费迪南德·马科斯 Jr.总统宣布，他已指示PhilHealth向未能缴纳供款的公司和个人授予一般大赦，提供一年时间补缴欠款。此次2026年一次性利息豁免将惠及约30万名受益人。
周四1月8日，在一段视频声明中，费迪南德·马科斯 Jr.总统表示，他意识到3%的PhilHealth供款对公民的影响。“我已指示PhilHealth向企业负责人、私人雇主和未缴PhilHealth供款的个体公民授予一般大赦，”他说。 此番大赦允许雇主有一年时间结算2013年至2024年的未缴供款，并于2026年一次性豁免利息。马科斯表示，这将帮助约30万名受益人。他还敦促雇主更新信息，并在Yaman ng Kalusugan或YAKAP计划下注册员工，该计划提供基本实验室服务和每年高达P20,000的75种基本药品覆盖。 与此同时，PhilHealth总裁兼首席执行官埃德温·梅尔卡多指出，虽然2025年福利支付比前一年激增76%至P289.26十亿，但该国有保险公司仍需要更广泛的覆盖范围和可及性。
