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-PIMENTEL-HOR) 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
Unanimously ordered the return of PHP 60 billion in PhilHealth funds improperly transferred to the National Treasury via a budget 'rider,' ruling that earmarked funds created by law cannot be diverted through the General Appropriations Act.
