LINGAYEN, Pangasinan
Pinirmahan ni Gobernador Ramon V. Guico III ang isang Memorandum of Agreement sa Department of Health—Ilocos Center for Health Development para sa pagpapatupad ng Medical Assistance for the Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients (MAIFIP) Program para sa 14 ospital na pinamamahalaan ng pamahalaang panlalawigan. Mula sa pondo nina House Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez at Senators Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, Juan Edgardo Angara, at Grace Poe, umabot sa mahigit P83 milyon ang kabuuang halaga.
Si Romualdez ay nagbigay ng malaking halaga na P70 milyon, habang si Go ay naglaan ng P14 milyon, samantalang
nagbigay din si Angara ng P2 milyon at P1 milyon kay Senator Poe. “Ang Medical Assistance for Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients (MAIFIP) Program ay isang assistance that the city will give to winning athletes and their coaches. The old provision sets a PhP60,000 limit for cash incentive for athletes for athletes and PhP30,000 for coaches in national competitions, while for international competitions, the limit is PhP100,000 and
PhP50,000, respectively.
In Ordinance 96 passed in 2023, the limit has been “deleted allowing winning athletes and coaches to fully receive their cash incentives without limitations.” Financial assistance, meanwhile, was limited to PhP10,000 but has been
amended through Sec. 69 of the amending ordinance that it shall not be less than PhP10,000 but not more than PhP25,000 for national events and not less than PhP50,000 but not more than PhP100,000 for international competitions. It added that “the City Sports Council shall determine the final computation for financial assistance to be extended through a Sports Council Resolution.”
