The Hospital Management Office turned over a check worth P487 million to Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. representing the consolidated excess income and unutilized cash advances of nine provincial and district hospitals for fiscal year 2025.
The turnover was made yesterday, March 9, 2026, during the SGLG Pre-Assessment and Investment Prioritization at Damires Hills Tierra Verde.
Of the 13 hospitals managed by the province, nine operate as a Local Economic Enterprise (LEE).
HMO Head Atty. Yoko Marie Eguia said the excess income can be attributed to improved collection efficiency of hospitals, high reimbursement and increased package rates of PhilHealth, and coverage of Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients (MAIFIP) by the Department of Health.
Governor Defensor said the provincial government continues to embark on the upgrade of the provincial and district hospitals to provide improved healthcare to the Ilonggos.
The excess income was driven by the following hospitals:
1. Iloilo Provincial Hospital (Pototan) - P90.629 million
2. ALEOSAN District Hospital (Alimodian) - P67.161 million
3. Ramon Tabiana Memorial District Hospital (Cabatuan) - P41.399 million
4. Rep. Pedro G. Trono Memorial Hospital (Guimbal) - P68.379 million
5. Sara District Hospital (Sara) - P97.315 million
6. Dr. Ricardo S. Provido Sr. Memorial District Hospital (Calinog) - P39.229 million
7. Don Valerio Palmares Sr. Memorial District Hospital (Passi City) - P44.916 million
8. Jesus M. Colmerares District Hospital (Balasan) - P13.926 million
9. Federico Roman Tirador Sr. Memorial District Hospital (Janiuay) - P24.341 million
The surplus amount will be reverted to the General Fund to be used for other initiatives of the provincial government under the MoRProGRes Iloilo development agenda.
