THE Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has released a total of P91.283 billion from 2021 to 2024 for the Public Health Emergency Benefits and Allowances (Pheba) for all healthcare workers, both in public and private hospitals.In a statement on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, the DBM said that the funds had been released to the Department of Health (DOH), designated as the implementing agency for distributing mandatory emergency benefits and allowances to the country’s healthcare workers.It said P12.1 billion were released in 2021, P28 billion in 2022, P31.1 billion in 2023 and P19.962 billion so far for 2024.The DBM said the funds include P73.26 billion for Health Emergency Allowance (HEA)/One Covid-19 Allowance (OCA), P12.90 billion for Special Risk Allowance (SRA), P3.65 billion for Covid-19 Sickness and Death Compensation, and P1.4 billion for other benefits, such as meal, accommodation, and transportation allowance.However, the agency said that based on the DOH report, out of the said amount, it was able to release only a total of P76 billion to pay for 8,549,207 claims from July 1, 2021, to July 20, 2023.“In a meeting held earlier this year between the DBM and the DOH, it was agreed that there is a need for the DOH to urgently finalize the computation of the HEA claims in arrears to enable the DBM to determine if additional funding requirements are necessary despite the cumulatively released Pheba allocations for our healthcare and non-healthcare workers,” the DBM said.DBM suggested that the DOH develop a HEA mapping that will capture and present all Pheba claims and payments by Region/Health Facilities for the period covered by the benefit.“The information gathered from the HEA mapping shall be used in expediting final determination of the amount of deficiency to cover the full settlement of arrears. The DBM likewise recommended that the said record be published on the DOH website for transparency to all claimants and stakeholders alike,” it said.“The DOH committed to submit the aforementioned HEA mapping with the final amount of computed Pheba deficiencies not later than March this year, subject to the DBM’s validation based on submitted documents and the amounts reflected in the Health Emergency Allowance Processing System,” it added.In a letter to DBM, Health Undersecretary Ma. Carolina Vidal-Taiño said they are yet to complete the HEA mapping where both the released funds and the remaining funds required for the aforementioned grant will be outlined.

The executive department, through the Local Finance Committee (LFC), will then look for the funding source.He added that Rama wants to prevent a recurrence of the issues and controversies that surrounded the 2023 Christmas bonus for city hall employees.Last December, Rama promised a P35,000 Christmas bonus for all regular and casual city hall employees; however, the city council approved only a P20,000 Christmas bonus.“Karon para wala na gyud issues and concerns, let the Sanggunian suggest, and hopefully the mayor can connect with the Sanggunian that this is the amount that they have in mind,” Castillo said.(Now, to avoid any further issues and concerns, let the city council suggest, and hopefully, the mayor can coordinate with the Sanggunian regarding the amount they have in mind.)Castillo said Mayor Rama’s proposal, with the concurrence of the council, will be evaluated by the LFC, subject to savings and cash flow of the City Government that will support the source of funding.After this, the executive department will then propose to the City Council a supplemental budget that will fund the charter day bonus to the employees, Castillo said.However, Wenceslao on Wednesday said they were waiting for the executive department to submit its proposal to the legislative department for the approval of the Charter Day bonus.He added it will be the council that will determine whether to slash or amend the exact amount of the bonus that will be granted in the supplemental budget.Wenceslao refused to comment yet on the mayor’s request, saying this was the first time he had ever encountered a situation wherein the city council had to suggest the amount for the budget of the Charter Day bonus.In 2023, the employees received P15,000 each after the Council approved Supplemental Budget 1 for 2023 amounting to P79 million for the Charter Day bonus of around 5,000 city hall employees.Last January, however, City Hall reported that it had about 9,000 em­plo­­yees on its payroll, including over 4,000 job order per­sonnel, 3,212 casual and 1,400 regular employees.The Cebu City Government celebrates Char­ter Day every Feb. 24.

Chinese coast guard ships also regularly approach disputed Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands near Taiwan.The so-called “gray-zone” harassment by China has included shining military-grade lasers at the Philippine Coast Guard, firing water cannons at vessels and ramming into Philippine ships near the Second Thomas Shoal, which both Manila and Beijing claim. In 1999, Manila intentionally ran a World War II–era ship aground on the shoal, establishing a permanent military presence there.Biden, in a wide-ranging phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week, raised concerns about China’s operations in the South China Sea, including efforts to impede the Philippines from resupplying its forces on the Second Thomas Shoal.Chinese officials have bristled at criticism over their action in the South China Sea and blamed the U.S. for exacerbating tensions.“No one should violate China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and China remains steadfast in safeguarding our lawful rights,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Thursday.The White House billed the first-ever trilateral summit with Japan and the Philippines as a potent response to China’s attempts at “intimidation” and said it sould send a message that China is “the outlier in the neighborhood,” according to an administration official. The White House said in a statement that Biden and Marcos during the talks “underscored their commitment to international law in the South China Sea" and reaffirmed their countries' treaty obligations to defend each other.The leaders also announced joint patrols in the Indo-Pacific this year, a follow-up on law enforcement drills carried out last year by the allies in waters near the South China Sea.

