THE Philippines and Australia inked on Thursday, February 29, 2024, three agreements that are seen to enhance the two countries’ information sharing, capability building, and interoperability in various issues.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the agreements cover the maritime domain and maritime environment, cyber and critical technology, and the effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the two countries.“The three agreements add to the more than 120 agreements that our two countries have signed through the decades. And these are in various fields, including defense cooperation, air services, education, research, scientific and cultural cooperation, amongst others,” he said.Marcos said the agreement on maritime domain is aimed to enhance the cooperation between the Philippines and Australia in order to strengthen the civil military cooperation, promote international law and rules-based international order, safeguard the marine environment and cultural heritage, enhance defense engagements, and establish avenues for dialogue among relevant agencies.As he addressed the Australia Parliament, Marcos highlighted the need for Australia and the Philippines to join forces along with their allies against threats to the rule of law, to stability and peace in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as to reinforce each other’s strength and continue to protect peace and oppose actions that violates international laws.Australia is one of the only two partners with which the Philippines has a Visiting Forces Agreement.“We have long known that our prosperity and development are anchored on the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific. Today, that peace, that stability, and our continued success, have come under threat,” said Marcos.“Once again, we must come together as partners to face the common challenges confronting the region. Not one single country can do this by itself. No single force alone can counter them by themselves,” he added.Marcos reiterated that the Philippine government will not waver in its resolve not to allow any foreign power to take even a single square inch of the Philippine sovereignty amid prevailing issues in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), which he earlier described as worrisome.“I shall never tire of repeating the declaration that I made from the first day that I took office: I will not allow any attempt by any foreign power to take even one square inch of our sovereign territory,” he said.“The challenges that we face may be formidable, but equally formidable is our resolve. We will not yield. Then as now, the security and continued prosperity of the region -- of countries like Australia -- relies upon that effort. Just as we fought to build our rules-based international order, so are we now fighting to protect it,” he said.He maintained, though, that the Philippines has an abiding interest in keeping its seas free and open, and in ensuring unimpeded passage and freedom of navigation as he noted the importance of upholding, preservation and defending the unified and universal character of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the constitution of the oceans.In a joint press conference after a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Marcos said the two countries discussed ways to amplify their joint maritime activities, as they both acknowledge the ties between Australia and the Philippines particularly on defense, maritime cooperation, non-traditional security concerns, trade and investment, development cooperation, multilateral collaboration and people-to-people linkages.“Defense and security remain a key area of cooperation between the Philippines and of Australia. We look forward to amplifying our joint activities and the capacity-building efforts in this regard,” said Marcos.In terms of cyber and critical technology, Marcos said the Philippines is looking forward to sharing information and best practices with Australia, including the conduct of capacity building, promoting a secured digital economy, and achieving greater understanding of the application of international law norms in cyberspace.The cooperation on effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the Philippines and Australia is one of the practical ways of the two countries to strengthen economic relations through the sharing of best practices and the conduct of capacity building on matters involving merger regulations, competition laws, and investigative techniques relevant to implementing competition laws.Marcos and Albanese also discussed greater bilateral economic cooperation, which will allow both the Philippines and Australia to withstand shocks, to be resilient against economic coercion, and to provide an enabling environment for businesses and labor markets.He added that they both look forward to more robust people-to-people ties to drive greater cooperation between the two countries and its peoples.“The significant Filipino diaspora, the fifth largest immigrant community here in Australia, has contributed significantly to the economic and cultural wellbeing not only of our country, but yours as well,” the President said.“It is also an undeniable indicator of Australia’s openness to embrace a globalized and interconnected world. Both the Philippines and Australia welcome future consultations and dialogues as we explore and map the uncharted waters that can bring in new opportunities for a closer and stronger relationship between our two countries,” he added.

ALMOST a year since the World Health Organization (WHO) stopped considering Covid-19 as a global health emergency, many Cebu-based healthcare workers still have to receive their cash allowances.According to the United Private Hospital Unions of the Philippines (Uphup), over 80,000 healthcare workers from 25 private hospitals are waiting for their health emergency allowance (HEA) promised to them by the Department of Health (DOH)).The DOH 7 owes them 12 to 20 months’ worth of HEA, Uphup spokesman Ronald Ignacio told SunStar Cebu in an interview on Sunday, April 14, 2024. Based on the HEA dashboard of the DOH’s website, as of April 3, only P61.6 million of the P23.265 billion approved HEA for 2023 has been released.In Central Visayas, P1.969 billion was approved for 379,339 healthcare workers’ claims for 2023, with zero amount released.In Cebu, a budget of P386.3 million was approved intended for 81,809 healthcare workers.The dashboard includes figures not only of private hospitals, but also of state-run hospitals and other health facilities.The HEA, formerly known as One Covid Allowance, covers the period from July 2021 to July 2023.Republic Act 11712The HEA is provided for under Republic Act 11712, or the Public Health Emergency Benefits and Allowances for Health Care Workers Act, which entitles health workers to receive HEA for every month they render service while the country is under a state of public health emergency.The amount healthcare workers receive varies depending on the risk level of their employment: P3,000 for low-risk areas; P6,000 for medium-risk areas; and P9,000 for high-risk areas. Ignacio said only healthcare workers from the Cebu South General Hospital and the Siliman University Medical Center in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental have received their HEA.He said healthcare workers in more than 40 private hospitals in the region have yet to receive their HEA.Ignacio said Mark Quilates from the DOH 7 informed the group that the health agency is finalizing the disbursement of P2 billion.However, he said he learned that the DOH 7 still needs another P2.4 billion to settle all remaining arrears its owes healthcare workers in the region.SunStar Cebu asked DOH 7 Director Jaime Bernadas for the current status of the HEA and the reasons for its delay on Sunday, but he was unable to provide specific details as the data were in his office.The Uphup appeared before the Senate last April 2, along with officials of the DOH and the Department on Budget Management, to discuss and answer the query of the Senate committee on health and demography.Ignacio said the officials were “in a quandary” and were “pointing fingers” during the discussion.