AnaKalusugan Party-list Rep. Ray T. Reyes expressed concern over reports saying the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) is operating its antivirus software on a one-month subscription.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cParang trial version lang? Ilang buwan na po ang lumipas nang unang mai-report itong data breach at ang solusyon nila sa problema ay one month subscription ng anti-virus software?” he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reyes also scored PhilHealth officials for blaming the new government procurement guidelines for the non-renewal of its antivirus software.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe expiry of the antivirus software is on you. Way before it expired, you could have done what was needed to ensure data protection,” he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The lawmaker said the data leak would have been easily prevented if PhilHealth prioritized strengthening its cybersecurity measures over increasing its executives’ pay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Inuna nyo kasi ang umento, imbes na antivirus niyo,” Reyes said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reyes is referring to the Commission on Audit\u2019s 2022 report which showed PhilHealth executives tripling their salaries in 2022, with some earning up to P500,000 monthly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said the data leak further underscores the fact that the PhilHealth officials’ pay hike is both ill-timed and undeserved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAng mandato ng PhilHealth ay pasegurong solusyon sa problemang pangkalusugan. Bakit ngayon puro problema ang bigay nito sa bayan?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Hindi kailangang magdusa ng Pilipino, dahil sa kapabayaan laban sa Medusa ng iilang tao,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
