Bacolod City Councilor El Cid Familiaran is requesting the budget officer Luzviminda Treyes to clarify the status of budget for MEDICARE Para sa Masa.
The issue on Philhealth Card, claiming that the city has not paid its premium for Philhealth contribution of its people comes to the fore as the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) confronted issues on budgetary allocation for Philhealth and/ or health-related concern. The report stated that the unpaid account of the city to Philhealth in the amount of Php 5,174,050.00 represents the unpaid account of the city’s share for the supposed premium contribution of 16,965 Philhealth beneficiaries for the year 2010. Familiaran also said, in the budget for 2011, there was an allocation of Php 4 million in item called, "Medicare para sa Masa," aside from the allocated budget for Philhealth during the last regular session, dated August 10, 2011 per request of the mayor, docketed as SP Correspondence # 011-944/A. In order to be clarified, and, so as not to create confusion to the public, there is a need for the City Budget Officer to clarify these budget Item, Familiaran stressed. * Edith B.
