In South Korea, impeaching a president took only a few days.
In the Philippines, decision to impeach a vice president (not even a president) will take so many shallow EXCUSES.
The difference?… they have the balls, our lawmakers don’t have.
That’s the reality😢
RISA SLAMS ZERO SUBSIDY FOR PHILHEALTH
Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros has condemned the decision to deny PhilHealth subsidies for the premium contributions of vulnerable groups under the proposed 2025 national budget, describing it as "unfair, illegal, and potentially unconstitutional."
"Denying PhilHealth support to pay the premium contribution of the most vulnerable is to deny Filipinos our right to health," Hontiveros said on Thursday, December 12. She emphasized that the government is duty-bound to shoulder the premiums of indirect contributors, including the poor, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
Hontiveros warned that the move would place an undue financial burden on ordinary citizens who already pay monthly PhilHealth contributions, jeopardizing the nation’s universal healthcare goals.
"The PhilHealth charter, the Sin Tax Law and the UHC Act mandate that portions of certain taxes go to the state health insurer," she said, rejecting assertions that PhilHealth's reserve funds are sufficient to cover costs.
She further highlighted the irony of the decision being made on the eve of International Universal Health Coverage Day, noting that global standards make healthcare a government responsibility.
Hontiveros urged Filipinos to stand united in defending their right to accessible and quality healthcare.
Zero budget para sa PHILHEALTH : abusado @teamphilhealth leadership team for not using funds wisely !

So the people are suffering.
@teamphilhealth
Budget cuts happening left and right for health, education, and basic rights. Use of confidential funds not being explained properly. Brainless politicians topping the polls. Hard mode talaga pagiging Pilipino.