“None of it was illuminating as to when we will finally get the remaining arrears of the HEA owed to us. It was clear though that these said agencies are in a quandary as to how to reconcile their data and unite once and for all for the welfare of the healthcare workers they once called heroes,” he said.QuitclaimMeanwhile, Ignacio said many healthcare workers in Central Visayas have received quitclaim deeds, which they found “highly irregular.”The quitclaim states that recipients acknowledge that the amount they will receive is correct and sufficient and they will waive any actions or complaints against their employer and DOH.Ignacio said this violates the joint administrative order from the DOH and the Department of Labor and Employment that was designed to hear complaints regarding the HEA.He said the quitclaim “invalidates” the order should there be discrepancies.“Healthcare workers are desperate. They will be coerced to sign that quitclaim even if they know that it will be disadvantageous to them or that there is a discrepancy just for the hope of finally laying their hands on their much deserved and long delayed HEA,” he said.Ignacio said Quilates explained to him that the quitclaim was intended for healthcare workers to return any extra amount they receive for a specific month.Ignacio said the concern has already been conferred to Uphup’s legal counsel.The Uphup is composed of representatives of healthcare workers from hospitals that have no employee unions.The WHO announced on May 5, 2023 that Covid-19 no longer qualifies as a global emergency, three years after it wreaked worldwide havoc in 2020.President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. also lifted the state of public health emergency in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic on July 22, 2023. / JJL

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos ALMOST a year since the World Health Organization (WHO) stopped considering Covid-19 as a global health emergency, many Cebu-based healthcare workers still have to receive their cash allowances.According to the United Private Hospital Unions of the Philippines (Uphup), over 80,000 healthcare workers from 25 private hospitals are waiting for their health emergency allowance (HEA) promised to them by the Department of Health (DOH)).The DOH 7 owes them 12 to 20 months’ worth of HEA, Uphup spokesman Ronald Ignacio told SunStar Cebu in an interview on Sunday, April 14, 2024. Based on the HEA dashboard of the DOH’s website, as of April 3, only P61.6 million of the P23.265 billion approved HEA for 2023 has been released.In Central Visayas, P1.969 billion was approved for 379,339 healthcare workers’ claims for 2023, with zero amount released.In Cebu, a budget of P386.3 million was approved intended for 81,809 healthcare workers.The dashboard includes figures not only of private hospitals, but also of state-run hospitals and other health facilities.The HEA, formerly known as One Covid Allowance, covers the period from July 2021 to July 2023.Republic Act 11712The HEA is provided for under Republic Act 11712, or the Public Health Emergency Benefits and Allowances for Health Care Workers Act, which entitles health workers to receive HEA for every month they render service while the country is under a state of public health emergency.The amount healthcare workers receive varies depending on the risk level of their employment: P3,000 for low-risk areas; P6,000 for medium-risk areas; and P9,000 for high-risk areas. Ignacio said only healthcare workers from the Cebu South General Hospital and the Siliman University Medical Center in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental have received their HEA.He said healthcare workers in more than 40 private hospitals in the region have yet to receive their HEA.Ignacio said Mark Quilates from the DOH 7 informed the group that the health agency is finalizing the disbursement of P2 billion.However, he said he learned that the DOH 7 still needs another P2.4 billion to settle all remaining arrears its owes healthcare workers in the region.SunStar Cebu asked DOH 7 Director Jaime Bernadas for the current status of the HEA and the reasons for its delay on Sunday, but he was unable to provide specific details as the data were in his office.The Uphup appeared before the Senate last April 2, along with officials of the DOH and the Department on Budget Management, to discuss and answer the query of the Senate committee on health and demography.Ignacio said the officials were “in a quandary” and were “pointing fingers” during the discussion.“None of it was illuminating as to when we will finally get the remaining arrears of the HEA owed to us. It was clear though that these said agencies are in a quandary as to how to reconcile their data and unite once and for all for the welfare of the healthcare workers they once called heroes,” he said.QuitclaimMeanwhile, Ignacio said many healthcare workers in Central Visayas have received quitclaim deeds, which they found “highly irregular.”The quitclaim states that recipients acknowledge that the amount they will receive is correct and sufficient and they will waive any actions or complaints against their employer and DOH.Ignacio said this violates the joint administrative order from the DOH and the Department of Labor and Employment that was designed to hear complaints regarding the HEA.He said the quitclaim “invalidates” the order should there be discrepancies.“Healthcare workers are desperate. They will be coerced to sign that quitclaim even if they know that it will be disadvantageous to them or that there is a discrepancy just for the hope of finally laying their hands on their much deserved and long delayed HEA,” he said.Ignacio said Quilates explained to him that the quitclaim was intended for healthcare workers to return any extra amount they receive for a specific month.Ignacio said the concern has already been conferred to Uphup’s legal counsel.The Uphup is composed of representatives of healthcare workers from hospitals that have no employee unions.The WHO announced on May 5, 2023 that Covid-19 no longer qualifies as a global emergency, three years after it wreaked worldwide havoc in 2020.President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. also lifted the state of public health emergency in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic on July 22, 2023. / JJL
