Malacañang assured on Friday the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) will pay its debt to hotel establishments accommodating overseas Filipino workers as quarantine facilities.
According to the Hotel Sales and Marketing Association, the OWWA has yet to pay at least 20 hotels about P250 million for their services.
“Well alam niyo sang-ayon sa OWWA, mahigit na P2.3 billion na ang binayad natin sa ibat-ibang hotel. At lahat naman [na] mga billings ng hotel ay binubusisi, nagre-reconcile, at vine-verify sang-ayon po sa standard COA (Commission on Audit) procedures,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said during a Laging Handa public briefing.
“So ‘wag po kayong magalala. May pera po tayo diyan. Meron lang po talagang mga paper work at mga validation na kinakailangang gawin bago mabayaran,” added Roque.
Earlier, the Philippine Red Cross stopped its coronavirus testing for the government after the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. failed to pay its debt to the organization that reached over P1 billion.
