PHILHEALTH REACHOUT BOOTH: Bringing PhilHealth Closer to Health Care Professionals


  • PHILHEALTH REACHOUT BOOTH: Bringing PhilHealth Closer to Health Care Professionals
    • With the aim of establishing a mechanism for regular communication between PhilHealth and its accredited health care providers, Project ReachOut was created in February 2013.
    Since then, the ReachOut team has conducted several trainings, fora and seminars for our partner Health Care Providers in order to update them on the latest PhilHealth circulars and policies and to address their concerns. Based on the latest guidelines in the implementation of the PhilHealth ReachOut Program, the PhilHealth Regional Office I considers the Reachout Booth as one of the methods of bringing PhilHealth closer to the Health Care Professionals.
    In June, PhilHealth was invited to attend the 90th Anniversary and Induction Program of the Pangasinan Medical Society at CSI Stadia, Dagupan City. A Reachout Booth was set up, with members of the ReachOut Team, together with the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Section Head responding to questions of visitors. Forms like Application for Accreditation/ Re-accreditation of Health Care Providers and information materials were distributed. Likewise, their questions and requests for clarifications on PhilHealth policies were also answered.

    The ReachOut Booth was greatly appreciated by the Health Care Professionals since their clinic hours and hospital duty schedules do not permit them easily to go to the PhilHealth office to clarify their concerns. Through the ReachOut booth, PhilHealth’s relationship with its accredited Health Care Institutions and Health Care Professionals is strengthened. (END) (Jerelle Lyn B. Sison)

    PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

    MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

    Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

    MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
