PhilHealth to pay PRC debt on Oct 26
PhilHealth will pay its debt to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) on Monday, October 26.
The payment follows a Department of Justice (DOJ) legal opinion that the agreement between PhilHealth and PRC is not subject to procurement law.
PhilHealth chief Dante Gierran said they would only proceed with payment if all legal issues regarding their memorandum of agreement are settled.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque urged the Red Cross to resume COVID-19 testing services for those chargeable to PhilHealth, noting that President Duterte has committed to paying off the debt.
The DOJ opinion states that PhilHealth should provide partial payment while the MOA undergoes review.
