"your words of consolation helped me a lot, and my members, family, and the company staff have all been very considerate, so i'm doing well so don't worry anymore! got it!???"
this is so funny 😭
a fan heard someone say that they hoped irene would find a man who treats her well during her concert, so the fan gave that person a judgmental look and wanted to say, “girl, this entire venue is full of girls who dream of dating her. please stop.”
Makakarami ako ng tequila or ng rhum pero smirnoff 3-4bottles either tulog na or umiiyak na ko. Maybe psychological lang sakin na pag malamig yung drinks madali ako tamaan compared sa mga gumuguhit sa lalamunan
So do you hide the spade key in a statue that only moves if someone inserts a certain unicorn medal, which just happens to be sitting on a table under Chris's diary?
'I THANK THE MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER, NOT HER HONOR'
Nagkapalitan ng argumento sina Senator Pia Cayetano at Senator Risa Hontiveros sa sesyon sa Senado para sa period of amendments.
Nilinaw ni Cayetano na sa Majority Floor Leader siya nagpasalamat dahil ito ang pumayag na maipresenta ang kanilang mga nais i-amyenda, kasunod ng pagtugon ni Hontiveros dito.
Agad itong binweltahan ni Hontiveros at ipinaliwanag na walang committee amendments at walang isinumiteng individual amendment ang ibang mga senador kung kaya’t isinara na niya ang naturang period of amendments. | DZRH News

PhilHealth is omnipresent in every Filipino’s payslip, taking money whether workers like it or not. Yet in moments of greatest need, it often feels absent.
That’s what happened in the viral case of Maria Lourdes Sulit. Her husband Marvin contributed for over 25 years. When he died of a brain hematoma, PhilHealth declined to cover their nearly ₱200,000 hospital bill.
The reason: a technicality. He was confined for less than 24 hours. Under PhilHealth Circular No. 2020-0007, inpatient benefits require a 24-hour stay. But Circular No. 2025-0020 allows outpatient emergency benefits in cases ending in death within 24 hours. So which is it, then?
Sulit’s case is yet another crack in a system already under strain.
PhilHealth is mandatory under the Universal Health Care Law. Every Filipino is automatically enrolled, meaning every worker is required to contribute—regardless of income, preference, or private coverage.
And that has long been a point of frustration. Ask any tito, tita, tropa, or kakilala, and a familiar story emerges: PhilHealth often covers only a fraction of the bill. Families still shoulder significant out-of-pocket expenses.
Then come the administrative failures: the delays, the waiting, the stress on top of the hospitalization stresses.
Private health maintenance organizations help fill some of the gap. But even they can only do so much, often still leaving families exposed to catastrophic expenses that the public system is supposed to cushion.
And then, there’s the issue that refuses to go away: corruption.
PhilHealth has been repeatedly drawn into controversies involving anomalous claims, questionable reimbursements, and fund management issues that have reached Congress and the courts.
The latest one involved around ₱60 billion in excess funds—transferred to the national treasury. The Supreme Court later ruled that it’s unconstitutional, questioning whether health funds were being redirected away from their intended purpose.
The money has since been restored to PhilHealth, but its image isn’t getting any better. To many, it remains an agency that collects mandatory contributions, yet Filipinos don't get what they pay for.
Calls to abolish PhilHealth continue to surface. Let Filipinos keep their money. Rely on private insurance or personal means instead.
It’s understandable—especially in cases like Sulit’s—but abolition without replacement risks dismantling the country’s only nationwide health risk pool.
For all its flaws, PhilHealth remains the only attempt at universal coverage at scale. Removing it wouldn’t erase the need for protection.
So the real issue is not just whether to abolish PhilHealth, but what must replace or radically reform it.
Our Asian neighbors have made clearer choices. Thailand funds universal healthcare through general taxation, allowing patients to access care with minimal or no out-of-pocket costs. Malaysia heavily subsidizes public hospitals, keeping treatment affordable and predictable. South Korea operates a hybrid system where mandatory contributions are matched with reliable, structured coverage at the point of care.
The Philippines remains stuck in between: compulsory contributions without guaranteed protection, universal enrollment without universal certainty.
Now, the question is no longer whether PhilHealth should exist. Can it continue in its current form when the gap between contribution and protection remains this wide?
Can Filipinos still afford to pay premiums to a system they cannot rely on in a life-and-death situation?
Otherwise, PhilHealth only gives Filipinos hell.
