This is not just a failure of governance; it is a betrayal of our Constitution and the very principles that should guide our nation.

President Marcos Jr.’s decision to support pork barrel allocations while deprioritizing the health and education of millions of Filipinos is a betrayal of our collective future.

How can we call ourselves a nation when we continue to turn a blind eye to children who go to school hungry, families who are buried in hospital bills, and young lives cut short because they cannot afford medicine? This is not just fiscal mismanagement; it is a moral failure of the highest order.

Sec. Ralph Recto of @dofgovph has led the diversion of 90 billion funds to unprogrammed appropriations and many believe he has partnered with Congress and Senate to raid funds from social services to pork barrel projects.

Our leaders are responsible for the destruction of our economy and our country.

Recto has the Filipino blood on his hands.

And Sec. Recto will forever be hated in our history together with our health agency leaders.

@VillameroAngela Let’s fight together for the veto power of @bongbongmarcos on phil health and other social services and cut the pork barrel. Enough is enough.

This is the fight I have taken up, not because it is easy, but because it is necessary.

Bringing up the Dengvaxia issue again is nothing more than a desperate attempt to discredit me. The Sandiganbayan has already spoken on this matter. It is time to move forward, to heal the wounds of our past, and to ensure that no future vaccine or health program becomes a political scapegoat.

The question we need to ask right now is, “Why are they so intent on silencing those who speak the truth? Why are they so afraid of accountability?”

However, what we see now is nothing more than noise and misdirection from self-serving politicians, amplified by their troll farms and fueled by personal greed and political interests.

While my detractors spend millions on PR stunts, millions of Filipinos wake up every day wondering if they can afford their next meal, let alone their next hospital bill. PhilHealth is on the verge of collapse, and instead of fixing it, they offer bandaid solutions such as suspending premium payments for a year. What happens after that year? What happens to the sick, the dying, and the helpless who rely on PhilHealth every single day?

To those behind these smear campaigns, I have this to say to you. You can attack me, deploy your trolls, and flood social media with lies, but you cannot drown out the truth. I will not stop fighting for the millions of Filipinos who deserve better.

My fight is also your fight. This is not just about PhilHealth or healthcare. It is about the kind of nation we want to leave for our children and grandchildren. Do we want to be a country where the powerful can buy silence and bury accountability? Or do we want to be a nation where the sick are cared for, the corrupt are held to account, and the truth shines brighter than any propaganda?

To each and every one of my supporters, thank you!

Let me remind my honorable detractors: this is not about me. This is about a government institution that has clearly failed its people. Billions of pesos have allegedly been lost to corruption - money that should have saved lives. Instead, we have zero subsidy, zero accountability, and zero urgency from those who have the power to fix it, yet have the gall to call themselves public servants.

This Christmas season, I urge everyone to think of the countless Filipinos standing in line at hospitals that can no longer provide free services because PhilHealth has failed to pay on time. Imagine their desperation, their heartbreak, as they are told, “Wala na pong pondo.” What will they do? Where will they go? These are not hypothetical scenarios; they are the painful realities happening in every corner of our nation.

Scale down P138-million February 2025 anniversary celebration, Rodriguez urges Philhealth; says amount could benefit 21,732 dialysis patients

Cagayan de Oro City 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez today urged state health insurer Philhealth to drastically scale down its “extravagant” February 2025 anniversary celebration costing at least P138 million.

“Government agencies like Philhealth should heed the appeal of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for austerity not only during the Christmas holidays but in the months ahead, in solidarity with Filipino families in many communities still suffering and recovering from the onslaught of recent super typhoons, and with poor Filipinos,” he said.

He said the state health insurer is resorting to wasteful spending in its anniversary celebration in February since the bulk of its expenses would be devoted to giveaways like tokens, coffee table book and similar disposable items.

“The P138 million Philhealth has budgeted for the event could better be used for patient dialysis. At the increased rate of P6,350 per session, P138 million could fund 21,732 dialysis treatments and benefit the same number of patients,” he said.

He added that Philhealth members would be more appreciative of spending the huge amount for their benefit than for giveaways.

“Anong gagawin ng mga miyembro sa coffee table book o token? Mas kailangan nila ng subsidy sa dialysis, gamot o hospitalization,” he stressed.

Rodriguez also accused Philhealth officials of being “mentally dishonest” for labeling the revelation of Dr. Tony Leachon about the P138-million planned expenditure as “fake news.”

“It is not fake news. Dr. Leachon was mistaken in saying the amount was for a Christmas party but later corrected himself that it was for next year’s anniversary celebration. But he was right about the spending plan, which Philhealth officials themselves have admitted,” he said.

“Nagpapalusot lang sila by claiming it was fake news,” he said.

He suggested that of the budgeted amount of P138 million, P130 million should be spent for members’ benefits and P8 million for the anniversary celebration.

