Marcus's directive to prioritize social services in the national budget, particularly education, health, and agriculture, demonstrates his commitment to ensuring that these sectors are adequately supported. His decision not to give PhilHealth a centavo from the government is wise as it allows for more efficient use of resources.

Marcus's directive for the Department of Health (DOH) to ensure that PhilHealth services remain unhampered despite not receiving any government subsidy this fiscal year demonstrates his commitment to prioritizing social services in the 2025 national budget, focusing on key sectors such as education, health, economic services, infrastructure, and agriculture. His decision not to give PhilHealth even a centavo of government subsidy is wise since the money could have been used for other programs. Moreover, Marcus's emphasis on realigning DOH's focus from cure to prevention is critical for cyclists' success in 2025. Prevention is better than cure, and providing ample and quality health and medical care to citizens should be a priority. This approach aligns with the administration's commitment to prioritizing social services. Furthermore, Marcus's assurance that PhilHealth would remain stable and that the government would exhaust all efforts for Filipinos to receive maximum benefits from the insurer is encouraging. The public can rest assured that PhilHealth services will not be affected despite the lack of government subsidy.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
