MANILA - State insurance agency PhilHealth owes the Philippine Red Cross some P623 million for COVID-19 testing as this amount balloons per day, the humanitarian organization's chief said Wednesday.
"It’s really nonpayment of bills on time that is killing us here. They owe us, as of December 1, P623,321,000. It’s a moving target," Sen. Richard Gordon told ANC's Headstart. While PhilHealth has paid some P500 million in October and another P100 million in November, Gordon said the Red Cross is consuming about P25 million per day for testing.
"It keeps on moving and moving and we want to compress in such a way as in the original contract that they owe us only P100 million para hindi naman kami nasa alanganin," he said. PRC temporary halted its COVID-19 testing in mid-October after PhilHealth failed to pay close to P1 billion.