In 1999, Manila intentionally ran a World War II–era ship aground on the shoal, establishing a permanent military presence there.Biden, in a wide-ranging phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week, raised concerns about China’s operations in the South China Sea, including efforts to impede the Philippines from resupplying its forces on the Second Thomas Shoal.Chinese officials have bristled at criticism over their action in the South China Sea and blamed the U.S. for exacerbating tensions.“No one should violate China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and China remains steadfast in safeguarding our lawful rights,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Thursday.The White House billed the first-ever trilateral summit with Japan and the Philippines as a potent response to China’s attempts at “intimidation” and said it sould send a message that China is “the outlier in the neighborhood,” according to an administration official. The White House said in a statement that Biden and Marcos during the talks “underscored their commitment to international law in the South China Sea" and reaffirmed their countries' treaty obligations to defend each other.The leaders also announced joint patrols in the Indo-Pacific this year, a follow-up on law enforcement drills carried out last year by the allies in waters near the South China Sea. The U.S. Coast Guard will also welcome Philippine and Japanese coast guard members onto a U.S. Coast Guard vessel during the patrol for training, according to senior Biden administration officials who insisted on anonymity to preview the talks.The summit followed Biden's one-on-one talks and glitzy state dinner Wednesday at the White House for the Japanese premier, a diplomatic honor meant to recognize Tokyo's growing clout on the global stage. White House officials said they were aiming to send a clear signal that the Democratic administration remains determined to build what it calls a “latticework” of alliances in the Indo-Pacific even as it grapples with the Israel-Hamas war and Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Biden also hosted Marcos for a private meeting at the White House ahead of the three-way talks."Today’s summit is an opportunity to define the future that we want, and how we intend to achieve it together," Marcos said.Biden also announced that the three nations were launching a a new economic corridor in the Philippines as part of the G7 Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment that would help develop clean energy, port, agriculture and other projects in the country. Biden said the leaders were forging a “new era” and predicted “a great deal of history in our world will be written in the Indo-Pacific in the coming years.”The United States, the United Kingdom and Japan on Wednesday announced joint military exercises in the Indo-Pacific in 2025. That followed the Pentagon revealing earlier this week that the U.S., the U.K. and Australia were considering including Japan in the AUKUS partnership, a grouping launched in 2021 that aims to equip Australia with nuclear-powered and conventionally armed submarines.Kishida visited Capitol Hill on Thursday for an address to U.S. lawmakers that focused on the need to strengthen the partnership between the U.S. and Japan at a time of tension in the Asia-Pacific and skepticism in Congress about U.S. involvement abroad. He offered concern about “the undercurrent of self-doubt among some Americans about what your role in the world should be.”Biden has made improving relations with the Philippines a priority since Marcos became the country's president in June 2022. The relationship has had ups and downs over the years and was in a difficult place when Marcos took office. Human rights groups said Marcos’ predecessor Rodrigo Duterte's “war on drugs” resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings.Marcos, the son and namesake of the country’s former dictator, said as a candidate he would look to pursue closer ties with China. But he has increasingly drifted toward Washington amid concerns about China’s coercive action.Biden hosted him for talks at the White House last year, the first Washington visit by a Philippine president in over a decade. Biden also met him on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly soon after Marcos took office, and dispatched Vice President Kamala Harris to Manila in 2022 to meet him.Last year, the Philippines agreed to give the U.S. access to four more bases on the islands.

We have not yet decided,” he said in a text message Wednesday.Rama announced the Charter Day bonus for city hall employees during the flag-raising ceremony on Feb. 5.Castillo said once the City Council comes up with the amount, it will then be the basis for the formal proposal of the mayor. The executive department, through the Local Finance Committee (LFC), will then look for the funding source.He added that Rama wants to prevent a recurrence of the issues and controversies that surrounded the 2023 Christmas bonus for city hall employees.Last December, Rama promised a P35,000 Christmas bonus for all regular and casual city hall employees; however, the city council approved only a P20,000 Christmas bonus.“Karon para wala na gyud issues and concerns, let the Sanggunian suggest, and hopefully the mayor can connect with the Sanggunian that this is the amount that they have in mind,” Castillo said.(Now, to avoid any further issues and concerns, let the city council suggest, and hopefully, the mayor can coordinate with the Sanggunian regarding the amount they have in mind.)Castillo said Mayor Rama’s proposal, with the concurrence of the council, will be evaluated by the LFC, subject to savings and cash flow of the City Government that will support the source of funding.After this, the executive department will then propose to the City Council a supplemental budget that will fund the charter day bonus to the employees, Castillo said.However, Wenceslao on Wednesday said they were waiting for the executive department to submit its proposal to the legislative department for the approval of the Charter Day bonus.He added it will be the council that will determine whether to slash or amend the exact amount of the bonus that will be granted in the supplemental budget.Wenceslao refused to comment yet on the mayor’s request, saying this was the first time he had ever encountered a situation wherein the city council had to suggest the amount for the budget of the Charter Day bonus.In 2023, the employees received P15,000 each after the Council approved Supplemental Budget 1 for 2023 amounting to P79 million for the Charter Day bonus of around 5,000 city hall employees.Last January, however, City Hall reported that it had about 9,000 em­plo­­yees on its payroll, including over 4,000 job order per­sonnel, 3,212 casual and 1,400 regular employees.The Cebu City Government celebrates Char­ter Day every Feb. 24.
