PhilHealth Strictly Limits Christmas Party Budget to Under P2M
In a move to adhere to President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.'s call for austerity, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) has announced that it will significantly scale down its holiday celebrations this year. By allocating a budget of less than P2 million for its Christmas party, PhilHealth demonstrates its commitment to prudent financial management and respect for the President's directive. This decision reflects the corporation's efforts to prioritize its resources and ensure that its primary focus remains on providing quality health insurance services to its beneficiaries. As a government-owned and controlled corporation, PhilHealth's adherence to the President's call for frugality is expected to set a positive example for other state-owned entities. With its reduced budget, PhilHealth aims to showcase that even modest celebrations can be enjoyable and meaningful, highlighting the true spirit of the holiday season. In line with the current trend of 'sustainable living' and 'responsible spending', PhilHealth's decision is seen as a step in the right direction, promoting a culture of thriftiness and 'fiscal responsibility' within the organization.
