MANILA, Philippines — Representative Wilbert Lee of the Agri party-list said
has highlighted issues with the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth), following grievances from several patients regarding its purported inability to enforce the Outpatient Emergency Care Benefit (OECB) program, long after it was supposed to take effect.
“We aim to avoid misinformation, particularly concerning healthcare services. It’s crucial we don’t offer misleading promises regarding benefits to our countrymen who have for too long been denied the care they truly merit—particularly since PhilHealth possesses billions in resources meant to serve them,” stated Agri Rep. Wilbert Lee.
Lee penned a letter directed at PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Edwin Mercado aiming to get clarity on the matter.
In his letter dated March 23, the party-list representative referred to the billing statements of two patients from two different hospitals. Both showed that PhilHealth did not cover any costs related to the emergency room services, indicating that the OECB package was neither respected nor enforced.
“It is unfortunate and intolerable that even after the formal declaration from PhilHealth, this ‘outpatient emergency care service’ remains non-functional and inaccessible to PhilHealth members at numerous—if not all—hospitals nationwide,” Lee stated.
In a communication with SANGGRALOKA on Thursday, PhilHealth affirmed that all members have access to the OECB package at all Level 1 through Level 3 certified hospitals beginning February 14th.

No separate accreditation
“It also states in PhilHealth Advisory No. 2025-0009… that a distinct accreditation is unnecessary for providing the OECB package since the capacity of healthcare facilities for this benefit was evaluated during their grant of PhilHealth accreditation,” it mentioned.
By February 28, there were 1,816 hospitals and infirmaries across the country that PhilHealth had accredited. These facilities include both government-owned and privately-run institutions.
Philhealth instructed individuals to inform them about certified hospitals failing to offer the OECB package at hotline number (02) 8662-2588; alternative contact numbers include 0998-8572957, 0968-8654670, 0917-1275987, or 0917-1109812.
The OECB bundle encompasses all outpatient services and supplies offered at the emergency department (ED) and associated units within PhilHealth-approved healthcare institutions, covering care administered prior to arriving at or during transit to a medical facility.
The coverage includes patients who did not need to be admitted to the hospital, were released within 24 hours of arriving at the emergency department (ED), or passed away while in the ED.
Included in the OECB bundle of cases are symptoms such as vertigo, loose stools, continuous retching, high blood pressure, non-impact-related hemorrhaging, convulsions, intense head pain, and incidents of sexual violence.

The Sacred Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ as Recorded by Saint Luke
11, 14-23.
Jesus expelled a silent demon from a person, and once the demon left, the previously mute individual started speaking, leaving everyone astonished.
A few of them remarked, “Through the authority of Beelzebul, the ruler of devils, he expels evil spirits.”
Other people, wanting to put him to the test, requested he show them a sign from the heavens.
However, he understood what they were thinking and told them, “Any kingdom that turns against itself will become ruined, and every home within it will collapse.”
If Satan is at odds with himself, how can his kingdom endure? After all, you claim that I cast out demons through Beelzebul.
If I cast out demons through Beelzebul, then how do your followers explain driving out such spirits? They themselves will pass judgment on you.
However, if it is through the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you.
If a well-armed man stands guard over his palace, his belongings will be secure.
Yet, when someone even more powerful challenges and defeats him, they seize the protection he depended on and share out his possessions.
Anyone who is not on my side stands against me, and anyone who doesn’t join with me actually helps in spreading opposition.

