MANILA, Philippines — A passenger-cargo shipping vessel accidentally ran aground along the vicinity off Calapan Port in Oriental Mindoro.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Jan. 12 (PIA) -– January is not even halfway yet, but as early as now, Philhealth beneficiaries have already increased by 10,000 in the province.
According to Ernanie C. Decena, health insurance manager of Oriental Mindoro, the figure was added to last year’s record of about 78,000 PhilHealth beneficiaries.
Lieutenant Commander Algier Ricafrente, Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Public Affairs chief said that while maneuvering along the area of the said port terminal, M/V Baleno 5 operated by Besta Shipping Lines encountered strong current causing the said vessel to drift to shallow part of the water.
The provincial government has allotted a total of P58 million to support the universal health coverage program of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation.
Decena also said that the provincial government initiated last year a computerized data base system to record the names of their constituent-members to avoid duplication of health cards issued by both national and local governments.
Fortunately, no damage has been reported after the incident on the vessel along with its eight rolling cargo onboard.
The program assures access by Mindoreños to government health programs, especially those from the rural barangays. The health cards issued by the provincial government are now valid starting this month until December this year. (LBR/LTC/PIA4-B Or. Mindoro)
