Press Release November 17, 2022
Opening statement of Senator Pia S. Cayetano
Good afternoon, Mr. President, dear colleagues, and to the DOH Secretary and the entire DOH family. Mr President, I am ready to sponsor the budget of the Department of Health.
Just for the record, but this budget has already been submitted - PH Institute of Traditional Alternative Health Care, with total new appropriations of P156,205,000. DOH has the third highest budget. Under the leadership of our Chairman, Sen. Sonny Angara, this Senate, your Senate, has envisioned, aspired to, and effectively found fiscal space for many of the budgetary needs of DOH, although of course we continue to support them. As there continue to be more needs, we want to assure DOH and the Filipino people that the Department of Health has the support of the PH Senate. With that, Mr. President, I am ready to accept questions from our colleagues. |
