PhilHealth makes P500-M partial payment for Red Cross’ COVID-19 tests

MANILA, Philippines — A plane chartered by the Philippine Red Cross will fly to China on Thursday, Oct. 29, to fetch 450,000 COVID-19 testing kits, Sen. Richard Gordon, who is the organization’s chairman, said Tuesday night.

“We had written another letter so that the plane would now take off on Thursday to China,” Gordon said in an online press conference shortly after the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) settled half of its over P1-billion debt to the Red Cross.

The chartered flight and the testing kits will cost $6 million, according to Gordon.

The flight was supposed to leave for China on Tuesday, but the Red Cross had to cancel it because PhilHealth had not paid its remaining balance.

The Red Cross did not have money then to pay for the flight and the testing kits, Gordon explained.

The rescheduled flight will return to the Philippines also on Thursday.

“We still have the inventory. I play safe… I think we will have enough [test kits] for the rest of the week, until Sunday. When the ones we’re getting [from China] arrive, then we’ll be confident,” the senator added, speaking partly in Filipino.

Gordon said the Red Cross would resume “in full” COVID-19 testing for the government after PhilHealth paid it P500 million.

MANILA, Philippines — Ombudsman Samuel Martires issued on Tuesday a preventive suspension order on five officials of the Department of Health (DOH) for their alleged shortcomings that resulted in the late release of COVID-19 frontliners’ benefits.

The following were suspended for six months without pay:

  • Undersecretary Roger Tong-an
  • Assistant Secretary Kenneth Ronquillo
  • Assistant Secretary Maylene Beltran
  • Director Laureano Cruz
  • Administrative Officer Esperanza Carating

According to Martires, they were suspended to prevent them from influencing of interfering in the probe on the issue — especially since they had been charged with gross neglect of duty and insufficiency and incompetence in the performance of official duties.

The Office of the Ombudsman has been investigating the DOH for its alleged shortcomings in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the DOH was accused of lacking personal protective equipment for health workers and being late in its release of funds for frontliners representing emergency or hazard benefits.

Talks also about the insufficient compensation of some health workers started after a nurse who died of COVID-19 was revealed to have gotten only a small portion of the hazard pay her family was expecting.

Jonathan So, Aiai delas Alas, Carlito Macadangdang

Comedy Concert Queen Aiai delas Alas poses with Siomai King’s top executives — Jonathan So, president and CEO, and Carlito Macadangdang, vice president and CFO.

Comedy Concert Queen Aiai delas Alas-Sibayan continues to extend her reach and provide support for Siomai King as its Brand Ambassador in its goal of helping Filipino entrepreneurs get through the most challenging times of this COVID-19 pandemic.

Siomai King — Ang Hari ng Siomai — believes that the award-winning Kapuso actress can represent the brand well with her influence and unique qualities.

The company, which has been in local franchising for 14 years, is the first in the industry to transition to being an online franchising platform, which now has more than 1,000 food cart outlets nationwide.

It has thus helped a lot of Filipinos, especially those who have been greatly affected financially by the pandemic.

Jomathan So, Aiai delas Alas, Carlito Macadangdang

Aiai delas Alas reaffirms her role as one of Siomai King’s Brand Ambassadors as she signs her contract with the brand owners — Jonathan So and Carlito Macadangdang.

The innovative online franchising platform was conceptualized and implemented by its owners, Jonathan So, who company president and CEO, and Carlito Macadangdang, vice president and CFO.

Aside from the online food concept, Siomai King also takes care of the overall franchise operations – from order processing to delivery and the facilitation of an online franchisee’s commission through its personalized “shoplink” for each franchisee.

Aiai delas Alas

Aiai delas Alas it not only a celebrity ambassador but also a franchisee of Siomai King.

The online franchisees only have to post and share their shoplinks through their own social media accounts to reach potential customers.

Simpy by using their social media accounts through a smartphone and putting in a fraction of the usual capital needed for a traditional food cart franchise business, online franchisees will have the opportunity to earn enough to provide for their families in the comfort of their homes and away from all the virus-related stress.

Siomai King is continuously innovating its online infrastructure and at the same time looking to add more mouth-watering and exquisite food product lines to serve its online franchisees and customers better.
