"Para naman sa ating mga kawani sa gobyerno, meron silang maaasahang medical allowance bilang karagdagang benepisyo sa susunod na taon," he said. "At hindi lamang yon, meron ding napipintong umento sa suweldo na makukuha nila sa apat na tranche," he explained.

“P7,000 each employee po. Wala po kaming ano eh. Sa executive po, noon pong pumasok po ako, matagal na, pero galing ako sa Senate. So, iyong may mga fiscal autonomy, they provide. So, pagdating ko po sa executive, napansin ko, parang wala po kaming medical allowance o HMO, so hindi po kami nakakapagpa-checkup, at least iyong blood test and all. Tapos, ER wala rin kaming access sa ganoon. So, we pay for it or maybe PhilHealth po. But, I think, this is a nice add to the benefits and allowances na mayroon po ang mga empleyado,” Pangandaman said.
