Frustrated by the lack of a clear plan from the Department of Health (DOH), Cong. Wilbert “Manoy” T. Lee has deferred the 2025 budget of the agency, demanding concrete steps to reduce Filipinos’ out-of-pocket medical expenses. Lee’s move highlights the urgency of PhilHealth reform, as delays in implementing increased benefits have left millions of Filipinos struggling with healthcare costs.

“Nakakadismaya po itong ginagawa ng DOH,” Lee lamented, pushing for immediate action and accountability from the PhilHealth Benefits Committee.
