(UPDATES) SEN. Aquilino Pimentel III, joined by health professionals and civil society organizations, on Friday questioned before the Supreme Court the legality of transferring P89.9 billion from the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) to the national treasury.
The petitioners argued that the insertion of a provision in the 2024 General Appropriations Act (GAA) regarding unprogrammed appropriations (UA) and the subsequent issuance of a Department of Finance (DoF) circular were unconstitutional.
