"At ito ang guarantee ko, napakasimple lang ng guarantee ko: kahit na subsidy, kahit walang subsidy, kahit anong contribution, all of these issues — hindi mababawasan ang serbisyo ng PhilHealth, hindi mababawasan ang bayad ng PhilHealth sa insurance claim. In fact, baligtad, padadamihin pa namin ang serbisyong ibibigay ng PhilHealth, pararamihin — palalakihin pa namin ang pagbayad sa insurance claims.

So, I would like to just assure everybody, huwag niyong inaalala na mababawasan ang serbisyo kahit na kanino. Para sa senior, para sa mga mahirap, para sa middle class, walang mababawasan kahit isang kusing. Quite the opposite, dadagdagan natin ‘yan in 2025. Mas dadami pa ang magiging serbisyo na ibinibigay ng PhilHealth, mas lalaki pa ang magiging payment na ibibigay sa insurance claim.

Huwag po kayong magaalala, hindi — walang mawawala sa serbisyo ng PhilHealth. Mas pinapaganda pa nga namin ang pagpatakbo ng PhilHealth para mas marami pang maibibigay sa taumbayan."

Recognizing the importance of preparing for another possible global pandemic, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. expressed strong support for the continued construction of the Virology and Vaccine Institute of the Philippines (VIP) building.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has requested funding for the project to prevent delays and avoid structural deterioration of the VIP Administration Building.

"I think in the immediate future, okay. We prepare for the big one, the big pandemic, President Marcos told Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. on Wednesday.

“But really it's for the animals and the plants," the President said.
The VIP was established to conduct research on viruses and viral diseases.

The Chief Executive made the remarks during a meeting with DOST to discuss the agency's 2025 budget and its upcoming programs and projects.

Solidum noted the 2025 national expenditure program of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) did not allocate a budget for the VIP.

In response, President Marcos assured the government will find ways to secure funding.

"We find money for this when we are able to identify the specific items as you know not ready for implementation. Yung hindi kumpleto ang papeles," he told Solidum.

Solidum assured the VIP would not be limited to human health concerns, but would also address viruses affecting animal and plant health.

He told the President the VIP needs P680 million to pursue its plans including the development of vaccines for humans, animals and plants.

“There are more balikbayan scientists [now] na gusto tumulong sa atin. We just need this facility (VIP),” he added.

The VIP is envisioned to be the country’s foundation for research and innovation on human, animal and plant viruses. | PND

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. committed to provide adequate funds for the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) to support the country's irrigation programs.

In a meeting with NIA officials at Malacañan Palace on Wednesday, President Marcos emphasized the importance of constructing large dams not only for irrigation but also for other purposes.

Under NIA's 2025 programs, activities and projects (PAPs), the agency allocated PhP20.84 billion for the Pump Irrigation Sub-Program and PhP7.88 billion for Stage 2 of the Ilocos Norte-Ilocos Sub-Abra Irrigation Project (INISAIP).

Earmarked for the Balog-Balog Multipurpose Project Phase II in Tarlac was PhP2.49 billion while PhP99.5 million was set aside for the Special Irrigation Sub-Program.

"The big dams. We need to have that," President Marcos said, referring to NIA funding under the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA).

"The PhP22 billion, that's in the GAA, PhP22.882 [billion], that's in the GAA. Palagay ko mayroon pa tayong savings diyan," President Marcos said.

President Marcos met with NIA officials to discuss the agency's strategic plans and projects for 2025.

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie Guillen outlined the agency's objectives to enhance irrigation efficiency, ensure continuous operation of existing irrigation service areas and maintain current irrigated lands.

Guillen also highlighted plans to improve service roads along irrigation canals.

The PAPs will incorporate technological interventions and modernization of irrigation systems to mitigate the effects of climate change, he said.

Present during the meeting were Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr., Department of Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, and Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman.

NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan was also present during the meeting along with Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Frederick Go and PCO Acting Secretary Cesar Chavez. | PND
