Today, February 14, newly-appointed President and CEO Dr. Edwin M. Mercado will join 9,000 officers and employees from across the country in a solemn eucharistic mass to celebrate the state insurer’s 30th anniversary. Father Jerry Orbos, SVD, will officiate the mass.
To follow through with the directive of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., on ensuring unhampered services, the mass shall be followed by a Board Meeting chaired by Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa. Critical policy issues, addressing both the needs of providers and members, will be discussed.
“Nais nating tapatan ng buong-pusong paglilingkod ang mainit na pagtanggap ng ating stakeholders, public health and medical communities, at lalung-lalo na ng mga kawani ng PhilHealth na siyang katuwang natin upang mas palawigin pa ang ating serbisyo,” Mercado said. Thirty years since its inception, PhilHealth remains committed to delivering even more responsive and quality healthcare for all Filipinos.
