MANILA - The Alliance of Health Workers decried what it says as government’s lack of priority for public health, as supposedly seen in the budget cuts that hospitals would suffer next year.

Compared with the Department of Public Works and Highway's P686.1 billion proposed budget, the DOH's budget is six times smaller, the group noted. “Ang PS o personal services budget ay inilaan para sa pampasahod ng ating health workers. Ano ba talaga ang plano ng gobyerno? Magtanggal ng mga health workers sa gitna ng pandemya?” said Robert Mendoza, AHW president.On top of those concerns, the group said most COVID-19 benefits remain unpaid, even after an ultimatum set by President Rodrigo Duterte.

“Kasinungalingan ang lahat ng mga sinasabi nila kasi napakadami pa pong hindi nakatanggap ng mga benepisyo, especially po special risk allowance, active hazard duty pay at ang meal, accommodation and transportation allowance," said Cristy Donguines, president of the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center Employees Association.
