We were able to listen the message of VP Leni Robredo and her platforms addressing the issues in the health sector. We were also able to hear Atty. Neri Colmenares' solidarity in our campaign for a free, comprehensive, and progressive health care system.

Joyce Brillantes, Vice Chairperson of PMSA National, now delivers her closing message.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Sophie Martinez, Lead Convenor of Health Students for Leni, now delivers the statement of support for Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Colmenares on low salaries of HCWs and standardization of salaries of private HCWs: Ilalaban natin ang pagtaas at standardization ng sahod sa pamamagitan ng batas at suporta ng iba’t ibang alyansa.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Colmenares on insurance-based system of PhilHealth: PhilHealth is a failure. Out-of-pocket costs are still at 44%. The system is unconstitutional because HEALTH IS A RIGHT. Whatever the case may be, everybody has a right to get medicated and get better.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Colmenares: Students are the harbingers of truth and justice. We can analyze problems and think of solutions. We are articulate. Most importantly, we know social media well which could influence a big population of people. We should counter false narratives and fake news.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Colmenares on the upcoming election: Always look at the track record. Their records speak for themselves. They have been pushing for comprehensive health with or without the upcoming election.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Colmenares: “Kailangan natin ng presidente na kakampi natin [sa pagsulong sa komprehensibong sistemang pampublikong pangkalusugan] and that’s where Vice President Leni comes in.”

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Atty. Neri Colmenares now delivers his healthcare agenda. He emphasizes how the state has made healthcare burdensome for all Filipinos. “Mahal magkasakit sa Pilipinas.”

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

San Pedro emphasizes that to achieve a proper publich hralthcare system, we need:
1. free medicines and healthcare services
2. health stations in all barangays
3. HCWs across all facilities
4. prohibition of privatization of all public health facilities.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Dr. Josh San Pedro, Covenor of Coalition of People’s Right to Health, discusses Ang People’s Health Agenda and House Bill 9515 which call for adequate budget for the health sector to achieve a comprehensive public health system that caters to all.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Mendoza calls for better allocation of budget, up to 10% of GDP, and abolish PhilHealth. He also calls for just compensation, increased salary, developed public health care system, and the end of contractualization.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Mendoza: Allocated budget is so small that it cannot answer to the needs during the pandemic. Instead of increasing this, the budget was cut even more thus being unable to provide compensation for workers.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Mendoza says hospitals reason out that the health budget cut has greatly affected the quality of service with some Filipinos simply dying without being able to see or avail any medical service.

[The Aesculapian–COM @AesculapianCOM]

Mendoza: Structures remain lacking and old with excessive patient queues. There is still a lacking staff and budget in hospitals.
