Senator Manny Pacquiao appealed to the national government to immediately release the additional P1.23 billion for the special risk allowance of all health workers.

“Hindi na sana nagpoprotesta ang mga health workers sa lansangan at sa harap ng Department of Health kung natutugunan ng gobyerno ang kanilang mga pangangailangan sa harap ng panganib na mahawa sa COVID-19 o mamatay mismo dahil dito,” he pointed out.

The Department of Health has reported that it has already provided some P15.1 billion worth of benefits to health workers since September 2020. The amount includes P13 billion in SRA and active duty pay; P1 billion for meals, accommodation, transportation, and life insurance; and P500 million for sickness and death benefits for those who contracted COVID-19.

While the Department of Budget and Management has already released the funds for the third and fourth batch of SRA payments amounting to P888 million, it has yet to release the funds for the fifth batch of health workers. “Hindi katanggap-tanggap ang pagka-antala ng benefits para sa mga frontliners natin sa pakikipaglaban sa COVID-19. Mayroong silang mga pamilyang sinusuportahan sa maliit nilang sahod,” the lawmaker emphasized.
