The Supreme Court of the Philippines is set to deliberate on several high-profile cases, including issues related to the government’s anti-drug campaign, the operation of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), and the alleged diversion of ₱89.9 billion in unused funds from the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).
Petitioners have raised concerns over the constitutionality and legality of these matters, prompting judicial review.
The anti-drug campaign has faced scrutiny over alleged human rights violations, while POGOs have been linked to various criminal activities, leading to calls for their regulation or ban.
The PhilHealth fund diversion has sparked public outcry over the potential misuse of healthcare funds.
The Supreme Court’s decisions on these cases are anticipated to have significant implications for national policy and governance.
