The government can sell other properties apart from the real estate assets in Japan if the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation will need more funds for its vital programs, Malacañang said Tuesday.Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said the public should not worry since President Duterte will ensure the embattled state health insurer will have sufficient funds for the implementation of the universal health care program.
“So in other words, sinasabi lang ni Presidente, ‘Sagot ko ang inyong kalusugan,’ dahil iyan ang batas na sinertify [certified] niyang urgent noong iyan po ay tinatalakay sa Kongreso, paninindigan po niya iyong obligasyon ng estado na pangalagaan ang kalusugan ng mga Pilipino. If it means having to sell assets, why not ,” he said.
In his televised address Monday night, the President revealed the government’s planned sale of certain assets in Japan to raise funds for PhilHealth. Duterte made the statement after disclosing plans to ask Congress to abolish the corruption-stated state firm and create a new agency.
Fund raising for election 2022 is on! 😈😈😈
