'P15B spent for health workers' risk allowance, hazard pay'

Aside from the risk allowance and hazard pay, the DOH also disbursed P1.3 billion for meals, accommodation and transportation of medical frontliners, and another P549.7 million for sickness and death claims, he said. Health spokesperson Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire belied reports that the DOH owes hospitals some P90 billion."It doesn't mean na kapag nag-compute ang isang ospital ng kanilang total, yun na talaga ang maibibigay. Kailangan po namin i-validate yan," she said.

"Napapanisan sila ng pagkain. Hindi sila nakakakain ng oras ... So the agency sough the approval of the Office of the President to provide provision in cash," Vega said.
