THE Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) on Friday assured the public that its funds were stable despite receiving zero government subsidy in the 2025 national budget.<\/p>\r\r

\"Despite the zero subsidy, the benefit packages of PhilHealth will not be affected; in fact, we will increase that and we can assure you that we will continue the service benefits of PhilHealth,\" PhilHealth President Emmanuel Ledesma said.<\/p>\r\r

PhilHealth Senior Vice President for Fund Management Sector Renato Limsiaco Jr. said the state health insurer's P492 billion investment portfolio was more than adequate to fulfill its functions.<\/p>\r\r

\"PhilHealth has enough funds to cover whatever payment that we will release in 2025,\" Limsiaco added.<\/p>\r\r
