all the investigating authorities. It also appeals to everyone to refrain from speculating so as not to cause undue public concern (END)
