Supreme Court Concludes Hearings on PhilHealth Fund Transfer Controversy
File photo for reference only The Supreme Court has wrapped up hearings on the contentious transfer of P89.9 billion in excess funds from the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) to the national treasury. The legal and constitutional validity of this move has been questioned, with Associate Justice Rodil Zalameda emphasising the need for compliance with constitutional provisions regardless of the transfer's perceived benefits. Finance Secretary Ralph Recto defended the transfer, arguing its legality and necessity in addressing the nation's growing financial needs. He stated that the funds, which the government views as unutilized subsidies, should not sit idle when they could strategically aid various programmes. Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra further explained that the funds, amassed over three years, were partially transferred before the Supreme Court halted the process with a temporary restraining order. Justice Zalameda highlighted the need to align such fund transfers with the Constitution, particularly noting provisions allowing the redirection of funds only when their original purpose is fulfilled or abandoned. Guevarra contended that the funds' return to the treasury did not signify abandonment, arguing they could still assist the Universal Health Care Act within its decade-long implementation framework. Highlighting another concern, Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen questioned the notion of commingled funds, stressing the constitutional obligation to prioritise health-related uses of the PhilHealth funds. Leonen suggested the fund's true purpose might be overshadowed by the government's broader economic aims. In addition, Associate Justice Antonio Kho scrutinised deviations from the Universal Health Care Act's funding directives, notably remittances from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., which should benefit PhilHealth rather than enrich the general fund. After the hearing in Baguio City, Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo asked all parties to submit detailed memorandums or consolidated summaries of their arguments within 30 days, signalling a critical phase in resolving these legal questions, reported Inquirer. -- 2025-04-04 -

More Wise issues
Maybe because this is a thread about Wise transfers -- and you jumped in with the SWIFT 8 digit system, or whatever. I thought this might be a nice time to point out that Wise, if you use, for example, USD vs Thai baht as your sending currency -- Wise will send it SWIFT. It's actually a good point worth noting, as you can inadvertently push the wrong send button, if you've set up a USD route to Thailand with Wise. I assumed, since this was a Wise thread, and you began talking about SWIFT transfers -- that you had inadvertently sent through Wise, a SWIFT wire transfer. Not sure why you mentioned SWIFT in a Wise thread? But, don't really care.
