Study material, not legal advice. Written and checked by the PhilippineLaws team to the best of our knowledge; not reviewed by a lawyer. A digest is a summary — the full decision is the authority, so read it before you cite it.
Don't cite this from here. The docket on file (G.R. No. 2025-PHILHEALTH-TREASURY) could not be matched to any decision in the library, so it is not shown as a citation above. The case may well be real — find the reported citation before you use it.

Why it matters
The Supreme Court ordered the return of PHP 60 billion in excess funds transferred to the National Treasury, ruling that funds earmarked by law for a specific purpose (such as PhilHealth's mandated reserves) cannot be diverted to the general fund via budget "riders."