In calling for strict austerity on the part of Philhealth, Rodriguez said it is especially more important for the state health insurer to conserve its resources now that Congress has scrapped the P74-billion national government subsidy President Marcos Jr. has proposed for it in the 2025 budget.

He said the subsidy is intended for the premium contribution of “non-contributory” members like the poor, senior citizens, those with disability, and other Filipinos who cannot pay for their health insurance and who are now covered by Philhealth under the Universal Health Care Act.

He said the so-called non-contributory members comprise around half of the more than 110 million Filipinos Philhealth is mandated to provide health insurance for.

“Because of the scrapping of next year’s subsidy, Philhealth will now shoulder the cost of premium for Filipinos who cannot afford to pay for their health insurance,” he added.

The Mindanao lawmaker reminded officials of the state insurer that the agency’s resources have already been depleted with the “illegal transfer” of about P60 billion to the national treasury.

Health advocates have questioned the transfer before the Supreme Court, and it was Rodriguez who urged the tribunal to hear the complaint before the end of the year instead of in January next year.

Rodriguez said though the high court has prohibited further transfers, “this issue is still hanging.”

“What if the Supreme Court says the remittances are constitutional and legal? Philhealth will have to transfer an additional P29.9 billion, further depleting its funds,” he said.

@RonnieSaladero @bongbongmarcos Every citizen should step up ⬆️. It’s a lonely future for our nation. For our children.

[Tony Leachon MD @DrTonyLeachon]

Dear @bongbongmarcos ,

History will remember the legacy of every president not by their rhetoric, but by the lives they changed and the impact they left behind.
The late President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III will forever be celebrated for the Sin Tax Law , which provided the critical lifeline that funded health programs for the poor.

President Rodrigo Duterte will be remembered for the landmark Universal Health Care (UHC) Law , which promised every Filipino the right to accessible and quality healthcare.

But what will history say about President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.?

If the 2025 General Appropriations Act is signed as is — with 90 billion in diverted PhilHealth funds, zero subsidy for healthcare, and inadequate prioritization of the UHC Law — his administration will be etched in the annals of history as the one that turned its back on the sick, the suffering, and the dying.

Mr. President, imagine the faces of those you serve:

- A mother cradling her feverish child in the corridors of an overcrowded hospital, unable to afford even the most basic medication.

-A farmer in the provinces walking miles to a rural health center only to be told there are no funds for his dialysis sessions.

- An elderly man who contributed to PhilHealth all his life, now begging for help as mounting hospital bills eat away at his family’s savings.

These are not just statistics. These are real people — your people — who are crying out for help, for dignity, and for hope. Yet, this proposed budget turns a deaf ear to their suffering. While they endure sleepless nights, skipping meals to make ends meet, the government is poised to deprioritize healthcare in favor of unprogrammed appropriations and the Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP).

When your administration diverted 90 billion from PhilHealth to unprogrammed appropriations, you signaled that healthcare is not a priority. When the government allocated zero subsidy for healthcare in 2025, you placed millions of Filipinos at risk, especially the poorest and most vulnerable. When the cries for support from those who depend on the Universal Health Care Law were met with silence, you betrayed the promise of a healthcare system that is meant to be universal, accessible, and equitable.

This is not about politics anymore Mr. President. This is about lives, Filipino lives. This is about mothers, fathers, children, and grandparents who will not survive another year of neglected healthcare. This is about patients sharing beds in government hospitals because there is no funding for better facilities. This is about the thousands who die preventable deaths every year because there is no medicine, no doctor, no system to catch them when they fall.

Mr. President, this is your moment!

You stand at a crossroads, and your decision on this budget will define your presidency. Veto the 2025 GAA and prioritize the health and dignity of the Filipino people.

Show them that you are a leader who values life over luxury. Show them that you are a president who listens to the cries of the suffering. Show them that you will honor the trust of every Filipino who pays into the system, believing it will be there when they need it most.

Do not let your legacy be one of indifference. Do not let history remember you as the president who allowed the healthcare system to crumble when it needed leadership the most. This is your chance to rise above politics and prove that you care for the Filipino people, not just in words, but in actions.

Mr. President, choose the path of compassion, integrity, and justice. Rewrite your legacy by leading with courage and putting healthcare where it belongs — at the forefront of this nation’s priorities. Do it for the sick. Do it for the poor. Do it for the millions of Filipinos who trusted that their government would not abandon them.
Let history remember you as the president who stood for the people, not the one who turned away from them in their time of greatest need.

[Tony Leachon MD @DrTonyLeachon]

Most disappointing: Senators and Representatives at the bicameral conference committee voted to DEFUND PhilHealth. ZERO budget for PhilHealth. This is a gross violation of the Universal Health Care Act and the Sin Tax Law. This is a gross violation of the Constitution, including the people’s right to health.

Sya na nga halos nagbubuhat ng buong senate. I don't think Bong Go is efficient too. Ginagamit lang naman niyang pang epal etong mga tulong nya. Lagi may pagmumukha nya. Tsaka if efficient sya, why need SenRi?