It makes sense why Karyll Miranda has spent much of her first year with Far Eastern mostly as a reserve player. She backs up Tin Ubaldo, who is among the nation’s leading amateur setters.
The Lady Tamaraws currently stand at second place in the elimination round of the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament, largely due to Ubaldo orchestrating the plays effectively. However, praise must also be shared with Miranda, who stepped up admirably when Far Eastern University’s primary setter struggled during their match on Wednesday.
In terms of skills, Miranda has nothing to be concerned about, and she can gain valuable knowledge from Lady Tamaraws’ coach, Tina Salak, one of the nation’s most distinguished setters of all time, who provided the newcomer with an opportunity during the match against University of the East.
After securing a 25-20, 25-20, 25-23 triumph against the Lady Red Warriors, Salak stated, “In every match, I inform my players that they have a chance to compete.” In this game, Miranda delivered 17 outstanding sets, guiding the Tamaraws to their sixth success out of nine matches.
“It’s their choice whether they’ll deliver or not,” stated Salak, who naturally places greater emphasis on her setters.
Taking wheel
It doesn’t imply that Miranda can unwind just because she’s the secondary setter,” Salak stated about her newcomer. “She still holds an important position since my setters carry significant responsibilities. Naturally, I push both of them quite hard.
With the break she got, Miranda has just assured Salak that she could one day be trusted to run the Morayta squad’s offense.
Out of 49 tries, Ubaldo managed only five outstanding sets before handing over the reins to Miranda, who effectively steered the Far Eastern attack.
“The chance is huge since I rarely get to play,” stated the rookie setter. “I’m excited about our potential to improve in upcoming matches.”
“I’m excited to learn more from both of them since Coach Tina mentioned that we have the opportunity to lead the team. As long as there’s still time, Tin (Ubaldo) and I assist each other with whatever we need to accomplish,” she stated.
Far Eastern anticipates continued improvement as they have five more matches ahead before reaching the Final Four stage. Securing a 1-2 standing could provide them with the benefit of advancing with just one victory.
However, the defending champions from National University await them next, and Far Eastern must remain highly cautious when facing the sharp-minded Lady Bulldogs, who will enter the match eager after suffering their initial defeat of the season.
This will be high-pressure competition, with a fierce battle since the Tamaraws are determined to stay at number two at minimum.
“Playing under pressure is inevitable since it will constantly be present,” Miranda stated. “The choice is yours to figure out how to conquer it.”

As Rondae Hollis-Jefferson steps into unfamiliar ground in his PBA career for the first time, he believes that there’s no need for anything extraordinary from him to help TNT secure their third title since he joined two years back.
I have never experienced a Game 7 before,” stated the former NBA player. “However, ultimately, it boils down to basketball. For both teams, it’s make-or-break; they either come out victorious or call it quits. The key is to leave nothing on the court or not step onto it at all.
The key game for the Commissioner’s Cup Finals begins at 7:30 p.m. at what is anticipated to be a full house at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Many fans are eager to witness an exciting conclusion to a series that could potentially go down as one of the most thrilling championship matchups in league history.
Barangay Ginebra’s coach Tim Cone has experienced numerous wins and losses throughout his career, with moments being referred to as the “best two words in sports.” However, for this legendary coach aiming to secure his 26th championship title, each Game 7 remains equally challenging.
Cone stated, “They will never be just another game. They are challenging opponents.”
The victor will have the privilege of lifting the midseason conference trophy and will also gain boasting rights in a rivalry that has intensified with their three encounters in the Finals since Hollis-Jefferson went up against the Justin Brownlee-led Ginebra squad during the 2023 Governors’ Cup.
The TNT team clinched victory in six games during that series, and they repeated this feat in the opening game of the Governors’ Cup against Ginebra yet again. The Tropang Giga secured their position thanks to Hollis-Jefferson’s versatile performance, continued strong plays from Rey Nambatac, and Poy Erram’s remarkable poise, which prevented the Gin Kings from seizing their initial opportunity for triumph with an 87-83 win just two evenings prior.
The battle cry
I believe I’m prepared,” Hollis-Jefferson stated. “My approach is to come in and pour everything into it, as usual, battling hard to contribute to our victory. That’s how I plan to enter: doing whatever it takes.
These could very well be the anticipated rallying calls from the remaining members of Tropang Giga. With Nambatac gunning for an outstanding finale after a stellar showing in the finals, and Erram looking to make a constructive impact while steering clear of past incidents where his outbursts marred games two and five.
How Calvin Oftana and RR Pogoy fare on both offense and defense might also play a key role following the up-and-down outcomes since the Finals started two weeks back. Additionally, for TNT as a team, improving their performance in the final quarter, similar to what they achieved in Game 6, will be essential.
Cone has an overall record of 6-4 in Game 7s of the Finals when coaching Alaska, B-Meg/San Mig Coffee, and Ginebra. Additionally, he holds a 1-1 record in decisive Game 5s of the Finals and secured victory in a crucial Game 3 during the 2003 Invitational while leading Alaska.
Brownlee aims to conclude a finals series that nearly concluded prematurely due to his dislocated right thumb suffered during game three. A win here would establish him as the most successful foreign player ever with seven victories under his belt.
He nearly succeeded in Game 6, but Ginebra came up short.
Brownlee understands the sensation of being part of a Game 7 match, such as when Ginebra defeated Meralco with an audience of 54,000 at the Philippine Arena during the 2017 Governors’ Cup. He aims to recreate this experience for the Gin Kings and their dedicated fan base.
Scottie Thompson witnessed his streak of solid performances come to an end during Game 6 and aims to make amends. The form that Japeth Aguilar, Stephen Holt, Maverick Ahanmisi, Troy Rosario, or RJ Abarrientos exhibit might as well sway the result.
